Another Great Restaurant

Atria's on Freeport Rd. in Fox Chapel, Pittsburgh PA.

I have been there three times now and have come away very happy each time. In particular, if you go there, you must have the crab bisque. Ignore the price, it's worth every penny. Then pick anything on the menu you think you may like, you'll love it. Last night, for my birthday dinner, I had the Bourbon Glazed Pot Roast. Best pot roast I have ever eaten. My girlfriend had the Tempura Shrimp with the Island Rice (kind of a rice pilaff with a Carribean flair). Deliscious!

Good prices, fair portions and a classy atmosphere await you when you go there. If you let them sign you up to receive their email promotions they won't bombard you with a lot of junk, and you'll get a coupon via email for a buy one/get one free entree for your birthday. I'll take a $14.00 coupon for a meal at Atria's any day. (Specially when I'm willing to pay full price anyway. It's that good.)

It's called,

No, they did not pay me for this. I volunteered. Like I said in an earlier posting, if I find something I like, I'll tell you about it. Try it, you gonna like it.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. With that in mind, Happy Holidays to everyone. I find nothing wrong with wishing someone in passing a, 'Happy Holiday', it covers the entire season for everyone in two happy words. I will do that often, but never to the exclusion or omission or removal of Christmas or Hannukkah.

I am a Christian. I am not a holy roller. I have a new found faith, and I am trying to grow in that faith, but I don't think I am technically, "born again". Maybe I am, but you won't hear me say it. Not all Christians find the need to be "born again". I think that once you call yourself 'born again', you slap a label on yourself. I don't need anymore labels. God and Me... we have an understanding.

Now, for those of you who would prefer the 'holiday of the winter solstice', or 'the sparkle season', as the City of Pittsburgh has tried to shove down our throats, you can kiss my ass. Over 80% of Americans prefer Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, so the tiny percentage of you who want to remove the holiday from the holiday, remember this. The very word holiday means "Holy Day". So the next time you refer to your winter holiday, you are admiting to the holiness of the day. Is that enough to make your heads hurt?

So... you small minded, majority hating, misguided little peckerwoods can just get out of the way and let the rest of us celebrate our holy days as we see fit. In other words, sit down and shut the hell up. You are irrelevent.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all.
