		<title>New Year = New Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I just got a Holga camera and am going to take a stab at analog photography. It&#8217;s pretty funny that a Holga uses professional film (120 medium format) but is made of plastic. Now all I need to do is find a place that processes this kind of film since I don&#8217;t know anything [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Holiday Aftermath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What remains after the holidays? Fatigue, a full 5 day working week, the need to clean my apartment. I can never seem to escape the post-holiday slump. But then there&#8217;s all these positive things as well: amazing new books/magazines to read, a juicer to make experimental juices with, a panini press to make fancy cafe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let the Holiday Madness Continue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Round 1: Xmas Celebration
For Tim&#8217;s Nana&#8217;s Xmas Eve bash I prepared a vegan chocolate chip pecan pie which had flax meal instead of eggs in it. At first it tasted a little too intense but once it was refrigerated over night it took on a whole new and improved  taste. I brought some to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The sound of Settling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a rough couple of weeks but I finally feel like I can start to relax a little bit more now. I love how my apartment is finally cozy and looks livable. I still need to add some pictures/art on the walls which are naked right now. My cat has finally settled as well. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Through Changes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week has been non-stop action, what with moving, buying things to setup our new apartment with and starting a new job. I haven&#8217;t even had the chance to fill my fridge and pantry with much of anything. I&#8217;ll wait to take/post pics of the place once everything is settled and looks less like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life In The Fast Lane + Mac N Cheese Mania</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ When I moved down here I was prepared to wait for at least 3-4 months before I would even be able to start looking for work, and up to 2 years before I would even see any signs of my green card. But, within about 2 months of my wedding, I was able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potato Salad and White Bean Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ When I was about 4 years old, potato salad was one of my most favorite dishes to scarf down on. Unfortunately, I think I ate so much that I developed an aversion to it. It took about 24 years for me to start falling in love with potato salad again. My dear friend Terzo, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homemade Pizza Is Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years I&#8217;ve wanted to make my own pizza from scratch, but I was basically intimidated by the whole idea (seemed like a huge undertaking &#8211; especially since pizza is so inexpensive and readily available in these parts). However, last week I really looked at the recipe (Jamie At Home cookbook), all of sudden, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guacamole and Witches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I made a bowl of guacamole by following Alton Brown&#8217;s recipe. I added a little more salt and only half a lime (kinda watery). In the end, this turned out to be the BEST guac I&#8217;ve ever had; people couldn&#8217;t stop eating it. Next time I&#8217;ll have to double the recipe.
 In other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooking with the Three Sisters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the abundance of Squash right now I had to try Roasted Squash, Corn and Beans from Moosewood Celebrates (if you keep scrolling on the linked page you&#8217;ll find the recipe).  This recipe calls for the 3 sisters which are the 3 staple crops (corn/maize, beans, squash) that have been used by indigenous groups [...]]]></description>
