My Life, EatFoo

I'm now blogging quite regularly on EatFoo. I may still post links here, or maybe even rants, or life updates from time to time, but don't expect anything much. Cooking is my primary hobby, superseding all others at the moment, and so a lot more of my efforts are going into EatFoo. I spend most of my free time in the kitchen, and I'm extremely passionate about it, so I suggest you add EatFoo to your feed reader if you'd like to follow what I'm doing on a regular basis. If you don't use a feed reader, you're wrong.

But here's an update for now. I have two months left until I graduate and leave for San Francisco. Jeanette and I will be heading out there and living in the same apartment in which we lived last summer (which is amazing), and we'll be starting our bar exam prep classes in late May. The bar exam is at the end of July, and after that, we'll be taking an extended vacation somewhere internationally. At the moment, I'm leaning toward Southeast Asia (Thailand, Bali), Jeanette is leaning toward Mediterranean (Italy, Greece), mostly because she fears the monsoon. Having grown up in Florida, with its summer showers, I think I could manage it. After that, at the beginning of October, we start our new jobs.

I'm working for a upper-middle sized, awesome law firm called Fenwick & West, which reps technology companies. I'm in litigation, so I'll be doing lots of grunt work at first, but at least it'll be for cool innovators like Apple, Google, and many more that I haven't heard of but which are, upon investigation, also cool. I'm looking forward to starting work, even as I am realizing more and more that I really just want to be a chef. Nevertheless, this is the path I've chosen, and I plan to stick it out for long enough to build up some serious savings (five years?). And I really like the people at my firm, so that makes working there a lot more exciting prospect. Jeanette is working in litigation for a different law firm that is much bigger and less cool (in my opinion, at least--we have an ongoing rivalry, but whenever we pitch our firms to other people, mine wins).

I'm going to miss my DC roommates when I leave, as well as my Georgetown friends, and the few Vandy friends that I've somehow stayed physically close to, and close friends. There's a lot to like about DC, but but that still only makes it about one ninetieth as awesome as San Francisco. And besides, white people like San Francisco, so I have to go there (nearly everything on that website applies to me, by the way--goddamn yuppie!).

So, that's what's happening with me. If you and I are friends and haven't spoken in a while, leave a comment or drop me an email letting me know how you're doing. I'm not great at tending friendships, even though I do care about them. So let's chat. But don't expect such chatter to happen on this blog very often for the time being. Read EatFoo. Post bunches of comments. Email me about food or about life. See ya.
