Greetings from Pittsburgh, Part Deux
One of the groovy things about my job is that I get to travel. Often, if a case I’m working on is heating up (or on fire), I get to travel to the same place a lot. That would explain why I am in Pittsburgh for the third time in two weeks. Fortunately, Charity and the blossoms decided to accompany me on this little junket so it’s good times all around.
Food note- We had dinner last night at Six Penn Kitchen which is downtown across the river from PNC Park and adjacent to Heinz Hall. The food, in a word, was incredible. They feature organic and locally grown food. We started with appetizers of wings (which had a wonderful charcoal grill taste) sea scallops and Charity had the tortilla soup. For dinner, Charity had a deconstructed rotisserie chicken and biscuits and I had pork shank with sauerkraut bacon mashed potatoes. Neither meat dish required a knife as they were so tender. Michael had a very good grilled cheese sandwich and Gabrielle had the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted. Let’s just say we don’t use Gruyere and Fontina cheese in our mac and cheese at home. For dessert (Oh yes we did) Charity and I spilt a burnt almond vanilla torte and the blossoms went with the white chocolate Oreo pie. Good Times!
We are again staying at the Marriott City Center which is a great place. Traffic was a little goofy last night because the Penguins were home was night and the arena is across the street. This morning, I am finishing up a couple of projects before heading out to meet with the family I’m working with on this challenging case (can’t be all play and no work). Every else in the room is snoring as I write this (at about 6:30 AM). If I get done in time, we’re going to take the kids to the Pittsburgh Zoo before coming home.
Yep, most days I really love my job.
