Times have changed during my precious few years on the planet. Back in the day, a road trip meant interesting new restaurants. At noon and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad news. The poached fish fell flat. Maybe not exactly flat. It looked good and tasted okay but fell short of greatness. Since many restaurants provide okay taste lacking greatness, why bother cooking at home? We cook to greatness, not less. 
Fortunately, the bread and potatoes wowed the diners.

Between the decline of fisheries and the [...]]]></description>

2006 should prove to be another year of recipes and opinions. Locally grown ingredients and regional food styles continue to seem important; but it might [...]]]></description>

Whether one of the more popular, instantly recognized name cakes or a lesser known, top shelf, hoity-toity cake, they elect the box cake path  none-the-less. Considering the disadvantages of preservatives, old ingredients and artificial flavoring, there must [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to getting things done, few tricks work as well as a good shopping list. If you go to the supermarket with no list, if you wander the aisles trying to decide what to get, shopping takes forever, and when you get home, you&#8217;ve forgotten the important stuff, like beer.

		<description><![CDATA[Buying locally grown goods makes good sense, and usually good cents. When you buy locally, you help your neighbors, small farmers who are being crowded out by mega-companies; you get fresher food and often better varieties of produce than you can find in the supermarkets. The small farmers who grow produce for road-side stands and [...]]]></description>

Or, some of it is.  It seems that last time someone got something out, a package of beef fell out, and stopped the [...]]]></description>
