How do you pronounce Eyjafjallajokull?

Volcano, that's how! This volcano, located in Iceland, is making aviation history--and not in a good way. As of this writing, airlines have lost 100 million dollars because they cannot fly since volcanic ash coming from the volcano damages or even kills jet engines. If it were not for this disruption, it might be one fascinating event. Today's freebie is a site dedicated to volcanoes--which also features some great video of the eruption of this unpronouncable volcano.

Man cannot live on bread alone...

..and why would he want to when there are SO many good foods and good recipes that exist? On this day in 1930, the Twinkie was invented! Not a healthy food, but tasty nonetheless. Today's freebie is a site that has thousands and thousands of recipes. I have a large collection of cookbooks but I always find myself going to this site because the search engine makes it so easy to find just the recipe I need. Let the feast begin...
