In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The Mai Tai cocktail isn't just the most iconic tiki drink. It's also a classic rum cocktail that's easy to craft at home and even easier to sip. Saying the words 'mai tai' makes us smile and elicits thoughts of sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. But better than saying the words, we love sipping Mai Tai cocktails whether we're on vacation, in a bar or at home.

Mug cakes became quite the rage here in the States a few years back, and now, they have made it across the Atlantic to Italy. I was so excited to see Tazza di Torta popping up on menus during my last visit to Rome. I decided it would be fun to take my favorite Italian dessert, affogato, which is simply a scoop of gelato served with a hot pour of espresso on top, with mug cake. The cake is simple and gets a nice rich middle from the chocolate hazelnut spread. Then, the espresso and gelato take you right to the edge, of the mug, and your seat.
