		<title>Making Stuff: Koi!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Finally did something with the first of three side tables I picked up for five dollars, two years ago, at the Royal Oak Antique &#38; Garage Sale.  The tables are really ideal for mosaic, in that the surface panels are removable and easily replaced with plywood.  Consequently, the art is interchangeable, should I ever want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazing Ammoglio, from the (Cafe) Muse Herself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the most exciting thing I&#8217;ve cooked since the tacos al pastor&#8230; and again, I used the magic crockpot to make my meat tender and my life easier.  You&#8217;re looking at short ribs with ammoglio sauce, over soft polenta.  I should really learn to make my own polenta;  I gather that it&#8217;s easy, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Life Is Awesome, And So Are My Tacos Al Pastor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am a little bit in awe of myself right now.  Today I aced my final exam for my rivers class (at least, I&#8217;m pretty darned sure I did) AND managed to cook not only a respectable dinner, but one of the best things I&#8217;ve cooked in MONTHS.
For background, I&#8217;ve been obsessed with our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farmers&#8217; Market FTW!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Uncharacteristically, I snapped wide awake at 7:30 AM this past Saturday.  (I normally sleep like a brick, and rouse groggily.)  So it was off to the farmer&#8217;s market with me!  And I had a field day.  I came home with cherries, garlic scapes, broccoli, zucchini, onions, green beans, a giant bunch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michigoodness: Zingerman&#8217;s Warehouse Sales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Friday, and if I didn&#8217;t live so far from Ann Arbor, I know exactly where I&#8217;d be: 610 Phoenix Drive.
That&#8217;s the Zingerman&#8217;s mail-order warehouse, and this time of year—opposite the holidays—is their slow season.  Consequently, they&#8217;ve started up a series of secret sales for locals, where supplies are limited but discounts abound, usually better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ancient Flavors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To know the products of the Antica Dolceria Bonajuto is to know an infinity of flavours unknown to most &#8212; ancient flavours unchanged by the passing of time.&#8221;
So reads the copy on the website of the oldest chocolate factory in Sicily.  Their recipe is directly descended from the chocolate of the Aztecs, as it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really Good Balsamic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since discovering  Morgan &#38; York, we&#8217;ve had our eye on a bottle of their Aceto Balsamico Maletti.  We sampled it on one of our visits for Sweet Gem truffles, and never forgot it.  It is fantastic.  It is thick and rich like balsamic syrup without the bother, and without the excessive sweetness.  We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Six Sigma Cooking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been scarce lately, but hopefully that&#8217;s to change.  Over the past three weeks, I&#8217;ve taken final exams for two rather difficult courses, sat for an eight-hour standardized engineering exam, and sung Beethoven&#8217;s Ninth with a choir of two hundred.  Now it&#8217;s my &#8220;vacation week&#8221; between terms, and I&#8217;m catching up on things and rebooting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seid umschlungen, Millionen!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
See that gorgeous stage?  I was lucky enough to be standing on it last weekend, singing my heart out to a packed house in the final movement of Beethoven&#8217;s Ninth Symphony with the Detroit Civic Orchestra!  It was, quite possibly, the most amazing concert I&#8217;ve ever sung.  There were over two hundred singers, [...]]]></description>
