by Susan Lee 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

I have a Groupon worth $60 for the Original Fish Market downtown that we won't be able to use by its expiration date of tomorrow! (April 27th) If anyone is planning (or is now thinking about) going to dinner there, I will sell you this for $20! That's only $20 for $60 worth of delicious sushi or fish. Wait, they even have steak. Please contact me. Thanks, - Susan Lee

[Highland Park] Electric stove for Dilworth family garden night? Tomorrow (weds)
by Audrey Baker 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi neighbors, Does anyone have an electric stove to be used tomorrow night, Wednesday the 27th, for Family Garden Night at Dilworth Primary Academy? We have a gas stove that is only permitted for use on grass, and if it rains this means our guest chef has to stand out there under a tent while someone runs him quesadillas with an umbrella...! If you do, I would only need it for the evening, and can return it after 8 pm. Call or email. Thank you! -- Audrey Zelda Baker Garden Coordinator Grow Pittsburgh Edible Schoolyard 215-872-6163
