Fun with marshmallows and 15 seconds of microwave heat. Warning: it's pretty hot even for that short a period of time -- and I had to work fast before it stiffened up. Surprisingly, it cleaned off really easily. Photo taken by David S. April (United States) - Artistic/Creative

While driving to church on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, I saw this lemonade stand where a group of children, with their parents, were raising money for the victims of Katrina.
