We’ve been desirous to dwell within the northeast for fairly a while now, so when Scott’s firm introduced the chance for us to maneuver and be nearer to his purchasers, we jumped on it. Nonetheless, it was extremely arduous to say goodbye to a neighborhood we felt so related to, pals who’ve turn into household, and to our precise household in Columbia, however we knew it was time for a brand new journey. We hope to search out the identical form of relationships in our new metropolis, and so grateful to have already got household and fairly a number of pals already right here!
It’s solely been a number of weeks, however to date we’re loving our new metropolis! We really feel extremely fortunate that on this bonkers housing market, we discovered a house we love – an 1890 Queen Anne Victorian with simply sufficient tasks and updating to be enjoyable somewhat than overwhelming. Though I’ll say, the present kitchen scenario is…not nice! And since lumber costs are so excessive proper now, I’m going to must make due with a 40 yr previous oven and a fridge that’s within the mudroom in the intervening time!
One of many issues we’re loving most about Boston is our new neighborhood, an space newly designated as Boston’s Little Saigon. There’s not less than 30 completely different Vietnamese eating places inside strolling distance, and we’ve made it our mission to attempt a pair new ones each week. When Scott and I went to Vietnam in 2015, we fell in love with the delicacies, with its contemporary herbs, pungent candy and bitter dipping sauces, and ALL the noodles. Among the highlights to date had been salt and pepper fried softshell crab, served with rice paper rolls, veggies and herbs for making little rolls, fried tofu pores and skin, and our new favourite lunch spot with the perfect banh mi sandwiches and a smoothie bar for contemporary ardour fruit smoothies!
