Summer Refreshers

When I signed up for Pittsburgh Seltzer delivery, all I could think about were Chocolate Egg Creams.  And they have been delicious.  But for the summer I’ve been looking for something a little bit lighter.  On a recent trip down to the Strip district I wandered into the Polish Deli on Penn Ave. between 22nd and 23rd streets.

Along with delicious prepared foods, smoked meats and sausages and pierogies, they have an amazing display of fruit syrups that are perfect for home made sodas.  Raspberry, Strawberry, blackberry, red current, wild cherry, and so many more.  The flavors are intense and so you only need about a teaspoonful for an 8 ounce glass of seltzer.  Talk about refreshing! Let me know if you use these syrups for anything else.  You can visit the site for the deli at http://www.sdpolishdeli.com/

    HI!
    I am glad to have found your site, but was hoping to find an archive of recipes done in your cooking marathons. Specifically, I was *hoping* to find them from Christmas, 1995. I know, I know, it was nearly 15 years ago, but I’ve been making your Buckeyes ever since, and I know there were other things I wanted to try from that special time, but I can’t for the life of me remember what I am looking for. I used to know, but middle age is taking it’s toll. I know this is pathetic, and I’m sorry. There’s a few links that would *appear* to be right, but do not work :(
    Hope to be able to mine the wealth of older recipes that someone has to have, somewhere. Half.com, an eBay subsidiary, is selling older WQED cookbooks for as high as $73.00… USED!

    Thanks, Kathy
