		<title>How to eat all day long and not get fat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently drove from Vero Beach to Titusville, Florida with some friends we met at the marina, Don and Joan. The four of us wanted to watch the final launch of the space shuttle Discovery. Joan had done her research on where to go, but with 100,000 people expected, we&#8217;d have to drive up hours [...]]]></description>

		<title>The five-hundred year vegan diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently told Barry I wanted to experiment with a special diet. Based on some of the purification or &#8220;detox&#8221; diets I&#8217;d read and heard about, we would remove a bunch of foods from our diet for two weeks. Then we&#8217;d add them back gradually, to see whether we notice a difference. Here&#8217;s the list [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cookie rapture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is just a brief Christmas eve photo essay, before I move onto making all my favorite Christmas Eve buffet finger foods. Barry and I received the most precious package of homemade cookies the other day &#8212; a beautiful, fragile batch of ultra-thin, crispy Sand Tarts. Here we are, enjoying them! Thanks to Donna and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baaaaad Chinese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never written a review panning a restaurant before. But I&#8217;ve never had a meal this bad before. We were hungry for lunch this morning while out running errands in Beaufort. Imagining a nice plate of something with a lot of broccoli, I suggested Chinese food. We had tried Taste of China and found it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Peanut Butter &amp; Jelly Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, April 2nd, is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Whether this is a real holiday or a bogus one, it gives me a chance to write about two of my favorite foods and two of my favorite people. If you are from overseas, you find American peanut butter &#8220;ghastly,&#8221; to quote British writer Annie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap eats around Beaufort, North Carolina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last December, Barry and I caught a ride from Beaufort, North Carolina, to Raleigh with Dan Smith, of Funny Farm. It was a miserable evening, raining cats and dogs, and we bounced along 2-lane roads in Dan&#8217;s Big Red Truck, swapping tales and keeping each other entertained. In Goldsboro, North Carolina, Dan introduced us to [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s a cross between fudge and cookie?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Barry came back to the boat recently and found me laughing my head off like a lunatic. Because we&#8217;ve been doing fiberglass work in the main cabin, we&#8217;ve moved out of the galley and are cooking on a 2-burner Coleman stove on a picnic table under the boat. But I can&#8217;t let the Coleman stove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding recipes in good books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, when I&#8217;m reading, there&#8217;s a description of how to make something that sounds delicious, even though it&#8217;s not precisely a recipe. Like the Fondue recipe from occupied France, this one comes from a World War II memoir. In this case, it&#8217;s the second book of Roald Dahl&#8217;s autobiography, Going Solo. I highly recommend this [...]]]></description>

		<title>No more fridge-free living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever looked carefully at the condiment shelf in your fridge? I bet you can identify items that are years, maybe decades old. And then there are things we wouldn&#8217;t know how to keep if we didn&#8217;t have a refrigerator and freezer. For example, mayonnaise, or butter, or fresh ginger. For years, I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>An illustrated guide to charcoal-grilled turkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered how to cook a turkey on a charcoal grill? When it&#8217;s time to cook a turkey, it&#8217;s usually a holiday, and the kitchen is a madhouse. There are pies and casseroles and rolls to be baked, and the oven is never big enough for everything. Cooking the turkey outside is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bye-bye, friendly but overwhelming pears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took a very special photograph today, a plate of tiny poached pears stuffed with cream cheese. Why is the photo special? It represents the last four pears. What a relief! Barry&#8217;s parents have several pear trees that produce delicious pears every fall. Unfortunately, they produce too many of them, and they ripen all at [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few of my favorite things, part two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently wrote about my favorite kitchen gadgets, the small ones (see A few of my favorite things, part one). The following short list has my favorite big things, the ones that don&#8217;t fit into a drawer. One reason they&#8217;re favorites is because they all come with great stories. Some have multiple uses. For instance, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few of my favorite things, part one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who cooks will have a few favorite gadgets in their kitchen. When you open that jumbled, messy kitchen drawer, your favorites are the ones on top. If not, they&#8217;re the ones sitting on the counter, or more likely, in the sink or dishwasher. I&#8217;ve downsized from a full-sized house and kitchen to the bare [...]]]></description>

		<title>My friend, Mr. Asparagus Spear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s asparagus season again, time to dust off one asparagus anecdote, one story, and one great tip. Most of the people I know love fresh asparagus. It&#8217;s considered one of the gourmet vegetables, right up there with hearts of palm and artichoke hearts. Even now that it&#8217;s become fairly commonplace, the thought of the tender [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loaf at first sight: How to find true happiness with a bread machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one of the earliest adopters of a bread machine, back in 1990, I never experienced the kind of phobia Tara writes about. My only bread machine-based fear was based on a real experience: While making a loaf of pumpernickel, my DAK bread machine, the kind that looked like R2D2, literally walked off the counter.

		<title>Nora&#8217;s secret Horror d&#8217;Hoover recipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article in Global Rhythm (May &#8217;07) about German lebkuchen, a kind of spice cake dating back to the 18th century. According to the article, one company keeps their recipes in a safe and changes the combination daily. Those are pretty precious recipes. As any of my readers can see, I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Incomparable Versailles Restaurant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google Earth tells me that it&#8217;s 2,756 miles from my home in Seattle to the Versailles restaurant in Miami. It&#8217;s worth the trip. In 1977, I was young enough that any restaurant was a special treat, even Pizza Hut or Burger King. That year, my parents and I drove to Miami for Christmas. We spent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eating my way across Portugal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We boarded the train from Coimbra, Portugal, to Lisbon, and we found people already sitting in our ticketed seats. As they reluctantly moved to their own places, one of them asked me, hopefully, &#8220;Are you sure you want these seats?&#8221; Then I realized we had ended up in one of those rows at the center [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s so funny about green Jello?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I laughed so hard last night, I got a cramp in my jaw. Just thinking about it makes me chortle. It was brought about by green Jello. I grew up with a lot of Jello. My Mom made it often, dissolving the packet of raspberry or strawberry Jello in boiling water, then stirring in fruit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flying Solo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This piece was written in honor of the launch of the brand new Foodie Gazette. For the first time, my recipes are flying solo, rather than being an adjunct of mepsnbarry.com. That brought to mind the first time I ever flew solo in the kitchen. It was traumatic, to say the least. I&#8217;m hoping that [...]]]></description>
