		<title>Sardinia, Without Sardines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them.&#8221;
- Camillo di Cavour, prime minister, Kingdom of Sardinia
I&#8217;m getting a bit behind on dinner posts, so I may throw these at you rapidly over the next couple of days. You&#8217;ll live. Let&#8217;s start back at the beginning of the month and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Supremes &#8211; Track 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we reach the end of the Supreme Directors with a short walk dedicated to Juan Pedro Juli&#225;n Aguirre y L&#243;pez de Anaya, more commonly just referred to as Juli&#225;n Aguirre. There&#8217;s not a huge amount to tell about him, and in fact I was able to find out little overall. He was a revolutionary [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passing Vegetarian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;Everyone&#8217;s a pacifist between wars. It&#8217;s like being a vegetarian between meals.&#8221;
- Colman McCarthy, journalist, activist
I was vegetarian once upon a time. It wasn&#8217;t for a long period. I was dating someone who was, wasn&#8217;t working in a restaurant at that moment, and it seemed to be a good move at the time. Two days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Koreatown Caution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve hesitated a few days about writing this up, mostly because I don&#8217;t want family and friends to be worried about living here in BA, nor people who don&#8217;t really know the city to take this as a sign of insecurity here in town. In the end though, it&#8217;s not something that couldn&#8217;t have happened [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Islington to Buenos Aires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;The fields from Islington to Marybone, To Primrose Hill and Saint John&#8217;s Wood, Were builded over with pillars of gold; And there Jerusalem&#8217;s pillars stood.&#8221;
- William Blake
Over time, we&#8217;ve had quite a few visits from our local puertas cerradas compatriots, as well as visited their dining spots. We&#8217;ve had a few from the US and [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are we Drinking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few more recent tasting notes:
Santa Julia Extra Brut, Mendoza &#8211; Part of the Familia Zuccardi vineyards group &#8211; pale straw color, plenty of fine bubbles, this is an interesting sparkling blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Viognier. Strong on the citrus notes, particularly orange, though a bit of lime and lemon creeping in, somewhat [...]]]></description>

		<title>DR on the DL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;We&#8217;ve traveled almost the full length of the island and can report that every corner of it is wet, every river overflows its banks, every rain barrel is filled to the brim, every wall washed clean of writing no one knows how to read anyway.&#8221;

		<title>The Scoop on Chile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of folk have clearly been concerned about friends and relatives in Chile after this last weekend&#8217;s earthquake. It didn&#8217;t have any direct effect on us here in BA, so we&#8217;re all fine, thanks &#8211; the near 900 mile distance and the fact that the shockwaves headed west into the Pacific meant minimal impact [...]]]></description>
