		<description><![CDATA[Pinot Noir.  Always a favorite with food, you&#8217;ll probably want to serve at least one with your Thanksgiving meal.  I&#8217;m currently having a love affair with Pinot from California&#8217;s Sonoma Coast, I recommend anything by winemaker Jim McPhail, who has incidentally (and deservedly) won just about every award ever given.

		<description><![CDATA[With all the bad weather in California this year, lettuce prices are through the roof, so I bought some cabbage yesterday. Raw cabbage has a plastic texture even though it&#8217;s good for you.  Boiling or steaming cabbage does nothing for the flavor in my opinion.  So I decided to roast it. Bingo!
