Wednesday night I took in a pre-Toastmasters meal in downtown Greensburg. That way I could be close to the Courthouse and I needed a change from the mall food. What better place to go than Oliver’s Pourhouse? I’m no stranger to eating here. They have great food and they’re nestled in the heart of downtown.Continue reading “James The Food Slayer—Oliver’s Pourhouse”

I was inspired after watching last Friday’s episode of Pittsburgh Today Live and seeing all the custom made creations that the hosts made. I knew I had to get down there at some point and try my hand at creating a waffle. This morning, I did just that and treated myself to brunch at Waffles,Continue reading “James the Food Slayer: Waffles 🧇 🍳 INCaffeinated”

Representatives for the contest were from Bettis, Moon, South Hills, and Pittsburgh.

There’s been a lack of quality content on the blog this month and for that I’m sorry. I’ve been either busy (going to the gym or working) or haven’t been up to providing content due to mental health issues. March is a weird time of the year. We’re just two years removed from my healthContinue reading “Coming Soon: Toastmasters Tuesday”

Over the last month, I finally began to take advantage of my gym membership and start going to Planet Fitness regularly. It’s been three weeks and I’ve seen a change in my exercise routine, as I’ve gone from mostly sedentary to a more active lifestyle. I told myself in 2023 that I wanted to workContinue reading “Finding Balance”
