Hey, I?ve Moved?

In a way, over to here… Blue Flowers and Folly . Since we’ve moved, literally, I’m incorporating The Food Groove with our new house and what we are doing with it. And I’ll probably be adding some rants and snark to the[...]

Welcome Home?

53 1
Well, we’ve been in our new house for about a month now. I’m thinking I’m going to link this blog to some sort of new home-garden-food blog… I just need a name and a bit of extra time to get it set up. We’re finally[...]

Last Macaroni and Cheese?

Scrambled pasta something sounds good again for this week. I also think I’ll do a chicken, roasted red potatoes and asparagus meal. I’ll have to plan a bit, and maybe hit the grocery store tomorrow, or the next day. We’re doing[...]

Sunday Cooking?

It’s been too long since I’ve spent some Sunday time in the kitchen. One reason is because I’ve been going to the grocery store on Monday or Tuesday nights lately. Which means that come Sunday, it’s time to use up what is[...]
