		<title>Carbonara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I plan on revisiting Bolognese this weekend.  Until then, I need to use up some of my fresh ingredients.  This attempt is Spaghetti Carbonara.  This is a favorite of mine since I first tasted it in Morandi when I lived in the West Village.  One of my favorite things was to have brunch there, sitting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bolognese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my attention wavered.  It&#8217;s span is quite limited.   Aside from Bouchon, I also visited the Mario Batali &#8220;B&#38;B restaurant&#8221; while in Vegas.  I went for dinner twice and had both tasting menus.   Very inspirational as well, and I also purchased a couple Batali cookbooks when I returned.  I also happened to visit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soupe a l’Oignon – day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stock refrigerated over night, and now I know why they don&#8217;t strain it after chilling it.  The gelatin turned it into a big meaty jello.  I must have completely screwed it up the last couple times I tried this, because it never jello&#8217;d up like this.  Now that I think on it, I just went straight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soupe a l&#8217;Oignon &#8211; day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and found Bouchon.  I recognized it as a Thomas Keller restaurant and decided I had to try everything!  I went there 2 or 3 times a day for  about 7 days and did end up trying most of the items on the menu.   It was so good [...]]]></description>

		<title>A couple more Houston visits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve visited Houston a couple times since the last time I mentioned it.  A number of new photos that I&#8217;m preparing for an album.  In the mean time, here are a few choice photos]]></description>

		<title>Snow Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bit of a snow today.  They say there will be 12-17 inches in NYC before the day is done.  I left work early and took a few snaps on the way home. This is the view in the lobby at my office.  Can&#8217;t see it in the photo, but there is a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Espresso &#8211; Terza Parte</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been just under 2 weeks, and I&#8217;m still working on getting the technique correct. I&#8217;ve been going to the forums for help with troubleshooting.  I&#8217;ve been correcting things here and there, but apparently other things must be going wrong.  I think the next step is to have my portafilter modified.  I&#8217;m a little stuck [...]]]></description>

		<title>Espresso &#8211; Seconda Parte</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The espresso machine arrived and I spent a few hours yesterday and today figuring it all out.  I think I&#8217;ve just got to the point that I can operate the grinder properly!  It&#8217;s not as easy as it sounds.   The coffee, the machine and even how hard you tamp the coffee are all factors in [...]]]></description>
