Another Great Day for Grilling In My Neck of the Woods

Gotta take advantage of the weather while we can, and thankfully, Pittsburgh will be treated to another 70-something-degree day today, so John and I plan to fire up the grill later this afternoon. Later, I will slow-bake a rack of baby back ribs in the oven and then finish them off on the grill with... Sign in to see full entry.

Pittsburgh is Hitting a Temperature of 72 Degrees Today

It is a sunny and beautiful day with blue skies as far as the eye can see. John is on the day shift this week, so he texted and asked me to break out the grill and make teriyaki chicken shish kabobs this afternoon for dinner. I make them with chunks of yellow peppers, red onions, and mushrooms, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Absolutely Enjoy Seeing the Many Talented Actors in Local Theater

When the Warner Theater closed in 1983, it marked the beginning of the end of a glorious era of Pittsburgh's downtown vitality. Today the theater is a ghost of empty office space, but for decades the Warner Theater was Western Pennsylvania's greatest movie theater. It opened over a century ago as...

This is Such An Exciting and Special Day

My only granddaughter turns 14 today, and she will be spending most of her birthday on stage at her school, performing in the world famous production, Fiddler On the Roof which is a musical film adaptation of the stage play about a Jewish peasant in pre-revolutionary Russia.

Yippee...It's Pizza Day!

John and I normally look for a good pizza deal every Friday. Living near Pittsburgh, pizza promotions are a dime a dozen. Dominoes is our favorite chain, but we prefer an oven-fired pizza, which offers a bolder flavor due to the cooking process. A few of our local wineries offer this style of pizza,...

I Woke Up Well Rested This Morning and Ready to Get Caught Up

Road trips are fun, but they come with some quirks that include left-behind chores that need to be addressed once arriving back home. My first order of the day was laundry. My second chore was to fill all of my bird feeders. I then had to make a trip to the grocery store to stock up on John's lunch... Sign in to see full entry.

To Say That I Am Tired Would Be an Understatement

John and I headed out early Monday along with our middle daughter and her husband on a short road trip across Pennsylvania. We landed in Gettysburg first, and then we headed for places unknown, including Centralia and the famous Yuengling Factory in Pottsville. The once thriving coal town of... Sign in to see full entry.

All of these places are located just a few short hours from our home, but we are all... Sign in to see full entry.

These Guys Could Have Cared Less About the Sudden Snow Flurries

We continue to fluctuate between unseasonably high temps and chilly days that come with a few snow flurries. This morning I was treated to these guys feasting in the yard while ignoring the snow. By Monday, Pittsburgh's temps are supposed to hit 60 degrees. Talk about fickle weather. Sign in to see full entry.

Hand's Down, This is One of Pittsburgh's Best Seafood Houses

Fridays are a big deal in my neck of the woods when it comes to locating a really good fish sandwich. For over 150 years, the Original Oyster House has been serving the freshest seafood in western Pennsylvania. Located in downtown Pittsburgh at the popular Market Square, the historic landmark was...
