		<title>Pickled Asparagus Experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tried a pickled asparagus experiment. I purchased 3 pounds of asparagus on sale, and decided to pickle the hell out of it. I used a recipe from the blog Food in Jars.&#194;&#160;It&#8217;s a great blog, but unfortunately in this case, the recipe was not a success. I have a theory why, which may be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gears, gears, gears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love machines that do nothing. You turn them, crank them, operate them, all to no practical effect. That satisfies me.
