(Cruising by the light-and-snow-covered BISCUIT WORLD in Summerville, West Virginia, on our way up to Pittsburgh)
Missy and I just got back last night from a week's worth of vacation hanging out with her family up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I pretty much spent the last two months of 2010 sick, and most of my time in Pittsburgh was spent getting over my latest cold. We mostly stayed in, watching movies, playing video games, and eating homemade meals. Every now and then we got out of the house...like the afternoon we explored the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh with Missy's brother Joe and his friend Brandon...
SWEATS & THANGS...that's how they roll in East Liberty...
One day we headed into the city with Missy's brother's, Joe and Greg, and Greg's wife Cristina. We trekked to Pittsburgh's STRIP DISTRICT and stood in line for the privilege of eating at world famous DELUCA'S RESTAURANT, home of the "BEST BREAKFAST IN TOWN". Luckily, the wait wasn't as bad as we anticipated (though it was lunch time by the time we got in) and soon we were noshing on king-sized portions of grub...
I opted for a VEGGIE BURRITO with a side of ONION RINGS. The burrito had a slice of AMERICAN CHEESE on it! As I was taking a picture of it, Joe suggested I put a coin on it "for size"...not sure if the dime gives you an idea of how massive the burrito was, though...
Missy got this massive BANANA SPLIT CREPE and had no problem polishing it off...
No visit to Pittsburgh would be complete without going to at least one museum or gallery so we ended our day at The Strip with a visit to the awesome SOCIETY OF CONTEMPORARY CRAFT...
"Make Stuff, Not War"
SUSTAINABLE BICYCLES with frames made out of BAMBOO:
We saw a case full of PLUSH MEAT:
The highlight of the gallery was this ULTIMATE CHILL OUT ROOM covered from floor to ceiling with knit, crocheted, and plush details. We wondered how difficult it would be to create a room like this for ourselves...

GREAT PICS! Love all the contemp craft stuff.
That is the hugest burrito I've ever seen -- the dime was a great idea for scale, otherwise I'd have thought it was just normal size..
If you're ever in Pittsburgh visiting the many wonderful museums and galleries, definitely don't forget to put Society of Contemporary Craft on your list...free admission, too!
