What is there about the Strip?

June 5, 2012

Visiting the Strip District in Pittsburgh makes for a pleasant day trip from my abode.  These photos are from a recent trip.

We started at Wholey’s.  There we found fish, meat, produce, condiments and more. I loved the display of jam, jelly and honey in lovely glassware and I had to buy some.   The good luck brass pig was in the doorway on the way out (too bad he is out of focus.)

Traveled on to Wholey’s Kitchen store . . .

Then to Fortune’s coffee roasters.

Across the street is Pennsylvania Macaroni (and cheese, and bakery)  . . .

We enjoyed the street scenes . . .

Then wandered over to Station Square and caught a ride on the Monongahela Incline . . .

Here is a sign we saw on the way out . . .

What will I be baking?

February 22, 2012

Bacon, oatmeal and raisin cookies from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Seattle.

I really do make the Best Cookies You Have Ever Eaten – see post here, but I am thinking that maybe a little bacon would not hurt.  Thanks to Breda for this reference.
