		<title>Theobroma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Theobroma means food for the gods. It&#8217;s the scientific name of chocolate. I make a different theobroma, one which doesn&#8217;t involve chocolate.  It&#8217;s a recipe that I&#8217;m getting better at. My kids fight over it. My husband&#8217;s coworkers refuse to believe it&#8217;s homemade. (I&#8217;m puffing up, deflate me.) My friend and my aunt keep asking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fruits in Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The price of oranges drop to as low as 4lbs./1 dollar from February to May. The best places to go to in Southern California are the ethnic markets. I love going to the Mexican markets for produce. Nothing beats their prices and quality. You get the sweetest and prettiest fruits. The only orange variety whose [...]]]></description>

		<title>quirky restroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sister wondered what took me so long inside. I was taking pictures. No restroom in Los Angeles is as fun and as kooky as the one they have at Wacko/La Luz De Jesus Gallery. Every inch of that tiny place is covered with pictures. The theme of the moment is fish. Even the cabinet [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Chinese Adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; O wow! Two weeks ago, this book held me prisoner from 8 PM &#8211; 6 AM. I decided to read a few pages while I was sipping my after-dinner coffee. When I had drained my cup, I wanted to go to bed. I had obligations the following day, but something just kept me glued [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bedtime story with a twist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Reading a story aloud with your kids is, in my opinion, one of life&#8217;s greatest pleasures. We like to snuggle under a blanket and giggle while we&#8217;re at it. No matter how foul my daughter&#8217;s mood is, it always gets better when I entice her with a book. These days we have set aside [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye, Adrienne Rich!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She&#8217;s dead! An article on the Los Angeles Times website had me running upstairs for my copy of &#8220;20th Century Women&#8217;s Poetry&#8221;, a book I had pilfered from my sister&#8217;s shelf years ago. Adrienne Rich passed away at age 82. She is considered as one of the most notable feminist writers in the US. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthday Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally uploaded the photos I took when my family went on a trip to Sea World San Diego last February. It was a birthday treat for my daughter. Having been there numerous times, my husband and I stood detached from the people  in the aquarium exhibits. We kept an eagle eye out for our [...]]]></description>

		<title>A kindergartner contemplates God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Mommy, how does God make your bones? How does God make a seed? How does God make a leaf? How does God make the sky? How did God make your mouth? These are just some of the questions that my  five-year-old daughter likes to throw at me . She&#8217;s at that stage when everything [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello, old friend!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;   &#8220;You&#8217;re still alive?&#8221;, I gasped . I was rummaging among the shelves of used books at the Disabled Veterans Thrift Store when I spotted it. Barely visible in between a fat bestselling thriller and a harbound &#8220;Anna Karenina&#8221; by Leo Tolstoy was a book written by Anne Mather. I pulled it out, gently [...]]]></description>

		<title>First blooms of the year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been feeling like a loser. Last Monday I told my husband and my boss that I was quitting my job of three months because of childcare concerns. For a housewife who hasn&#8217;t been working for five years, getting that job was almost like a miracle. In this tough economy, when a lot of people [...]]]></description>
