Today was the second day of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. I love Thanksgiving leftovers. Being in Pittsburgh has been fun. The landscape is just so different for us. And it has been snowing on and off but not sticking. The joint effect of beautiful hilly landscape and drifting snow flakes is very much like being dropped into a pretty snowglobe. On top of getting the snowglobe effect, we got to see family that we don't get to visit with that often and we actually had a pretty good time doing it.
Today, we got to do some shopping - not too early but with a dignified 10 AM start time. It's fun to go to different shopping malls from the ones at home - even if a lot of the stores are the same. The Christmas trees in the center of the mall we went to today were lavender. I can't help but like a mall with a centerpiece of strange pastel trees.
The big treat was going to Primanti Brothers and having one of their famous sandwiches. The sandwiches have everything on them - including coldslaw and french fries. Wow - a sandwich has never been so much fun!
That sandwich looks delicious! I love Thanksgiving left overs too!

That sandwich is fantastic. My friend Stan forced one on me when I visited him in Pittsburgh. I thought I was going to dislike it but I could have easily eaten six or seven of them in one sitting, and a human baby.

what kind of sandwich did you eat? I had roast beef and cheddar. I hope you had two.

I had sweet italian sausage and it was sweet indeed. One sandwich was enough. My husband assured me that I would be better off sharing one but I ignored him and was able to eat the whole sandwich by myself despite his dire warnings. I think he just wanted half.

That's not a sandwich! I don't know quite what it is (maybe a huge dinner-in-bread thingie) but it is way too much to be called just a humble sandwich.

It is indeed a good sandwich. I remember that glorious day, when I met my beloved Spritopias for a tryst at Primanti Bros. It was 90+ degrees out, hot, he was late... and showed up wearing an Argyle sweater. He enjoyed his sandwich.
