		<description><![CDATA[
I had a fun day yesterday &#8211; I spent it at emergency at the Royal Children&#8217;s Hospital with Mr 6. He has been sick for quite a while I was tired of being told it was &#8220;just a virus&#8221;. I wanted a doctor to investigate further, so off we went.

I checked our meat supply, and we had heaps of sausages, so I thought Devilled Sausages would be nice, and something a bit different. I first went to the recipe books &#38; couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
