Penn’s Corner CSA Week 3 – 5
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so hopefully this will get me back into the swing of things. (I’ve been busy packing and moving my stuff to Utah – yes, my house is still for sale.) I have a few posts in the pipe (visit to BRGR, a trip to the Strip District, and [...]

Penn’s Corner CSA Week 2
I was so excited about the first week, that I decided I should share my bounty from week #2. If you aren’t familiar with what a farm share is, check out my post from last week about the Penn’s Corner Farm Share – Week 1. We got the preview email over the weekend while we [...]

Cuzamil Restaurante Mexicano
I really love Mexican food, so it’s not too often that I will leave a Mexican restaurant and complain that the food was not good. I guess I should have checked out the Urbanspoon reviews beforehand, but I’d already purchased a Groupon for the place quite awhile go, so I was going to check the [...]

E2 Review
This review is courtesy of Nathan Petit from Good Eats Pittsburgh and reprinted with his permission. Last week I knew I wanted to go out to eat but couldn’t figure out where, I wrote down a list of restaurants and told my wife to choose. I said go online and look at the menus and [...]

Union Pig and Chicken
On Tuesday night, two friends and I visited Pittsburgh’s latest BBQ joint – Union Pig and Chicken in East Liberty. When I think of BBQ I think of pigs, chickens, picnic tables, lots of messy sauces, reasonably priced grub, and cheap beer. I think the Union got about half of the formula right. The place [...]
