I’m 34, from Massachusetts. I think it’s a great place to grow up, but it’s not exactly the type of place I’d want to live the rest of my life. I’m bored of it. I also can’t stand the weather

I had a down payment saved up, but every time I go to an open house my instinct says I don’t really want it. It’s more than just the condo, because I’ve seen ones that are perfect and still felt… meh…

My brother recommended moving by him in Southern California, but I can’t stand how suburban it feels there. Walkability is important to me

I’ve considered leaving the country cause the combination of what I want seems more available outside of the country. I can do this because I have a remote job that supports it. It just seems like a big jump for my age

What should I do?

So here's what I'm going for: I want a rice and chicken dish and here's how I'm planning it

1. sear chicken on all sides
2. cook holy trinity in fond
3. add rice
4. cook in chicken broth until done
5. add back in chicken and some peas

The problem I'm running into: how can I cook the chicken so that it's pull apart tender? Ideally, I want the rice dish to have chicken mixed in shredded and tender
