NATIONAL WAFFLE IRON DAY – June 29

NATIONAL WAFFLE IRON DAY – June 29

Troy Warren for CNT   NATIONAL WAFFLE IRON DAY Waffle lovers finally have their day of recognition on June 29th as they celebrate National Waffle Iron Day. Some people enjoy their waffles plain with syrup, but we like ours topped with berries, whipped cream, too. Who knew a simple machine would make such a big impact on our lives! The waffle iron is usually two honeycomb-patterned metal plates hinged together. A person pours or places the batter between the heated plates and then closes it to bake the waffle. Other patterns waffle off and on the market reflecting pop culture…

These space-saving hacks will make your tiny kitchen feel huge

By Kiersten Willis, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Among the kitchen trends for 2021 are space-saving options or those that can help the room function beyond a space for preparing meals. Homes & Gardens’ list of in-vouge motifs includes various storage options, including pantries and in-drawer appliances. “Storage is, and will continue to be, a big part of the kitchen space. For those with smaller kitchens, the need for clever storage in this space is crucial in terms of efficiently utilizing the room you have,” Paul Jenkinson, founder managing director of British kitchen brand LochAnna Kitchens told the publication.

Cannes Hot List: Letitia Wright Drama, Ewan McGregor Survival Thriller Among Films Set to Heat Up the Festival

BY SCOTT ROXBOROUGH | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT Despite a year of turmoil and uncertainty, a bumper crop of star-driven projects at the market has sparked optimism among dealmakers: "Demand from buyers has held up and supply hasn’t really been affected." Despite a year of COVID-19, virtual markets and online-only releases, the independent film business has found ways to make and release movies worldwide. Sales at the Virtual Cannes Market in 2020 — the first online-only film market held after the pandemic hit — were near record highs, and Toronto and AFM were similarly bullish, leaving sellers heading into Cannes’…

Supreme Court Won’t Stop Antitrust Trial for Comcast

Supreme Court Won’t Stop Antitrust Trial for Comcast

BY ERIQ GARDNER | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT The high court won't take up Viamedia's suit on the advertising front after Biden's Justice Dept. recommended against review. Comcast’s hopes of avoiding an antitrust trial with Viamedia were dashed on Monday when Supreme Court rejected the cable giant’s petition for review. Viamedia is suing Comcast for monopolizing local TV ad sales. The plaintiff alleges that Comcast is using its control of “interconnects” — local cooperatives serving pay-TV providers — to pressure ad clients from being represented by Viamedia. The five-year-old case was revived in Feb. 2020 by the 7th Circuit. The key legal issue in…

Box Office: How ‘F9’ Sped to Record $70M U.S. Opening

Box Office: How ‘F9’ Sped to Record $70M U.S. Opening

BY PAMELA MCCLINTOCK | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT The ninth installment in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise scored the biggest launch yet of the pandemic era. Waiting to rev up the engines was worth the wait for F9. When the COVID-19 crisis struck in the U.S., Universal decided to push back the ninth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise by a full year, versus taking a chance on the latter half of 2020 as other tentpoles did (unsuccessfully). As it turned out, many theaters didn’t begin reopening until late spring 2021. Over the weekend, F9 sped to a record $70 million in its North American…

2021 Ford Bronco Is as Refined as It Is Rugged

2021 Ford Bronco Is as Refined as It Is Rugged

BY DAVE VANDERWERP | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT We knew Ford's new Bronco would be seriously great off-road, but where it really one-ups the Jeep Wrangler is in refinement. Faced with the choice of which of the many trim levels to pilot on the paved-road portion of our much-anticipated first drive in the new Ford Bronco, we went straight for one with the knobby, 35-inch mud-terrain tires that come as part of the optional Sasquatch package. While that might seem counterintuitive, we had full faith that the Bronco would be plenty capable off-road. What we really wanted to know is just…

This Is the Most Popular Food Experience in the World, According to Tripadvisor

By Maria Yagoda | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT It involves shrimp and grits. Every year, Tripadvisor surveys the top-rated food experiences offered on its website, and in 2021, the activity was appropriately socially distant: a food and wine walking tour of Charleston, SC. The tour, called "Undiscovered Charleston: Half Day Food, Wine & History Tour with Cooking Class," guides guests around the city to eat at some of the top establishments in the city's historic dishes. Local chef Forrest Parker then prepares lunch, demonstrating how to make three Lowcountry recipes that are paired with wine. Globally, the booking website's most popular overall…
