		<title>The Last Cookie.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you bake cookies it's like some kind of earth-shattering domestic phenomenon. The house fills with the intoxicating scent of fresh baked love all gooey with melted chocolate chips, chewy with oats and sweetly studded with dried cranberries. Suddenly people from all corners of the home come out of hiding and follow their noses to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Tuesday: Run Of The Mill.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are way too many different kinds of flour out there. All purpose flour, whole wheat flour, almond flour, bread flour, rice flour, self-rising flour, semolina flour, buckwheat flour, and, of course, cake flour. Cake flour is just a bleached soft wheat flour with a high starch content and low protein. It is best suited [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea Time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I tried to take up tea drinking. Ever since the great teatastophe of '97 I made the informed decision to henceforth swear off tea in all its guises. Iced tea. Green tea ice cream. Long Island iced tea. Matcha cake. It was just awful. I sipped a bit of my mom's green tea and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi there! Long time no see! Have you missed me? I've sure missed you! I hope that you all enjoyed your holidays. I am happy to report that I have thoroughly enjoyed mine. It was filled with turkey, hugs, warm pie, smiles, presents, twinkle lights, shopping bags and even a few epiphanies. Remember when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Break Time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought you all deserved an explanation for my lax blogging of late. I have decided it's time for me to take a bit of a break from the blog over the holidays. This decision is something that I've been wrestling with for a while now and it's time to come to grips with it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>These Aren&#8217;t The Droids You&#8217;re Looking For.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mind over matter. Power of suggestion. The force. Whatever you want to call it, that's what I've been wrestling with for the past week. Everyone around me is aching and couching and sneezing. The odds are kind of stacked against me here. I'd have to be some sort of guru of meditation with a fistful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cute On A Stick.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are those among us that dare to claim they don't like candy corn. I won't name names here, but just know the list is a long one. Candy corn is just one of those things you either love or hate. For instance: I love the bright caramel flavour, but I kind of hate the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fingers Crossed.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever had one of those thoughts that seemed like a good idea at the time then suddenly you find yourself wrist-deep in cookie dough and the cat is trying to eat the styrofoam gravestones and somehow you spent a small fortune on things like faux cobwebs and glow-in-the-dark skeletons? This weekend our house [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloudy With A Chance of Delicious.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You ever had one of those days? Maybe you put your underwear on inside out. Maybe you just couldn't wait for the dryer to be done and you had to rush out of the house wearing a half damp sweater. Maybe it rained all day and the humidity made your hair interminably frizzy. Maybe you [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To&#8230; Er&#8230; Wednesday: Easy As Pie.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been told that Pumpkin Pie baked with real pumpkin puree is far superior to the canned pumpkin puree. Since I'm pretty new to the whole Pumpkin Pie experience I thought I'd test that theory. Making pumpkin puree was pretty easy so I thought it was worth sharing with everyone. First you have to [...]]]></description>
