It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve lived in a dorm, and packing for this trip has brought back some not-so-fond memories of leaving home for college or <a href=\"http:\/\/cty.jhu.edu\/\">CTY<\/a>. Beyond the basics like clothes and toiletry, I&#8217;ll also be bringing bed sheets, hangers, pots, and kitchen utensils. I&#8217;ve even got my own hot plate since there&#8217;re no stoves in the building. The most difficult part, however, will be spending a month away from my wife. Today, we went to the romantic 5-diamond restaurant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lespalier.com\/\">L&#8217;Espalier<\/a> for their prix fixe lunch menu before my flight out. Our meal started with field greens from their rooftop garden and a delectable chilled watermelon soup for appetizers. These were followed by a delicate pan-roasted trout and a divinely-rich pork belly confit. Desserts included a decadent chocolate cake and an expresso-flavored creme brulee, both of which were adequately pleasing. Unfortunately, I doubt this will hold me out for a month of cafeteria food. I&#8217;ll hopefully figure something out &#8230; or die of starvation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hours from now, I&#8217;ll be flying to Baltimore for an elective in Ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins.
