		<title>Modern Spice:  Monica Bhide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While driving home from work one early-June afternoon, I turned on NPR (typical) and started listening to Kojo Nnamdi (not so typical, as I don’t usually get out of work so early and have to settle for Kojo repeats).
Kojo had a guest host that day and she was interviewing Monica Bhide, author of several cookbooks, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=604&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Penn Quarter Farmers&#8217; Market:  July 2nd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Justin and I went to FreshFarm&#8217;s Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market yesterday and had a wonderful time wandering around.  We went with the goal of getting eggs and peaches, but left with two bags full of delicious produce and flowers.

We started off grabbing two pain au chocolate from Quail Creek Farm, a bakery outside of Hedgesville, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=594&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Twisting Away Waste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my constant effort to live in an efficient, sustainable manner, I’m always looking for ways to alter my every day mundane actions using products or tools that make a difference environmentally.   If I have to wipe down countertops or clean dishes, I feel slightly better knowing that my boring actions will ultimately result in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=584&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Making a Necessary Errand &#8216;Greener&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, dry cleaning.  Every time I pick up clothes from the drycleaner, I wince.  Not just because of the bill—the bill I can ‘stomach’, most of the time.  It’s the waste:  horrible wire hangers, each item individually bagged.  Bags that are unusable in another form, except as a ‘must be supervised toy’ for my cat.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=576&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Virginia Farmland Supper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of the Summer Solstice and in support of both our favorite group of restaurants—The Neighborhood Restaurant Group—and local farmers, Justin and I went  to the Virginia Farmland Supper last weekend.  This ‘farm to fork’ experience was absolutely one-of-a-kind.
The event took place far out in Loudoun County, VA (practically West Virginia) at Moutoux Orchards.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=558&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>UP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I saw the movie Up on opening weekend a few weekends ago.  It was a wonderful, poignant film.  Pixar found the ‘magic’ formula:  Up is a movie children will find hilarious and a movie adults will find touching.  This movie serves as a reminder to live life in the present and that joy comes from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=551&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Ultimate Play with your Food Accessory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While browsing the internet, tied up in a meeting and not able to leave, I have food on the brain:  I&#8217;m starving!  I came across these plates from Pop Deluxe.  These plates are touted for children, but I think they&#8217;d be a riot when I&#8217;m not trying to impress or eating my once-a-week meal of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=546&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Trayless Cafeterias:  A Positive Way To Lose that Freshman 15?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I read an article in the New York Times that made me hopeful.  Some, mostly small, colleges have enacted a small change that could ultimately lead to big results both for the environment and (maybe) for the future generation&#8217;s awareness of their impact on the environment:  how a small change can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=536&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Harmony with Nature:  Frank Lloyd Wright</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My fiancé and I took a day and a half trip up to Western Pennsylvania to stay at Nemacolin Resort and visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s FallingWater and Kentuck Knob.  Nemacolin was an interesting place:  a mishmash of a little bit of everything:  a world-class spa (which we enjoyed!), several different places to stay (A ‘château’, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cheeryobservations.wordpress.com&blog=4707193&post=527&subd=cheeryobservations&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
