		<title>Dark Days, Week 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ One of our favorite meals around here is tacos.&#160; We eat tacos up to as often as once a week (and would probably eat them more, but Jeff’s mom isn’t as enamored with them as we are.)&#160; Last night’s tacos were our Dark Days meal for the week:
- Rocking F Farm beef (Climax), organic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas food (Dark Days, Week 6)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s a variety of beliefs in my family, all the way from the ardently religious to the not so much.&#160; Christmas is, of course, an important religious for many in my family, but it’s also a huge family and cultural and food day for the rest of us.
Christmas is my dad’s family’s holiday (growing up, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home improvement project&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[… first of many.
The stairs to the basement in our house were “paneled” in this cheap, crappy, particleboard paneling that was already ripping off when we moved into the house.&#160; We took a look at it and said “Oh, hey.&#160; We could put shelves in the studs for pantry space.”
So Jeff started working on that [...]]]></description>

		<title>First garden project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first garden project was building a compost bin, since we’re I’m too cheap to buy one (there are some pickle barrel ones locally that look nice, but are pricey), but too finicky to just want to have a pile of compost sitting out in the back yard.&#160; 
The materials:

2 rolls of hardware cloth, half [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Days Week 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ We just got our first snow of the year.&#160; (I say first as if we’re going to get more.&#160; Winter in North Carolina is unpredictable.&#160; Some years we get no winter weather at all.&#160; Some years, we get quite a bit.&#160; This may be all we get this year.&#160; But 3 to 4 inches [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Days Week 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was no week 3.  There were some local ingredients in some meals, but there was no getting it together enough to fix an entirely local meal.
Last night, though, I roasted some chicken drumsticks from Rocking F Farm over some local potatoes and served them up with some local lettuce (we have hot house [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Days Challenge:  Week 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I fail at pictures for this entry.  The batteries were dead on the camera, so I took pictures with my phone, which are moderate sucky but okay if I edit them in Gimp.  
However, every time I try to email myself the pictures, my phone reboots itself.
So, imagine, if you will, two local [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Days Challenge, Week 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;re participating in the third annual Dark Days Challenge, dedicated to local eating during the winter.  Our good food habits have been slipping a bit lately, and I wanted to work on being mindful of them.  This seemed a good way to get started.
My mother-out-law made dinner (I am seriously lucky) Thursday [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Bought a House!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As Joyce mentioned in her last post, we bought a house!  3br, 1ba, on an acre of land just outside of Greensboro.  We&#8217;re in love with it.  It is a bit of a fixer-upper, not because the house is old but because the previous owners started a number of improvements and only [...]]]></description>

		<title>there&#8217;s a blog here, eh?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if we&#8217;ll start blogging regularly again &#8211; Jeff keeps making noises about it &#8211; but I&#8217;ve signed us up for the Dark Days Challenge, so posts will start appearing about that.  Also, Jeff&#8217;s mom moved in with us last year &#8211; did we ever mention that? &#8211; and we bought a [...]]]></description>

Chicken Taco Soup
Chickpea Patty Burgers
Baked Chicken and Wild Rice
Middle Eastern Couscous Salad
Wild Rice Waldorf Salad
Roasted Corn Chowder

The two main reasons this blog lapsed into disuse were: 1) We kept finding ourselves in food ruts where we were making the same handful of dishes over and over again, and 2) Joyce was doing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello all,
My goodness, how life happens to you.  Nothing bad on this end, just busy, with lots of changes.  You know how it is.
We have some new ideas for this blog.  I&#8217;ve dusted the place out and spruced it up a bit.  I hope you like it.  More minor changes [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Local Summer 2008:  Week 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, a few years ago, Liz over at the now-defunct Pocket Farm started this thing called One Local Summer:  a challenge designed to get people to make a meal with locally raised ingredients one meal a week.  We&#8217;ve participated for the last two years, and this year, I&#8217;m coordinating for the Southern region. [...]]]></description>

This week, we came home with eggs, cucumbers, peaches, cheese, lettuce (one head of red and one head of green), some gorgeous ground beef, bulk pork sausage, a beautiful chunk of cube steak, yellow squash, and some of the first tomatoes of the season [...]]]></description>
