		<description><![CDATA[Not too long ago I received a review copy of "The Vengeful Djinn: Unveiling the Hidden Agendas of Genies" by Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Philip J. Imbrogno.  I really enjoyed the book and set about trying to verbalize what the book was about and why it was a worthy read.  The problem was, my mind kept wandering back to the introduction written by Philip J. Imbrogno.  It was just so good at explaining the book, and it did so in such a way that I couldn't wait to get into reading the book itself.  On a whim I contacted Llewellyn, the publisher of "The Vengeful Djinn" about being able to publish Imbrogno's introduction on The Magical Buffet for my readers, and much to my delight they said yes.

So without further ado, Philip J. Imbrogno's introduction from "The Vengeful Djinn"!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I frequently say that I love people who hustle.  It's a hard thing to define since I don’t necessarily mean "to earn one's living by illicit or unethical means," as Random House Dictionary says.  When I say I love the hustle, or people who have got their "hustle on", I'm generally talking about "to proceed or work rapidly or energetically, to push or force one's way; jostle or shove, to be aggressive, esp. in business or other financial dealings," as the rest of the 2010 Random House Dictionary entry states.  Kathy Griffin?  Hustle.  Perez Hilton?  Hustle.  David Pitkin?  Hustle.  However there is one lady who I put above all others when thinking about the hustle.  Is it Oprah?  Nope, it's a woman whose hustle was so potent that she, despite being an actual person, has become entwined with the Gods themselves.  (And no, it's not Madonna.  Just click into the article already!)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who are new to The Magical Buffet, you may not be aware that in October 2006, when we launched The Magical Buffet, it was actually a monthly e-zine.  Once a month our subscribers would have all the content emailed to them.  Since it was trying to follow a magazine-like format, I decided there should be a letter from the publisher, like most magazines have.

When we relaunched The Magical Buffet into it's new blog format, all of the old e-zine articles migrated over.  This means even if you're new, with a little time you could read all the content you may have missed from the "old days".  However my opening letters to my readers did not make it over to the new blog.  I didn't worry about it because they're "just letters", they're not "real writing".  But as time passed I started to wonder, was something missing by them not being here on the blog?  

So recently I started to read them again.  In truth, as a new reader you're probably not missing out on too much.  The letters were generally just filled with gratitude.  Thank you letters of the most earnest kind, published in response to the surprising outpouring of support and faith that I received, and continue to receive today.  I've always prided myself on loyalty, and it made me happy to see that many of the people who I thanked in those letters are people and organizations that I still interact with today.  It felt good to think that maybe I've done all right after all.

That said, there were a few letters that stood out.  These were letters that I found offered up a piece of who I am and what I believe to my readers.  Things that I thought I would like anyone who reads The Magical Buffet at any point to know about me, the person behind the keyboard.

This is one of those letters......

		<description><![CDATA[It's not that I never think of Russia, except that honestly I don't really think about Russia.  Nothing against the country, just for some reason, they never really cross my mind.  That's why I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review "Russian Magic: Living Folk Traditions of an Enchanted Landscape" by Cherry Gilchrist.  I was hoping that I would come away with a refreshing understanding of a country that I had obviously overlooked.  I was right.]]></description>
