		<title>A Studio Walk Through</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The time has come to completely empty the studio space after postponing a much needed makeover for far too long. I will patch, sand, and paint the neglected walls and woodwork that have served me so well for years.

		<title>Summer In Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I want a diversion from the kale and roasted veggie salads of winter, I start rummaging in my freezer.  I love the brilliance that Autumn gives us.

		<title>For The Love Of Holiday Cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is it about Holiday baking? It&#8217;s the indefinable scent of sugar, butter and spices wafting from the oven and falling like a soft cloud of sweetness, covering every nook and cranny of your home. And, it&#8217;s the childhood memory of anticipating that first buttery bite as the object of fondness finds its way through [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Personal Palette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have a personal palette.  Fashionistas say all colors are a go. But there are those colors that make us want to sink right in, and relax.

		<title>The Joy Of Looking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, I would sit in the kitchen and watch while my Mother prepared meals. It seemed to me a very mysterious process. There were so many parts required: kitchen tools, books, time, and of course ingredients. I was  left to wonder how did it all fit together to create a meal. &#160; [...]]]></description>
