		<title>We are members, one of another</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across theologian and historian Martin Marty discussing building cultures of trust on Speaking of Faith (first person). Check it out!
Such cultures of trust and relationships of depth and constancy will be our only hope as we move through fear, greed, scarcity and judgment. Marty is moved by the sentiment that &#8220;we are members, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Salsa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tasted this most delicious salsa of my mother&#8217;s creation last week, and came back to Richmond with a craving.
I have all of the ingredients expect the bell peppers (I could use canned tomatoes). (Un)fortunately, I can&#8217;t buy peppers in January without a lot of guilt. So I sent a hope out into the universe, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Local coffeeshops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I and the folks I hang out with are often distressed that we don&#8217;t have more/any (depends on who you ask) great local coffeeshops to hang out in, or other establishments that showcase local talent and products.
Our town is ~36,000 people.
The town I grew up in is ~6,000 people, and have a fabulous local coffeeshop. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moderation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel a resistance to the idea that &#8220;most things are fine in moderation.&#8221; I am not a moderate person, and tend to enjoy experiencing things in extremes. For example, strawberries are my very favorite food. I have this idea that I would be a more enlightened person if I found the first strawberry of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving hams to thieves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile I hear a story about someone transforming a moment of violence or theft, and I am moved. It&#8217;s like a peace activist&#8217;s dream come true &#8211; to have an opportunity to put all those theories to the test and find a humanizing outcome.
I have learned a lot about sustainable living and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bread pudding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bread is often something I end up with too much of. Freezing it is always a simple way to avoid wasting it. This bread pudding recipe is another.
As you can see, there is no specification for temperature or time. I put the oven to 350, and baked it for about 40 minutes, followed by about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waste not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There is no waste, only creative challenges to find meaning and new opportunity,&#8221; I wrote last fall, as I developed my &#8220;metaphor for ministry.&#8221;
Throughout this year I have continually been drawn to the art of avoiding waste. I have planned many, many meals around food left to rot in seminary fridges (and therefore eaten much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Butternut squash soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made this soup for company a couple months ago, hoping that the lack of discernable vegetables and sweet flavor would appeal to the kids there.
It didn&#8217;t really work, since I told everyone what was in it:-)
But I liked it, and recommend it as a light, healthfully creamy soup.
I used peanuts instead of pumpkin seeds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fudge brownies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made these brownies for the Bethany Board of Trustees about a week ago. I&#8217;m ashamed to admit, I usually make brownies from a box because I like the texture so much better than brownies from scratch. But these brownies are a winner &#8211; chewy and fudgy, and delicious.
The recipe is very easy to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rhubarb crisp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made this for book club a couple weeks ago, with frozen rhubarb from last spring. I used honey from Centerville and molasses, rather than sugar, and extra rhubarb in place of sorrel.
This recipe comes from Simply in Season, an excellent cookbook that is a wonderful first step to eating and cooking more locally!
