		<title>La Loma Jungle Lodge &amp; Chocolate Farm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Robert and I travel, we like to get away from it all as much as possible. Cell phones and iPads? We leave those at home. Posh accommodations with nightly turndown service? Not our style! Reliable electricity and hot water? Don’t need it. We know we are in the right place when a flashlight is [...]]]></description>

		<title>NY Dining Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert and I spent the second part of our vacation in New York City. New York City has a reputation for being home to just about any type of food or cuisine you can imagine. Although DC had a few surprises, most of it was food we had seen before. In New York, we made a point of seeking [...]]]></description>

		<title>DC Dining Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert and I just returned from a fantastic vacation to Washington, DC and New York City. I had never been to either place before so I was determined to soak up as much city life as possible. Naturally, my biggest priority would be to check out the local food &#038; drink scene. Our first stop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Willows Inn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, I had the opportunity to dine at the Willows Inn on Lummi Island. The Willows Inn restaurant has been receiving nonstop accolades ever since Blaine Wetzel took over as head chef in 2010. The New York Times declared it one of ten restaurants worth a plane ride. Chef Wetzel, who is only in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mapo Tofu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve become really interested in Chinese food over the past few months. Perhaps it is due to the recent explosion of Chinese restaurants opening up in my neighborhood, or maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve started fully embracing meat as part of my diet and am now free to enjoy all of China&#8217;s wonderful meat-based dishes. Whatever [...]]]></description>

		<title>A North African Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My family continued our tradition of bouncing around the globe for Christmas Eve dinner. This year, we landed on North Africa! This is a region we&#8217;ve never explored which meant experimenting with lots of new spices and flavors. We were inspired in part by Golden Beetle, a new Mediterranean and North African restaurant close to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tomato Harvest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After decades of apartment living, one of the things I was most excited about when Robert and I bought our home last year was finally having my own outdoor patio. Although we were heading into winter when we moved in and wouldn’t be able use it right away, I spent all winter and spring imagining [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sangrita</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert and I recently traveled to Santa Fe for a family wedding. On the day of the big event, just as we were getting ready to head out the door, we were overcome by a serious storm. I&#8217;m talking hail the size of grapes and the fiercest rain I’ve ever seen. Leaving the house was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summertime Grillin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living in the city certainly has its advantages—our neighborhood has a couple of great community parks and many of our favorite restaurants are within walking distance. One of the downsides of city life is having limited personal outdoor space. After spending the last decade and a half living in apartments without any deck or balcony [...]]]></description>
