After last season’s success with this food blog, I decided to give it a go once again. Stylish and Hungry is back and better than ever for season two. I’ll review all kinds of restaurants from steakhouses to the family restaurants as well as the best spot for brunch. I’m hoping to try out the Kitchen on Main very soon. I also want to review Kings as it is a dying breed in our area and was once thriving. Plus I have history there having been a former employee.

Longhorn Steakhouse has been at its location in front of Westmoreland Mall since the early 2010s (tentatively speaking) and like Texas Roadhouse, is a great place to go if you’re craving a good steak (or other comfort food if you’re not digging a sirloin or rib-eye). Longhorn is owned by Darden, the same company which also owns The Olive Garden and formerly, Red Lobster. Look for my reviews on those places at a future date.

I arrived at the restaurant around 5:30 and was promptly seated by the hostess. The server didn’t waste any time taking my order (it also helped that I knew what I wanted). Maura had eaten at Longhorn before and she suggested the Garlic Parmesan Chicken. That is what I ordered along with a baked potato with the works. For my drink I ordered a seasonal Sam Adams Boston Lager. I was definitely feeling full after my meal.

My experience was memorable and I will definitely be back at some point (probably in the Fall or before Christmas). I’ll definitely be ordering a steak so I can compare Longhorn vs. Texas Roadhouse to see whose is better.

The music wasn’t too loud and the atmosphere was just right. At 5:30-6 it was the height of the dinner rush so there was definitely a crowd but not too hectic. Just lots of people out and about having a good time on a Wednesday night. Having the mall close by and being off a major road (US 30) really helps bring business in too.

My server took good care of me and the manager also came to my table as well to make sure I was happy with my chicken.

Grade: A+ (for excellent service and hospitality, as well as the food).

The restaurant also has a managing partner. Here’s some in depth information on what a restaurant managing partner does.

A restaurant managing partner works on restaurant operations while also handling budgeting and planning tasks. A managing partner has a partial stake in the restaurant. Their duties include reporting performance and financial figures to corporate ownership or silent partners and implementing their strategies and improvement plans in the restaurant. They also handle day-to-day tasks such as hiring and training employees, negotiating with vendors and suppliers, and ensuring customer satisfaction.

A manager usually delegates responsibilities to the restaurant’s assistant management team. They may sometimes have other duties that involve market research, promotion, and public relations.

First Stylish and Hungry 2022 post is in the books. My next restaurant review will take me out to breakfast. I’m thinking either Kings or Eat’n Park. Down the road, I will be trying South Greensburg restaurant (my second time there) as well as Keystone Kitchen in New Alexandria. Plenty of places to eat, drink, and be merry

Are my blogging days over?

Am I abandoning my gender nonconformity?

If you follow my blog, you’re probably wondering where my content has been lately. You’re expecting that Stylish and Hungry post that inspires you to eat a meal at the restaurant or enjoy an iced coffee at the coffeehouse that I review. You’re asking yourself, “Did James stop blogging?” or “Is James all right?”

2021 provided you with great content and some great memories to take away from last year. 2022 has not been quite as exciting. You can attribute that to my new job and the crazy hours, the higher prices (including $5/gallon for gas), and I’m just not feeling confident to show myself because some have told me my gender nonconformity is setting me up to get teased and ridiculed.

Last night, I got dressed up for my monthly dinner with Mr. Clougherty and felt good. So far I’ve been taking baby steps. I’m still afraid because of what might happen but really, it’s not that bad when I go out in public with a bag or when I rock a blazer. Seriously, who cares if people look at me weird? I’m more afraid of the speculation than what might actually happen. It’s like my friends and family tell me, “BE YOU”.

Is the blog going away?

While I’m hard up for content right now and sitting on 60 posts, I’m still in this for the long haul. I’m slowly breaking out of my shell and getting out of my comfort zone. I still have plans to do my Stylish and Hungry restaurant reviews. I just haven’t scheduled them yet as I was unsure when I would be available. I do have some places in mind and a few are in Ligonier.

