		<title>Culinary Challenges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished listening to a stockpile of old Splendid Table podcasts that got me thinking of my next learning project&#8230;
I&#8217;ve never made a soufflé.
Homemade hot dogs could be interesting in my kitchen (I&#8217;m thinking studded with jalapenos, or a shrimp hot dog).
I have dandelion greens in my yard I should stir fry one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>back from hibernation with chocolate summer jam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve admitted to not being much of a jam eater.  This can make the process of putting up jars and jars of jam in the summer a bit silly feeling.  
That is until these cold crisp sunny wintry mornings when one of those jars gets snapped open.  
Or until they are handed [...]]]></description>

		<title>My favorite flavor: charred tomatoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every year of eating tomatoes (only three years now), I seem to learn something new about them.
This summer I have a new obsession thanks to the cookbook Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way, by Francis Mallmann: charred tomatoes.  Several of Mallmann&#8217;s listed appetizers call for burning the featured vegetable (cherry tomatoes or carrots) or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Storage experiments: jalapeños</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These jalapeños have been sitting in my refrigerator a week now.  It&#8217;s a shame to ignore them as I have- so I threw in the towel today. Well sort of.  My current storage experiment: submerging them in rice and tucking them into the freezer, with the future plan to cook up the scented [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spoils of summer: fruit popsicles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the height of summer&#8217;s ripe-wave, I find myself often failing to keep up with the super juicy berries in my kitchen.
When its too darn hot outside, do I want to fire up the stove top to turn these fruity gems into jam?  No.
To deal with over-ripening fruit super quick, my answer is to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The jams I ought to make</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best way to preserve foods is to take what you have in abundance, especially if it&#8217;s seemingly free.  Buying lots of fruit to jam is just not as economical efficient as using what is found in your yard or neighborhood.
Being one with very little food yard, I&#8217;m guilty of buying my jamming fruits [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strawberry on strawberry action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve only recently come to love strawberries.  
Yeah- I know how odd that is&#8230; I had some silly convictions I carried with me through childhood as a picky eater.  Strawberries use to be in that category of untouchable foods -like tomatoes.  But now that I&#8217;m enjoying foods in season, strawberries have revealed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grilled cheese grown up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in the midst of a simple bliss- enjoying a new favorite cheese.
Not only that, it&#8217;s nestled in between slices of the grainiest bread I know and melted to oblivion.  Half-n-half grilled cheese style: horseradish chive havarti and pepperdew havarti.
How do you like to make your grilled cheese grown up?

		<title>New tricks for your coffee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might be like me.  Someone who can&#8217;t leave what&#8217;s good enough alone.  Coffee is one of those things for me.  Rarely can I drink it plain black, and rarely plain warm.  Want to teach your coffee to jump through hoops?  Here are some ideas.
