Comment by Zehra Rizvi on February 8, 2012 at 3:28pm: Hey foodies...as much as I LOVE the photo up for our group, was wondering if people had other photos...please post and will choose one (or more as the weeks follow) to make our group pretty :)

Any other things people would like to see up here? Ideas, suggestions? I am the 'caretaker' of the group as of now and it means I get to do your admin as to what you want the group to be...so let the ideas roll!

Comment by Zehra Rizvi on February 2, 2012 at 10:54am: Foodies, I wrote about finding organic food in Pakistan...here is the link for it. Hoping that you guys will either have tips on organic produce OR, posts on where you buy the groceries you love to buy in the places you live...links to stores or addresses etc would ROCK so that if someone is moving there or visiting there, they can find it :)
