		<title>sausage and kale soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My good friend Erin Summerill, likes to drag me to the Olive Garden, or the OG, as she calls it. She seems to have a never ending supply of coupons to that place. Though I prefer other restaurants in town, like Pizzeria 712, I do like their soup with the sausage and kale, which they [...]]]></description>

		<title>coeur à la crème with balsamic strawberries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always wanted to make one of these. Isn&#8217;t it beautiful? I saw Martha Stewart make one once, and then Ina Garten made one on her show. When Gojee.com invited me to a virtual potluck, I knew I had to share one. A coeur à la crème (french for &#8220;cream heart&#8221;) is basically cream cheese, [...]]]></description>

		<title>salted caramel squares</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you tried those salted caramel squares at Starbucks yet? Whenever I get a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate or a Caramel Apple Cider, I always buy a salted caramel square, too. They&#8217;re tiny little pieces of joy. And I love them. It&#8217;s quite often that I want one, but I&#8217;m not near a Starbucks. I do live [...]]]></description>

		<title>mascarpone passionfruit fool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since today is my birthday, I thought it was only fitting that I should post an incredibly easy, incredibly indulgent recipe. Awhile back, when I saw my favorite grocery store was selling passionfruit, I bought up as many as I could afford. Just so I could have them. They&#8217;re usually quite tricky to find, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>how to break in a book binding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The English language is a funny thing, especially when &#8220;breaking-in&#8221; something is what you do to prevent something from breaking. But there it is. I love hardcover books. The quality of paper the printers use is generally of a higher quality, and the bindings tend to last longer. But a good binding will only last [...]]]></description>

		<title>how to rag your hair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rag curls always remind me of A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In the movie I used to watch as a girl, Sara has her hair tied up in rags when she finds out her father is dead and she is to work as a servant girl at Miss Minchin&#8217;s school for girls. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>candied orange peel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the perfect gift to make for someone when you&#8217;re a little short on cash. Since it&#8217;s made from sugar, and something you would normally throw away, it&#8217;s the ultimate way to recycle. Although they&#8217;re delicious plain, I dipped some of them in chocolate, and chopped others to sprinkle on top of chocolate lollipops. [...]]]></description>

		<title>caramel filled hi hat cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or pure sugar. Just call me Paula Deen. These things are so loaded with sugar that every well-intentioned parent is going to come after me with hate mail in the comments section. In fact, if you&#8217;re from Europe, don&#8217;t even make these. They&#8217;re way too sweet. Though I had trouble eating these with all their [...]]]></description>

		<title>white pumpkin pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I bought this perfect white pumpkin with this lovely long stem, I had big dreams to carve it into a jack-o-lantern. But somehow, whenever I start to carve pumpkins, I lose interest, along with all desire to be creative. It&#8217;s sticky, the knives are difficult to wield, and I can never make them as [...]]]></description>

		<title>chicken soup with heart-shaped carrots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once, when I was in high school, my brother&#8217;s girlfriend got sick. He made a pot of chicken soup for her and cut the carrots into little butterflies. Later, she made him some soup as well, but cut the carrots into little hearts. I pretty much thought they were geniuses, and have copied their idea [...]]]></description>
