		<title>Failure of Imagination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me get this out of the way first: I love Eileen Yin-Fei Lo.  I love her cookbooks and I own all but one of them.  I use her cookbooks frequently and I read them for inspiration.  I love the way she teaches in her cookbooks.  I love her opinionatedness.  I adore her stories about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dust to Dust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realized the other day that I almost never hear anyone talk about dusting.
Astonishing, really, when you think about it.  People tend to have so much stuff in their houses, in their spaces, in their lives, and so much of it is, let&#8217;s face it, stuff that we don&#8217;t use all that often.  I try [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Loud House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the house is too loud for me to get much work done.
Not loud in a literal sense.  I can be home alone, sitting in my office, the animals all fast asleep, nothing stirring at all, and the house can still be deafening.
&#8220;Wash me!&#8221; comes the soft, somewhat muffled cry of the laundry in its [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Pickled Onion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At today&#8217;s food sampling event at Mill Valley, I garnished the mushroom-celeriac pecan pate with quick pickled onion.  Enough people asked me how I made them that I thought I should share the procedure with you here.
Quick Pickled Onion
Peel, trim, and halve an onion. (Red, yellow, whatever you&#8217;ve got is fine.) Slice thinly and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hunanese Pickled Cabbage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was one of those days.
Some exquisitely pricey and uncomfortable dentistry was involved.
So was the death of one half of my ten year old pair of Yaktrax and my subsequent slipping and falling on Baltimore&#8217;s indifferently maintained sidewalks.
There was also the discovery that some of Baltimore&#8217;s Finest &#8212; by which I mean the large and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Bean Mussels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were in the mood to wallow in bivalves, and since they were on a very good offer at the market today, we did so.  Quite happily too.  I find mussels very restorative, especially when cooked with lots of garlic.  This is an excellent dish to make at the end of a day that has left you feeling a little dented.  It is vigorous in its flavors but light in its effect on the constitution.]]></description>

		<title>Bundles of Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;ve I been up to recently?
Well, I&#8217;m still writing a book.  And a second book.  And trying to find time to work, now and then, on a third book.
But I&#8217;ve also been making a lot of these little bundles of joy:
Including for a little event we called Dumplings Take Over The World, where a full [...]]]></description>
