Hi! My name is Angela, and I am a 17 year old student at BYU in UT. I am an Ancient Near Eastern Studies/Anthropology double major and I love it! I also love to play the cello and have for 8 years. I come from a large family (7 siblings) and, as my parents give each of their children "jobs" to prepare them to leave home, I spent my last year at home cooking dinner five nights a week. This site became a mainstay - I have come to so appreciate its quality and accessibility. Now I cook for roommates once a week, so I continue to frequent it nearly as often. It's great!
