Last night I arrived in Pittsburgh for a long-overdue visit with Mr. TR, and today I had the disconcerting experience of being treated like a tourist.
First, Mr. TR and I went by the insurance office to finalize our homeowners’ policy for the house we’ll be closing on next month. I had commented myself when we [...]

Travelogue: Excuse me, senor, but there’s a papa in my arroz

Dorothee Trois-Rivières. Motto: Trying out restaurants so you don’t have to.
We kept seeing signs advertising Emiliano’s in McIntyre Square in McCandless, and we figured that now was as good a time as any to be disappointed with Mexican food in Pittsburgh. That’s definitely one area in which Texas has us beat, and if you’re ever [...]

Just got my cholesterol test results today. Verdict: not too bad, you know, for a Pittsburgher. We have lots of reasons to fear those digits, not least of which is coming up right around the corner.

There’s a lot of special beer-related stuff in our drinking town with a football problem. But no place highlights the wonderful degree to which we recognize that beer is a religious experience than The Church Brew Works. It’s not enough to just drink beer in a church. We drink beer that was made in a [...]
Reasons you’re glad you live in Pittsburgh #3: Sir Pizza

Drool. Seriously, this place is so good. The classic Pittsburgh pizza awesomeness of places like Mineo’s and Beto’s aside, there is just no better place to go for a pie and a pitcher than this off-the-beaten-path North Hills pizza dive. Their little crumbled pepperoni is like crack, they make the best white pizza I have [...]
