		<title>Food Tasting Walking Tour of LA&#8217;s Original Farmers Market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

		
		
		
		On the hoof again. Larry and I love the kind of activity that combines walking + touring + eating. This Farmers Market Walking Food Tour by Melting Pot Tours was right up our alley. In fact, this was our second MPT, our first was a few months back when we took their great Walking Food [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chocolate-Covered Pink Peppermint Patties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		Homemade peppermint patties.&#160; Wonder “why?” Well, I once made marshmallows and proclaimed them infinitely better than bagged ones. Not sure I’d make THEM again, but I’ll definitely do these! Just about anybody can make Pink Peppermint Patties. The results are vastly superior to store-bought (read: mmmm FRESH). I will go so far as to call [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tangerine Tart with Cookie Crust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For more than a decade, I’ve held onto this Sunset Magazine page. You see, the prolific tangerine tree that came with this house disappeared the day our yard was demo’d for landscaping. Waaaaa. Not sure why I never just bought fruit to make the tart; maybe I was insecure.]]></description>

		<title>Road Trip: On The Hunt for Ojai’s Pixie Tangerines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		
My niece, Danielle, and I were on the hunt for the most awesome of snacks, the Pixie Tangerine. They only grow in Ojai. The region produces just enough to keep the best local stores and farmer’s markets supplied and then, BUMMER, gone ‘til next season (March through summer). If Larry and I hadn’t attended a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Milk Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		&#160; It’s a long story getting to these macaroons, starting with the chocolate. On the way home from niece Nicole’s wedding in San Diego, we stopped at John and Gail’s. Gail had “too much” chocolate from an Erie, PA store called Stefanelli’s Candies. I took some off her hands.
 
Next day was my cookie-decorating at [...]]]></description>

		 The Gourmet Club tries to meet four times a year. That’s four couples, each responsible for a theme, a date at their home and wrangling the calendars of the rest of us. We’ve had some luscious eats: Cuban, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Men’s Meal (Hawaiian is upcoming) in the three-plus years this has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Backstory on Camp Blogaway Bootcamp for Food Bloggers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past summer it struck me, there are plenty of blogging conferences out there, but none offered the specific focus of deconstructing food blogs and teaching how to better each important element, Food Blogging University of sorts.

		<title>Crockpot Overnight Apple Oatmeal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m just thrilled with the fact that steel cut oatmeal can be easy to make. Waking up to the aroma of hot cinnamon and apples is lovely -- breakfast is ready even before the coffee perks! This recipe includes fruit and nuts, healthy.]]></description>

So when he suggested to me, plus friends Cathi and Barry to buzz around Long Beach (CA) on Segway two-wheeled electric vehicles, YEAH. Was it really, REALLY fun? “Better than I actually expected,” was Larry’s review and he was right.]]></description>

Not this Pork with Thai Green Curry Sauce, which we’ve made several times since Larry and I attended a class by prolific cookbook author and culinary camp creator, Hugh Carpenter. ]]></description>

		<title>Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies</title>

		<title>A Valentine&#8217;s Meal You Can Do, Sherie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sherie and I were great pals in high school. She’s since raised three boys into independent grown men. Has been married forever. So I was surprised when she recently told me she “cannot cook.” Or doesn’t cook. Or is afraid to cook, the conversation was spotty since we were with a group of 15 fellow RHHS gal pals. But I didn’t forget it.]]></description>

And honestly, with the exception of our four-couple Gourmet Club cook-a-thons, I’m too cheap to attempt something that a nice restaurant would produce beautifully and effortlessly. ]]></description>

		<title>Travel to Barbados, Friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		 Barbados is a little bit of heaven. Nothing here is pushy. No one’s hand feels like it’s in your pocket. I’d call it an “easy” destination. Larry and I take lots of vacations, and we tend to visit places that are hard, challenging, rough, complicated &#8212; on purpose, don’t get me wrong. Antarctica isn’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flying Fish Barbados Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		Visiting Barbados? I won’t be the first to tell you &#8211;you will eat flying fish at some point there. Didn’t sound too appetizing, considering how unnerving those critters can be flapping their way across the surface of water. Always creeped me out. Until I met one… battered and fried, with a side of Bajan Macaroni [...]]]></description>
