		<title>Lent &amp; Spring Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lent has continued to be more exhausting than my usual &#8220;Lenten Retreat.&#8221;  Week 2 included more music, less cooking, some minor sewing, ongoing reading, and (most important) the start of the 2010 Baseball Spring Training Season!
Music
I hadn&#8217;t been to Jazz Ensemble practice in almost a month (due to snow, vacation days, etc.).  This week my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lent 2010: Week 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been up to during the first week of Lent.  Giving up Facebook has provided time and energy for other projects.
Cooking
I decided not to obsess over food-related Lenten disciplines, though I have managed to do without cookies and cakes.  After finishing off last week&#8217;s Baked Rigatoni and Italian Herb Focaccia, I brewed up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shrove Tuesday &amp; Ash Wednesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Spent today, Ash Wednesday, recovering from overindulgence on Shrove Tuesday*.  My traditional Shrove Tuesday* involves pancakes, not running drunk &#38; naked through the streets of New Orleans, but it is still possible to overindulge, especially when you attend TWO pancake events in one day.  At noon I had pancakes prepared by a British gentleman (which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turkey Mushroom Rice Casserole Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year!  Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
Apologies for long delay between posts.  Ho Ho Ho drained all my energy.
Much of my attention right now is directed toward the earthquake in Haiti (7.0 on Tuesday January 13, 2010), but I will need some more time to process before I blog about that . . [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rant of the Day &#8211; Smoke Detectors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past four nights one of my smoke detectors (one of the fancy dual sensor ionization/photoelectric kind) has been beeping in the middle of the night.  Each morning I replace the battery and everything seems fine, until the house gets cold, and then the thing starts beeping again . . . yesterday I went [...]]]></description>

		<title>Squash Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Took advantage of a rain delay in tonight&#8217;s ballgame to post my latest recipe:  Curried Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.  Feel free to play around with this one and let me know how it works out.
Time to go heat up a bowl for myself!

		<title>City Noir</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disgusted with poor umpiring, the stretched out playoff schedule (which I can only assume was designed by the TV networks), and rather sloppy play, I skipped baseball last night and watched a different LA event: Great Performances broadcast of Gustavo Dudamel&#8217;s Inaugural Gala and Opening Night Concert with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Minestrone and a new way to cook beans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It snowed last night and actually stuck to the ground . . . pretty early for the Twin Cities . . . melted by afternoon, but more expected tonight.  As soon as the weather forecast said &#8220;snow&#8221;, I started thinking about soup.  So yesterday I stocked up on onions and celery and carrots [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twins in Nailbiter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for the 2 months between posts.  Too much Facebooking.
I have updated some of the recipes by adding photos (see Apple Cake, Evil Jungle Prince with Chicken, and Thai Eggplant with Broccoli/Bok Choi).
Baseball continues to be exciting, at least in the American League Central.  Once again the Twins are battling with the Tigers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angels no Blessing to the Twins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well that was a painful series to listen to (didn&#8217;t watch much of it).  Three Twins losses to the LAAA (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim)boys; 11-5, 11-6, 13-4.  Yikes!  
Let&#8217;s hope they rest up tomorrow and then do better against the Cleveland Indians.
Not sure what to say about the Cabrera trade . [...]]]></description>
