Reply to Is bbq chipped chopped ham a thing? My grandma says it is. Where in the city can I find this so I can satisfy ol’ grandma? by IMicrowaveSteak

Here's what you need to do to do this at a hotel. Find your nearest Giant Eagle or Shop'n'Save. If Kuhn's is closer, one, I'd be surprised, but two I'd go there. They just tend to have better prices imo. Locate the deli, ask for Isaly's chipped ham. It'll almost surely be pre-sliced in a giant heap at the deli counter. Nearby you'll be on the lookout for a jar of orangish red sauce on a yellow label that says something like "Isaly's bbq sauce." It's usually somewhere in the vicinity of the deli, not in the aisle with condiments. I wouldn't exactly call it bbq sauce and I wouldn't substitute it with anything else. Forget the homemade stuff, this'll do.

Find yourself some kaiser rolls, don't need to be anything fancy. Mix up your ham and sauce and heat it up. I like mine sauteed in a pan, some people do a crock pot, honestly....a microwave will do if that's all you have access to. You're really just trying to warm it up.

Throw it on the roll and serve with a Turner's iced tea.

Reply to Favorite hiking trail in Allegheny County? by ScareJessica2Death

The Rachel Carson Trail, and other connected trails in North Park, south from the pool/ballfields is really interesting. There are lots of routes around the ballfields, and most intersect the Rachel Carson trail at some point. It doesn’t matter which route you take, but once you’re on Carson, keep heading south and it drops into Pine Creek for a stretch where there is just some beautiful, isolated nature that feels so removed from city life.
