		<description><![CDATA[A couple of interesting books have come my way, and so I am sharing some thoughts.

	
	The Plant Lover's Companion
First, The Plant Lovers Companion: Plants, People, &#38; Places by Julia Brittain  (David &#38; Charles, 2006; $14.99). (Note that this book seems to have been published under two slightly different titles: actually the title and subtitle reversed.) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a delight to spend an evening with Sandor Katz, and to hear all about his latest methods of fermenting foods. His 2003 book, Wild Fermentation, is a well-worn reference on my cookbook shelves, and I was so excited to actually have the opportunity to hear him talk.
His seminar drew a large audience for Gainesville, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a lovely walk Max and I had today! A little warm for early April, but there was a pleasant breeze and a clear blue sky. Lots of birds and butterflies. And plenty of snacks. Tasty asparagus tips (the leading ends of Smilax spp), delicious lavender dayflowers (Tradescantia ohiensis), and lemony sour wild sorrel leaves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you find that many of your favorite culinary herbs wilt, “melt,” and otherwise succumb to the Florida heat and humidity, consider creating a rock garden. After years of basically abandoning the “kitchen” garden during the summer, I finally decided to return to a passion of my childhood.
When I was growing up New Jersey we [...]]]></description>

“Is this purslane?” she asked. “Looks like it from here,” I responded.
I had just enjoyed a stimulating and intriguing tour of a special homestead that is a heady blend of pioneer spirit and [...]]]></description>
