		<title>Crazy, Glaze-y Days of Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Readers, it&#8217;s been a crazy summer. Happy to report that the Husband and I have been putting our former neighbor&#8217;s cast-off Weber to good use. A recent weeknight dinner was inspired by a New York Times recipe for a Stout Citrus Glaze.
Lacking a true stout, I used a random bottle of Java Vanilla Porter from [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 30: avec</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
avec
615 W Randolph (at Jefferson)
For the last of our April dinners out, we chose avec, which is where the Husband hatched the whole idea a few months back. I adore everything about this place but the noise.
We met up after work with a friend. The three of us huddled around the end of one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 29: FAIL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were supposed to meet up with a friend and his lady who were visiting from L.A. The Husband&#8217;s flight home from D.C. was delayed. I had some work to do. We bailed on the plan.
I decided to stay home. My dinner consisted of olives, some addictive crackers, an apple, and slices of a brown [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 28: Crust/Matsutake Sushi &amp; Steak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Husband had taken an evening flight to D.C. He and a colleague ate at Matsutake Sushi &#38; Steak at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Main Terminal).
This second part is painful.
After working late, I ordered delivery from  Crust:  an arugula salad  and my favorite, the  sausage pizza topped with shaved fennel. I found [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 27: Jane&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Jane&#8217;s
1655 W Cortland (at Paulina)
Still reeling from the previous night&#8217;s extravaganza, the Husband and I agreed we should aim for simplicity. Also brevity, as we had an early morning meeting with our contractor the next day. So we headed to Jane&#8217;s, a friendly neighborhood place with a consistently fresh, yummy menu.
The Husband ordered a delicious [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 26: L2O</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
L2O
2300 N Lincoln Park West (at Belden)
After a last-minute rescheduling, at last it was time for our April dinner orgy. We&#8217;d heard great things from friends who have been here and had read the accolades in the press. I was excited. I love seafood. I got a manicure.
L2O is off of the lobby in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 25: Butterfly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Butterfly
1156 W Grand Ave (at Racine)
After a meat-themed stretch of meals, I was craving vegetables and non-animal based protein. And I couldn&#8217;t bring myself to force the Husband out for dinner after he worked all afternoon and evening. So, tonight&#8217;s dinner was delivery from Butterfly. Not much finesse or revelations on their menu—except for their [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 24: Small Bar</title>

Small Bar
2049 W Division (at Hoyne)
After a morning of errands, massages, and finish and fixture sourcing for our new house, we stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at Small Bar. A staple in our neighborhood, Small Bar has pleasant staff, no-frills decor, a massive beer list, and good burgers. Also dedicated soccer fans on game [...]]]></description>

		<title>dinner no. 23: Erie Cafe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Erie Cafe
536 W Erie (at Larrabee)
After a long week, I wanted a straightforward meal of red meat and red wine. Nothing requiring too much focus. No scene. No wait for a table. And quiet, which can be hard to find in Chicago restaurants. We decided on Erie Cafe, an old-school-style Chicago steak house right on [...]]]></description>

Whole Foods
30 W Huron (at Dearborn)
An evening return home from a business trip and a long week had me thinking that the Husband might not feel like going out. So I cheated and went to Whole Foods on my way home to procure an assembled dinner. I bought baby greens, grape tomatoes, a loaf of [...]]]></description>
