So, today I went to Cafe Brasil for a late breakfast. I had been told that the food was nice and 'clean,' so I was willing to give it a shot. I was not disappointed. I had the red velvet hash, which is a combination of beets, potatoes, chives and jalapeños served with two eggs. It was really pretty good and an amazing red color from the beets.
This afternoon I ended up at a crawfish boil. I hate to admit it, but it was the first I've I had ever been to/participated in. I learned how to shuck them pretty quickly and commenced gorging myself. It was so fun, I was invited by a friend, and I met a wonderful group of people there.
I really can't say it enough; the people I've met down here are so sweet. I have met a couple jerks, but that was only when I was in a place that really wasn't my scene. Otherwise, the people here have been so kind and accommodating. I can't tell you how many wonderful conversations I've had with people that started by me just saying 'Hey, I'm new in town.'
Not to mention the fact that there are so many young professionals here. I guess I'm used to the small town thing where it takes awhile to get a career going. Well, down here it seems that there's a huge group of young talented people that are already working in the industry they've chosen. Houston actually has an expanding job market, so I'm pretty hopeful for how things might work out.
Well, that's enough for me today. I have a function later and I'm EXHAUSTED. You remember what I said about forcing myself to stop and sleep occasionally? That might be in order... But not today!
Cheers!
