The roomies and I made lasagna for dinner last night. For non-cooking college students, I think we did a pretty good job. For those who know me well, you all know that I have the tendency to turn to baking when I'm feeling stressed out. After the success of this lasagna, I may just revert to actual cooking as stress relief. We do have a couple cookbooks lying around somewhere. Maybe I'll look through for a few recipes and try them out.
As to an introduction, oh I don't know. I've always kind of had a blog/blogs, whether it was a xanga page or a tumblr. I've ditched xanga, but I'm still on tumblr. I guess you could say that I'm getting tired of the whole "micro-blogging" world on tumblr and wanted a space for posts with more substance. Chu get me? I'll still be using tumblr though, maybe just not as often?
Wonder how we made lasagna? Here's the super easy-to-follow recipe:
