In our household, I generally do the cooking, at least for the main meal (dinner) on most days.
I wouldn't say I'm the most imaginative cook; I have a range of "specialties, but I realize there is a cycle of "favs" and that some of them do return now and then.
So, what could be better to run across than this website to whet my appetite for new fare at the dinner table.
Despite the "wacky" name, the recipes themselves are not way-out and more than a few are worth trying. You can also submit your tried-and-trues, too.

The Challenges Of Being A Responsible Digital Citizen
The world is indeed changing and the cliche is that the world of technology is changing the fastest. Don't know for sure if tech is changing faster than anything else but it is certainly moving at a clip.
The challenges for all of us is how to be residents of this digital world in a way that's safe and responsible. And for those of us who are parents and teachers have the added responsibility of trying to help the kids we work with learn to make "safe" decisions about how to use and be part of the digital world.
The link below will take you to a page on the Lowell School website that has some useful resources to think about and learn about digital citizenship. Quite a useful site.

San Francisco Earthquake
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 7.8 Richter scale earthquake that hit (some say "devastated") San Franciso at 5:12 a.m. Then, following the earthquake came the fires.
A few sites you might consider if you're interested in viewing this calamity that took the lives of more than 3,000 San Franciscians (some thing many more than that).
