Roving Pittsburgher Report
TGI Friday's
We went to TGI Friday's in Robinson and for $10.00 per person (fixed price wars are on) you got an entree and either a dessert or an appetizer. We opted for Florentine, tomato flat bread, mozzarella sticks and potstickers, best potstickers ever! For entrees we had the Chicken Bruschetta Pasta, Fire Dragon Chicken and Jack Daniels Pulled Pork Sandwich. Couldn't believe we got this all for $30!
And there was so much food that my three year old granddaughter just ate off of everyone’s plates and we were all of symphony of the Alka Seltzer commercial, “I Can’t Believe I ate the Whole Thing!” But it was that good. Visit Friday's website here.
Costco
Got to tell you about the taste of Costco thing, they have got the “stuff.” You walk around and try all these amazing things prepared for you and then of course you have to buy them. I went for vitamins, toilet paper and laundry detergent and came home with chicken and cilantro mini wantons, dim sum, turkey chili and black bean salsa, all outstanding. Visit Costco's website here.
NAWBO Meeting
Attended the NAWBO meeting at Piatt Place on "Becoming A Certified Woman Business Owner." About a third of woman business owners attended as Ruth Byrd Smith explained the process and benefits to becoming a Certified WBO. Great information and great networking.
