SANTARCHY!

December 10, 2005 Natalia 4 Comments

So. Before you go you go curling or see Mamaspell this Saturday, Dec. 10, you need to check out the first annual Pittsburgh SANTARCHY. This Santastic event has been held everywhere from Tokyo to San Francisco. The evidence at left is from McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Good Lord, I never thought I’d see the day where Pittsburgh was playing catch-up to Antarctica on a cultural trend. But anyway. We got it, finally. From the organizer’s post at craigslist: What is it? Santarchy is a nonpolitical, non-religious, not-for-profit (i.e. free), demented Santa Claus convention — a mass gathering of Santa Clauses… Read the rest

Loova

December 8, 2005 Natalia 9 Comments

In college, I studied abroad in London. And I spent too much money I didn’t have. Too much of this money was spent on soap. Yes, soap. You see, in London, there is a wonderful boutique chain called Lush. Lush specializes in fresh, hand-made, all natural, super-good smelling soap and beauty products. Their products are ridiculously expensive, yet addictive. Thanks to Lush, I returned to Pittsburgh a soap addict. But Bath and Body Works did not fulfill my needs. The Body Shop was too far away. I wanted my soap and beauty products with expiration dates. I wanted to see… Read the rest

Sandwiches at Il Padrino

November 13, 2005 psumerv 1 Comment

I absolutely had to add a post regarding my Brookline neighborhood. I love that it still has a city neighborhood feel to it. People that grew up there still know each other and their families. It’s great! Adding to its uniqueness is a fabulous new eatery, Il Padrino. On Brookline Blvd., there are many pizza places, drug stores, bars, that you can find a quick snack. None of them come close to Il Padrino. This deli has more sandwiches than you can imagine. Gyro? Yes. Cheesesteak (with real steak)? Yes. Chicken Wrap? Yes. Club sandwich? Yes. Anything! Chalkboards full of… Read the rest

Pierogi Madness

November 8, 2005 Natalia 7 Comments

Compact, tasty, and filling, pierogies are perfect food for a Polish girl on the go. That’s why they’re my FAVORITE! While I prefer making them at home, I do occasionally have to buy them. For out-of-towners who have stumbled upon this page: pie·ro·gi also pi·ro·gi n. : A semicircular dumpling with any of various fillings, such as finely chopped meat or vegetables, that is often sautéed after being boiled. There are a couple of places I like to buy them in bulk in the ‘burgh: First up is Pierogies Plus owned by Helen Mannarino, located in a former gas station… Read the rest

Wild Turkeys

October 16, 2005 Natalia 1 Comment

Some days on my way to school, I am lucky enough to see a bunch of turkeys bopping around on the side of the road. They are very cute and make me smile. Take that, Manhattan! I was curious as to what a “flock” of turkeys is called, and so I found this handy dandy website: “Benjamin Franklin wanted wild turkeys to be our national symbol instead of the bald eagle. He felt that the stately, majestic qualities of the wild turkey would make it a fine symbol for the new country. “Most people are familiar with the term “flock… Read the rest
