Nightmare at Noon (Death Street USA, 1988)
"Just doesn't make any sense. Folks I've known all my life feuding with each other for no reason. Hospital filled with people bleeding green blood. Telephones and the radios don't work. And the damn cars breaking down at the city limits!"
"Think something's behind it?"

Hero (Hounds of Hell #1)
Tumblr media
You can get Hero at 15% off if you buy it at Changeling Press and use the discount code BIRTHDAY2023.
Jade -- I came back to town because my grandmother passed away and she was the only family I had left. Grams never wanted me involved with the MCs, but I always knew my father was a member. That was all I knew about him. Now he’s the president of Hounds of Hell MC. Or, as it turns out, he could also be the president of their rival MC, the Cottonmouths. Hounds of Hell MC sent one of their men, Hero, to keep me safe until my parentage gets figured out. No one is telling me why that’s necessary. I should go back to Providence. But I’m done with grad school, and there’s really nothing for me back there. And Hero is one beefy, gorgeous temptation of a biker. Part of me wants to stay here, in the home where I grew up. Part of me just wants him.
Hero -- When my prez gave me the babysitting assignment to keep an eye on the daughter he’s never known, I resented it. Until I got a look at her. Choosing me to protect her was the right call. The Cottonmouths took her from me once. No one is taking her away from me again -- no matter who has to die. I don’t care who her father is. Jade is mine.
Praise for Hero (Hounds of Hell MC 1)
"A quick read at roughly 90 pages, Hero and Jade’s relationship goes from zero to sixty very quickly. I loved it. If you like stories that feature heartwarming romance and alpha bad boys with a heart of gold, then you will love Jamie Targaet’s Hero. This is supposed to be the first book in the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club series, so I’m excited to see what other members and prospects the author will feature in the future."
-- 4 Stars from Dicentra, Long and Short Reviews
"I always expect a great story from Jamie, wonderfully written romantic moments, but this plot - filled with betrayals and odd alliances and mysterious parentage - there's a lot of moving parts and Jamie weaves them all together seamlessly. You'll love this little escape from the real world, I certainly have."
-- 5 Stars from Todd & Erin Collard, Amazon Review
"This first in the series was pretty awesome... highlights and leaves you wanting to know more about the MCs involved. Can't wait for another."
-- 5 Stars from DragonWolf, Amazon Review
"This book was great! Love Jamie’s writing and storytelling... hope more books come from this one or any story she wants to tell."
-- 5 Stars from Meghan, Amazon Review
"Hero was attentive, strong and determined. Jade was a breath of fresh air, and unaware of the strength that she possessed. I recommend this book! The characters were spot on, and I read this through one setting."
-- 4 Stars from Krystinna Collett, Amazon Review
"This story had me all caught up in its drama!"
-- 4 Stars from Merry Jelks-Emmanuel, Amazon Review
"Hero and Jade are beautifully written. I really enjoyed this book."
-- 5 Stars from Tracyah, Amazon Review
"An engaging story line and endearing characters made this an entertaining read from beginning to end."

Hey Tortblr,* anyone see any reason not to feed a Russian (Horsefields) tortoise kale or collard greens (as part of a variety)? I was looking up stuff to feed Todd, looking for something new, and I stumbled across a couple of people saying you shouldn't feed these to them. Which is weird, as they're usually recommended so much.
Just wondered if anyone else had heard this, and if there's any reason I shouldn't be feeding them to Todd. (I'm over-protective and get worried over him.)
*Or tortoise side of Tumblr, if you prefer.

i sometimes think that jason is all-muscle-cool-motorcycle-guy but inside he is such a NERD. like he reads pride and prejudice and does book reviews on goodreads. if he’ll ever have kids he’d be the tries-to-be-cool dad. not to mention the batfam making fun of him lol
Oh 100% Jason Todd is a HUGE nerd
Like when he was a kid all he wanted from Bruce was books (and love but that’s not why we’re here right now)
He TORE through Bruce’s library
And he definitely dressed like a lil nerdy 12 year old w his soft sweaters and collard shirts
Bruce still gets him stacks of new books and he has a huge list of books he knows Jason has already read so he knows what not to get him
Jay definitely breaks into the manor to steal books from Tim and Damian
(He and Bruce have reading days where they sit in silence and just read book in the library 🥺)
Dick makes fun of him CONSTANTLY and Jason is just 😠 because he’s big and TOUGH and so what if he loves to re read Little Woman because fuck you it’s a good book
When he and Damian fight, Damian just goes “I might be 4’11 but at least I’m not a NERD” and Jason goes crying to Bruce
I love him fuck

We’ve put all of that coverage right here for your enjoyment.

Jay Glazer, Fox Sports NFL insider
Glazer shed some light on new Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy’s character. You’re not going to want to miss his insight on Jimmy Johnson’s Hall of Fame announcement, or his story on breaking the news to Michael Strahan that he wasn’t going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Tumblr media
Chad Millman, chief content officer for The Action Network
If you’re interested in sports betting and you don’t have The Action Network app on your phone, Ochoa and Millman will convince you to change that in this podcast. Chad also looked back at his Project 256, where he bet on every single NFL game in 2019 and won 56 percent of those bets.
Akshay Khanna, GM of sports at StubHub
Khanna was kind enough to join us to talk about all things Super Bowl tickets and the data behind it. It’s a fascinating and fun listen.

