Board Games Are Back With Mississippi’s “Tortugas Games”
SUMMARY: Board games are experiencing a resurgence due to 2020 lockdowns, with the global market valued at $15.1 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $29.7 billion by 2028. Mississippi-based Tortugas Games, founded by lifelong friends Jon Micah Tyson and Nick Raynor, is contributing to this trend. Their first game, “Red Tides: A Tale of New Caribbea,” is a cooperative dice battler with RPG elements set in the fantastical world of New Caribbea. The game, currently in development and pre-launched on Backerkit, aims to provide a fun, immersive experience for players and has received positive playtester feedback.

SUMMARY: November 18-25, 2024, is National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Shoeboxes, an initiative by Samaritan’s Purse. Since 1993, OCC has distributed over 220 million shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items to children worldwide. This program brings joy not only to recipients but also to those who pack and donate the boxes. Families can participate by purchasing, packing, and dropping off a shoebox, or by donating online to help cover shipping costs. OCC offers resources such as packing instructions, gift suggestions, and local drop-off sites on its website. The true gift is the act of giving.

SUMMARY: As 2024 brings its own challenges, the season of Thanksgiving invites us to reflect and express gratitude. Consider volunteering at a food bank to help those who might feel alone during the holiday. Writing letters to loved ones can bring joy and appreciation. Gift-giving doesn’t have to wait for Christmas; surprising someone with a thoughtful gift can brighten their day. Additionally, offer assistance to someone in need during shopping. Simply telling someone you appreciate them can have a profound impact. Embracing a heart of gratitude transforms daily experiences into blessings and enriches the Thanksgiving spirit.

SUMMARY: Classic recipes often stem from necessity, such as the staple diet of rice and beans found in many poor countries. Dishes like gumbo and jambalaya utilize local, affordable ingredients. A prime example is coq au vin, made from an old rooster and slowly braised in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions. Key to this dish are herbs like bay leaf and thyme, while quality ingredients and technique greatly enhance flavor. It’s essential to take your time during cooking, perhaps enjoying a glass of wine in the process. Serving with ample sauce is crucial for a delightful dining experience.
