		<description><![CDATA[Israeli couscous is a larger-sized couscous that looks a little bit like pearl barley.  It is toasted, which some people think gives it a nutty flavor; to me, it tastes faintly sweet more than nutty.  It makes a great summer salad, but I like to serve it warm in all seasons.  This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I made broiled head-on chili shrimp, Chinese noodles, and vegetable stir-fry for dinner.  The stir-fry was simple &#8212; just onions, bok choy, oyster mushrooms, and some seasonings &#8212; but delicious.  We had noodles and some stir-fry left over, and it occurred to me that it might make a good breakfast, paired [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been trying hard not to buy too many vegetables in addition to my CSA box, but this week I needed some hot peppers for a dinner I had planned: asparagus curry with chickpea pancakes.  I decided at the last minute to make a nice thick curry sauce to go with it all, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a cup and a half of mashed bourbon sweet potatoes sitting in my fridge since Monday-ish, and today I got around to using them.  There are lots of options for using up mashed sweet potatoes &#8212; you can usually sub them one-for-one in recipes calling for mashed pumpkin, butternut squash, or bananas, for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I went looking for coffee cake recipes.  I found one that at first glance, looked interesting, but on a deeper read&#8230;well, I thought it would be pretty dreadful.  I was too lazy to look up more, though, so instead I altered it on the fly into some tasty muffins.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the few spice blends that I buy instead of making myself is garam masala, a spice blend common in India and South Asia.  There are about as many recipes for garam masala as there are people who make it, but most recipes include cardamom, cinnamon,  fennel, coriander, and black pepper at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep a well-stocked spice cabinet; I tend to spice on the fly, often without tasting, putting flavors together in my head and trusting in my eye and hand to make things come out correctly.  It&#8217;s a dangerous enterprise, and not for the faint of heart &#8211; and not something to do with unfamiliar [...]]]></description>
