		<title>Lemony ricotta basil pasta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[





A few months ago  I shared our &#8220;woe-is-me&#8221; story of buying a house and two cars and then suddenly feeling a little bit of a panic at seeing the bulk of our liquid assets disappear from our bank accounts.   As  I wrote at the time, there was a lot of mac and cheese.  And it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=917&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Kalyn&#8217;s spicy red lentil and chickpea stew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yikes! Is it already almost November?! It feels like I posted just yesterday and yet it&#8217;s been nearly a month.  Time flies when you&#8217;re maniacally writing grants.  But I can&#8217;t complain because for the most part, I&#8217;ve been able to leave work at work and enjoy my hours at home.  Mostly that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=913&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pear parmesan cashew salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of the perks of pursuing a PhD is that the summers are just a step away from the carefree summers of youth.  Yes, technically we were all still pursuing our research, but the summers always had a very different vibe.   In an anthropology department, all of the professors scatter to their field sites (or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=628&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pumpkin cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Admittedly, I&#8217;ve been a very bad blogger these days, but when you are faced with diversions like spending time with a one year old as she ponders her first cupcake, sitting in front of a computer seems decidedly less appealing.  How can I justify writing about last night&#8217;s dinner when my little munchkin wants to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=901&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Butternut squash soup with miso and ginger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Having finished bemoaning the local delicacies of our new town in upstate New York,  I am now proud to share  some of its finer culinary features.  Our first &#8220;Yowza!&#8221; came when we visited our local supermarket, Wegman&#8217;s.  I had been to another Wegman&#8217;s once before and while it was nice, it was nothing to write [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=868&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Roasted beets with warm pomegranate ginger vinaigrette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had to laugh when I read the ongoing series of posts about getting picky eaters to eat vegetables on Cheap Healthy Good earlier this summer.   Although I now love food enough to not only cook it, but spend my precious free time writing about it, I was an extremely picky kid and would still [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=875&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cumin chicken with black beans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A couple of weeks ago, the  New York Times featured a story on how Manhattan was named the slimmest county in New York.  The news probably didn&#8217;t come as a surprise to many.  In my high school days in New York City, I was constantly running around town exploring and even now, when [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=888&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m back! It has been two months, to the day, since Superspark went on hiatus during our big cross-country move from LA to upstate NY.   Two months so busy that I had to renounce my 5-day a week exercise addiction.  Two months so busy that I went through long spells with barely a moment to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=725&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We&#8217;ve just passed the one month mark in the countdown to our big cross-country move.   That means that instead of picking out a few new recipes to try each week, buying new ingredients, and planning menus, we&#8217;re starting to think about clearing out the cabinets.   Some things are going to pose more of a challenge [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=838&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Caramelized tofu with brussels sprouts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Having a baby does not do wonders for the brain.   Between the sleep deprivation (which is, thankfully, largely a thing of the past for me now) and having your attention pulled in every direction, a new mother&#8217;s memory is like a sieve.  Or swiss cheese, to use a metaphor more appropriate to this blog.  There [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=superspark.wordpress.com&blog=670728&post=776&subd=superspark&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
