		<description><![CDATA[During a brief respite from traveling this September, The Gastronomer and I made our third visit to San Antonio Winery in downtown Los Angeles. Attending the winery’s events is becoming a monthly tradition for us, and it’s also becoming a tradition that I give The Gastronomer a rest by handling the blogging duties. She’s written [...]]]></description>

These days, as my posts become more and more infrequent, I feel obligated to introduce myself at the outset, lest readers become confused and wonder why The Gastronomer has suddenly started talking about herself in the third person. A few Sundays back, The Gastronomer and I attended our second event [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, thanks to everyone for all of your congratulations and kind words in response to The French Laundry post. Since a few people have asked, I thought I’d share some tips on securing one of the famously elusive reservations. This isn’t really groundbreaking stuff&#8212;all the info is available elsewhere on the internet&#8212;nevertheless, here goes. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the day of our long awaited trip to The French Laundry, I awoke and ate two small bowls of cereal. The Gastronomer was intent on eating sparingly for the remainder of the day in preparation for our just shy of six o&#8217;clock dinner reservation. I was considering joining her, but by noon I was [...]]]></description>

We both love dumplings (in my case, perhaps love is not a strong enough [...]]]></description>

This place has been around since at least the mid-90s, but now that [...]]]></description>

I know this because my colleague Mimi, the quintessential expat, orders their barbeque spare ribs for lunch two or three times per week. Unbelievably, The Gastronomer and I made it through an entire year in Saigon without trying those puppies [...]]]></description>
