As someone who grew up in a small town, I love living in the city. I love being so close to art and culture, to so many great restaurants and specialty grocery stores, to theaters and museums and to my job that I do really and truly enjoy. My small hometown had and still has so many lovely places to eat, shop, and spend time, it's where so many of my family and friends still live, and it's located in such a beautiful spot. But it really does pale in comparison to the offerings on display where I currently live.
But I do really miss being able to grill.
