		<title>vegan valentine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy February! Do you love or loathe v-day? I&#8217;m pretty indifferent about the sentiment &#8211; I shower my Nate with affection year &#8217;round, not just on the 14th &#8211; but I adore all the treats. One helpful thing about having been vegan for years is that I&#8217;ve been able to try a wide variety&#8230; and sporting a [...]]]></description>

		<title>eating my hat: steam-frying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where do you stand on no-fat-added cooking? If you&#8217;re a vegan who reads cookbooks and keeps up with blogs, you&#8217;re likely familiar with the concept of &#8220;steam-frying&#8221; in particular. I first became acquainted with it years ago, via Bryanna Clark Grogan&#8217;s Almost-No-Fat Cookbooks and Vegan Feast blog. Isa covered it in Appetite for Reduction, released [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Chinese New Year! &#8216;Tis the year of the Dragon, and it just so happens that I live with one. Yup, it&#8217;s Nate&#8217;s time to shine! And why not? I read yesterday that &#8220;dragons&#8230;tend to be brave, innovative and highly driven, regularly making it to the top of their profession.&#8221; Now, I don&#8217;t put much stock into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[what up, internet pals. There&#8217;s a bonsai tree at the entrance of my new neighborhood. Every time I see it I imagine it saying, &#8220;what up. welcome back. You live here now.&#8221; It helps the sting of a thrown-together, last-minute, surprise move to a new neighborhood with new lifeways and new opportunities. Honestly, though, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy new year, folks. Hope day three is pleasant for you. Here in Atlanta it began with surprisingly low temperatures, even a little snow! (Nothing stuck.) I&#8217;m sitting at my new desk with a cup of dancong aria, belly full of oatmeal, happy to be inside. Soon I&#8217;ll write about my unofficial new year&#8217;s resolutions, [...]]]></description>

		<title>final meal deliveries of 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final weeks of 2011 were good ones for the meal delivery. I aimed to show my enthusiasm and gratitude for my loyal clientele by putting together some prettier-than-usual food. Serenbe Farms made this easier by providing a complimentary share of produce for the first delivery. Note: authors&#8217; names are included because I value giving [...]]]></description>

		<title>these days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[hello friends, another general living update. This has been a great week. Chattanooga treated us exceptionally well &#8211; Rock City was gorgeous and we had no problem finding tons of delicious vegan food (AKA Sluggo&#8217;s). Even the coffee shop had soymilk and stevia. But that&#8217;s all for another post. On Wednesday we celebrated our actual [...]]]></description>

Thanks to friend Vic for encouraging me to write. :) This week I&#8217;m looking forward to the Crack the Plates Thanksgiving pick-up orders.
