		<title>a late winter picnic.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Several years ago, when my oldest son was a baby and we lived in Hawaii, I spent most of my free time drooling over the photographs in Martha Stewart Living.  I knew once we moved back to the mainland, I would entertain people in a way that would make Martha proud.
When we got back, [...]]]></description>

Well, neither is my son, but that&#8217;s how he fences.  He even started fencing that way before I showed him The Princess Bride.
Now I know you all don&#8217;t need a recipe for this, but I thought it would be fun to include anyway, since I packed it for my 10-year-old&#8217;s first fencing competition.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Of course, Vizzini said Plato was a moron, but Vizzini wasn&#8217;t any good at fencing, so what did he know?
My 10-year old has been begging me to do fencing for months now.  We started with a little introductory class back in the fall, and ever since that was over, I have been nagged constantly.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>bacon, mushroom, and caramelized onion sandwich</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The name of this sandwich would have had me running to the other room if I were a kid.  Good thing those days of culinary naivete are over.
Because this was so good.

I made this today at Shannon&#8217;s house because the sun was finally out and I wanted to take some pictures for my portfolio, and [...]]]></description>

I am just now getting around to making my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions.  One of them is to eat healthier.  I am sorry I am just now starting off the year on sophistimom.  If I&#8217;m not mistaken, it&#8217;s February 1st.
On that note, I just want to thank you all for being so patient [...]]]></description>

		<title>every family has a picky eater. mine has three.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bet you&#8217;re all wondering where I&#8217;ve been.  I really have no excuse, other than the new place I moved into has almost no natural light, which means that taking pictures of food here has been a real problem.
But I&#8217;m working on it, and soon we&#8217;ll all be happy again.  In the meantime, while [...]]]></description>
