baked ziti.

i attended my first break the fast on sunday.  much could be said about the event, but i will just enlighten you on my college kitchen experience, baking ziti.  i baked all day long and brought it along with some cookies to the long tables where...like...a thousand dishes were. there was so much food--so many options. the cookies were gone in a moment. and, pleased with myself, the ziti was gone in about 10.