Did I abandon my gender nonconformity?

In addition to what was said earlier about it, it really wasn’t because my folks didn’t support it, but because I was thinking about going back to church. It would have been for the best to drop it because I wanted a fresh start. But would I have been really happy not being myself? The answer to that is most likely a big fat NO.

That all being said, expect some great content coming soon. I have a Stylish and Hungry blog post on the way. I’m looking at next week. Here’s some of the places I plan on reviewing.

The Kitchen on Main (Ligonier)

The Wicked Googly (Ligonier)

Ruthie’s Diner (Ligonier)

French Express (Latrobe)

Stanton Daily Grind (New Stanton)

South Greensburg Restaurant (Greensburg)

I also plan on reviewing some chain restaurants as well. Kings, sadly, is a dying breed and it used to really thrive in the Pittsburgh area, so I plan on given them a review and, doing some return reviews as well. I also plan on doing a Pumpkin Spice tour once again this year fall beginning in late September. More on that coming soon.

Stylish is back, for good, and I assure you there will be great content. Stay tuned.

Our District Historian is hard at work once again on this wonderful look back at what our District used to be like. We look back at 1957 for this week’s Throwback Thursday.

The District reached 40 clubs and counting by 1952, but it took some time for the next club to charter. That would in March 1957 when the Coraopolis club was founded. They would meet Mondays at 8PM at the Coraopolis YMCA.

TLI makeup training will be held next Saturday at 9AM, as well as July 18 in the evening, and also on July 30 in the morning. Plenty of time to register so you attend training and get credit for your club. Attending club officer training will fulfill #9 on the Distinguished Club Program.

Next week, Cranberry Township will be hosting its annual Cranberry Community Days! Several Toastmasters clubs from the surrounding area will be present to share the Toastmasters mission and potentially gain some new members. Both Cranberry High Noon and Cranberry Area clubs plan to be in attendance.

Cranberry Community Days will be held next Thursday, July 14, through Saturday, July 16, at Cranberry Community Park, located at 111 Ernie Mashuda Dr., Cranberry Township, PA 16066. Hours of operation will be Thursday from 4-10PM, Friday from 4-11PM, and Saturday from 1-11PM. Cranberry Community Days is a big draw for the area with over 32,000 in attendance, providing enjoyment for children of all ages, adults and senior citizens. Enjoy FREE Parking, FREE Admission and over 200 VENDORS!

Something to think about as Toastmasters when discussing the Distinguished Club Program. Look at the first six goals, your educational goals. It’s beneficial to us and to the club when do our speech projects and achieve educational awards. Every goal we achieve is a goal for club towards Distinguished Status.

It’s important to talk up Toastmasters with your colleagues, friends and family. The guest whom you bring to your meeting could be the member that the club needs to fulfill their membership goals, and become eligible for the DCP. If Penn Hills could go from Extinguished to Distinguished, there’s no reason your club can’t grow its base either. The sky’s the limit! Pay it forward. New members bring new prospectives and add value to a club.

We just had club officer training a few weeks ago and plenty of opportunity to attend makeup training for you to get credit towards that ninth requirement. Why should you give up part of a Saturday to attend TLI? Because it’s one of the best ways you can come into the new Toastmaster year confident in mastering your role as club officer. Plus you get to learn from those who have done the role before. Trained officers are better equipped to support their members.

Get your slate of officers set early and get that list sent to World Headquarters. Not only does it look good but it shows effective communication among the officers and that has a positive effect on the club. Get the word out about dues being due and get it done early and often. If you have to send mass emails to get your minimum of eight members do it!

Remember, it’s all about the member and the exceptional service that you provide them.

What’s coming to the blog this July? Well if you look at the title, I’m back to doing restaurant reviews under Stylish and Hungry. Get ready for Season Two. I plan to get out to Ligonier this month as well as August or September. I want to review Wicked Googly as well as the Kitchen on Main. I wanted to go to the latter last year but staffing issues kept the place closed. The Murrysville location did remain open however. They’re going to get a review as well so I can compare and contrast. I’ll do a few chains but mostly keep it to independent restaurants. Look for two reviews a month. If I’m feeling lucky, I’ll do a third.

