Today seemed like a perfect day for another HabaƱero Burrito Monday…
We love HabaƱero’s Burrito Mondays. We got two huge burritos with chips and salsa for just $11.50. You can’t beat that. It makes dinner sooo easy. The burritos are enormous and really delicious. And I really dig their chips and salsa too. š

It was a chilly afternoon but we hopped on our Metro 17 bus again…
We rode over to the University of Cincinnati…
For this afternoon’s Crafty Supermarket at the University of Cincinnati’s Campus Recreation Center…
We found a bunch of new treasures and got a start on our ChristmasĀ shopping…
Afterwards, we had some amazing wings at Mac’s Pizza Pub…
And then we caught as Uber back home. It was a really great afternoon. š

It was a gorgeous fall Saturday afternoon today. How many more days are going to this beautiful? We had a couple of passes to the Cincinnati Zoo that we going to expire kind of soon-ish, so it sounded like a perfect idea to go spend the afternoon at the zoo, and check out the zoo’s new Hippo Cove for the first time…
It’s been a minute since we’ve been to the zoo…
Walking around, it looked like they were just putting the finishing touches on hanging all the 2.5 million LED lights for theĀ 34th annual āWild Wonderlandā PNC Festival of Lights, which starts next weekend on November 19th…
We can’t wait to to come back in a couple weeks for the Festival of Lights…
The red pandas are one of my favorites. They’re soooo cute…
Penguins are always a favorite too…
Ask about Aquaponies…
Are they like seahorses? This peacock was just hanging out on top of a table in the sun…
Here it is… HIPPO COVE!
Hippo Cove was incredible! I could have sat there and watched the hippos all day. It was amazing to see them that active and so up-close and personal. They are very impressive!
The giraffes are some of our favorites too…
The bears were all crashed out…
And we exit through the gift shop…
It’s always amazing to spend an afternoon at the zoo. š

We were pretty hungry after the FC Cincinnati match, so we walked down Calhoun Street to check out French Fry Heaven for the first time…
French Fry Heaven just opened on University of Cincinnati’s campus back in April andĀ is known for “having divinely inspired loaded fresh cut fries, chicken tenders, baked potatoes and fresh cut chips.”
We both ordered loaded fries because it’s called FRENCH FRY Heaven…
It was surprisingly empty for being a Saturday night right after a soccer game…
Then our number was called and our spuds were ready. Genifer ordered the Chili and Cheese fries…
And I ordered the Buffalo Chicken fries…
It was delicious stuff. The fries were pretty awesome, and there were smothered in toppings as you can see. But we ordered way too much food. Again…
I couldn’t help think while we were eating our delicious loaded spuds that we’ve had something like this before but I couldn’t place it. And then it finally dawned on me. I was eating a bigger, tastier version of FryBox down at Great American Ball Park!
I can definitely see us being back, especially after a FC|C match. Genifer said next time she would just get a small order of fries with cheese sauce dip. I’d really like to try the Taco Loaded Fries or some chicken tenders. See you soon French Fry Heaven. š

After the success of getting carry-out Taco Tuesday, I got off the bus on the way home today to check out HabaƱero’s Burrito Mondays. Burritos are just $5 on Mondays. I picked us up two burritos, along with chips and salsa and got back on the bus to head the rest of the way home. HabaƱero’s burritos are pretty massive…
Genifer got grilled chicken in hers. Of course, I got taco meat…
We got meat, Mexican rice, black beans, cheese, sour cream and medium salsa in them. And it made for some really delicious burritos! Maybe even better than their tacos! For the two burritos and chips and salsa it was almost $12. You can’t beat that. I can see HabaƱero’s Burrito Mondays becoming a regular staple in our house. It’s going to be hard to decide between Burrito Mondays and Taco Tuesdays. We’ll have to alternate. All I know is, there are definitely worse problems to have. š
ps. I took more photos of HabaƱero but when I went to look for them, they had up and disappeared from my phone. I’m not sure what happened. But next time we visit we’ll be sure to take some more photos.

Every day on the bus ride home, I pass HabaƱero in Clifton. I guess I’ve always known it was right around here somewhere. But before we moved, I never really sought it out.Ā The bus rolled passed and I thought, “Oh, so that’s where that is. We should try that sometime.” Come to find out that every Tuesday is Taco Tuesday atĀ HabaƱero. So I hopped off the bus on the way home this evening to check Taco Tuesday and grab us some $2 tacos…
And five minutes later, I was holding a big bag of tacos and chips & salsa waiting for catch the bus home…
Genifer and Oscar met me at the bus stop and we walked home to enjoy some tacos…
I got two adobo chicken tacos, one bbq chicken, two ground beef and one pork and of course, chips and salsa…
I got all of this for just over $13. And it was way too much food. Next time, I’m just going to get two, maybe three tacos and chips and salsa. But they were so good! Not much to look at or take photos of, but nonetheless, sooo good. Genifer’s favorite were the Adobo chicken. My favorite was the ground beef. Nothing says taco to me like taco meat tacos. On Taco Tuesdays, you get your choice of meat, choice of beans, Mexican rice and two toppings all for just $2 a taco. I can definitely see many more HabaƱero Taco Tuesdays in our future! And we can’t wait to check out Burrito Mondays too! š

Genifer picked me up from work this evening. On a whim on our way home, we stopped at Ludlow Garage Bistro in the Clifton Gaslight District for a little snack…
We shared the trio of deviled eggs. I love deviled eggs! One was filled with avocado yolk, one with a spicy jalapeno yolk and the center one below was a pickled egg filled with a standard deviled egg yolk center, all served over mixed greens…
The jalapeno one was pretty amazing. The heat really crept up on you very slowly. We also shared a grilled cheeses. And it was a very interesting grilled cheeses. It had both a bacon jam and a tomato jam on it. It was really good. Just very much unlike any other grilled cheeses I’ve ever had. It had a cute, clever name but I can’t recall what it was, and I can’t seem to find their new menu anywhere online. So…
It came with pasta salad. And we added a side of fries. It was a great little snack. We’d like to stop back at some point to try some of their other menu items like their Cuban sammich. I love Cuban sammichs. And Live at the Ludlow Garage looks like an pretty awesome place to catch some live music too. Very intimate. š
