Spoon&Cellar’s Steakburger.

Recently, I found an unused Downtown Gift Card while I was organizing. Over on DowntownCincy.com, I was scanning the list of all the restaurants that accept Downtown Gift Cards looking for something new and different from lunch. I noticed that one of the participants was Spoon&Cellar at the new Holiday Inn just around the corner from our office over on Seventh Street. I had Spoon&Cellar’s club sammich a while back and it was really good. So today, I decided to use a portion of Downtown Gift Card and get a Spoon&Cellar Steakburger with bacon for lunch…

That was a really excellent burger. Nothing fancy just a really good burger. 😀🍔🍟❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

We had another one of the fantastic Kroger Prep+Pared meals for dinner tonight. This one was Mini Meatloaves and Homemade Ketchup with garlic smashed potatoes

The meatloaves were terrific and the smashed potatoes were pretty awesome. The homemade ketchup was a little on the vinegary side for me but I don’t think the meal even needed the ketchup. It was another really great Prep+Pared dinner. 😀🍖❤️

Some Saturday errands.

We ran some errands late this morning into the early afternoon. We ran over to the Westside to sign our taxes and get those in the mail. We’re happy to report that we’re looking forward to a pretty nice return from the federal but we owed a little to the state. So we’re happy that taxes are done for another year. From there, we ran over to Tire Discounters on North Bend Road. We’ve been having a slow leak in our passenger rear tire. It’s never gone completely flat because we kept putting air in it. But then a few days later the tire pressure warning light would come back on. While we were waiting for our tire to be fixed, we spied a Skyline down the street. So instead of waiting in the tire waiting room, we walked down the road and had lunch at Skyline! Genifer and I haven’t had Skyline together in forever…

While we were at Skyline, Genifer found this sticker in Swarm that we didn’t know existed. And it’s funny because well, it’s named Oscar…

Mmmm, cheese coneys…

The tire place said your rear tires had near bald spots on them so we had the rear tires replaced. So now we have four brand new tires on our car and we should be good on the whole tire thing for a while again…

Errands aren’t that much fun. Buying new tires isn’t that much fun either. But the Skyline was outstanding. 😀🧀🌭❤️

Good morning from Northside.

We took the dogs out for a walk this morning a found we had a dusting of snow…

When we got home from our walk, Genifer made these homemade Chocolate Chip Cheese Danishes

And they were delicious! I could definitely eat a couple of these every morning! Good morning from Northside! 😀🇩🇰❤️

I ❤️ cashews.

I ❤️ cashews. They are hands down, far and away my favorite nut. That is all. 😀🥜❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made this amazing Mongolian Meatball Ramen for dinner…

It was outstanding; an instant classic! It was one of my favorite dishes she’s ever made! And I hope she makes this one over and over and over again. YUM! 😀🍜❤️

A Second Place celebration.

This evening we stopped at Second Place to catch the end of happy hour to celebrate my being done with my physical therapy…

It’s been a little while since we were last at Second Place. It was just too far for us to walk in the cold for the most of the winter…

Second Place’s happy hour includes $1 off slushes…

Second Place has a new menu

And happy hour included half-price burgers as well!

The burgers were really delicious and the fries were outstanding!

It was great to get back to Second Place. It had been way too long since our last bourbon slushies. And I see many more of their terrific burgers in our future as the weather starts getting warmer and warmer. 😀🥃🍔🍟❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Tonight, Genifer made another Kroger Prep+Pared Meal Kits for dinner tonight. This meal kit was Crispy Pork Chops with blistered tomatoes and creamed spinach…

And it was another amazing meal…

I haven’t had a pork chop that good in a long time. The Kroger Prep+Pared meals are so delicious. 😀🐷❤️

Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER! We had a very nice Easter Sunday. Genifer made me this really sweet little Easter basket…

We got a wonderful Easter card from JJVE with some terrific artwork from Violette…

Here’s a photo Jeannette sent of Violette with her artwork and the bunny she drew us…

And here’s a photo Josh sent of Violette with her bunny. It was the bunny we sent her from Happy Groundhog Studio

Later, Genifer’s mom came over and my parents came down from Michigan for the night on their way out east to do some antiquing and they brought some delicious Pizza King pizzas down with them…

YUM! Pizza King pizza is sooo good. My mom also brought down a very delicious cherry cobbler. It was a very nice surprise to get to spend Easter evening with my parents and Genifer’s mom. It turned out to be a really nice Easter. 😀🐰🐣❤️

On a personal note, I need to take more photos when people come over or when we do things with other people. I need to make more of a conscious effort to make sure I take at least one photo of everyone together. I really need to do a better job of that. I just 😀📷❤️

Northside Saturday.

After the fog this morning lifted, it turned out to be a pretty nice day. It wasn’t all that particularly warm but the sun was out and that made for a nice change of pace. We walked over to Boswell’s

We had a hankering for cheeseburgers and Bos bites…

Afterwards, we stopped into Urban Artifact for a beer…

My sister, Shannon sent us a $25 Giftly gift card to use at Urban Artifact. We definitely put it to good use and ordered a couple of UA’s special tap, Blueberry Parfait

Urban Artifact had a mailbox and postcards on their bar celebrating their new tart IPA called Postcard

Keep your eye on your mailbox for a postcard from us thanks to Urban Artifact. It was another really fun day just hanging out in our neighborhood. It’s so nice to be able to walk places again! 😀🍔🐔🍻❤️
