Faithful readers:
I have been away for far too long. Miss Jessica seems to have done a fine job regaling you with tasty foods – in fact, in my absence, we actually got to have a meal together! So nice.
To give you the short version of what’s been happening in my life: Got a new job, moved across the country for said job. Slept on friend’s couches for a month and a half, then got my own place, but with nothing other than an air mattress and some paper plates. Learned a whole new job, navigated a new city, got three parking tickets before sending my car home to the Mitten state and finally got all my stuff HERE.
I’ll share apartment pics later, as a big selling point on this place was its ENORMOUS counter space. If it wasn’t for all the boxes of my stuff still up on the counter, I could probably lay down on the thing. It’s that glorious. I moved in, thinking, “oh, the things I can make with this much space! I can use a hundred cutting boards! I can finally get an upright mixer!”
But sometimes, the best part about finally settling in, is realizing you don’t have to go out for takeout anymore. You can just come home, putting on some TV (for me, Friday Night Lights), and eat some nachos.
It’s good to be home.

You just moved to DC, right? (creepster alert, sorry!) Welcome! I just moved to a place that has a whole island-type counter, but against the wall. And the kitchen, by apartment standards, is the size of a master bedroom. So excited to cook.
I did, Allison! No worry on the creepster factor; I post most of my non-threatening info online. Thanks for the welcoming!
A friend and I are hoping to do an adventurous eating club soon – basically picking an ingredient we’ve never used before, and cooking it. Is there an established something or other like that here? Or, if we started one, do you think people would be into joining?
It’s nice to see a friendly (online) face in the neighborhoodish! Keep me posted on your cooking – I’d be happy to follow along. 🙂
