The 'Burgh

This weekend I was in Pittsburgh for Robbie's birthday. It was tons o' fun.

We got to eat some greeeat food. Every time we are in the 'burgh, his parents take us out to dinner somewhere good. This time we went to a wing place - Quaker Steak & Lube (I had the Lubenade - alcoholic lemonade) and we went to a great steak place - The Winchester Room (yes, we all went for the surf & turf... mmmm)

Then we had a Luciano's white pizza, a McKeesport/White Oak staple. Every time I go to the Burgh, I have to have Luci's or I think I might die. It is the best pizza of all time.

Friday night, I got to watch Robbie play hockey with his old buddies. This guy who owns all kinds of car dealerships in town organizes pick-up hockey games and pretty much everyone Robbie knows plays every week or so.
It was awesome to watch Rob play. He's really good. Both on offense and defense. I even got to say, "Kick save and a beauty!" I was cheering him on like a good girl, but he made sure to tell me not to embarrass him in front of the guys (which I am prone to do).

We also stocked up on beef jerky, another of my Pittsburgh rituals. I used to think beef jerky was rather disgusting, but Robbie's got me hooked. There are endless options of places to get it in Robbie's area, but we usually go to Lampert's Market and buy a pound or two.

Good Good times.
