Today in History: 1994 - DWI - Drunk While on Internet Senate Bill
On this day in history, the Senate proposes a bill to make being online while drunk illegal. “Congress apparently thinks that being drunk on a highway is bad no matter what kind of highway it is,” says John Dvorak (the nephew of the keyboard inventor).

On the Menu Today – Meatball subs
Today is a Friday in Lent which means that many across the world are not allowed to eat meat. This recipe was picked specifically for them. When I make this tonight, I will probably leave out the coconut since Im not a big fan of it unless it is cooked in mounds bars.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Cocoa Krispies, coarsely crushed
3 small scoops chocolate ice cream
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon seedless strawberry jam, divided
1/4 teaspoon hot fudge ice cream topping
1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
1/3 cup marshmallow creme
2 teaspoons sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 tablespoon unsalted sunflower kernels
Directions
-
Place cereal in a shallow bowl. Roll ice cream scoops in cereal to coat. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
-
Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl combine 1/2 cup jam and ice cream topping. Microwave on high for 10-20 seconds or until warmed. Cut pound cake in half horizontally. Place bottom half on a serving plate. Spoon half of the jam mixture over cake; top with ice cream scoops, remaining jam mixture, marshmallow creme and coconut. Replace cake top.
-
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining jam. Brush over top of cake; sprinkle with sunflower kernels. Serve immediately.
