                <description><![CDATA[Probably the only reason we really go to La Casita is because it's within walking distance of our house. But every time we go we, it's enjoyable. The place is popular with the area locals and you get a lot of decent food for a great price. And don't forget the chips with three types of salsa - red, white, and green. I am fond of mixing the white and the green together and then spooning out some green sauce in my refried beans.So, on Friday we headed to the little house once again at the corner of Azalea and ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A lovely day and a great day to visit the South of the James Market. Almost as many vendors continue to offer fantastic products. Lots of root veggies (including my new fav - Japanese turnips!), squashes, and lettuces. And a vendor that is popular for restaurants, but new to the market - Manakintowne Specialty Growers. Common Ground Growers are offering wreaths. Flynn's Foods now has a truck and can cook up garlic fries, turkey burgers, and egg inna nest (fried egg and grilled toast). We also learned that a smaller market will operate in the winter from 10-noon and about ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[2005 Bourgogne from Bouchard Pere and Fils. I tasted this at J. Emerson last month and picked up a couple of bottles for less than $20 each.I almost always enjoy wine from this particular producer. This bottle had a decent fruitiness across the upper to mid-palate and was tasty just by itself. Yet, it had enough heartiness to stand up to a pan fried pork chop.This wine definitely embodies what I think of (and, indeed want) when someone talks about Pinot Noir.Salut!]]></description>

It's not too precise, but it gives you the foundation to be creative.Turkey SoupBefore soup day:Roast a turkey a day or two before you make the soup. I usually season the turkey with fresh rosemary and thyme and salt and pepper. Part of the seasoning is inserted between the breast and the skin. Enjoy some hot turkey. Place the leftover turkey in the refrigerator. Save any turkey juices and filter and place in metal bowl and put in refrigerator for stock.On soup day:Ingredients:Turkey stockChicken ...]]></description>

And we had a most enjoyable experience (aside from the very curt and unfriendly hostess who confirmed our reservation in her computer). Hostess aside, the host was quite friendly as he seated us at our table. Our waiter did not contrive to put on a wine snob attitude and did not rush us to decide upon dinner or dessert. Our wine was decanted. We did not have to pour our own wine, the staff took care of that throughout the evening. The management ...]]></description>
