Since Dee had yesterday off we decided to take advantage of it and go down town to the Strip District where we had lunch at Senseri's Pizza place although we didn't have pizza. Afterward we went to the Steeler Outlet stores and found a a nice wind breaker and sweater for future demonstrations of Steeler price.
I was able to get some specialty cheese (Malvarosa from Spain, sheep milk) at "Right By Nature." Also, the Holy Land of Cheeses, "The PA Macaroni Co." had a list of cheeses cthat overed the whole wall! I picked up some Morbier (FR) and Talleggio (IT). Yummm.
We headed home because we were to meet Kathy and Monica (she'd not seen our place and wanted to check it out) and then go to the Barista Competition. (Click photos to enlarge). We stayed there a while and I talked to a gal in the dessert area from Bar Louie. She was interested in our Barbershop Chorus for entertainment some Monday night or Sunday afternoon, a well as a Singing Valentine quartet for her husband while she's outa town.
We left there and went to the Friday Fondu at McGinnis Sisters. http://www.mcginnis-sisters.com/events.aspx It was a lot of fun. There were about 25 people there ceated around small tables with fondu pots on them and lots of veggies and bread chunks. Candace (see photos) told us the history of fondu and helped us make our own right there on the spot. The wine maker from Volant was also there with free wine. Yummm.
