A lot of big things went down this month. First of all, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Josh Goldstein and I am the newest member of the East Bay Moishe house. This month we had book club, pumpkin carving, and, amongst other events, an amazing shabbat dinner. The house was filled with familiar faces as well as new ones, people just kept coming in, even my parents came out and joined us; it was really a special evening.
This month I was working for an event production company that was putting on the Nike Women's Marathon. It was a big job and a lot of fun. On my first day I saddled up a forklift for the first time, about midway through the month I was driving a 20 foot box truck around downtown San Francisco, then come race day I worked more than 30 hours straight. After it was all said and done, the production team I was on had had enough, but were super stoked on how smooth everything went. Sure, we were maxed out, but when the first runners went through the starting gate and the marathon began, we were very proud.
Now the biggest, life changing, thing to go down this month was I started culinary school at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Two words describe the first month, hard and delicious. The program moves along at an extremely fast pace, already I have completed two courses (no pun intended). But it is awesome!!!! For instance, today I made a lamb stew with polenta and a veal stew served in a pastry shell (sorry to make yall hungry).
What a month, probably one of the most productive months I have ever had. I look forward to the coming months in my new home and the active lifestyle that Moishe brings. Things calm down a little this month with no more marathon work, however, basketball season rolls in and Coach Frisco pulls out his whistle.
-Josh "Frisco" Goldstein, just happy to be here...
