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.

Recipes to Get You Ready for July 4th
SUMMARY: As summer reaches its midpoint, the Fourth of July is a time to celebrate with flags, remember our heritage, and enjoy food with loved ones. Initially, I considered writing about flag displays or the historic July 2, 1776, independence declaration. Instead, I focused on sharing food tips, including a burger tip with chopped onions and peppers from Bess Robbins. For your Independence Day meal, I recommend a Sour Cream Flag Cake and a Watermelon Feta Flag Salad, both featuring patriotic colors. The cake includes layers of strawberries and blueberries, while the salad combines arugula, watermelon, and feta, dressed with a lemony vinaigrette. Bon Appetit!
