		<description><![CDATA[July is upon us. Know what happens in July? Heat, humidity, coupled with depressing economic times, a lazy feeling. The condition is known as the summer doldrums though economic conditions are not usually one of the causes (they are this year!). Do not think the FDA or CDC are investigating what is a common summer ailment.

		<description><![CDATA[US Federal Reserve Chairman, Bernanke, stated in testimony to Congress yesterday, “The economy has continued to expand, but at a subdued pace,” Mr. Bernanke said at another point.

The back of the Bhutanese red rice bag I bought at the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival says it grows at a height of 8,000 feet in the Himalayan mountains and is irrigated with centuries-old glacier water &#8220;rich in trace minerals.&#8221; Sounds intriguing, no? Honestly, I could care less about that. I wanted to know what [...]]]></description>

If you did answer chicken, do you know what that chicken was fed? Most Americans probably don’t know the answer and it’s [...]]]></description>

In my usual first-Tuesday-of-the-month rush last week, I ended up creating a dish that had &#8220;single male&#8221; written all over it. Like my honey baked chicken, this one has just three ingredients and is incredibly easy.
After sitting in hot, sticky rush hour traffic for longer than expected on a Tuesday evening, I arrived home, stomach [...]]]></description>

Here it is! A single serving of my favorite potato salad. I was tempted, just now, to write &#8220;the best&#8221; potato salad, but I&#8217;ll be fair and just say &#8220;my favorite.&#8221; However, I will tell you that I hate potatoes but can&#8217;t get enough of this stuff. Actually, I promptly inhaled what you see above [...]]]></description>

My box of fresh produce from Washington&#8217;s Green Grocer arrived yesterday! I got the small box, which looks like it&#8217;s going to be the perfect size and will last me two weeks until the next one arrives (I ordered bi-weekly delivery). Here&#8217;s what I got:

Two tomatoes, three ears of corn, two zucchini, two cucumbers &#8230;
