On Food and Future Blogging

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Is good food hard? Time-consuming? Expensive? Sometimes. Sometimes not. I invite you all to join me periodically for a digression into what we’re cooking and eating. I’m considering hosting a separate blog for the subject, but for now, it will be here, categorized as “Recipes”. And in many ways, it belongs here. Michael and me [...]
