Tom Hanks' WWII drama filming aboard USS Kidd this week
BATON ROUGE - Filming for Tom Hanks' next movie is underway in Baton Rouge. The WWII drama 'Greyhound' is filming aboard the USS Kidd Monday and will likely continue to film there throughout the week. Filmmakers were last onboard the destroyer in late March, testing out machinery before cameras rolled. Many in the area stopped to watch all the action.
No-Knead Make-Ahead Dinner Rolls with Honey Butter
No-Knead Make-Ahead Dinner Rolls with Honey Butter There’s nothing almost nothing better than warm, fresh, buttery homemade dinner rolls. The only thing better than the rolls is that the dough is a make-ahead and no-knead dough.
Toasted Coconut Brussels Sprouts
I think we’re all still pretty shocked that I actually enjoy brussels sprouts. And! Let’s take a moment thank the heavens above that I do or else… nary a vegetable would cross my lips. And in order to continue this… fondness… I have for the little green chunks o’ love, I gotta make sure they don’t overstay their welcome. Ever. Because I can’t get sick of the one plant type thing I’ve got going on. !!
Tom Hanks' Baton Rouge-filmed 'Greyhound' to release on AppleTV+
BATON ROUGE- Nearly two years after Tom Hanks' WWII movie 'Greyhound' was filmed in downtown Baton Rouge on the USS Kidd, the major movie release will be on AppleTV+ rather than in theaters due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The World War II drama, written by and starring Tom Hanks, will now premiere in 100 countries on the fairly new streaming device, skipping a traditional release. The film follows the commander of the titular Navy destroyer as it escorts a military convoy during the second World War. Hanks adapted the screenplay from the novel 'The Good Shepherd.'
DIY Hard Cider
Enlarge Credit: Chelsea Pomales I love hard cider, and after learning that most Americans used to make it at home, I decided to try it myself. I set my sights on a traditional English-style, dry cider—what most people would have been making a century ago—seasoned (since it’s the holidays) with mulling spices. Following the instructions in my home-brewing bible, True Brews: How to Craft Fermented Cider, Beer, Wine, Sake, Soda, Mead, Kefir, and Kombucha at Home by Emma Christensen (Ten Speed, 2013), I combined apple juice with the yeast, then added more juice and honey, along with yeast nutrient and pectic enzymes to help the fermentation along. Then in went my seasonings: vanilla beans, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and orange zest. I poured the mixture into a gallon-sized jug, attached an airlock (an inexpensive piece of home brewing gear that allows carbon dioxide to escape and keeps oxygen out) and let the mixture ferment for a month.
Cranberry and Pecan Vegan Cheeseball Recipe
Growing up as the only vegetarian in a big family of omnivores was pretty rough. Most of my holiday meals involved a plateful of sides, appetizers, or worse, hanging in there until after dinner and making a meal of dessert. My family has changed quite a bit since those days, and so have I. For one thing, I learned to cook, which means I’ve always got a dish in hand and will never go hungry again at a family gathering. For another thing, my diet has narrowed even more, so now in addition to being meatless, dairy is almost completely out as well. Fortunately, my family lately seems to be moving in the same direction.
Ice age mining camp found 'frozen in time' in underwater Mexican cave
At the end of the last ice age, Indigenous miners in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico risked life and limb — venturing into pitch dark caves illuminated only by fire — to extract a prized mineral, a new study finds. That mineral wasn't gold or diamonds, but red ochre, a valuable crayon-like pigment that prehistoric people used for both ritualistic and everyday activities, including rock paintings, burials and possibly even insect repellent. No one knows, however, how the Indigenous people of the Yucatan Peninsula used ochre.
