Chris is off doing his dissertation field work/research for a bit. But before he left for South America we planned a lovely date to visit and enjoy the tasting menu with wine pairings at our favorite new restaurant, Salt of the Earth. It was our first Pittsburgh date since the wedding and our last date in the northern hemisphere. The tasting menu option is quite an experience. We were glad to sit with a view of the kitchen so we could watch the chef, Kevin Sousa run the kitchen and prepare our meal. The food and drinks were incredible and the atmosphere was romantic and fun. I wish we had taken photographs but we were so distracted by the scene that we didn't remember to do so.
If you live in the Pittsburgh area, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you visit this incredible restaurant. I have gone a few times now, with friends from out of town, and with friends from in town. Every visit had flawless service and delicious, exciting food and drinks. Their menu and preparations are unlike anything the Pittsburgh food scene has seen before. And the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and care they put into their food. Vegetarians also have an array of incredible, delicious options that are thoughtful and deliberate, rather than the typical veggie option afterthought most places offer. Don't skip the cocktails! I recommend the rye or the gin. They change their offerings regularly but the level of care and intellect that go into developing balanced and delicious drinks is consistent.
I wore a dress I thought I was going to forgo, even on sale: the Sugar and Cream teacup print dress. I almost let this one pass me by but after trying it on for a third time, I decided it would make a good date dress. I love the muted purple-ish gray color of the background and the ridiculous teacup motif.
BTW, HUGE sale day at Anthropologie! Check out the comprehensive list on Roxy's blog. Anyone grab anything yet? I think I got my hands on a Babergh Dress. When I returned to my local store to buy it, it was gone and sold out on the website. But with a 50% markdown it seemed worth a hunt.
