		<description><![CDATA[Before&#8230;and after.  The comparison shots aren&#8217;t quite fair, because very little was back into the kitchen when I took the &#8220;after&#8221; photo &#8212; but keep in mind that in the &#8220;before&#8221; photo, everything is put away, except for the contents of the dish drainer!  That is what the kitchen looked like scrubbed clean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things we bought when we bought our house was a Weber kettle grill; we had visions of steaks and burgers and skewers of vegetables on hot summer evenings, with cool beer to wash everything down.  
After a while, we got more ambitious: let&#8217;s grill a leg of lamb!  Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made some apple muffins to use up some aging apples &#8212; just put chunks of apples and some spices into a generic plain muffin recipe, and topped them with turbinado sugar.  We ate some muffins for breakfasts for a few days, and then got bored and forgot about them.
A week later, I pulled [...]]]></description>

		<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>

As I was making tonight&#8217;s dinner (watercress salad with goat [...]]]></description>

The dumpster will fit in the driveway. I&#8217;m frantically clearing the basement and the dining room to make way for the things that [...]]]></description>

I also had boneless skinless chicken breasts in the house; I almost never have these since we get most of our chicken [...]]]></description>

If you have a local Middle Eastern grocery or deli, check there.  Mine is the Alwadi brand.  Sometimes, other brands are called pomegranate syrup.  [...]]]></description>

I put it into the next week, and wanted to do something new and fun with it.  Fortunately, Nat and I had recently purchased a Persian cookbook, Persian Cooking, by Nesta [...]]]></description>
