		<description><![CDATA[Remember that vineyard I showed you last week? Well, bud break is in full swing there now. The leaves are small, but they’ll grow like mad until the vines flower and produce fruit. The warm weather not only stirs activity in the vines, but in the vineyards as well. There’s work to be done from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Long Island dogfish and skate are generally thought of as junk. They ruin the fisherman’s day and are thrown back in disgust. Because these fish are meaty, tasty, and boneless they are actually very good to eat and really don’t deserve their junk status. If we had a better appreciation for these fish we’d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Snapper fishing on Long Island has definitely past it&#8217;s peak, but I&#8217;d thought I&#8217;d post this anyway. Every year near the end of August the snappers start feeding heavily before they venture out into the ocean to migrate. These fish are lean, mean, eating machines and that makes them a lot of fun to catch. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just 2 weeks ago we Long Islanders were complaining about the end of summer. How it went so fast and there wasn&#8217;t enough time, blah, blah, blah. But cooler weather has its rewards (aside from not sticking to the sheets at night). One of those rewards is my second favorite cookie of all time: Mallomars. [...]]]></description>

Nicky&#8217;s Clam Bar is located at the Fire Island ferry terminal in Bay Shore. While business is busy with travelers riding the ferry, I think this restaurant would do well no matter where it was located. Here&#8217;s my full review of [...]]]></description>
