Thai food day #2: another lunch with an old Vis friend, Brittany! One of the best things about this summer is that I have had the chance to catch up with a bunch of old high school classmates that I haven’t seen since graduation. Brittany is about to begin a semester abroad in London (ugh the FOMO) and spent last semester working in Disneyworld. Naturally, we spent a majority of the time gossiping about classmates, teachers, and our old school.
My Yale alumni mentor Hari, took me out to a wonderful dinner in St. Paul to again discuss the rough road to law school. As a big foodie and connoisseur of Chinese food (following a couple years spent there), she was determined to get me to try Szechuan food. We had dinner at Little Szechuan in St. Paul and it was AMAZING. The peppercorn in the chicken and fish dishes (seen below, all half eaten), definitely got my senses tingling, but all of the food was delicious. We tried some local Chinese beer and the sugar helped to cut the painful stinging and watery eyes. All in all, it was not nearly as spicy as I expected and I will definitely be going back! Can’t say the same for our conversation, which held the common refrain of “you’re not getting into law school,” although with much nicer words of course.

Me too! It’s so good and not nearly as hard to cook as it seems!
