Cooking With Miklb

So, a lazy Friday night, not feeling like going to the market, but with the cool air lingering, I rummaged through the cupboards in search of a meal.

I've got a personal/political-ish blog over at miklb.com/blog, but I had the idea of doing a blog that is strictly food/cooking related. Primarily recipes, menu ideas, and keeping up on current events related to food & health.