I’ll highlight my upcoming shopping adventures. Since I’ve been at Giant Eagle, I haven’t done too many Target runs. That will change as I just got a gift card for my birthday from Annabelle. I’m going to spend that $25 gift card on something nice. I’m thinking of a sweater or some jewelry. Maybe my JCPENNEY card (from Aunt Sue) will go towards some nice Sephora or more amazing fashionwear or accessories. The possibilities are endless. I also plan to shop Old Navy with my new card as I might buy a jumpsuit or something else slay worthy. I also got an Amazon gift card from my parents and might put that towards a book.

I’ll continue to keep you up to date on all things going on in District 13 Toastmasters. With the new year starting, I’ll take a look at the Distinguished Club Program as well as the Moments of Truth. I’m planning a Cranberry High Noon visit this summer (timetable will be late July to mid August) as well later this Fall before Christmas. Our District Historian Dana Mitnik takes us back to yesteryear and I’ll be including his weekly pieces in my Toast blog posts.

Something special in the works at Stylish 🍒. I haven’t come up with a working title quite yet. This would be a weekly series and it will be ongoing. I would like to post an episode (or blogisode) every Friday. Work should begin later this month or into August. It’s half fiction and half real life, based off of me and my gender nonconformity journey. I think my cousins, my family, and those who support me (friends and colleagues) in these adventures will really love it. There will be fashion, food, fitness, and of course, lots of fun and Target runs.

Lots of great content coming as we close in on 400 blog posts.

Bye everyone. ❤️ you.

Target Gift Card: $25

New Nintendo Switch game: $60

The perfect birthday outfit: $40

Getting words of encouragement from your wonderful cousin: Priceless

This birthday weekend didn’t quite match up to last year’s fun, but 40 only comes around once in a lifetime. I’ll get back to Jean Bonnet this fall or close to the holidays, maybe both. I will use that gift card to Aristacuts soon, I promise. This birthday and this Fourth of July trip to the Gaffron farm was special because I got to see my Chicago family. I also received a priceless gift from my cousin, and we cried wonderful tears. Emily’s husband gave us both a tissue to dry our eyes and wipe away the happy tears. Emily and I are both active on social media, and her words of encouragement are just amazing.

What is it about girls named Emily and Sara who are always calling me an inspiration or who are one themselves?

Katie, Matt, and Annabelle gave me a gift card for Target. I’ll spend that on an outfit or some jewelry. What I really want for my birthday is t know that I’m accepted and loved. I was about to receive that gift from my Chicago cousin.

Last year was special because I was turning 40 and because if the hype leading up to the big day. Getting to celebrate at Jean Bonnet Tavern as well as the Olive Garden meant the world to me. Bedford has the look and feel of a Hallmark town, just like Ligonier, Indiana, and Canonsburg.

In between my birthdays, I was having doubts about my gender nonconformity. I was gaining more confidence but my family was having doubts about it. I also quit attending church last fall because I needed a break. I’m fine right now with keeping it that way. I almost abandoned my gender nonconformity completely because I wasn’t feeling encouraged nor was I hearing it from anyone. I almost went back to church and felt like I’d have to drop my uniqueness because it wouldn’t look good. I walked away from that decision though and I feel better for it.

I sat at the picnic table with family and across from me was Emily. She listened as I broke down to her about my gender nonconformity and told me how beautiful I was and how inspiring I am to people who are going through the same thing. She told me how loved I am and then the rest of my family stood with me. She also encouraged me to rock that nice outfit that I’ve been afraid to show off. I even told her about the pink cherry dress and my ULTA Beauty Box that Rob and Sara got me for Christmas.

Just like everyone else has said to me, “Be You”. I plan to take those words to heart and will be nothing less than I am.

Sometimes the perfect gift is one that money can’t buy.

Bye everyone. ❤️ you.

