		<title>Color Theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When considering a balanced meal, Mrs. Henry thinks of complementary colors.
Composing a menu she employs a palate fully as pleasing to the eye as to the tongue. This is not a casual belief.  She maintains firmly as an article of nutritional science that color and taste are linked. Good color matches make for good flavor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Push cart peddlers clog New York streets! Mayor LaGuardia up in arms!
&#160;


&#160;
In 1936 the mayor rose up in anger against immigrants clogging the streets hawking wares from push carts. Your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore? Phooey. LaGuardia thought them positively unsanitary.

		<title>Snipping parsley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

What does Christina Hendricks eat? Anything she likes, it seems.
On her divine frame those extra winter pounds find graceful placement.
While winter sinks its chill fangs deep into our bones, a fortunate few may take comfort in knowing they can sink their own teeth into a hearty meal without worrying too much about over-indulging.
In winter it’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five stages of Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beware the Ides of February, the  Roman feast of Lupercalia subsumed by Christian doctrine into the festival of St. Valentine.

On this day birds choose their mates, Cupid’s arrows strike the unsuspecting, and men offer gifts to demonstrate that attested bonds of love hold fast.
When calendar-driven holidays loom ahead, especially those holidays with obligatory gift-giving requirements, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michael Pollan is your Bubbeh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After explaining how certain plants have co-evolved through human cultivation (The Botany of Desire), after explaining why fakockteh factory frankenfoods are ruining our bodies and our planet (The Omnivore’s Dilemma), and after laying out an eater’s manifesto for the age (In Defense of Food), now Michael Pollan is laying down the law about exactly what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cauldron Bubble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Why are Kathy and Bernard the ideal dinner guests? Because they bring their own dinner.
Saturday night Bernard braised a rack of pork in a marvelous dozen little artichokes, a few golden beets, garlic, chicken stock, white wine and some fresh chervil (also known as “gourmet’s parsley”). The sweetness of pork and beets nicely balanced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Impaling your bird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Mr. Henry is wary of gadgetry in the kitchen. He likes his old waiter’s corkscrew and his old hand-crank can-opener. If he needs to slice and dice, he takes a knife out of the drawer.


To this bastion of conservative family values one fine day Mrs. Henry, normally a woman to abjure gimcrackery, brings home [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sour grass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Death, divorce, and debt – the glorious three “d’s” of Sotheby’s and Christies – currently bedevil the extended Henry family, though fortunately not the immediate household. Mrs. Henry believes in keeping up routines and does not countenance such prodigality.
Christmas holidays likewise bring forth a perpetual wellspring of objects seeking new ownership – apple corers, nutcrackers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Top Chef Effect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Vegetarianism doesn’t seem to have penetrated snow country. Here in the mountain aerie of The Canyons at Park City, shining ersatz village on a hill, meat is what’s for dinner, in particular exotic meats like elk and bison. Salads are topped with bacon bits, duck confit, and other meaty delicacies. Although they won’t become [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t play with your food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoever thought vegetables would become the subject of such impassioned debate?
Arguing her points well, ChaChaHeels sent a long and very eloquent post about vegetarianism. For those who wish to eat responsibly, ethically, and nutritiously, it is not enough simply to avoid meat. Genetically modified organisms (GMO) lurk everywhere, sometimes even in organic crops. Seed DNA [...]]]></description>
