For your edification and enjoyment... the Word of the Day at Dictionary.com from two days ago (much too good and, somehow, relevant to leave behind):
Cockaigne kah-KAYN, noun:
An imaginary land of ease and luxury.
Everyone was seeking renewal, a golden century, a Cockaigne of the spirit.
-- Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum
Cockaigne comes from Middle English cokaygne, from Middle French (pais de) cocaigne "(land of) plenty," ultimately adapted or derived from a word meaning "cake."
mmmmmmm.... cake.......
