		<title>Make-ahead Latkes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing beats home-made latkes (potato pancakes).  They are primarily potato and onion, but some people make them &#8220;mushy&#8221; with the potatoes and onion ground to a pulp.  Others make them with the potatoes shredded like hash browns.  Either way there&#8217;s a lot of prep on the day you make them.  This recipe was designed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keurig Single Cup Coffee Brewing System</title>

		<title>Drunken Noodles (aka Thai Spicy Noodles or Pad Kee Mao)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drunken Noodles is one of my favorite Thai dishes.  Some restaurants call it Spicy Noodles and the actual Thai name for the dish is Pad Kee Mao which literally means Stir Fried Shit Drunk.  No one really knows why this dish has this name as there&#8217;s no alcohol in it.  The best explanation I&#8217;ve heard [...]]]></description>
