select two attributes in a node using LINQ

Question

I have the following node:

<NodeA desc="Cheap Item 1" category="Cooking" />

I selected the 'category' attribute using the following:

.Where(attr => attr.Name == "category")
.Select(attr => attr.Value);

How can I select both the 'desc' and 'category' now

Edit I think I was actually misunderstanding your original question. The code below should find the proper node in a list of nodes and select out it's desc and category properties.

var contents = nodes.Where( n => n.Name == "NodeA")
                    .Select( node => new { desc = node.Attribute("desc")
                                                      .Value,
                                          category = node.Attribute("category")
                                                          .Value
                                         }
                     );

var desc = contents.desc;
var category = contents.category;
