it's pretty awesome here.. especially since I have a beautiful kitchen. We cooked for the first time last night, but I didn't get any pictures. I made myself and a few floor-mates my orange tofu (recipe following), and mushroom stir fry. Tonight we're having a floor dinner, but I'm just making food for myself.
Here's a few pictures of New York so far
Washington Square Park!
Times Square as a non-tourist!
Times Square again!
I start school Tuesday, but tomorrow I'm going up to Columbia to meet up with my friend.
