		<title>the perfect gig food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ok, this recipe sounds a bit weird, but it&#8217;s tasty!!  it is my perfect &#8220;gig food&#8221;, meaning, it is light yet filling, doesn&#8217;t upset my stomach when i&#8217;m nervous, and it can hang out in my bag for hours without going bad.  i&#8217;ve taken the carrot/peanut part directly from nigella lawson, and the quinoa is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=presdemoncoeur.wordpress.com&blog=1311951&post=120&subd=presdemoncoeur&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