— D. Orlando Ledbetter (@DOrlandoAJC) January 29, 2020
Joe Theismann, former Washington QB and Super Bowl champion
If Theismann had to pick between playing for the Niners or the Chiefs right now, he’d still choose Washington. Tune into this one for some excellent insight from a legendary player.

Darren Rovell, sports business analyst for The Action Network

The Flash TV 6.01 premiere
Hey hey it’s time for random thoughts after watching The Flash TV show 6.01 premiere. Spoilers ahead.
Ok the first half was like really clunky written, to the point where I was like “wow this is awkward”... and then it got much better in the 2nd half? So that was a shift?
That black hole exploding device is just a... ball thing with inverted screws. There’s like 10 screws with the pointy bits facing out. IDK why this bit of prop making is bothering me.
Me: “This, uh, this is a really heavy, working-thru-feelings eps. For a premiere.” I mean, the ending of season 5 meant that this was... probably fair? But it’s a lot...?
Dibney-love-interest-chasing is... clunky.... Dibney Book of Advice, however, was a good gag. I mean I groan every time the writers tote this out. But also, it is kind of a very good gag. And visually, the advice manuals have gotten larger and more elaborate each time, which I kind of appreciate.
Me: “Oh look at this British Indian man, I wouldn’t mind if he and Caitlin were paired... [10 min later, coffee scene, character starts actually talking about his Mum’s* death and how “she didn’t fight”....?] Oh never mind, no. [Character is revealed to be a full on baddie and he storms out] Oh. Making a Man of Color a baddie, are we.”
(*Also, he says “cuppa”, but didn’t he call his mother “mom”, not “mum”? Or did I make that up?)
So we are putting in Chester as a character and being like, hey, if we have a good hero black American MoC we can have a baddie Brit-Indian MoC and it evens out? ....I mean at least we HAVE some more PoC, whoo hoo?
I might be watching ep 6.01 (and maybe the whole season) in a biased way. Having learned that Eric Wallace (one of the longtime Flash showpeople and a black man) is now the showrunner  --- I keep being like “Oooh I feel like that element here, that element there, that’s reflective of finally having a black person / black man / PoC finally being showrunner.” Like, the soul food, collard greens bit. And also Chester character as a whole (who I like already). (Although the Natalie thing is a bit meh for me.)
(So like Wally West and also Jax are just... not here.... or ever coming back or what....)
OH WAIT SO one of my “wishes for season 6” that I wrote about came true! -- “Todd Helbing disappears from the writing credits.” That guy is working on some other WB project and he’s out of the Flash TV show! Great! Condolances to whatever project Helbing’s working on! Haha yes I am very salty!
I didn’t even realize Helbing was a showrunner for the last two seasons (apparently he took over after Kreisberg was fired). But yo the eps he specifically wrote? Always had characters shouting and hitting desks and women characters got treated pretty weirdly. If we want to connect Helbing to the last two season of The Flash TV show being weird, I’m okay with that.
Speaking of season 6 wishes, are there black women writers? So we can finally have black women write Iris? I haven’t checked.
What else did I put on my Season 6 wish list/predictions ---
“Flash Suit gets a redesign for the better” --- Yes, the chin strap design is back, it looks better already.
“I write in my notes, “Opening episodes -  help, what’s going on”. I kind of like being thrown for a loop. Might as well go do something weird, people.” --- That is indeed what happened. Black hole? What? Also, wow, the amount of technobabble as characters reached a solution. Like a souffle of technobabble.
“Without killing off characters – can we maybe have, like, a slightly trimmed ensemble cast? I said this before, but there’s just so many people!” --- Characters did have their moments more in this ep, it felt better.
“More singing/dancing eps. Use your cast member resources, show runners.” --- We’ll see.
Apparently my season 5 predictions included something about Barry Allen getting quasi-fired from his job, again. In season 6, is there even a pretense that this character actually works and does CSI stuff? Wait, was there like one scene? Okay, so we’re still pretending he’s kind of doing a normal job somewhere.
Also Iris is actually doing newspaper things now. I read somewhere that the show people were going to bring that back and properly make that a thing, nice.
I kind of like Cisco being Done with everything.

Atlanta’s Todd Richards delves into his journey as a chef in “SOUL” - ArtsATL
Black American chefs and cooks are often typecast as the experts of only one cuisine—soul food, but Todd Richards’ food is anything but stereotypical. Taste his Hot-Chicken-Style Country-Fried Lamb Steak or Blueberry-Sweet Tea-Brined Chicken Thighs as evidence. While his dishes are rooted in family and the American cuisine known as soul food, he doesn’t let his heritage restrain him. The message of Soul is that cooks can honor tradition yet be liberated to explore. Todd Richards celebrates the restorative wonders of a classic pot of Collard Greens with Ham Hocks, yet doesn’t shy away from building upon that foundational recipe with his Collard Green Ramen, a reinterpretation that incorporates far-flung flavors of cultural influences and exemplifies culinary evolution. Page after page, in more than 150 recipes and stunning photos, Todd shares his creativity and passion to highlight what soul food can be for a new generation of cooks.  Whether you’re new to Southern and soul food or call the South your home, Soul will encourage you to not only step outside of the box, but to boldly walk away from it.

