		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it&#8217;s all about memory. After a weekend of seemingly endless stacking of wood, cooking various hot sauces, and cooking out of our out-of-control refrigerator, Monday night I wanted something comforting. Preferably nothing that looked like anything in our refrigerator. I wanted tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and that deep fried crisp taste of an old-time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first encounter with homegrown meat was in my first year in grad school. I was living in Belchertown, about 15 miles from Amherst, in a sprawling old faramhouse in the center of town. Only one of my housemates was a student. Of the other two, one was a horsewoman and, among other things, worked [...]]]></description>

An old man gives the recipe for his wife&#8217;s chili, which is really an expression of their love for each [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In New York this past weekend, I had a chance to try the Sabrett&#8217;s onion sauce on a dirty water dog. It was more tomato-y than I remembered, tasting like there was a shot of ketchup in it. The onions were completely cooked through, but not mushy. No taste of vinegar, but sweetness that could [...]]]></description>

Rows of tiny bungalows, a boardwalk and a beach. For an apartment house boy, it was heaven. The boardwalk extended from Beach 1st street to around Beach [...]]]></description>

Her deviled eggs, enhanced with pieces of pickle and mayonnaise grace every family gathering. Her mother made them. They are part of every Southern picnic and I could, and often do, eat four or five, then sneak [...]]]></description>

On Monday, it was my stepdaughter&#8217;s husband Sam&#8217;s birthday. He wanted paella so I volunteered to make it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine, Domenica Marchatti, wrote that she hated to see mums at the supermarket. Aside from the confusion of several readers who thought that she had something against British mothers, I knew immediately what she meant. The smell of apples ripening as I biked past the local orchards was always tinged with dread. [...]]]></description>

I plan to buy a half-dozen [...]]]></description>

She called me last night to say she&#8217;d been at a senior center, gotten into an accordian recital and left, feeling very unhappy. When she got home, she said to herself that it was 1:00 and she wasn&#8217;t going to [...]]]></description>
