          <description><![CDATA[
Cauliflower is a cool-season vegetable and is now on special in some of our markets. Although I like it very much, I hardly ever focus on it when grocery shopping. I did buy a head of cauliflower the other day to make a pasta dish, which I first encountered years ago in an Italian restaurant in San Francisco.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
A recent piece on the TV news confirmed my suspicions that some of the packaged items in our grocery stores were smaller with less content. The manufacturers have designed new labels for these slightly smaller versions and have kept them at the same or a little higher price. I&#8217;ve noticed it in some canned goods and even in packages of popcorn kernels. I wondered why all of a sudden I was not getting the quantity of popped corn we had been enjoying.            ]]></description>

It was with great surprise that I recently learned that several of the leaders in fine dinnerware &#8212; Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton &#8212; had gone into bankruptcy. I wondered to myself whether these casualties of the economic world indicate the era of fine entertaining and dining is ending.            ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
When we think of food we usually think of man farming crops or raising animals for food. We rarely think of fish in a similar way. However, in recent decades man farming the seas instead of fishing in the open ocean has become the norm for much of our seafood.            ]]></description>

I have always thought of bagels and English muffins as breakfast food. But we in Charlottesville know better and have, for years, enjoyed bagel sandwiches at the various Bodo&#8217;s locations. I have eaten many bagels, but none have been better than those at Bodo&#8217;s.           ]]></description>

Allan and I recently spent several days in Vail, Colo., and Moab, Utah, at two delightful resorts. Each place was entirely different from the other. The Sonnenalp in Vail is a large-scale hotel in the center of town and the Sorrel River Ranch, 17 miles east of Moab, is a working horse ranch with full guest facilities. Both are four-star facilities.           ]]></description>

Every once in a while a familiar household food product graces our TV screens, even though pharmaceutical and car ads dominate these days.

I have noticed that more and more people are including chicken, in one form or another, in their grocery baskets. Is this a sign of the times? It is for Allan and I. We have enjoyed chicken for years, and s we grow older, we are eating less and less red meat.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
One of my favorite interests is history, particularly food history. The other day I was wondering about who created our cooking techniques and early cuisines. I often had wondered when and by whom national and ethnic foods came into being. Did they start with the Chinese, Greeks or Romans? Or did they start at about the same time from many sources?            ]]></description>

I frequently use only use one leek when I make soup or a stew. It gives a sweetness and mild onion-like flavor to the dish and is not as strong as an onion. Occasionally I also use leeks as a vegetable to accompany roast beef. A British friend gave me the recipe, saying that the sweetness of leeks balanced the heavy flavors of roast beef.           ]]></description>
