		<title>painting with light in dolores park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My ongoing love affair with San Francisco grew stronger last night as I made letters and shapes with light sources and other photography enthusiasts in Dolores Park. 

Organized by the great online photography community of JPG mag, the cult camera purveyors Lomography, and my inspiring friend Amit Gupta and the wonderful Photojojo newsletter crew, fifty [...]]]></description>

		<title>kthread cooks: tomato pesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends came over last night, and drinks at the magic cottage turned into small plates of dinner. I stirred this tomato pesto into sautéed corn and annelini pasta, little ring shapes sometimes found in soups or salads. 
Smaller pastas are often reserved for children, but why should they have all the fun? 
Like green pesto [...]]]></description>

		<title>fly me to half moon empanadas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Pilar has just opened an empanada shop with her husband Juan on Washington Avenue (right next to Lincoln Road) in Miami&#8217;s South Beach called Half Moon Empanadas. 

The food is as satisfying as the great typefaces in the logo, and Pilar tells me everything is made in the restaurant: 

My favorite is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>to really understand the undernetting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skirting the storms about the magic cottage this morning, I began thinking about seasons in Miami. 

Humming Nico&#8217;s &#8220;The Fairest of the Seasons&#8221; (on last.fm here), I thought about how difficult it is to measure time when the leaves are always green. 
Other leaves near the magic cottage have small tears, holes, but these have [...]]]></description>

		<title>kthread cooks: avocado salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Were I to be scrupulously honest, I suppose I might admit this is less a salad and more a deconstructed guacamole. 
But as I&#8217;m not so inclined, this recipe is a light dressing, a sharp uppermost layer for soft, green flesh encrusted with red salt that sparkles like garnets on top of the fruit Jenne [...]]]></description>

		<title>an ATV chorus at the end of the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My beautiful friend Jenne drove with me to the end of the world today&#8211;or, at least, what felt like the end of the world as the road ended and we got out to look around. 

She smiled as we heard the sounds of things uncivilized approaching&#8230;

and an ATV trio rumbled past in their mudded glory. [...]]]></description>

		<title>very certain slants of light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In late morning, the light through rippled glass dances, lines appear for a moment and reappear, reminding me that we only see the parts of light filtered into wavelengths we can comprehend. And the rest? Whimsy just out of sight&#8230;

		<title>of leaves and light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most mornings, I pause briefly to admire the leaves of a plant just outside the magic cottage&#8211;some are green with red veins, some red with green veins. 

As though woven by chlorophyll artists, I noticed the slight tears and small holes in many of the leaves the other day. Perhaps part of the tropical storm [...]]]></description>

		<title>so I know she can dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My younger sister Kassandra (she&#8217;s the youngest of the three of us) is an incredible, fierce dancer who just moved from San Francisco, where she was training with Alonzo King&#8217;s LINES Ballet and posing in front of walls of graffiti. (Stunning, isn&#8217;t she?) 

I&#8217;ve just freshened her personal site kassandrataylor.com;

		<description><![CDATA[The wild winds of Tropical Storm Fay are whipping around the magic cottage today. 
So we&#8217;re making my favorite breakfast food, pancakes, with crispy edges (more edges in HD version here): 

Recipe: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt. Stir. Crack one egg in middle, add 1 cup buttermilk. Stir. Drop [...]]]></description>

		<title>the looming sky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we wait out a tropical storm in Miami, I am thinking of a sky loom rather than the looming sky, inspired by this part of Anthony Doerr&#8217;s breathtaking, brief piece in this summer&#8217;s Granta:
Salmon, wildebeest, locusts. Storks, swifts, snow geese. What if the torrents of animals migrating past us every year left behind traces [...]]]></description>

    My favorite part is the supermarché aisle sequence, and it strikes me that many of my beautiful American readers may be in [...]]]></description>

		<title>colorful green ideas wake gloriously</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The plants were shaking off the dew this morning beaded on their ribs; 

I wiped the sleep out of my eyes, blinked until the bright spots focused

into lace&#8211;the moisture highlighting the web&#8217;s edgework. 

And straight above me, I watched a snail wend its way on a path edged in light. 
With similar determination, here we [...]]]></description>

		<title>yet another reason to save the bees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I found another reason to worry about disappearance of honeybee hives. 
Like touring punk bands, bee swarms travel a country pollinating different audiences (more widely in the United States than abroad), and their demanding migratory schedule may be one of many reasons for their rapid decline in recent years&#8211;part of a syndrome called [...]]]></description>
