		<description><![CDATA[Sorry to get political. I was commenting on my friend Cheryl&#8217;s blog, 5 Second Rule, and I got a little carried away. So, rather than embarass Cheryl any further, here&#8217;s what I would suggest as signature dishes for the candiates:

		<description><![CDATA[Given the cost of gas and the current economic climate, you may find yourself staying close to home this summer. There is no shortage of things to do in the Pioneer Valley and probably no shortage of things to do around the house as well.
