Well kids, I’m back.  Luckily Monday and flying and travelling were noneventful.

New York City is wonderful, I love New York, I really do, but it is a difficult and expensive place to live, and right now I think I’m happy in Chapel Hill.  Less expensive to live here too.  Yes, I am applying for jobs, I will let you all know when I find one.

And yes, the Dilettantista will continue!  Just because I am in Chapel Hill does not mean that my life will become boring.  This blog will still focus on the sights I see, the food I eat, and the places I go.  Before I left Chapel Hill I was making strides in my endeavor to learn to cook like a grown-up, so much of this website will probably become recipes and photographs of my cooking explorations.  I will also, of course, review Triangle restaurants and make this blog all about Chapel Hill-Durham-Raleigh, because I think there is a general lack of blogs dealing directly with the Triangle.  Tons of NYC blogs, no Chapel Hill blogs?  Maybe I’ll find a niche.

Anyhow, thank you for reading this summer, and please continue to check back over the next few weeks to see how the blog continues to change and develop!
