		<title>Current Pleasures</title>

		<description><![CDATA[I turned in my manuscript today. Now it&#8217;s someone else&#8217;s problem for a while.  Then it&#8217;ll be my problem again, for a bit, then the publishers will carry it off and make it into a book, God willing and the crick don&#8217;t rise.

		<description><![CDATA[This is some crazy weather, isn&#8217;t it? Batidas &#8212; buy some frozen fruit.  What kind?  What kind do you like?  There&#8217;s always frozen guava pulp in my freezer, that much I can tell you.  But strawberries are delicious and easier to find at the grocery store.  Puree the frozen fruit in a blender.  Add cachaca [...]]]></description>
