		<description><![CDATA[The devastation is almost too much to fathom.
Like many of you, I&#8217;ve been following the cataclysmic tragedy in Haiti, and the stories and images are heartbreaking. Estimates are that over 50,000 people are dead, another 300,000 homeless, and countless more injured. All this in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
At Chasing Dirt, providing shelter [...]]]></description>

I just finished a lovely dinner with my old friend Lana (old as in known her for a long time, not old as in she&#8217;s geriatric), and she asked a question over her rosemary herbed rack of lamb that I thought I&#8217;d share with you.
