Introducing the mini-Marthas!

We moved in to our first apartment last September.  Basically, there is a door, a stove, two beds, two desks and a bathroom.  I guess that's what we get for our first home :)  Thursday night dinners with my friend Liz started as soon as the semester got underway.  It was our strategy to keep in touch with out insane schedules: mandatory weekly dinners! (Sound a little Gilmore-ish?)  At our first dinner, Liz made an off-hand comment that Hazel and I are what Martha Stewart would have been in college. 




Here is a summary of a typical night in the apartment: 
5:00 Gilmore Girls and knit/cross stitch
6:00 start/work on dinner (this part is always involved because I enjoy experimenting)
7/8:00 eat dinner while watching NCIS or House or Millionaire Matchmaker
11:00 complain that we didn't get any work done
12:00 bed time!


As you can see, we are predictable home-bodies who enjoy a good calorie filled dinner with a good glass of wine.  


Bios: ...and now, introducing the mini-Marthas!


My name is Anna, and I do all the cooking.  Sometimes I cook meals from my childhood, sometimes I cook recipes I find online (although I never follow them strictly), and sometimes the things I create are just concoctions I dream up (or accidentally stumble across).


My roommate's name is Hazel, and she does all the dishes and crafts.  She taught me how to cross-stitch and she is a knitting fiend.  Sometimes she is a spaz, but everyone deserves to dance around once in a while shouting the words to "Party in the USA."


And now, let the home-making commence!
