the accidental cabbage.

It's pretty pathetic. Not even a week has gone by and I already miss you guys.
I watched SYTYCD and all I wanted to do was make fun of Ryan's tiny head, and how ridiculous the dance he did with Ashleigh was. I basically wanted to kill myself.
Oh! I was reading Martha Stewart Living, I know I'm 40 years old with 3 children and a pearl necklace on at all times, but that's besides the point. The January issue wasn't filled with festive ideas for New Years parties or how to bedazzle an entire dress to wear to these outings, oh no. There was however an entire 8 page spread devoted to the cabbage.
How to cook cabbage, what to cook it with, all the pretty colors it can be. There were pictures of it sliced, in wedges, stuffed with God knows what. Someone seriously sat there and tried to figure out what lighting would look best on the cabbage, how to arrange it, where to lightly drizzle some strange sauce and place a random spoon on top.
All I kept thinking about was our taco night and how for some reason I grabbed a head of cabbage instead of lettuce, and then we let it sit on our counter as we stared at it trying to figure out what exactly we could make with it.
Well apparently Martha has a few hundred ideas. If only we'd known.

You know it's finals week when...

1. You show up to your 7:30 a.m. exam with your shirt inside out - Lauryn

2. You can't keep track of the days because you go to sleep at 4:30 a.m., wake up at 7:30, take an exam, come home and sleep until 2 in the afternoon and start studying again.

3. Seeing people on campus in reindeer printed PJ pants and hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in 2 days is normal.

4. You go to a coffee shop to quietly study, not talk about the fun things you've done in the last week, and people playing cards and laughing is annoying.

5. Your brain literally hurts, as in it decides to stop working and all you can do is mindlessly stare at trashy television.

6. Getting fresh air only happens as you walk from your house to your test.

7. Setting your alarm for 6:30 am happens at least twice in 5 days.

8. Things that are normally amusing are HILARIOUS because you are delirious.

9. Selling your books back for $2 seems like the best thing ever.

10. Even though you don't have to go to any classes, it's the worst week of the year.

Dear finals week, we hate you.

too much food on my plate... psht jason mraz has never met us

As Lauryn and I were trotting across campus traveling to every possible bookstore trying to get cash money for the torture we were put through all semester due to these books, our thoughts naturally fell upon food. We were hungry. We wanted to feast.

Brainstorming and trying to think of what we had in our refrigerator we decided the best idea was Italian night with pizza and angle hair.

We bust through the front door looking for Danielle, find her in my room - right where we left her - working on endless interior design flash cards. Right away we state that tonight we are feasting, to which she joyfully exclaims something along the lines of, "YAY FOOD I'M SO HUNGRY YESSSS".

Promptly at 6 p.m. we put on our french music, boiled water, heated the oven, and within 15 minutes were eating our Italian "major munch" (check it at thesaurus.com .... no seriously type in feast and look at the genius literary suggestions that pop up).

Of course we finished that in 2 seconds and were thinking about what we could make for dessert.

What does one make with pancake mix, blueberries, cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter?

Oh we made crepes with cinnamon batter, filled with blueberries, and orange cream glaze.

Literally no recipes involved, Le Cordon Bleu is knocking on our door.

How did we make this orange cream glaze?

Well first we put some butter in the mixing bowl,

then we opened the cream cheese and this is where it gets interesting....

THERE WAS A 3 INCH PIECE OF WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE IT JUMPED OFF A SHARK AND INTO OUR CREAM CHEESE PACKAGE. Thanks Publix.

We screamed, we poked it with knives and threw away the package, luckily we had another one that a shark fin hadn't decided to form inside.

So then we added cream cheese, and vanilla extract, whipped it together, then added powdered sugar and orange juice until we had the thin, smooth, creamy texture.

Ever had an Orange Julius? yeah, it definitely tasted like that.

Mission make a delicious 3 course meal: Accomplished.

forged knot.

In attempt to avoid any studying for finals, we decided this was the perfect time to create our own blog. We are four girls attending Florida State University, randomly assigned to live with each other; who had no idea that within about 4 months we would meet, live with, and do just about everything with our 4 new best friends.

It's true. People look at us and wonder how one of us isn't the weird roommate. You know, that one that loves anime to a creepy extent, or talks to their stuffed animal like its alive, or has the tendency to never shower and eat nacho cheese that kicks the gag reflex into high gear at 3 a.m. while you're trying to sleep.

Somehow we got lucky enough to be assigned four clean, sane, crafty, fun girls that love food no matter what time of day it is.

So as we were sitting here killing our brains with spanish powerpoints, interior design index cards, and the thought of our final exams within a few hours we figured documenting our random college experiences from this year sounded like a much better idea.

This is us... we're Jenny, Lauren, Danielle and Lauryn (Grandma)

you might find us delirious, but we just find it funny.
