As we wrap up the month of May on this Memorial Day, let's focus on the most recent 7 days, a pattern that repeated quite a bit all month!

So what do I do on a cold and rainy Friday in late May? I like spending time creating things in the kitchen! After much experimenting, I finally came up with a GREAT recipe for almond flour chocolate chip cookies. I share the recipe on this episode and on WeatherJazz.com. I'll also share a crazy story about a recipe I shared on the radio in Iowa in 1981, some 40-years-ago. Plus an update on the strange sounds coming from the oozing lava field in southwest Iceland.