If you missed last Saturday’s Toastmasters Leadership Institute, remember there are three opportunities to attend makeup training. You’ll get credit for attending and that will go towards #9 on the Distinguished Club Program. Training will be held on Saturday, July 16; Monday, July 18; and Saturday, July 30. Go to d13tm.com to learn more.

This past weekend’s club officer training was a big deal, as it was the first in person training event since December 2019. We all know what happened just a few months later. Overall it was a success. The theme was summery and made me long for the beach. I covered the event in a previous blog. You can learn more about it in the link I posted below.

Riding the W. A. V. E.

Tuesday, the Toastmasters club that made history in 2021 wrapped up its first year with a transition of officers and a mini-SPEECHCRAFT type meeting. Four of our members gave speeches (myself included) and we celebrated at the end of the meeting with a cake. We also gave our founding club president Sharon a card and a bouquet of flowers. We also had Cameron from the Earlybirds club visit. Here’s the link to how Tuesday’s meeting went and the link to my speech I gave, in the description below.

On May 14th, 15 Earlybirds and guests gathered to celebrate the club’s 65th anniversary with an Open House meeting and breakfast. The club was chartered by 23 members on March 1, 1957. District Director Stephanie Scott and District 13 Club Growth Director Adir Kurtanich were on hand to congratulate the members. John Trotta was honored for 40 consecutive years of membership in the club. The Butler Eagle published an online story about the celebration. In addition, they also included full page articles in their print editions in both the Butler and Cranberry Eagle that week. You can find the link in the description listed below. To read the full article, you will need a subscription to the Butler Eagle.

I’ll close these Toastmasters News and Notes blogs with the District Mission and Club Mission

DISTRICT MISSION:

We build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence.

CLUB MISSION:

We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.

The Toastmasters club that made history in 2021 wraps up its first year on Thursday, and it plans to make more history in the upcoming Toastmasters year.

This last meeting was different than the rest as it was all speeches and no table topics. I was scheduled to be Table Topics master but will serve that role on July 12, our first meeting of the new year. All of our speakers did great (myself included) and the meeting flowed smoothly. But the purpose of this blog post is to look back on the past year and celebrate everything that’s happened and what’s to come on July 1.

Laurel Highlands Toastmasters chartered in just two weeks at the Connellsville Canteen. They had lots of support from the Fayette County Cultural Trust and the Rotary Club of Connellsville. They chartered on June 30 last year, so happy birthday Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!!! We share a birthday.

Laurel Highlands is the first Hybrid Club registered at Toastmasters International. That means they are an in person and virtual. If you live in Louisiana and want to attend remotely then you have the opportunity.

I was honored to meet club president Sharon Joseph for the first time at our DTM gala event held at Westmoreland County Community College last summer. I learned about the new club and met some of the faces who were behind the formation of the club. All had a hand in bringing a Toastmasters club to Fayette County for the first time in 40 years.

Laurel Highlands Toastmasters produced a Red Carpet Officer Induction Ceremony. This right here was a fun event and I was very pleased to attend and celebrate the newest club in District 13. There were many great keynote speakers like our District Historian Dana Mitnik, District Director Bob Johnson, and International Director Melissa McGavick. This was a magical night for the club, for our district, and for the city of Connellsville.

The Laurel Highlands chapter has the most newspaper articles in one year out of any club in District 13. VPPR Judy Eans is doing a great job getting the word out about the club. We’ve also had several guest speakers who aren’t Toastmasters.

At Tuesday night’s meeting Sharon did a year in review of all of our themes as well as some of the most memorable experiences. The Red Carpet Event is definitely up there and the best event so far in the Toastmaster year.

I joined Laurel Highlands in February, submitting my application upon the finish of the Area 23/24 contest. We also gained five more new members in the Toastmaster year. Those members all received their new member certificates or will at the next meeting. In addition to being the first club in Fayette County in 40 years, we’ve also added members from Cumberland, MD, as well as Morgantown, WV.

