That is A LOT of birds! A Florida airport is hiring a full-time avian expert at $76,000 a year to stop birds from fowl-ing up its flights.
Up until now, airport staff took turns firing deafening flare guns and propane cannons into the air to ward off vultures, grackles, American kestrels, cattle egrets, doves, pigeons and occasionally a pelican or seagull.
“We’re not just hiring somebody you can find at a park,” said Mike Nonnemacher, the airport operations director for Broward County.
“The $118,000 is pennies compared to losing a $2 million engine,” he said. “We’re being proactive.”
Homemade hollandaise sauce has been on my bucket list since forever, but since I didn’t have a blender other than the magic bullet, I was out of luck to give it a try. But I recently made an investment on a gorgeous looking blender so I immediately went searching for hollandaise sauce recipes.

Check out this article written by a friend of mine who has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I went out for dinner with her recently to a local restaurant and they presented a gluten-free menu and then fried the food in a gluten contaminated fryer. When she kindly asked our server about it, the server was rude and annoyed with us.
Seriously, if you are a restaurant serving food and claim to have a gluten-free menu, do everyone a favor and educate your staff on what it is and what it means to cook gluten-free food. It really hurts your credibility and makes me question the quality of your food in general if you do not fully understand the disease. Furthermore, adding a disclaimer about how you cannot guarantee that the food will be completely gluten-free, proves that you are backing out of the commitment to fully cater to the people who suffer from this disease.
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.
