While campaigning, Obama asked a group of Iowans, &#8220;Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula? I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.”  Obama was trying to make a point that prices at grocery stores have risen, yet farmers haven&#8217;t seen their prices go up. Detractors were quick to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First things first.  Do not try and make a pumpkin pie with a Halloween pumpkin.  Halloween pumpkins are bred specifically for carving &#8211; thick skin, hollow inside.  Taste and consistency were not factors in the development of these varieties.  Since it&#8217;s December, there&#8217;s probably little chance you would try this&#8230;.but I thought  I&#8217;d warn you just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In need of a night out, the husband and I went exploring.  A new neighborhood sprung out of nowhere since we last lived in Denver, called ‘River North’ or RiNo for short.  So clever.  Blocks of industrial warehouses are becoming spaces for creative folk.  It was first Friday and the galleries were open.

We started early [...]]]></description>

His Mom&#8217;s sticky buns were impossible to resist.  Not to mention an ill-advised cheese steak and bavarian cream and chocolate covered elephant ear at the Hastings Summerfest.  Many years ago, I tried a juice cleanse [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Home from the farmers’ market around lunch time, my husband helped me unload my cache.  Casually, I inquired if he’d already eaten. 
 “A bowl of oatmeal about an hour ago,” he said. 
“Oh. That’s too bad,” I said without inflection.  “&#8217;Because I was going to make squash blossom quesadillas. I know. I’ll make the bitter melon recipe instead, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This squash reminds me of the movie Men In Black where Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are an alien crime-fighting duo.  (They’re not aliens. They’re fighting aliens.) The climactic scene occurs at the New York State Pavilion, site of the 1964 World’s Fair.  The alien villain scales the Pavilion’s towers, attempting to escape in [...]]]></description>
