Ming Tsai Online

While I may not be one to pull out the pots and pans for supper, I do like spicy food. Apparently so does Ming Tsai, host of several television programs and author of two books. There's a lot of commercial stuff (shopping links) but there's also a lot of free stuff. Weekly recipes are made available along with a recipe archive. Unfortunately I couldn't find any search facility available. Apparently you can also visit Apple's iTunes site and get free downloads of his weekly podcasts by typing "Simply Ming" in the iTune search box.

Sports: The Wonderful World of What If...

If you aren't playing some fantasy sports game yourself, you probably know several folks who are. These are the people that What If Sports is designed for. Not being exceptionally conversant with these type of games myself, I'll defer to WIF's self description.

"We have established ourselves as the Internet's foremost authority on simulation for MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA and college basketball. Whatifsports.com has expanded to include SimLeagues(tm)™ that allow users to create teams of their all-time favorite players and pit them against other user-created teams, as well as Dynasty games that put users in complete control of college sports programs."

Membership is free.

Street Magic

If you like performing magic tricks, StreetMagic might be just what you're looking for. It's a free online magic magazine (Subscribe at Magic Roadshow). It claims to provide information you won't find in books at the public library or even at the local magic shop. Instead it offers techniques for preparing and presenting your illusions to an audience up close. The home page carries endorsements from various magicians and other magic magazines.
