  Kevin Stefanski Hands Over Browns Play-Calling Duties to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey: A New Era for Cleveland’s Offense In a significant shift for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided to relinquish his play-calling responsibilities, passing them on to recently hired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Browns’ offense, signaling Stefanski’s willingness to adapt in hopes of igniting the team's underwhelming performance on that side of the ball. The Decision to Step Back Since taking over as head coach in 2020, Stefanski has called offensive plays for the Browns. Under his leadership, Cleveland’s offense initially flourished, particularly during the 2020 season when the team made a rare playoff appearance, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Stefanski's offensive schemes, emphasizing a run-heavy attack and play-action passes, played a key role in maximizing the talents of qu...

Turkey Brine Time - Don't Forget The Bucket!

Today would be the last day to buy a new bucket for brining your turkey before Thanksgiving!

One essential that is often forgotten about before Thanksgiving is: What are you going to brine your Turkey in?

Well, there are only two answers to this question:  A 5-gallon bucket or a 5-gallon pot.

Now, since most kitchens are not equipped with a 5-gallon pot, its time to go buy a brand new 5-gallon bucket before stores close for Thanksgiving.

Wash the 5-gallon bucket out thoroughly in your bath tub with dish soap and rinse well (the soap hates leaving the plastic). 

Do not, as some people do, try to brine a turkey in your sink.  All that you will accomplish is contaminating your entire kitchen counter with watery raw turkey germs and bacteria!  A Thanksgiving recipe for disaster!

Brine Recipe:

First, the basics:

1 Cup of Salt (table, kosher, sea - it doesn't matter)
1/2 Cup of Sugar (Any variety, but cane is the least expensive)

The extras, but not necessary:

1 Tablespoon of Allspice
1 Teaspoon of Thyme

First thing when you wake up in the morning:

Pour the ingredients into a quart-sized pot
Add  two cups of water
Heat the brine on medium, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Let stand until room temperature.

Pour a gallon of water into the 5-gallon bucket.
Pour the brine into to water and stir.
Add a half-gallon (2 quarts) of ice and stir.
Place your thawed turkey neck down into the bucket (remove the turkey neck and giblets from inside the bird). 
If the brine doesn't completely submerge the turkey, add more ice.

2 hours later:

Rotate the turkey in the brine neck up.
Add more ice, if melted.

Allow the turkey to remain in the brine until 15 minutes before the turkey is ready for the oven.

Wash the brine off the turkey, pat dry with a paper towel.


Now, the non-shopper in your family has a brand new 5-gallon bucket to assist in the honey dos around the house while shopper takes advantage of Black Friday deals (or it could be used to go fishing).

Carter Family Statement about Health of First Lady Rosalynn Carter

Image
ATLANTA — The Carter family is sharing that former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia. She continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains and visits with loved ones. Mrs. Carter has been the nation’s leading mental health advocate for much of her life. First in the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, then in the White House, and later at The Carter Center, she urged improved access to care and decreased stigma about issues surrounding mental health. One in 10 older Americans have dementia, a condition that affects overall mental health. We recognize, as she did more than half a century ago, that stigma is often a barrier that keeps individuals and their families from seeking and getting much-needed support. We hope sharing our family's news will increase important conversations at kitchen tables and in doctor’s offices around the country. As the founder of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers, Mrs. Carter often noted that there are only fou...

Image
At the end of the final episode of the two-part series finale event, "Raymond Reddington: Good Night" (Season 10, Episode 22), Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) was killed in a surprising accident. Following years of his shenanigans, speeches, and introduction of countless Blacklisters, fans had to bid farewell in heartbreaking fashion. Below, NBC Insider breaks down the fateful moment, and why our favorite anti-hero met his end in such a specific way. How did Red die on The Blacklist'? While on a walk in the Spanish countryside, Reddington was trampled by a bull and killed. n the moments that led up to the fatal interaction, Red and the animal had a standoff, staring at one another before the bull began to charge at him. While fans didn't see the moment of impact, in the next scene Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) — who tracked Red down and zeroed in on him in Spain – spots Red's body from a helicopter and finds him crumpled, bloodied, and unresponsive...

U.S. Senate Passes Unemployment Extension

Image
The U.S. Senate passed a bill which had a provision for renewed unemployment extension benefits.  Florida's U.S. Senator Bill Nelson voted for the bill while Senator Marco Rubio voted against the bill. Following his vote against H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, Senator Marco Rubio issued the following statement: “This massive 1,200-plus page bill represents everything that is wrong with Washington. Our country faces major economic challenges, but Congress wasted the whole year stuck in partisan gridlock only to pass a funding bill that solves none of our problems, just to avoid a government shutdown.  This plan spends too much, wastes precious taxpayer dollars to fund a menu of job-killing regulations, anti-life provisions and earmarks, and has been ushered through Congress in a highly secretive and non-transparent manner that didn’t allow for consideration of even a single amendment. I cannot support it.” Both of Brevard County's U.S. Representa...
