The Week in Review

     This past week was nuts!! I think I had meetings everyday after work for various things which didn't leave me much time to sit down and blog, but I wanted to share some of what I have been up to this week.

On Monday my friend ALV invited LES, ATK, and I to a Pens game which is always a great time. In my opinion going to a hockey game with all girls is always the perfect combination of sports and gossip. 

This past weekend we had our friends BHB and JLM in town from NJ.  It was BHB's 30th birthday so we were excited to celebrate with them. 

BHB loves to try unique foods so we took them to Cure in Lawrenceville for his birthday dinner.  Cure's menu was incredible and offered a ton of cured and unique cuts of meat.
 

For an appetizer we tried the Salumi plate which contained pigs head, duck speck, venison salami and a variety of other cured meats. I felt like I was on Bizarre Foods with the crazy things we tried.   For dinner DFH and I split the venison and lobster gnocchi and the Cassoulet which was a stew that contained venison sausage, pigs cheek, pork belly, and duck confit. 

 

 For drinks JLM and I tried the blood orange black currant champagne  which was delicious! I could have drank 10 of them. 



We ended the night at Industry to continue BHB's birthday celebration after dinner.

This may or may not have been the play list for our late night dance party. 

The rest of the weekend was spent eating drinking and shopping and showing off our city.  I love having friends in town and showing them the great city of Pittsburgh even in the cold.
