		<description><![CDATA[It is apple season again. Time for pie and cider and eating out of hand. Time for wondering where these variously charming and exotic names of these heirlooms and hybrids came from: cox orange pippin, jonafree, fameuse, sunrise. I think of apples as a comfort fruit. I like them prepared simply. A bit of sugar, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love peaches. The summer after I graduated from college, I worked at a farmers market fruit stand, and after crawling out of bed bleary-eyed at 5:00 am on Saturday mornings and taking the bus up to a parking lot where I&#8217;d unload a truck and set up tables and a tent and load little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[September is back. And I find, still, that I miss school. I miss the stuff of it. It&#8217;s been too many years since I&#8217;ve bought school supplies. No crisp clean notebooks, no colored pencils, no folders, no protractors, no scientific calculators. No Trapper Keepers. There is hardly any Velcro in my life. I miss the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s something about this meal that is just so honest. It isn&#8217;t flashy. Or even particularly pretty. It is eggplant, slumped and simmered. Simple. Weeknights beg for meals like this. For things you can set on the stove while you relax and open a bottle of not-too-expensive red wine while you pad around the apartment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The market has been full of beautiful peppers. The usual bell peppers in red, orange, yellow and green, jalapeños, Hungarian wax, Trinidadian perfume, poblanos, and fiery habañeros. They are bright and inviting, but to be honest, I hardly know what to do with most of them. Oh, I use bell peppers in all sorts of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a hot summer in Chicago. This July and August we&#8217;ve watched the mercury climb into the nineties more days than I care to count. Too many. I&#8217;m not a hot weather kind of girl, give me seventies and a light breeze along the lake, and I&#8217;ll take eighties with a cool drink, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t they look lovely? A little bit exotic? I know I&#8217;ve seen them before, sitting in baskets at the farmers market, pale and papery, like tiny tomatillos or ornamental lanterns. I knew they were commonly called ground cherries, and they always seemed intriguing, but somehow, until this morning I had never eaten one. I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tuscans have a way with beans. If I came away from my year in Italy learning one thing about food, it was this. As much as I love pizza and fresh pasta and gelato, and, oh, do I love those foods, my most memorable meal on the boot shaped peninsula involved none of them. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are in the bleak mid-winter in Chicago, the ground crusted with snow, the wind face-bitingly, finger-numbingly cold. Apart from the rare bit of blue sky peaking out at us today, we have been living in a pallet of whites and muted grays. I am getting tired of pilling scarves and hats and salt stained [...]]]></description>

Or stop by the freezer case in the grocery store and pick up something I can have done in fifteen minutes. Or maybe just have some [...]]]></description>
