Are you a supplemental oxygen user ? Please note that you are NOT allowed to bring your own oxygen on board a flight. Airlines will however, with enough advanced notice be able to supply you with the needed oxygen for your trip. Domestic US airlines require about 2 days prior notice , and international carriers from 5 to 7 days' notification. There is a charge for this service. It can range anywhere from $ 50 to $ 300 or even more. Most airlines will have a fee per segment, which means if you change airplanes two or three times to reach your destination, you can be charged the above amounts for EACH segment. It can cost you more than the ticket. We highly recommend that if you do need to travel with supplemental oxygen, check with a couple of different airlines. Even of the ticket price might be lower on one, the oxygen might be more expensive.

HEALTHY RECIPES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This is the fourth in a series of recipes taken from Wendy's new book, Foods for Life Essential Guidebook : Protect Your Heart with Body, Mind, and Spirit Foods. Thanks Wendy. Black Dog's Infamous Hunky Cookies This recipe was the jewel of my collection of transformed recipes created for the Black Dog Bakery. We received rave reviews from hard-core chocolate chip lovers. We surprised the locals who were still mad at me for taking away their donuts and sugary baked goods. Lines formed around the block each day to come into our little bakery. I felt like Robin Williams in his movie "Toys" only my dream was a bakery. In season we sold over a hundred dozen of these infamous cookies a day.