As officers we all received new pins which show the role we have in the club. Sharon pinned Ryan with his club president pin. Dana was recognized for his role as the Club Mentor. Sharon received a bouquet of flowers and a certificate of appreciation for serving as the first club president of the Laurel Highlands Toastmasters club.

Sharon closed the meeting by handing the gavel over to Ryan and he adjourned the meeting at 7:20pm. We all socialized after the meeting and had cake to celebrate our first year as Laurel Highlands Toastmasters.

Pictures from Tuesday’s meeting and the transition of leaders coming tomorrow.

Saturday’s first in person TLI since December 2019 was one event I was taking advantage of attending. Overall it was a great experience and it was nice to see everyone again. A few of us met up in July in the same venue for the DTM gala when those of us who couldn’t run the gauntlet due to the COVID 19 pandemic were able to do so. However there were no fire alarms to interrupt us this time.

As we walked in the door to register, we got our program and were provided with leis. The theme for this summer TLI was “Riding the W. A. V. E. “. I must have missed the memo when I saw other attendees decked out in their Hawaiian prints. No problem though, as I have my own style and was representing the Rock with my Slippery Rock windbreaker and my red top underneath

Breakfast consisted of pastries as well as coffee and tea. WCCC always provides well for us when we hold our club officer trainings there. We recognized our dignataries including our soon to be past district director Bob Johnson. With these last three years serving in the District Trio plus one year serving as Division Director, its been a marvelous four year run for Bob.

Our program had its usual club officer sessions as well as another session which was led by both Sharon Joseph (Laurel Highlands Toastmasters club president and incoming Vice President Education) and Catherine McCarron (incoming Division D Director). They both took turns at leading the sessions. One was Club Officer Tools and the other was Best Practices for Engaging Prospective Members.

Now let’s get into detail on what was behind the W. A. V. E.

W-Wow: Creating Club Quality (led by past Division A Director and incoming Club Growth Director Dr Marci Antion)

A-Achieve: Leading the Team to Success (led by past District 18 Director Dr. Elizabeth Carter)

V-Value: Moments of Truth (led by TLI chair and incoming Area 34 Director Lorie Regas)

E-Engage: Building on Achievement (led by current and soon to be Immediate Past District Director Bob Johnson)

Here’s some takeaways from those four sessions.

Wow: The importance of the club experience and what having members who are engaged and immersed in that experience can do for you. Also the values of Toastmasters. Those are Integrity, Respect, Service, and Excellence.

Achieve: You don’t want to set SMART goals, you want to set SMALL goals. Delegate or, Split up the work; Make this part of your development; Ask for help; Learn about your members; and, Leave it better than you found it. The people you asking for help and delegating the work to are your incoming replacements.

What does success look like to you?

Value: The importance of conducting the Moments of Truth annually. The best time to do this exercise is early in the Toastmasters year. Lorie talked about who handled certain parts of the MOT in her club. First impressions and membership strength responsibilities went to the Vice President Membership; Membership Orientation and Achievement Recognition were put on the Vice President Education; and, Fellowship, Variety, Communication and Program Planning was delegated to the Immediate Past President.

Engage: Bob asked the audience to discuss their best and worst customer experiences. One bad review can ruin a reputation you worked for years to build. We are responsible as the executives of these clubs to provide a sparkling club experience that will have our guests coming back and even inviting other guests who will in turn become prospective club members.

When we took our break, it was like our surfboard stretch. When we went to our sessions, we were surfing to them. I really liked the theme for this TLI a lot. Lunch consisted of picnic food (hamburgers, hot dogs, watermelon, potato salad, condiments including relsh, ketchup, and mustard). We chatted about what the best part of this club officer training was. I finally got to meet Adie Kurtanich (Club Growth Director incoming) and she complemented me on the blog and my fashion sense (my gender nonconformity and dressing non traditional is staying despite rumors of its demise; it’s brought me far too much success at this point for me to give it up now). I made plans with Bob for an upcoming Cranberry High Noon visit in July or August. I’ll also make a visit in December. I made plans to speak at Laurel Highlands for their last meeting of the year.

