On August 24, 79 A.D. Mount Vesuvius erupted in a huge explosion. When it erupted, it destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. In it's aftermath, it was estimated over 3000 people were killed.
It exploded a second time in 1631, claiming the lives of approximately 3500 people.
So on to the sandwich! It's not *too* terrible. It isn't pretty, but I think I get points for trying! We used gummy worms for the "flowing" hot lava. And Cheez-Its to surround it. The dark spots on top are 2 red jelly beans. My 7 year old thought it needed them, I couldn't argue with her.

| Vesuvius Day--Volcano Sandwich |
Today is Kiss and Make up Day. I can't seem to find the origin of this "holiday". However, here are a few fun facts about this day (August 25th) in history:
1939: The movie "The Wizard of Oz" opened around the United States.
1718: City of New Orleans is founded.
OK, so there are a lot of things that happened on this day in history. However, it appears the twins are not letting me sit and search and type. So for now, you'll have to settle for 2 random facts.
And to end the post, here is today's sandwich.
