		<title>Consumption In The Time Of Recession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Times are tough or so every newspaper, news show, nosy neighbor, etc. says.  Perhaps you&#8217;ve even begun to feel the pinch every time you go food shopping or to the gas pump &#8211; and by pinch, I don&#8217;t mean one of those light playful ones given by a lover or your football coach BUT [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ency.wordpress.com&blog=1427296&post=54&subd=ency&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Forest Hills Food Venture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forest Hills is only one express stop away from Jackson Heights but we rarely venture over there for food.  There&#8217;s such great food all around us.  Up until tonight I&#8217;ve only eaten at Ran (Sushi), Johnny Rockets, and Nick&#8217;s Pizzeria.
Tonight we tried out Bann Thai on Austin Street.  The dishes we tried were good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ency.wordpress.com&blog=1427296&post=51&subd=ency&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The universe has decided that my theme song these days is Howie Day&#8217;s &#8216;Collide&#8217;.  Why?  I don&#8217;t know.  Since my life lately has been going pretty swell despite a few bumps along the road to hell.  But it seems everywhere I go- this song is playing in the background.

		<title>Crystal&#8217;s Cafe In Jackson Heights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We finally made it over to Crystal&#8217;s Cafe in Jackson Heights/Woodside.  We live only a few blocks away but somehow always seem to forget about this place.
