		<title>One Less Fruit&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Readers, my apologies for such a long absence without even a short explanation! Summertime has proven to be lazy, hot and deeply introspective for Yours Truly. Emerging from my humid-induced mental solace, I have decided&#8211;after much internal debate&#8211;that I want a break. So I am leaving The Passion Fruits. It&#8217;s been a great joy being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kentucky Peach Tea: A Poolside Essential</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Like Snapple Peach Iced Tea on steroids.&#8221; That&#8217;s how our friends described this little punch as we lounged poolside over the weekend. We had a play date, you see, at a friend&#8217;s pool on Saturday and we were already bringing the pitcher. Our hostess had not been able to find one in plastic, a requirement for bibulousness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greening Up Take-Out Tuesday: Caesar Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were scheduled to have dinner with some friends on Tuesday&#8211;not exactly conducive to a multi-course production, either at home or out at somewhere fancy&#8230; After SEVERAL rounds of emails, pizza emerged as the desired foodstuff. But then where to go? Rather than go around the bend arguing about which place was least inconvenient for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guest Blogging at JourneyChic: Check it Out!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, yes, while the only sounds coming from the PF kitchens of late have been the chirp of crickets, I do have a post up on my lovely friend Laura&#8217;s blog, JourneyChic. I discuss the importance of champagne and how to create a Bellini Bar, one of my favorite drinks setups for a truly festive time. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Night Lights: Quick Lemon Blackberry Trifles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I am slightly dumb, and nothing if not ambitious, I recently elected to invite people over for dinner the night before I left for a conference. That would be the slightly dumb part. Of course, I could not merely suggest that we go out; that would be the ambitious bit. After years of painfully-earned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recovery Sunday: Chinese Scrambled Eggs with Tomato</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, after a week in New Orleans, a barbeque cocktail party, and a delicious Persian dinner (khoreshte aloo esfenaj&#8211;my faaavorite), I found myself in need of some recuperative sustenance. I often turn to rice in such dire times, and what better accompaniment than a super simple scrambled egg and tomato stirfry? A fond memory of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Orleans Part Deux: The Muffelatta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Checking in again from NOLA, center of all things decadently delicious and ever so raffishly decayed. In a town famed for food, there are several big ticket items one needs to eat. At the basic end, it&#8217;s fried things and sandwiches&#8211;beignets, po&#8217;boys, and muffelatta. On the advice of some local friends, I dragged my fellow conventioneers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where in the World is Carmen PassionFruit-iego?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at a conference in a town well known for its divine food and generally excellent debauchery: New Orleans. Stop the first? Cafe du Monde for beignets. Not sure I appreciate the frenetic atmosphere, or, saints preserve us, the beignets. They&#8217;re fried dough&#8230; with heaps of powdered sugar. I don&#8217;t really get it&#8211;I thought they&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Office Brunchageddon (Redux): Cinco de Mayo Strata</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I forgot to take pictures AGAIN. This is the second (and a half) time I&#8217;ve made this damn thing&#8211;devoured without complaint on both outings, thankfully&#8211;but I am a total bonehead and didn&#8217;t manage to take real pictures. This is what happens when you get up at 5:30 to turn the [...]]]></description>

		<title>ToMAYto, ToMAHto: Summer Stuffed Tomatoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Naturally, now that I&#8217;ve totally missed the deadline for the Post&#8217;s annual summer tomato recipe contest, I found myself with a big handful of home-grown Juliette tomatoes&#8211;from my boss&#8217; garden, no less. Given this somewhat belated bounty&#8217;s very special provenance, I felt the need to do something special with them.  As I toyed with them [...]]]></description>
