		<description><![CDATA[Although I do the majority of the cooking at Chez Belm, I don&#8217;t do all of the cooking. Occasionally She Who Must Be Obeyed steps in and cooks something that she likes that isn&#8217;t something I usually think of when planning dinner menus. Such was the case when she announced that she wanted to make gazpacho. [...]]]></description>

He should have &#8220;The Internet is Forever&#8221; tattooed backwards across his chest like Leonard Shelby in Memento; a permanent reminder that The New York Post will find any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Left to his own devices, Who Will Not Be Ignored would play Angry Birds obsessively until he dropped from exhaustion. That doesn&#8217;t prevent him from thinking about the game when he&#8217;s not playing it, or calling our attention to this YouTube video. The less than subtle hint was that he hoped we could produce a [...]]]></description>

You can read a brief history here, and view a period map here. This year the unseasonably warm weather drew us out [...]]]></description>

Sometimes the story is just that &#8211; a short piece of fiction &#8211; but sometimes it&#8217;s a factual article or news report. Regardless of the content, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not a decision he arrived at arbitrarily, it is, in his mind, supported by hard evidence. Four years ago, while driving him home from a doctor&#8217;s appointment, I offered to buy He Who a cookie as [...]]]></description>

Since I deal with all of the Chez Belm biology projects (carnivorous plants, herb garden, outdoor landscaping, fermented food products, tropical fish, small boy), [...]]]></description>

The decrease in the intervals between 70, 75, and 80 thousand is due to my adding a more than a few boxed sets (complete Mahler, [...]]]></description>

I first noticed it at the 2000 Toy Fair in New York, where we both had our photos taken in a Sanrio instant photo sticker booth. The end product was a 4 by 5 inch sheet of little stickers of [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately IKEA stopped manufacturing the twenty four inch wide Billy bookcase (why?), so I was forced to have something custom made. After two days [...]]]></description>
