Food Plan and Grocery List, 052811

It's been a long time since I've cooked in my kitchen. Not-so-pleasant apartment happenings occurred in March, reduced me to tears in April, and nearly broke me earlier this month. Finally (finally!) things seem to have been rectified. I feel like I'm home again. Because I'm excited about it, I'm going to publish current posts while catching up on the back-log, starting now.

I've been craving a few things, namely lobster, spareribs and beef stew. Since 2 of 3 of those is enough to feed an army, I'm going to leave out the lobster this week.
