		<title>Chocolate buckwheat cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had a dream. As much as I love sweet crêpes,  I&#8217;ve always been a bit more of a fan of galettes – crêpes&#8217; hearty,  buckwheat flour, savory older cousins. Once when making galettes and  crêpes, I made myself a dessert &#8220;crêpe&#8221; using the buckwheat galette  batter. The French people present [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brussels sprouts pasta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I know I promised quick meals beyond pasta. I am presenting this pasta dish for your consideration despite my earlier and very recent promise for two reasons: first and foremost, it is flippin&#8217; delicious. Who would think of adding brussels sprouts to spaghetti carbonara? Me! That&#8217;s who! And I&#8217;m pretty pleased with myself. (Brief side [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Two friends and an acquaintance (well, I know him and he might recognize me but maybe not) have come out with books this spring. It was with great relief that I opened them up and found them to my liking. There is always that moment before reading a friend&#8217;s book or going to their gallery [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mushroom soba noodle soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One good friend just started a full time job after freelancing for years. Another friend has twins who are old enough now to eat real food so they&#8217;ve been trying to have family dinners most nights. Still another friend&#8217;s husband had a change at work and is no longer home in time to make dinner, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Popovers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A neighbor asked for popover tips recently. I shared what I know and promptly made a batch of my own. The three of us ate the twelve of them in a snap.
They are good with roasts, good with stews, and a delight for breakfast. I suppose you could put jam or something on them, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kumquat endive salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We ate dinner last week in an industrial space that had been re-done into a residence and studio that was so stunning that Ernest jumped up and down as he shouted &#8220;Mama, this is so cool!&#8221;
I had to agree. The space was cool, the company delightful, and the food perfection. I was offered the serving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chocolate pudding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I made this chocolate pudding with my best friend from high school in mind. She loves chocolate pudding. I&#8217;ve seen her eat it for breakfast and I&#8217;ve seen her eat in for dinner. Nice big bowls of it.
She does not, however, like to cook much. She bakes some mean cinnamon rolls and whips up a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chiles in walnut cream sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was craving some chiles rellenos. Then I read this lovely post at Rachel Eats about walnuts, and her walnut pesto looked so yummy that the neurons started firing. Then I remembered that there is a traditional chile rellenos dish that uses a walnut cream sauce. After a bit of research I realized I did [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radicchio green olive salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bright and bitter. Some days that describes me to a T. Purple and salty. Sometimes that works too, although in a more metaphorical way. They all get right to the heart of this salad, which hits the bright and bitter, purple and salty notes perfectly.
Radicchio green olive salad
This is my riff on a salad made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oeufs a la neige</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love the Winter Olympics. The Summer Olympics are fun to watch and all, but the Winter Olympics grab my heart. I read the coverage, I watch clips, I follow the way fans follow things. I even disconnect our internet connection and plug the cable cord into an old 9-inch TV tottering on a stack [...]]]></description>
