I’m just beginning to adjust to living here. I took the adjustment harder than I thought. It’s the simple things that I miss. Like my old kitchen, radiator heating, the perky sound my washer/dryer makes when I turn it on, having amazing hiding places, our wonderful friends.. Focusing on work has definitely helped.
I’ve found a great vegan spot for lunch, which coincidentally holds a farmer’s market on Sundays. I couldn’t be more grateful for it. They carry a lot of exotic produce. Despite getting sick on some mustard greens I bought from there, I’m appreciative of being able to buy local ingredients once a week. If you’ve ever been to a Publix or Winn Dixie, I’m sure you know what I mean.
I watched Bourdain’s Chicago show last night. I wasn’t impressed or unimpressed. The part I enjoyed the most was the L20 scene and the compliments on Chicago’s culinary culture by Ripert and Bourdain.
(Yeah, that CC reference was on purpose.)
Work has really taken off. Starting from the ground up has been really rewarding. We’ll be working with some really awesome companies very soon. The future is exciting.
