		<title>Omakase Set A at Yume Sushi (formerly Shiki Sushi)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I like a Japanese restaurant, eventually I will order the Omakase Set. Omakase is boss&#8217; or chef&#8217;s choice. This gives the chef an opportunity to show off.
This one is different than I&#8217;ve experienced in that it is a full course meal, instead of only sushi &#38; sashimi. Except for the edamame, everything was individual [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventures in Vermicomposting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My boyfriend&#8217;s sister in law was kind enough to give me their neglected worm bin when I started declaring an interested in having one. I made a little container to collect vegetable scraps and coffee grounds and have been feeding the worms regularly until they are fat and happy.
When I went to add in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gardening: Micro greens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve got a bit of the gardening bug this year. Our yard is dark and tiny, which usually puts me off. I found a lot of shade-friendly offerings this year, so I thought I&#8217;d give it a whirl. To me, a garden isn&#8217;t a garden without some veg. I used the internet to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best Christmas present this year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received a lot of great gifts this year. My favorite is usually the calendar my sister, Bridget, makes for us every year with family pictures.
This year I received something better.

My sisters and I sent &#8220;care&#8221; packages to our brother while he was stationed in Iraq. In thanks, he made us these. I&#8217;m all poignant.

		<title>Comic Con food: Thursday &#8211; Masala</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of experience, we&#8217;ve gotten a routine down for the procuring of food. Around lunch, we pass around a sheet of paper and everyone writes down what they want from the nearby Ralph&#8217;s supermarket. Often it&#8217;s sandwiches, but this year, Joe took us in a delicious alternative: chicken strips. Being deli food, though, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>IOCWAFR: Hancock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It Opened a Couple of Weeks Ago Film Review: Hancock
I&#8217;ve been looking forward to seeing Hancock. This summer there are quite a few films I&#8217;d like to see, which isn&#8217;t always the case. The ads for Hancock put a very human, dysfunctional face on a super-being, so it seemed really interesting. The first half went, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the Monday Night Dinner Club, we wandered into the topic of spam. I mentioned my friend, Shiaw-Ling, receiving this rather meta spam and blogging about it. Everyone seemed interested, so here is the link to it.
Enjoy!

		<title>Wilcox High School make tasty food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up the habit of taking pictures of food in Japan. To the amusement and embarrassment of my friends and family, the habit persisted. I could wax expressive on food, but hopefully you understand. My friend Shiaw-Ling suggested I start featuring food in my blog, and why not?
Keith participated in the Santa Clara Leadership [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on March 14</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one month after Valentine&#8217;s Day. I&#8217;m struck by the ironic parallelism between Japanese tradition and American.
In Japan, Valentine&#8217;s Day focuses on the men. Women make or buy chocolate to give to the men they know. The usually fall into one of two categories. Giri-choco, or obligation chocolate is given to all a woman&#8217;s male [...]]]></description>
