Ravio-sagna!

I just emailed my parents about this and am still incredibly excited and proud of myself, so I figured I would create a special post solely describing how great I feel about successfully cooking a real dinner. (It was either blog about it or knock on every single door in the apartment complex to tell them I made myself dinner.)

I was getting pretty sick of eating salad, so I decided to make something that involved more than a knife and a cutting board. When I say I decided to make dinner, I mean I decided to make dinner. I chose a salad, a main course, and dessert from my handy-dandy cookbook and even invited Robyn and Jennifer (the two girls I mentioned in my previous post) and Ben (who is also with Butler). The dishes were super simple to make, but that's besides the point. Robyn and Jennifer made the cucumber and tomato salad, and I made the (very edible) ravio-sagna and the cookie ice cream sandwiches.

A note on the ravio-sanga: It's either lasagna made with ravioli instead of the long strips of pasta or baked ravioli. I can't decide which description I like better.

Robyn and Jennifer even picked wildflowers for our dinner! It was super cute and sweet of them. The flowers were a fantastic centerpiece. We had such a lovely family-style meal. I will admit, I was (and still am) preening my feathers. I felt like such a productive member of society (or the apartment, at least); I actually fed other people! They are no longer hungry because of me.

So that's my big, important, blog-worthy news. It doesn't matter that my first week of classes is half over or that I'm going sightseeing (hopefully!) on Saturday because I MADE DINNER!

love always!