I’ll highlight my visit to Laurel Highlands in the next blog post later on this evening. Pictures will be posted as well.

This week has been one of comebacks. Saturday will mark my first in person Toastmasters club officer training since December 2019. I’m going back to church (online) but for now just visiting. Gender nonconformity has come back (it never really went anywhere… just put on the back burner because I felt like I wasn’t getting encouragement).

Also returning in this summer of comebacks… weather updates. This hobby started in the fall of 2009 when I was at a cross roads on what to do with my life. I kept it up through the early 2010s and then walked away from it before coming back.

I almost went back to school in 2008 and 2011 for meteorology (with a minor in communication studies). I didn’t really need another college degree, but a get out of jail free card. I hated working at Kings (because I listened to everyone else around me) so I wanted to find a way out. Eventually I applied for a job at WIS International but my passion for the weather lived on.

From graduation until 2018, I was stuck in the past. Homecoming was less about catching up and more about living for the good old days. Driving up to Johnstown was more reminiscing about the days of living at HGA and the memories I made there. I was still doing well, but I missed how great those days were to me.

Since I retired the homecoming tradition after October 2018, I felt like I was in a really good place. I wrapped up everything I needed to achieve my Distinguished Toastmaster award, started my blog in late 2019, and began to really find myself. Of course those who follow my blog knew I had some inspiration there, and I’ve come a long way in the last few years.

Hoping for a great forecast to give you this first full week of summer and for Saturday’s club officer training.

My Spring of Discontent has finally come to an end.

It was a lost season that didn’t include much content on the Stylish blog. I also questioned whether or not I should continue with my gender nonconformity journey as I’ve started to embark on my church tour. I nearly abandoned it so I would be on good terms if I was making an in person church visit.

It’s safe to say that I still need time to find the right one; also, my gender nonconformity journey is getting back up and running again. “Boo”, say the critics. Now maybe I can make the most of Rob and Sara’s Christmas gifts without looking over my shoulder at the naysayers and instead thinking of those who have encouraged me to make it this far.

Those who don’t like it are jealous because no one can slay as hard as me.

Rae and I came up with a thread on Facebook titled “At the Corner of Sigh and Slay”. Rae is famous for her sigh worthy posts which get a rise out of her mother. I’m famous for my slay worthy fashion which makes them all smile.

My church tour will resume on July 9, after the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 🎇 holiday. I’ve attended Allegheny Center Alliance Church and Victory Family Church online. Both churches I’ve been pleased with but the best I can do is attend online. I made a few trips to Community Church in Harrison City and I’ll do so again. I also plan on checking out Greater Johnstown Christian Fellowship (online) and watch the sermons on their YouTube channel.

This Saturday will mark my first in person Toastmasters club officer training event since December of 2019. It will be a hybrid event (just like our clubs since last summer as well as our past Spring Conference). For those who still don’t know, hybrid means that the event will be both in person and online.

For me it’ll be worth it to meet with other club officers who will be attending in person. I didn’t attend last winter’s club officer training due to work commitments as I had just begun my employment with Giant Eagle. The last few trainings that were online have gone very well. The best one being that December 2020 training where I was part of the Spirit of Toastmasters panel discussion.

This morning I was looking up towns in Pennsylvania and Maryland that would make the perfect Hallmark Christmas town. You know my little Stars Hollow makes the list, as well as Jimmy Stewart’s hometown of Indiana, PA. I might have something fun planned for later this year (I’ll have a paid vacation upon my one year at Giant Eagle which will be this November). I’ll discuss my upcoming plans in Friday night’s blog post.

I’m not wishing away summer and longing for Fall but, today’s cooler temperatures make me want a pumpkin spice latte really bad. There will more time for Fall and all the great things about it once September gets here.

For now, I’m looking forward to being me once again and hopefully inspiring my followers to be themselves again too. I want to give you guys great content and make it to 400 blog posts later this summer (my goal is to be at 450 by the end of 2022).

Bye everyone. ❤️ you.
