So all of a sudden we decided to move last week and things have been crazy for the last few days. Despite the massive disruption of our schedules and exhausting time I had moving our things up 3 flights of narrow stairs, I’m absolutely elated to be living in a real home.

More importantly, I’m beside myself having a real kitchen. Our new kitchen has a full size gas stove, dishwasher, and walk-in pantry. Finally, I have room to store all the kitchen gadgets I’ve been dreaming of.

Also, our new neighborhood is awesome. My favorite Mexican food restaurant is across the street- I can see it from where I’m typing now. There is a butcher shop called Meatland a block away, also a bakery, a fruit market, and lots of exciting new Latin eateries. We are in heaven.

To add to our excitement, we saw Justin Mih last night. You may recognize the name from our field trip to the Hot Dog Safari. I recognized him last night at Tacos El Charro across the street and we chatted for a while about his experience as an I.F.O.C.E. ranked eater. He was a really cool guy and I hope to get an interview done with him and talk about his training and competitions.

I’ll try to take pictures of all the new sights and blog about the new tastes around our new apartment as soon as possible.
