		<title>Berry picking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was growing up, late summer was the time to go blueberry picking. We would head off into the woods armed with buckets and covered in insect repellent. Of course, we knew where the big bushes were that would give us the biggest yield. Returning home with buckets full of blueberries, we would then [...]

		<title>Cheese and Salami Savory Pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the savory pie, or torta rustica, is a traditional Easter dish, it also lends itself well to summertime since it is served at room temperature. That means you can cook it ahead of time in the early morning when the temperatures are still relatively cool and keep it refrigerated until about an hour before [...]

		<title>Crispy Oven-Baked Zucchini</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, I worked as an IT Call Center Manager. Many of you may not realize it, but it&#8217;s actually a very stressful job or, at least, it was where I worked. Our calls ranged from the mundane to the critical where we had a store with all of the registers not working and [...]

		<title>Mrs. Clean where are you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that Italians have the cleanest homes in Europe? That&#8217;s rather daunting for a slacker like me. Yes, I admit it, I don&#8217;t have the cleanest house around and I definitely don&#8217;t measure up to the rest of the Italians. So, it&#8217;s no surprise when I say that I feel rather self-conscious when [...]

		<title>Homecoming month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They come in droves and the population of all the little towns in the area triples and even quadruples. These misplaced Abruzzese now live in various places like Milan, Bologna, Florence, or even further away like Belgium, France, Germany, Australia and the United States. They, or in some cases their parents, left in search of [...]

		<title>Crispy Risotto Croquettes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I promised a second dish made from my leftover tomato and pepper risotto. First though, I have to give credit to my inspiration. There are two different dishes that consist of fried balls of rice here in Italy. One is the supplì and the other is the arancino. The supplì is more of a football [...]

		<title>Don’t give me that!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I&#8217;ve got a gripe. What is it with people who think they can just give things to your child? I know that most of the time it&#8217;s not done to be nasty, but sometimes I just wish people would stop and think first. The other day I wrote about Luigi being sugar sensitive. [...]

		<title>Tomato and Pepper Risotto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every day we&#8217;ve got a glut of garden produce. Not that I&#8217;m complaining, mind you, but besides freezing and canning, I&#8217;ve been using them in various dishes. It&#8217;s nice to know where the produce came from and how it was grown. On one of his last trips out to the garden O brought back a [...]

		<title>Hold the sugar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems the Luigi is very sensitive to sugar. We didn&#8217;t discover this right away because we actually don&#8217;t give him very much sugar to begin with, so it wasn&#8217;t obvious. He doesn&#8217;t get any packaged cakes, no sugary cereal and we&#8217;re not constantly giving him candy like I notice other kids eating. Maybe it [...]
