		<title>Meat and Bread</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing like a picture of raw meat in a blog.&#160; What this actually is is freshly ground chuck that I ground using an attachment for my Kitchen Aid.&#160; I have had the grinding attachment for years, and used it once to make sausage, which was not that good.&#160; A few months ago I thought it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer,  and a Flower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to the Jensen-Olson Arboretum last weekend to see what was still glooming.&#160; Saw this flower and took its picture.&#160; Saw that they were growing hops and have added hops to my list of new plants to grow for next year.&#160; Apparently, they grow well in Juneau, they just may not produce cones as it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot Pepper WIne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Started a batch of Hot Pepper Wine yesterday.  Why Hot Pepper?  Well, it should be a good cooking (and sipping?) wine that can double as Christmas presents along with other wines and baked items.  My new Christmas plan is to not buy presents for most people, just give them food and wine, and what better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Granite Creek Hike, and Scones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hiking this year has been sporadic, but the hikes that I have been on have been great. The picture on the left is of the Mendenhall Glacier taken from the West Glacier Trail. Did a quick 11 mile trip up the Granite Creek Trail yesterday.&#160; It was HOT.&#160; The temperature had to be at least [...]]]></description>

		<title>Granite Creek &#8211; 31 Jul 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;Went for a short hike yesterday, to Granite Creek. The hike was a total of 9.15 miles, with a total ascent of 1660 feet, and a total elevation of 1539 feet (where we stopped).&#160;&#160; Because of berries, bears, porcupines, a duck, and a lot of Salmon Berries, the hike took us 4 hours 35 minutes.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Braggot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look!&#160; A filthy stove!&#160; Actually, this is my hops and amber malt extract that just got done boiling for an hour.&#160; I have enough wine and mead either bottled or ready to bottle, as well as wine kits, to make about 200 bottles of wine.&#160; So, I decided that it was time to branch out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Killing Trekking Poles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really love my Leki Makalu carbon trekking poles, but I have killed my second pair in four years.&#160; I really believe that the first pair was defective, as it broke in a place where it should not have broken and there was very little pressure put on the pole at the time it broke.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiking.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, now that summer is almost over, and I start work in 16 days, we have started hiking again!&#160; The image on the left is from East Glacier Trail in Juneau, AK.&#160; It is a short, 3.5 mile loop (if you start where we start) that has an approximate elevation gain, as measured my my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strawberry-Rhubarb Wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Started a batch of Strawberry-Rhubarb Wine on the 21st.  The rhubarb is from my garden, and the strawberries are from Costco.  The berries that are in the primary have not been chopped up, as they were frozen.  I cut them the next day when they were thawed, and whole strawberries make for a better picture.

		<title>Bread, and The Head.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever read the ingredients on the bread that you purchase at the supermarket?&#160; I have, and since then, I have rarely purchased manufactured bread.&#160; So, lets take a look at what is in say, Wonder Bread: Whole wheat flour, water, wheat gluten, high fructose corn syrup, contains 2% of less of: soybean oil, [...]]]></description>
