		<title>Recipe: Lavender-Lime Scones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fresh out of bed, I was set on doing what I&#8217;d done the last few Sunday mornings: whip up buttermilk biscuits. Then I saw @writingherstory&#8216;s tweet about  Lemon-Lavender scones, and was sufficiently intrigued. I went through the ingredient list and thought I&#8217;d give it a go even though was out of lemons and fat-free yogurt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farm Dispatch: The Washington County Fair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week Charlie took us to the 119th Washington County Fair, one of an ever-shrinking number agricultural expositions around the country. Growing up I&#8217;d been to the Harford Fair but never actually witnessed livestock judging, or a tractor pull, for that matter and tried my best to make up for that. Watching kids pull (and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farm Dispatch: Bob&#8217;s Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Typically, when given a choice I&#8217;ll pick quality over quantity. Luckily enough for me, one does not have to make that decision at Bob&#8217;s Lunch. A hungry diner can go in, sit down, have a chat with co-owner Rodney Moore, and within a few minutes begin eating a freshly cooked local Vermont hamburger. We knew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farm Dispatch: The Donut King (Cambridge, NY)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should be no surprise that The Gourmetro loves doughnuts. Yeasty or cakey, we&#8217;ll take a good one however it comes and Charlie showed us some of the best. Hidden away in the sleepy hamlet of Cambridge, James King (pictured above), his wife Jana (never pictured), and his mother, make up a sort of doughnut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farm Dispatch: Mucking the Barn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After clearing about two dozen goats and alpaca out of the barn&#8217;s shade, Adam, Dan, and I proceeded to clear out two weeks of, well, muck. Thankfully, heat and humidity were relatively low and the flies stayed with the animals. Luring them out into the field went well for 15 of them, but a handful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dispatches from the Farm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So far, I have found the chickens to be largely suspicious, the goats rowdy, and the sheep largely indifferent on the American Masala Farm in New York state&#8217;s green and hilly Upstate region. As some of you may know, I will be staying here for the next few weeks collecting eggs, feeding goats, building fences, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ciao, Bellini!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chilton County peaches are one of the great benefits of living in Alabama. From early June through August, these sweet, drippingly juicy gems make life worth living. For the last few days I have eaten between two and five of them.Whole, sliced, diced, and pureed, with yogurt, thinly sliced prosciutto, and au natural, they are [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the Biga deal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bread is not for the dabbler. At least in my mind, the sponges, starters, and not least, the yeast aren&#8217;t terribly friendly to the uninitiated. I have recently worked around bakers and it really made me want to come home to freshly baked bread. My last experience baking bread was a 14 hour French loaf [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roquefort riot!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you all heard about our imperiled Roquefort? Basically, because the EU refuses to import American hormone-blasted meat &#8211; which, if you had a choice, would you? &#8211; the Bush administration decided to place a prohibitively high tariff (300%??!!) on Roquefort and other specialty European goods.  Not that President Obama can’t undo this ridiculous tariff, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manditory Macaroon Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I could not help but write a post on macaroons (macaron in french, where it sounds like macaroni [minus the ee sound at the end]). I have been obsessed with them for a while, making them for myself, and graciously accepting them as gifts. Dutifully, on our first day here Kim brought us to her [...]]]></description>
