		<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>

		<title>Spiced caramelized cauliflower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This cauliflower is like gold, but more precious.
That is an inside joke between me and a long-ago college boyfriend. When I was 18 the two of us traveled from France to Greece and Italy and Denmark (!) on EuroRail passes and change we found on the floor of the trains. Or so it seemed. We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooking with cousins part 2, samosas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last week, before the lefse extravaganza, one of my other San Francisco Bay Area cousins (the Watson cousins have a quorum going &#8211; four out of seven of us live in the Bay Area; if you count Monterey, which is a questionable move, the number goes to five out of seven – impressive considering not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooking with cousins part 1, lefse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last night my world fell apart. And thus so too did dinner. Just a bit.
My Very Tall Cousin&#8217;s Norwegian girlfriend had been home over Christmas and made lefse from scratch with her stepmother. Lefse, in Norway, is a traditional food and made, she said, really mainly at Christmas time. Most people buy theirs – often [...]]]></description>
