		<description><![CDATA[Okay, that title is a lie. I actually harvested some of my own lettuce a few weeks back. Just a few leaves, but that was really the first harvest of any kind. However, just this past weekend, I got my first real harvest from my garden! That means it was the first time I actually grabbed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My goodness, it&#8217;s only the beginning of May, I&#8217;ve only planted one crop of veggies in my backyard and I think I&#8217;ve already toasted my first crop of plants. It&#8217;s been rainy here for the past while, so I had set my drip irrigation timer to just 30 minutes every other day. Unfortunately, yesterday was [...]]]></description>

Giant sandworms were, unknown to the galaxy that prized the valuable spice available only on that planet, the source of the spice itself that everyone fought over. While the earthworms that appeared today in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote some time ago about tilapia not being the best choice for sushi. At the time, I complained about the difficulty fileting tilapia and then slicing it thinly enough for sushi or sashimi. Now, with some improvements to my fileting and slicing skills under my belt, I have to amend my comments a little. [...]]]></description>

Consumers can rationalize to themselves about where their beef, pork or chicken comes from, how the animals are treated, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unagi, or freshwater eel, is one of my favorite foods to eat. I enjoy unagi nigiri sushi, and love unagi donburi. Unfortunately, unagi is endangered and our current farming practices are unsustainable. Eating unagi is as irresponsible as eating bluefin tuna and ought to be seen in the same light as eating whale. You wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to use fish that is as fresh as possible when making sushi or sashimi at home. Tilapia is a very common fish to find swimming in the fish tanks at Asian supermarkets &#8211; it&#8217;s cheap, it doesn&#8217;t have too many small bones, and works quite well when steamed whole. On a whim, I [...]]]></description>

Yes, it&#8217;s the disgusting slimy stuff that grows in dark, damp places in the house. Yes, it&#8217;s the stuff that causes allergic reactions in people in old buildings. Yes, it&#8217;s part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Preparing one&#8217;s own sushi and sashimi is a pleasure. It&#8217;s a good deal price-wise compared to eating out, and the act of prepping the fish, slicing it, and presenting it nicely on the serving platter is a very calming, relaxing experience. The enjoyment of the food at the end is, of course, a huge plus [...]]]></description>
