          <description>Are you this good?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/calamitylane/tags/flammable/&quot; title=&quot;Oh-So-Flammable Peanut Butter&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1338/1100386556_b7bb9322dd.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; alt=&quot;Delicious!&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

That's right.  I made a PBJ sandwich so bad that &lt;em&gt;the jar of peanut butter immolated.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It was actually kind of tasty, afterwards.  It's no coincidence that Michelle does most of the cooking.How good is your cooking?</description>

          <title>Introducing Harley Quin</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;Well, we finally got a new pet!  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It took us a while to get past the grief of Nanako&amp;#8217;s passing, but we finally felt ready to get another kitty.  We searched petfinder.com and made a list of about 20 cats who were just unbelievably cute!  Then, we ran into problems.  We couldn&amp;#8217;t possibly have 20 cats!  All we needed was one, maybe two!  So, we tried to cull.  But really, how can you cull out the cutest little pair of kitty eyes in the whole world?  Much less 20 pairs?!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