For Todd Richards, Soul Food Is a Gateway, Not a S...
New Post has been published on http://kitchengadgetsreviews.com/for-todd-richards-soul-food-is-a-gateway-not-a-s/
For Todd Richards, Soul Food Is a Gateway, Not a S...
amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "a841500-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Products"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "cooking"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "Kitchen"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "51fe4d035c7af8dc5928e6f5e5b79c4e"; amzn_assoc_default_browse_node = "284507"; amzn_assoc_rows = "4"; amzn_assoc_design = "text_links";
“My ancestors were slaves. Like our grits, they ate fufu, like our air-dried meats they made biltong, and, as we do, they used salt and vinegar as a means of preservation,” writes Todd Richards in his new autobiographical cookbook, Soul. “The flavors used in Soul cooking remain an expression of where we came from. Equally important, how we cook today defines where we want to go.”
Born in Chicago and based in Atlanta, with roots tracing back to West Africa, Richards has dedicated much of his life to bucking the stereotypes that often surround black chefs. The two-time James Beard nominee recalls early in his career when he walked into a high-end kitchen for an interview and the white chef asked him, “What are you going to do, make fried chicken and mac and cheese?” And the thing is, yeah, Richards makes some of the best damn fried chicken and mac and cheese you’ll ever taste. But that’s not the end of his story. Not even close.
Richards’ career has taken him from Kroger’s meat counter to the Ritz-Carlton, the Four Seasons, Iron Chef and beyond. Today, the self-taught chef is culinary director for Atlanta’s award-winning airport eatery One Flew South along with rapper Ludacris’ restaurant, Chicken+Beer. In 2016 he opened an upscale hot chicken stall in Atlanta called Richards’ Southern Fried. In 2017 he started a pop-up dinner series with chef Guy Wong and mixologists Krista and Jerry Slater. This year, he released his first book.
All this may seem a difficult balancing act, but Richards doesn’t flinch. “Quite honestly, I don’t know what people expect from me anymore,” he says. “Fifteen years a chef, with a passion for black culture. I’m alright with that.”
In Soul, which drops today, Richards presents 150 recipes illustrating the diversity of African American cuisine, interspersed with history lessons and influential anecdotes from his past. Like how watermelon went from “symbol of freedom for emancipated slaves” to “enduring racist trope”—and how Richards uses it anyway, taking back the stereotype and giving it new power. Like the way his parents used to mix collard greens with leftover fried rice from a nearby Chinese restaurant, because no culture is a vacuum. “I often wonder why food gets categorized in such sweeping terms,” he writes. “Limit the labels. You’ll liberate yourself in the kitchen, grow as a cook, and your taste buds will have better dining experiences.”
The dishes in the book, gorgeously photographed and loosely divided by ingredient, range from hot water cornbread to grilled sea urchin, peach salad to lamb meatball skewers with fig yogurt sauce. It may sound like a chaotic blend, but Richards makes it personal, and thereby makes it work.
“Black chefs are often limited by notions of soul food,” he says, “but you can use it as a gateway.” There’s power in claiming a cuisine, in insisting on its value. Richards points out that while soul food can take a long time to cook (even a simple pot of collards sits on the stove for hours), diners expect to pay very little for it. “From an economic standpoint, how can you have upward movement in society if you’re relegated to taking on the most labor and charging the absolute least?”

While a sense of cultural justice runs deep through Soul, so does the joy Richards takes in cooking and sharing his recipes. His shrimp hot chicken-style, which he serves over homemade grits croutons, is as playful as it is tasty, the coastal South reimagined.
“I wanted to progress the idea of shrimp and grits, but still make it familiar enough where a person could see the origin of the dish,” he says. Richards includes the shrimp shells and heads in his spicy, creamy sauce to maximize their shrimpy goodness, and eschews the exterior breading one might expect given the “hot chicken” moniker. “If you coat it and fry it, the essence of shrimp gets lost in the batter.”
As for the grits croutons? “Leftover grits solidify in the pot as they cool and usually get discarded as a round sphere of misfortune,” Richards writes in the recipe’s headnote. “Reheating isn’t ideal. Adding water creates a soggy, flavorless mess. Instead, cut cold grits into squares, fry them, and enjoy.”
Inherent in everything Richards cooks is respect for the food itself, and for the hands that made it, century after century. “Throwing away grits is sacrilegious,” he says. “I mean, how could you even think about throwing away something that took 40 minutes to cook?”
Richards doesn’t consider his book a political statement. To him, it’s just an honest story about family, about history, about hard work. “This book isn’t going to defeat Trump,” he says. “I think he’ll do that to himself. But it is a way to inspire the next generation of cooks. My hope is that they do far better than what I’ve been able to achieve.”
