		<title>PRODUCT REVIEW: M&amp;M&#8217;s PRETZEL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We finally tried the much-hyped candy.  I love chocolate covered pretzels.  These new M&#038;M&#8217;s are almost but not quite entirely unlike chocolate-covered pretzels (with apologies to Douglas Adams).  Very little chocolate flavor and even less pretzel.

		<title>BAH!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted anything homeschooling-related in about forever, but I couldn&#8217;t pass up this re-tread from the 1990s.  A couple of quotes:
