It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits for dinner tonight. This one was Chicken with Poblano Cream Sauce…

The pepitas in the delicious cream sauce added this amazing crunch to every bite. And it was another very delicious meal! We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. πŸ˜€πŸ”β€οΈ

Happy National Carrot Cake Day!

Today was National Carrot Cake Day. After work, I stopped at Caffe Barrista before Genifer picked me up. Genifer loves carrot cake so I brought home a couple of slices for us to enjoy this evening…

I wish all holidays were this delicious! πŸ˜€πŸ₯•❀️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Tonight for dinner, Genifer made Trader Ming’s Chicken Chow Mein from Trader Joe’s…

It was another really good Asian dinner from Trader Joe’s freezer section just like our favorites: Mandarin Orange Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken. πŸ˜€πŸ₯‘❀️

Happy National Croissant Day.

Today was National Croissant Day. I had mine with sausage, egg, and cheese…

And I got chocolate milk to go with my sammich…

Caffe Barrista on Fourth Street has amazing breakfast sammiches. πŸ˜€πŸ₯β€οΈ

Genifer usually drops me off at work right around 8:30 in the morning. I dropped my backpack at my desk, walked down Fourth Street to get my haircut, walked back down Fourth Street to get a breakfast sammich and got back to work before most people had even set foot in the building. It’s kind of crazy how both Genifer and I have transitioned to become morning people. And I like it.

Camp Washington Chili.

After Cincinnati Museum Center, we continued my birthday theme of celebrating with things that are Cincinnati wonderful. And we stopped for lunch at another place that’s older than I am, Camp Washington Chili

I’d had Camp Washington Chili at the Coney Eating Contests on Fountain Square but we’d never been to their restaurant for some reason. We thought we’d change that today for my birthday lunch…

Genifer ordered two chili cheese sammiches…

I ordered a patty melt and a cheese coney and we shared some french fries…

Everything was delicious! And there was so much stuff on their menu that sounded great. I can’t wait to come back to Camp Washington Chili because next time I have to try their 513 Way…

It’s three slabs of goetta topped with chili, beans, onions, and cheese. It doesn’t get much more Cincinnati than that. Before we left, we got a couple of pieces of cake for us to eat later…

Genifer got carrot cake because she loves carrot cake…

And I got chocolate cake for my birthday cake…

What a delicious birthday lunch. Thanks, Camp Washington Chili! πŸ˜€πŸ§€πŸŒ­πŸŽ‚β€οΈ

ps. I had a really great birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

NYPD Pizza party!

We had another NYPD Pizza party tonight! We stopped to pick up some pizza and wings on our way home from work…

NYPD Pizza is always so delicious! It was a pretty great way to start celebrating my birthday a little bit early! πŸ˜€πŸ•β€οΈ

Another rainy Saturday.

This morning we woke up early again to head over to Trader Joe’s before it got too crazy busy on Saturday. The later it gets, the busier it gets. We usually try to get to Trader Joe’s as close to 8am when it open as we can. This morning was our best time
so far. We pulled into their parking lot at 8:02am…

I just thought that little berry bunny was pretty cute. We didn’t get any frozen chocolate cover strawberry pieces though. I wonder if they would be good?

After we were done getting groceries at TJ’s, we headed over to get our Saturday morning coffee at Biggby

Biggby is our reward for getting up and getting groceries out of the way. We both got hot chocolates this morning. Biggby had more student artwork on display on their walls. I really liked the hills with the watercolor skies…

The owl and the elephant were really great too…

And if we had a daughter and named her Niala…

She would be Niala Fiala. Maybe Niala could be a middle name.

Later, we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for another lunch with our gift cards we got for Christmas…

Taft’s had a new Hazelnut Latte Coffee Milk Stout on tap…

And it was really delicious. We watched the Michigan-Illinois game on our little tablet. We shared a small pizza with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers…

We also shared some of Taft’s chicken wings…

We had six buffalo wings and six Cherrywood BBQ wings…

I think I really like the Cherrywood BBQ the best. But they’re both really good. And even though, Michigan lost. Again. It was a great lunch. We just love Taft’s pizza and wings.

Later, we started watching a series called 11.22.63 on Hulu. It’s pretty good so far. And even though it was another rainy day, it was another pretty good Saturday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ¨οΈβ€οΈ

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made lasagna for dinner tonight…

And there was garlic bread. I love garlic bread. The lasagna was really good too. It’s been a minute since we’ve had lasagna. πŸ˜€πŸβ€οΈ

It’s what’s for dinner.

For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits. This one was Cheesy Chimichurri Chicken with corn and potatoes…

It was a little on the spicy side. But it was another very delicious meal. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. πŸ˜€πŸβ€οΈ

A morning run around.

We had the day off work today for the MLK Jr Day holiday. This morning we got up early to run some errands. We planned on stopping to get coffee at College Hill Coffee Company in College Hill…

But they’re closed on Mondays. We picked up a refill of Mack’s allergy medicine from his vet down the street in College Hill. And then we headed over to Rookwood. We finally got coffee and hot chocolate from Joseph-Beth Booksellers. We had a couple of exchanges at J. Crew. And ran through Home goods where we saw an awesome Josh mug. You don’t see Josh mugs very often. This one will be on its way out to Boston as soon as I can find a little box to put it in…

After we were done running our errands, we had lunch at Rusty Bucket. It’s funny it seems like every time we’re over at Rookwood we end up eating lunch at Rusty Bucket…

It’s nothing fancy. It’s just really good. Genifer’s been on quite a quesadilla kick lately…

Making it two days in a row. But we shared the first one so… I had the same sammich I order every single time we go to Rusty Bucket, Chicken Finger BLT...

And we shared a piece of strawberry cheesecake for dessert…

I ate all the strawberries and whipped cream. Genifer ate the actual cheesecake.

Other than our errands, we didn’t do much else today. We walked the dogs and watched the Lakers-Celtics MLK Day NBA game and that was about it. πŸ˜€πŸ”β€οΈ
