		<title>Monte Antico IGT Toscana 2006 and Ragu Bolognese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I write to you this evening having just returned from a sunset walk in fair Brookline, MA.  Here in the New England, we are in the midst of another stunning fall.  Little by little, I am making my inevitable return back to the kitchen, red wine, and oh, and my blog.
While out on my evening [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nichols House in Beacon Hill, Boston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been sooooooo long since I&#8217;ve had time to write anything here.  In short, my life has turned upside down over the past several months.  I think things are finally starting to settle, or maybe the interesting part is just beginning.  Only time will tell&#8230;  With that said, I&#8217;ve been itching to write about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belle Pente Wine Dinner at Scampo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I was invited to a wine dinner at Scampo at the Liberty Hotel here in Boston.  My friend, Alex, is the sommelier there, and I jumped at the chance to attend when he told me that they would be featuring the wines of Belle Pente.  I have been a fan of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canteen and a Harbor Cruise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a fantastic day off work I had today!  I got a call in the morning from Annie, a friend from work, to head over to a new little restaurant in Cambridge that has just opened call Canteen.  She read about it on Boston.GrubStreet.com, a great website to catch up on news in the Boston [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunday Supper at Marco in Boston&#8217;s North End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The long and short of things is that I haven&#8217;t had much time or energy to post on my blog lately because my world has turned upside down in the past few weeks.
I have been spending more and more time concentrating on music lately and practicing almost everyday.  I also have new job(s) at my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dinner at the Beacon Hill Bistro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a fan of the Beacon Hill Bistro for a long time.  They have always consistently delivered on food and service over the near 10 years that I&#8217;ve been going there.  I also like their compact and well-chosen wine list.  There are always appealing and affordable options to be had.
Dan and I ended up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garden Tour of Boston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ended up again having an impromptu day off this past Saturday and what a beautiful day it was to have off!  This is one of my favorite times of the year, when winter fades into Spring, and everything is in bloom.  My allergies hate it, but I don&#8217;t care too much because Boston becomes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outstanding Lasagna in Concord, NH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dan&#8217;s busy performance schedule brought us out to Concord, NH a few days ago.  The Concord Chorale was giving a performance that included the Requiem by Fauré.  I&#8217;m so glad that I was able to attend because I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve ever listened to the piece from start to finish.  The music is subtle and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Play: Opus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week or so ago, I discovered a fantastic website: ArtsBoston.org.  It offers a listing of events going on in and around the Boston area including plays, operas, exhibitions, and concerts, etc.  It&#8217;s a revelation for me since I&#8217;m never exactly sure when I&#8217;m going to be free, given my erratic work schedule.  If I [...]]]></description>
