		<title>Let&#8217;s be average</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just yesterday I saw this posting on Facebook. The story goes: A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was &#8220;This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?&#8221; The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) [...]

		<title>I scream, you scream, we all scream for&#8230; arrosticini</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer was filled with barbecues and the occasional sagra. Some of them, quite frankly, aren’t worth going to. But the absolute best summer food to be had in Abruzzo, and Luigi’s all-time favorite, are arrosticini. Arrosticini are basically mutton on a wooden skewer, but don’t think of the traditional shish-kabob with big hunks of meat. [...]

		<title>Another first</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that Luigi is 3 years old he’s started asilo. I’ll admit I was rather torn about the whole thing. On the one hand I was feeling sentimental and not wanting my little boy to go away to school all day (it lasts from 9 am to 4 pm) but on the other hand I [...]

		<title>Pacchianella 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The summer season has been officially kicked off here in town with our yearly festival, the Pacchianella. This year was the first time that Luigi participated even though there are some little babies that get all dressed up for the day. We didn’t go all out and decorate a tractor or make a display, instead [...]

		<title>Miss Manners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You would think that what counts as rude or impolite would be basically the same no matter where you go, especially when dealing with a European country, however you would be mistaken. I’m often amazed by the differences between what counts as impolite here compared to back in the states and vice versa. For example, [...]

		<title>Roasted Vegetable Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s that time of year again when fresh vegetables are abundant. Although the ones in our garden are far from ready, there are still plenty at the market or greengrocer. I can’t resist the shiny red peppers, mottled green zucchini and deep purple eggplant (those would be courgettes and aubergines to any Brits out there). [...]

		<title>Another birthday has come and gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday my little boy turned 3 years old. It seems like just yesterday that he was this little boy. Now he&#8217;s this little boy. Watching your children grow is a bittersweet experience. There are days when I wish I could just stop time right now &#8211; now, when he&#8217;s old enough to start making [...]

		<title>Replaced by a bunch of animals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the end of an era &#8211; one which started innocently enough but went against everything I had ever believed. You see, before having a child, I &#8220;knew&#8221; certain things, which later turned out to be a lot different from what I had always believed. One of those things was that you should never sleep [...]

		<title>Time, time, time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of my preconceived notions have been swept away. Do you remember what it was like before your child was born? Oh the plans and ideas. I pretty much had the first three months figured out ahead of time. Nothing there really surprised me. It was later that I got surprised. My mind was made [...]
