		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I had a wild hair for a grilled cheese sandwich.  Not just any grilled cheese sandwich, indeed, but one on cheap puffy white bread, with processed American cheese.  A terrible grilled cheese sandwich, that&#8217;s what I wanted.
Off I went to the grocery store, to purchase pre-sliced processed cheese and soft white [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had some leftover roasted stuffed leg of lamb to use up, and no side dishes to go with it.  Today was farm box day, though, and the farm box came with two small Italian eggplants and some white mushrooms.  They seemed to call out for a quick, light treatment.
I cubed and purged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons I like keeping a variety of things around in the freezer is that it makes it easy to turn out a tasty meal even when I&#8217;m low on fresh produce.  I forgot to go pick up my farm box this week, so I turned to my backup supplies.
In the fridge, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weekend (and holiday) brunches are important in this household.  Today&#8217;s was simple: a potato-leek frittata dressed up with the long-simmered red sauce I made yesterday.
I lined the small cast-iron skillet with thin slices of potato, gallette-style, cooked everything slowly, and ended up with a firm, creamy dish that lifted out of the pan perfectly.

		<description><![CDATA[This evening, we picked up our farm box and headed home with it.  In my head, I tried to count up what we had left from last week, what we&#8217;d need to make room for in the refrigerator, what meals I could make with this new bounty.  August is always difficult for me; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hot out, and I don&#8217;t have central air.
I also hurt my leg at rugby practice.
So I&#8217;m not real big on standing over the stove right now.
Fortunately, it&#8217;s also mid-August, which means that my kitchen contained everything for one of my favorite summer dishes: green beans with garlic and tomatoes.
The garlic is sweated in extra-virgin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve long been a fan of eggs with red sauce.  When I was a child, I would toast an Italian roll with provolone cheese on it, fry up an egg, and make an egg-cheese-and-sauce sandwich for breakfast or weekend lunch.  My sauce of choice in those days was the Newman&#8217;s Own &#8220;Sockarooni&#8221; that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve discussed my poor recording habits before.  This time, I made some refrigerator pickles that came out wonderfully&#8230;and of course I didn&#8217;t write anything down.  I think I based it on this recipe, but I&#8217;m not certain.
Before the vague memories (and the pickles!) vanish, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve got:

I was down in the Strip District on Saturday morning, and was sucked into Sunseri&#8217;s by a sign advertising fresh figs.  There was about 3/4 of a flat in the cooler, so I appropriated it and headed for the [...]]]></description>
