One of the benefits of traveling to Pittsburgh during Lent is the opportunity to have dinner at a fish fry. Pittsburgh is not ordinary city in this respect. There are over 90 fish fries in the Greater Pittsburgh area on Fridays during Lent — so many that the local paper publishes an interactive map.
After scanning the map, we selected the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, a huge church located in a neighborhood historically known as “Polish Hill.” According to the map, they were offering everything we were looking for.
Our plan was to have a fish sandwich and fries for dinner on-site, and to take a variety of Polish food and some Mac & Cheese back to the hotel for another night. Unfortunately, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church had run out of pierogies (this was the last Friday for their fish fry, since they don’t hold one on Good Friday). Not to be denied, Faith called in an order for pierogies to-go from St. Joseph, a church about five miles from our hotel.













All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
