		<description><![CDATA[I parked the car about a block away from Eleni's (I was meeting Sara there for dinner), got out and tripped over about a dozen tipsy Santas coming from a rally in the park. I looked around and saw HUNDREDS of Santas, dressed in everything from red Lurex catsuits trimmed with white fur to the real, pillow-bellied deal.

What in the world? As I pondered, a lady Santa ran full-tilt into me, grabbed me by the shoulders and kissed me, full on the mouth. "MISSELTOE!!!!" she hollered, and handed me a tiny candycane before running to her next victim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rely on Gigi-the-iPhone, or Google Maps or Mapquest--or the address--and you will NEVER find Dalo's Kitchen. It's listed as being on Vancouver; it's actually on Williams just before Skidmore. If there are cars parked in front of the ferociously pink-striped cinderblock building you'll miss the small signboard placed AFTER the restaurant.

But keep trying, because Dalo's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a hidden jewel in Wilsonville (of all places): One of the tastier Middle Eastern restaurants I've encountered on the west coast. I'd driven by Dar Essalam a couple of times on my way to Fry's Electronics, and filed it under "new Moroccan restaurant" for future reference.

When I say "hidden" jewel, I mean it. Coworker Sara and I decided to try it tonight, and it proved so hard to find that we nearly didn't go (google "Moroccan restaurant in Wilsonville" and see what you come up with). I'm glad we did, because it was delightful.]]></description>
