		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I made a peach crisp with some of the Indian Blood peaches from our tree.  I remembered using the pits and peels a few years ago to make peach vinegar and decided to try it again.  It&#8217;s deceptively simple but I wish I&#8217;d had more peelings and pits.  Just tie together the pits and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to KitchenAid FGA Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers, which I&#8217;ve rarely, if ever, used before, I ground up a two-pound blade steak last night for hamburgers. (Froze 1 pound for later use.) You have to cut the meat up into 1&#8243; cubes or long thinner strips. This is probably a bit easier to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My youngest asked for my refried beans, which she likes so much better than the canned ones. They do taste better. Bacon grease makes everything taste better!  But you can limit the amount of bacon grease or leave it out if you&#8217;re vegetarian or just watching your fat. First I cooked up a pound of [...]]]></description>
