		<title>Pink Floyd and Top Gear.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After 10+ hours in a very hot kitchen, I am enjoying an episode of Top Gear in which the hosts are trying out a Ferrari F60 Enzo owned by one Nick Mason. For the price of flogging his book, (hey, I might buy it) we get a Top Gear episode complete with Pink Floyd songs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Founders Curmudgeon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tried something a Founders Curmudgeon at Grumpy&#8217;s NE the other day. Founders is a small brewery from Grand Rapids, MI. I liked it, it was very good, not as boozy as one would expect from a 9.8 ABV beer. Probably move on to something else next time.]]></description>

		<title>CSA Week One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just received our first shipment of our CSA. Green onions, broccoli rabe, turnips, red leaf lettuce, arugula, and a big ole&#8217; head of bok choy. It has been fun to cook with! We mixed the lettuce and arugula together for salad greens. Made some pasta our of sauteed bacon and Broccolini rabe. Tomorrow, bok choy with mushrooms [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons Learned Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[El Chivo and La Cabra are two ways of saying goat, like bull and cow. So, the legendary Chupacabra prefers to suck the blood of female goats. Otherwise it would be Chupachivo. I asked a Thai person I work with if they have chupcabra in in Thailand, she says she doesn&#8217;t think so.]]></description>

		<title>Surly Schadenfreude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our good friends at Surly have decided to do a Dunkel style lager. Had a pint of it at Victory 44 the other day, and thought it was good. Kinda reminds me of the Bells 1554. Would be great with a reuben sandwich or something like that. Very smooth.]]></description>

		<title>10 Minutes to Close</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, as I was shutting everything down for the night, the ticket spitter kicked out a multi-course meal for two. Yay. As a younger cook, I would have probably freaked out on the server. As an older cook, I just keep my annoyance contained. And get some pasta water on, because I had succumbed [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sample Room @ Art-A-Whirl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though my currently insane 60 hour work schedule prevented my from enjoying much of Art-A-Whirl, I did happen to have Friday night off. The missus really wanted to check out what the Sample Room had going on. I have never really had a chance to walk down to the riverfront behind the restaurant, so this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Busy Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another night of gettin our asses kicked&#8230; but we still won in the end. Perhaps only by a field goal, but a W is a W.  We are short a cook this week, and also happen to be extremely busy&#8230; people just love that patio. And God bless em! That is how the mortgage gets [...]]]></description>

		<title>100 Degrees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight it was about 100 degrees in the kitchen. I am pretty sure a lost a few pounds in sweat. I am not actually sure if it is technically possible to lose weight that way, but it sure feels like it. I suppose that the complete lack of desire to actually eat anything even vaguely heavy probably [...]]]></description>
