		<description><![CDATA[This summer&#8217;s market mantra is &#8220;buy only what you will use in a week.&#8221; This also implies a second rule: make sure to cook what you buy. I saw that in action this morning as I found myself following Tsei Wei and Diana from Journeyman as they filled a huge basket with produce that they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Union Square Farmer&#8217;s Market opened for the season yesterday. I told myself that I would do two things differently this summer: arrive at opening time to avoid the crowds (and dogs, and baby strollers, and bike-toting hipsters), and buy only what I was certain I&#8217;d use in a week (excluding specialty items). With those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend&#8217;s meat CSA share seemed specifically designed for grilling on Memorial Day weekend. Instead of a whole chicken I got a bone-in whole breast and some leg quarters, for beef there was a sirloin steak and two six-ounce burgers, and the pork contribution was two thick chops and a ham steak. However tempting it would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Jamaican work visa problem was resolved, which means Massachusetts farms will have workers for the spring and summer. The timing couldn&#8217;t have been better, as it&#8217;s lambing season at many of the farms, including Stillman&#8217;s, where I get my monthly meat fix. This weekend&#8217;s share was lamb-centric: lamb ribs, lamb stew meat, and lamb [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s also live streaming the entire thing direct from his kitchen. Go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The days are getting longer, the temperatures are above freezing, but the arrival of locally-grown green vegetables can&#8217;t come fast enough. We don&#8217;t have many alternatives here in New England, but even buying from organic farms in Florida feels like cheating. Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve learned that out-of-state produce may be our only viable option this season. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a contrarian streak in Bostonians that I find to be alternately endearing and infuriating, depending on whether I am merely observing or the recipient. Today is a day when I honor that stubbornness, taking great pleasure in referring to the observed holiday as Evacuation Day rather than Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day. You won&#8217;t find a [...]]]></description>

Maybe I showed up at a lull, but this was the first time ever that I was able to walk up and grab my bag with no wait. In fact, the Stillman&#8217;s folks saw me getting out of the [...]]]></description>

It also helps when the huge piles of snow in the parking lot (I don&#8217;t have the luxury of walking two blocks at this time of year) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Due to overwhelming demand, Somerville started a winter farmer&#8217;s market which takes place in the old armory building. It&#8217;s not within walking distance of Chez Belm, but it&#8217;s worth the short drive to be able to get fresh produce. Some of the summer vendors were there as well as new purveyors, so I tried to [...]]]></description>
