Beautiful Color and Plenty of Activity in the Heart of Farm Country

River Dining and Crab Legs...Two of My Favorite Things

I am a diehard seafood lover. Crab, shrimp, and fish & chips are at the top of my list. The Redfin Blues is a fine restaurant that sits on the Allegheny River. Guests can access the restaurant by boat after a long day on the water. They serve all-you-can-eat crab legs all day, every day. Location:... Sign in to see full entry.

Experimenting With Drying My Own Herbs...So Far, So Good

This is not an easy task with Pennsylvania's typical humid conditions, but having an abundance of herbs this year, I decided that I would like to have a good supply of my surplus all year round, so I started drying them out yesterday. So far, they are doing good. Using raffia, I hung my thyme,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Most Haunted Mansion in Pennsylvania Was an Iron Master's Dream

In 1849, Elias Baker, ironmaster and co-owner of a furnace works with his cousin, built a house near his business in Altoona. It is Baker himself, his wife, daughter, and son, who are said to haunt the old Baker Mansion that still stands as a museum to this day. Anna, his daughter, fell in love with...

Old School Diners Are Becoming Hard to Find, but We Found a True Gem

Country drives are something that John and I take regularly. Most often they lead to great finds like the old-school diner that we came across after veering off of old route 30, heading toward Somerset on route 219. Lovely images of bygone days heightened the drive with views of colorful murals on... Sign in to see full entry.

I make a creamy white bechamel sauce from butter, flour, and half & half. I then add crushed garlic, mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley,... Sign in to see full entry.

Not the Best of Days

I put on my big girl panties today and headed out to my scheduled doctor's appointment. My yearly wellness checkup resulted in my doctor requesting that I get my 2nd Shingrix shot which was executed by his assistant right there in his office at the Allegheny Health Network building. I had a bit of a... Sign in to see full entry.

This is One of My Favorite Days When It Comes to Dinner

Today is taco Tuesday in our house, so that means that John and I will head out to find some really good Mexican food. Living near Pittsburgh, you'd think that there are plenty of Mexican restaurants, but that's just not the case. I make a lot of homemade enchiladas, steak tacos, Fajitas, and...
