Vicarious

I've only been to Pearl once and was unimpressed. I'm not sure it's return-worthy, much less anniversary-worthy.

My favorite thing about baking with convection ovens is that the temperature is even throughout, so I can bake on two or three racks at once without rotating pans.

Here's a link to a news story about the PLCB: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_555493.html. It appears that they are cleaning out inventory in anticipation of a revamped program in April.

A few years ago I ordered a large quantity of whitefish salad from Hymies. If I recall correctly, the container said Marshalls (which, IMO, is better than Acme).

I hate to have my first post start with a lukewarm recommendation (I am a long-time lurker), but the patio at Coyote Crossing in Conshohocken is a great setting. I can't, however, vouch for the food. Although we have had many pleasant meals there over the years, last time we were there (last fall?), the food was so bad we have not returned. Another Main Line place where we enjoyed dining outdoors last summer (other than 333 Belrose in Radnor, which someone else already mentioned) was on the deck at Nectar, in Berywyn. A final thought--I believe that Pond, in Radnor, may serve outdoors in good weather. I haven't checked it out, but that's a lovely spot.
