		<title>Safe Journey, Father&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I operate Maine Seaweed Company like a CSA (community supported agriculture), and visitors are welcome to come for a weekend (there&#8217;s no charge) in order to discover the source and spirit of their food.  During the first week of August, eight Russians and a Bulgarian from New York City came for a visit that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving Toward the Light: A Sweet and Sour Dish for Spring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In deep winter, we tend to eat more heavily cooked, salted and fatty foods, but now it&#8217;s time to lighten up. This is a basic sweet and sour dish, easy as making a salad and dressing. Once you have made it, you will come up with infinite variations. First, the sauce: In a cup and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Umami Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Umami is the fifth taste, after sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Both the tongue and the stomach have receptors for the taste which can be described as savory, meaty, or brothy. The umami receptors signal the body to start digesting foods, especially proteins. Umami is an underlying taste that makes everything else in this soup [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sea Gypsy Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a late fall soup that&#8217;s been warming us up. Outside there&#8217;s a bit of snow on the ground, daylight is short, and we spend more time in the kitchen, slow cooking our food. This soup has the warm colors of orange vegetables, flecked with green vegetables. Make a big pot, and I&#8217;ll show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building an Ark for the Winter Greens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some apprentices showed up in early fall and we framed up a new greenhouse. I&#8217;m totally happy with the way it turned out. An unheated greenhouse gives me the climate of New Jersey. The greens will freeze, but kale roots stay alive, and in the spring they will grow new tops (I intend to snap [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pear-Dulse Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taste it! Sliced pears (soaked in lemon water to prevent browning) encircling a bed of grated carrot, topped with chopped celery, toasted pecans, and rehydrated dulse cut finely with scissors or knife.

		<title>Veggie Soup with Seaweed Soup Mix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life evolved from single-celled creatures living in the nutrient-rich ocean. Seaweeds concentrate these nutrients, and when you make soup that includes seaweed, you are nourishing your body&#8217;s inner ocean that is around and in the cells of your body. The Seaweed Soup Mix offered at theseaweedman.com is a chopped blend that is 60% laminaria digitata [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hay Season on the Water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seaweeds have their seasons of peak vitality just like plants in the garden. In mid-May, kelp plants (laminaria longicruris and laminaria saccharina) are in their prime. On the land, dry air blows in with high pressure from Canada, and in the afternoon, a southwest sea breeze helps dry the kelp that is hung up on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Work Accomplished, We are Relaxed into Perfection.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In April when I launch the boats into the cove to start the seaweed harvest season, I always ask the universe directly for an omen. Then I listen and watch. (I&#8217;ve been doing this for forty years.) One year an eagle hovered over me. That felt like blessing and protection. One year I was standing [...]]]></description>
