		<description><![CDATA[
It’s generally a bit embarrassing to admit that I try not to buy food in plastic packaging. It’s as if being vegan wasn’t restrictive[1] enough, as if cutting out all animal products didn’t have enough potential to make other people think I feel superior. Well I don’t. I don’t know why I’m compelled to do [...]]]></description>

When my mother informed me on the phone that she had stopped using her dryer,[1] I pictured my parents&#8217; tiny first floor laundry room that doubles as a guest bath thick with clotheslines and garments in varying states of dampness.  In the dead of a Midwest winter, they couldn&#8217;t have installed a clothesline outside, right?

		<description><![CDATA[These are the stragglers that didn&#8217;t seem to be ripening in situ. So I finally decided to pick them and give them a chance to ripen on the kitchen sill. If that fails, there must be something you can do with green tomatoes besides frying them&#8230;
