Juneteenth is rich with culinary traditions, namely centered around a beloved red-hued cuisine: barbecue. Here's why BBQ is such a staple food of this holiday.

Cream of mushroom soup is a staple in many kitchens, but making the most of this ingredient means being aware of some of the more common pitfalls.

Meaty grilled asparagus is topped with smoky-tangy grilled salsa verde, creamy avocado mayonnaise, and salty Cojita cheese for the perfect symphony of flavors.

Vixen has parted ways with singer Lorraine Lewis (pictured above), who joined the band in ’19 following the departure of founding member, Janet Gardner. In a statement via her social media Lewis noted that “the band has taken a different direction.” Vixen’s most commercially viable period was in the late-80s/early-90s with the albums “Vixen” (’88),”Rev It Up” (’90) which featured Garner’s vocals. The band’s latest full-length release was ’18’s live album “Live Fire.” Vixen has seen a number of personnel changes over the years with drummer Roxy Petrucci being the only remaining original member. ### The post Vixen Splits With Vocalist Lorraine Lewis appeared first on RockinTown.

I thought it would be best to give another shout out for this addictive yet simplistic little game called ‘King and Balloon’ by RMJ & JoeJoe. A 1:1 arcade port of Namco’s 1980 game for the Commodore Amiga, which was written in 68k assembler and based on the original Z80 code! To coincide with this news, not only do we have a new screenshot of the game to show you, but Saberman has done a video of the current build of the game which is at version 0.92 Beta. [embedded content] Here’s what the wikipedia says about the game. “The player controls two green men with an orange cannon, stationed on the parapet of a castle, that fires at hot-air balloons. Below the cannon, the King moves slowly back and forth on the ground as the balloons return fire and dive toward him. If a balloon reaches the ground, it will sit there until the King walks into it, at which time it lifts off with him. The player must then shoot the balloon to free the King, who will parachute safely to the ground. The cannon is destroyed by collision with balloons or their shots, but is replaced after a brief delay with no effect on the number of remaining lives. One life is lost whenever a balloon carries the King off the top of the screen; the game ends when all lives are lost. Requirement min. A500 (512Kb ram only) Features Original artwork and SFX Original gameplay including bugs Trainer included (Highscore is disabled when in use) Player controls crossbowman who can be moved from left to right to attack balloons. Balloons attack in squadrons of 42 balloons. Knock out the squadron and a faster moving one appears. Audio and video coincide when king yells “help”. it appears on the monitor.
