Home of Poi - For all your Poi, Fire and Juggling needs. Fascinating Underground Homes. The World's Biggest Cave. National Geographic presents The World's Biggest Cave, a TV special that gives us a close-up look at Son Doong, a huge recently-discovered underground labyrinth in Vietnam. In 2009, a team of British cavers investigated a recently uncovered cave in a remote Vietnamese jungle. The Son Doong cave is enormous; can it be larger than the current world-record holder? The explorers traveled for miles through the cave before hitting a 46-foot-high wall. Now, follow the team as they return to Son Doong to finish exploring the cave and climb the wall.

Will Son Doong prove to be the worlds biggest cave? And what secrets are undiscovered inside this unique ecosystem? The special airs Monday, December 20th at 10PM EST. A half-mile block of 40-story buildings could fit inside this lit stretch of Hang Son Doong, which may be the world's biggest subterranean passage. Like a castle on a knoll, a rock formation shines beneath a skylight in Hang Son Doong.

You can do one of two things with this recipe: a) Make these brownies for your sweetie, as a lovely dessert to top off your romantic Valentine’s day dinner. b) Make these brownies for yourself, as a way to celebrate the fact that Valentine’s day sucks. I’ll be going with option B. I’ll try to show some restraint and not eat the entire pan…(y’all know how Oreos are my biggest guilty pleasure).

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Oreo Fudge BrowniesRecipe source: kevinandamanda.comPrint Recipe 1 box brownie mix (I used Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix) Eggs & oil (as called for by the brownie mix) 1 heaping half cup (6 oz) cookies & cream ice cream 1/4 cup hot fudge topping (chilled or room temp) Double Stuf Oreos 1. Edible Cups made from Jello. Jelloware cups are made entirely out of agar and come in three tasty flavors. The cups were designed to be thrown into the grass after they are used, as agar is a seaweed extract and actually nurtures the growth of plants.

I know this is a strange day to post about a refreshing, cold beverage, being we’re in a midst of a Snow Advisory but I’ve been drinking Orange Blossoms with Cranberry and Mint all day long and it’s just too good not to share.

I started making Infused Waters out of necessity. Being a poor college student and wanting some variety in my daily menu, I just took fresh fruit and picked some mint that was growing wild on campus and let it ferment for a few hours in ice cold water. But I had no idea that my inexpensive yet delicious beverage actually had roots in Spanish Cuisine a.k.a Aguas Frescas or Fresh (cold) Water!

Aguas Frescas is super easy to make. Just slice up some fruit, I like citrus the best, add a few sprigs of mint and place all of it in a pitcher, add water and chill. But you can make it more complicated by adding several different fruits or herbs. Sometimes I like to add a tsp or so of Rose Water to give the beverage a delicious fragrance.

10 Most Popular Autocorrects From December, 2010. How to win Rock-paper-scissors every time. I admit it. When I first heard there are actual tournaments for Rock-paper-scissors, sanctioned by the World Rock Paper Scissors Society, I laughed. I mean seriously, $50k to the winner of a game that requires no skill whatsoever? Absurd. Boy was I wrong. Rock-paper-scissors isn't just a silly game kids play or a way to decide who has to be the designated driver at parties. Males have a tendency to throw rock on their first try, inexperienced RPS players will subconsciously deliver the item that won previously, and paper is thrown least often, so use it as a surprise. 636x460design_01.jpg (JPEG Image, 636x460 pixels)

Frozen Hot Chocolate at WomansDay.com- Chocolate Dessert Recipes. Terrarium Centerpieces  The other week, my good friend Stephanie and I planned out a craft weekend.

Our mission: Terrariums. Not the kind you keep lizards in, but the kind you can seal up and watch the moss grow. It was fun, cheap, and easy, and while we were creating them I realized how awesome they would be as centerpieces at a wedding. They are totally unique, creative, and beautiful. We each made four of them, which just goes to show they are not even that labor intensive. Terrariums are meant to be long lasting, so you can even make some months before the wedding and still have them thriving in time for the big day. So lets get down to the nitty-gritty of how you can actually make them: Step 1: Materials • Glass containers in whatever size you heart most. . • Good dirt and rocks. . • Figurines or decorative rocks to place inside. . • Horticultural Charcoal. . • Moss (another one of those things you can find outside, but can also order if you don’t live somewhere it doesn’t grow naturally). - Paula Hayes - Eco Sphere.

I have a particularly tragic memory of looking at rental houses with my friend when he first moved to LA and finding one that actually had an avocado tree in the backyard.

I mean, a tree that was taller than the house and was heavy with ripe avocados This memory is tragic because my friend didn’t rent the house. If he had, I would have had a never ending supply to feed my avocado addiction.BTW – what are avocados, a vegetable? Some weird fruit? Either way, I really, really, REALLY love these…veggie-fruits from heaven. Let’s count the ways, shall we? 1. Guacamole is possibly my favorite food.2. Tagged as: Aioli, Appetizer, Avocado, Fries.
