Number 6 on my top 10 favourite photos of 2025. I have photographed a lot of elk but this one stands out. I’m always looking for that visible vapour oof the breath in the cool mornings and to get it against a dark background with the bull facing the camera it was perfect! #wildlife #elk #bullelk

Every Christmas me, my mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law have a gingerbread contest with the theme chosen by the winner from the year before. This year's theme is Pittsburgh landmarks so I made the Three Sisters bridges

so you cook a bunch of rutabaga & an outrageous amount of thyme in an equally outrageous amount of butter for ~1 hour, toss with a bunch of parm, stuff it all in some bell peppers & top with an egregious amount of chevre. I made this a couple months ago but can you blame me for wanting it again?

Pittsburgh council votes for 20% property tax hike
A divided council voted for the steep hike to fully fund vehicle purchases, worker overtime and utility bills, which members said were shorted in Mayor Ed Gainey’s 2026 budget.
