It’s time to upgrade your summer drinks from flimsy plastic cups filled with blended fruit syrup and bottom-shelf booze. True tiki cocktails are made with quality spirits (mainly all kinds of rum) and real fruit juices. Plus, they are expertly garnished, making them as fun to look at as they are to drink. My favorite tiki drink to make at home is the Jungle Bird because it’s perfectly balanced (read: not too sweet) and simple to make with just five ingredients.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say there are certain foods I enjoy, but I can only eat them every once in a while. Either they take too much effort to cook regularly, or the mere act of eating them is too big a hassle. Mexican street corn, or elote, is one of those foods. It’s a delicious, summertime side, and it’s relatively easy to find here in New York City, whether I’m eating at a Mexican restaurant or from a food truck. Even still, I tend to avoid it because it can be messy to consume, and the kernels from the cob tend to get stuck in my teeth. Simply put, I don’t want to deal with that — especially if I’m out and about.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

This French Apple Crumb Cake is easily one of my top 3 favorite cakesof all time. However, I will say that calling it a cake feels a bit dishonest because while true, nothing about this cake is very cakey.

Since then, I’ve given up cauliflower. Not because I wanted to. You see, I have a chronic GI illness and the unsuspecting cruciferous vegetable has a rather rude ability to land me in the hospital.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
