		<title>the husband</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not the kind of person who likes to go around talking about my husband all the time. Sure, I&#8217;m rather fond of the tall, bald guy who occupies half (sometimes a little more) of my bed, but I don&#8217;t feel the need to slip him into every single conversation or drag him everywhere I [...]]]></description>

		<title>at long last: stuffed shells</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one is for my dad, who&#8217;s been waiting patiently for a new post. In fact, we made some awesome muffins together in May that have yet to grace these pages. Sorry, Daddy! Enjoy this one. Every now and then a gal has to revert to her teenage years to maintain a little sanity, whether [...]]]></description>

		<title>stir-fry &#8230; deconstructed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amusing to me how, on shows like &#8220;Top Chef&#8221; and &#8220;Chopped,&#8221; contestants (or &#8220;cheftestants,&#8221; which has to be the most annoying word ever) are always making deconstructed dishes. In my plebeian understanding of cooking, this means they separate all the elements of a dish to be &#8230; fancy or something, I don&#8217;t know. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>sky farmers market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(DG note: I started this entry three weeks ago and never got a chance to finish it. As most of you know, I travel quite a bit for work and am therefore largely unavailable for dumbassery. Great news, though &#8212; travel season is over until August!) Today (April 10 &#8212; ed. note) is the opening [...]]]></description>

		<title>pesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m apparently on a nostalgic trip back to my days as an undergrad, I&#8217;ll tell you now the story about how I came to love pesto. It was probably my first or second senior year when Dawn came to work at Manser Dining Hall, the food destination of choice for Mansfield University students. Dawn&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>honey mustard pork chops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first time I ate asparagus, I was on a date in New York City. I was wearing my favorite polka-dot dress with the ribbon that tied around my waist and my ankle-strap heels, and I was with a boy named Cory who wanted very much to impress me. We stopped at a little Italian [...]]]></description>

		<title>DG dinner party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It gets exhausting being a dumbass all the time, so when our friends R and J offered to come over and make dinner for us, I almost peed my pants with joy (as opposed to peeing my pants because I&#8217;m getting old). It&#8217;s a little bit sad that our apartment kitchen is the largest of [...]]]></description>

		<title>DG on the road: shrimp scampi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I blame it on the USA Network. See, we had plans today. We were going to check out the beach (although, regretfully, it&#8217;s too cold for even a quick wade in the waves) and visit a little seafood place called Slightly Up the Creek. We woke up mid-morning, refreshed from our New Year&#8217;s Eve revelry, [...]]]></description>

		<title>DG on the road: scallops and such</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel as though I owe my loyal blogreaders an explanation for this extended absence, and it is this: I have been busy like you would not believe. Between roller derby, teaching two classes, and embarking upon a new profession as an admissions counselor for WKU, I was lucky to grab five minutes to scarf [...]]]></description>

		<title>porcupine balls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t go in my kitchen. Seriously. It&#8217;s gross in there, like a cesspool of tomato sauce and salmonella. It&#8217;s been a busy couple days, so I thought I would take advantage of an afternoon off to make another of my mother&#8217;s fabulous recipes: porcupine balls. They&#8217;re basically meatballs with rice in them (which, in a [...]]]></description>
