| Whatever. I'm still a tourist. Sue me. |
I just got home (a few days ago) from 10 days in the Bay
Area, and I can safely say that I’m puuuumped to move out there. I got to explore the city, see my
lovely and hilarious friends and family, and start the ball rolling (or at
least give it a nudge) in terms of job contacts, so we shall see how this
experiment goes. As of now, I have
a lot of confidence in the idea… not to mention the fact that I’m TOTALLY
STOKED to rediscover San Francisco more thoroughly. What an awesome city.

In the meantime, six very busy weeks await, in which I will try
to accrue as much of a financial cushion as possible AND try to get as much out
of Boston as I can… perhaps mutually exclusive goals, but I have faith.
I actually have a “Boston Bucket List” of sorts, which
includes – but is not limited to – the following:
1)
Freedom Trail.
Never walked an inch of it.
At least, not intentionally.
2)
Walden Pond.
Always been a fan of Thoreau.
And ponds.
3)
Harpoon Brewery.
Cuz I like beer.
4)
Sam Adams Brewery.
See above.
5)
Swan boats.
Boring but classic.
6)
Duck Tour. Don’t
ask me why, just always wanted to be one of those idiots that quacks at the
locals.
Anything huge I’m missing?
I’ve also been horrendously out of my healthy-living kick
for the last week-ish, so I’m hoping that this busy busy schedule won’t further
destroy my progress. Regardless of
the imminent time crunch, it’s time to return to yoga and eating my vegetables.
Consequently, I’ve been ravaging Pinterest, in the throes of
a healthy food-finding frenzy. I’m
thinking some lightened-up Chinese and Thai recipes will be showing up blogside
soon, since really any style of Asian cuisine can be categorized under “My
Weaknesses.” It's such. A. Problem.

That said, I actually made a very successful attempt at a healthified
version of General Tso’s chicken a few weeks ago, courtesy of Rocco DiSpirito’s
cookbook “Now Eat This.”
No deep
frying or sugar-loaded sauce required, but it still turned out way delicious.

| NOM. |
And, as with any good Chinese food,
made for excellent leftovers.
Hokay, that is all for now. More exciting entries coming soon. PROMISE.
