...time to do the most important update of the year...

1. Anne Hathaway
2. Julie Bowen
3. Alyson Hannigan & Cobie Smulders
4. Alison Brie & Gillian Jacobs
5. Carly Foulkes

(for comparison, 2011)

After purchasing a new car (and getting out of the dealership at 8:30PM after 2 1/2 hours) we decided to eat upscale.

Turns out that PB's Happy Hour starts at 8PM...and is a mindblowingly good from a price / performance calculation. They have around 8 plates for $3, and large well drinks are $3...and a selection of about 10 other beverage types are also $3.

I will update the food list on the original "Pittsburgh Blue (Part 2)" page...so we remember what to order.

Now we just need to remember to go there more often.

Apple Pie Shots
------------------

1 gallon     apple cider
1/2 gallon   apple juice
5 cups       sugar
10-15        cinnamon sticks
1/2 liter    Everclear
1 can        Redi-whip

Combine the apple cider, apple juice, and the sugar. Heat and stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Add cinnamon sticks and cook the mixture. Once cool, add the alcohol. Top shots with redi-whip when ready.

We never made it to the original Heidi's before they burnt it to the ground...so...better notes this time.
