And is the answer — “a million pizzas!” — a good idea?If you need inspiration for all those pies, page through “Fire & Slice: Deliciously Simple Recipes for Your Home Pizza Oven,” which was published by Ryland Peters & Small last year.“Fire & Slice: Deliciously Simple Recipes for Your Home Pizza Oven,” published by Ryland Peters & Small. The cookbook offers up recipes for pizza dough and focaccia, specialty toppings and all sorts of sauces, in case you get tired of the classic red stuff. Roasted red bell pepper, sundried tomatoes, garlic ...

Hawkeyes are pinning their hopes on transfer QB Cade McNamara to upgrade their woebegone offense

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:53:57 GMT

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — New Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara wants complete command of the offense, right down to how the Hawkeyes break a huddle.“I definitely want to start every play with a good break,” he said. “If we’re not in sync, it looks a little sloppy. If we have a clean break, it just gets the play started off right.”McNamara has yet to take a snap for the No. 25 Hawkeyes in a game, but the Michigan transfer is the key to reviving one of the nation’s worst offenses. Iowa won eight games despite being 129th in total offense, 123rd in rushing and 122nd in passing and scoring.McNamara takes over for three-year starter Spencer Petras, who completed just 55.9% of his passes last season with five touchdowns and five interceptions.“I’ve been here seven months now, and it’s been the best seven months of my life,” said McNamara, Michigan’s starter in 2021. “I’m enjoying my time here, building my relationships with these dudes. Everyone here has been so welcoming to me. Now that I’ve ...

He was 92.Avant, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles, according to a family statement released Monday.Avant’s achievements were both public and behind the scenes, as a name in the credits, or a name behind the names. Born in a segregated hospital in North Carolina, he became a man of lasting and wide-ranging influence, in part by minding two pieces of advice from an early mentor, the music manager Joe Glaser: Never let on how much you know, and ask for as much money as possible, “without stuttering.”Sometimes called “The Godfather of Black Music,” he broke in as a manager in the 1950s, with such clients as singers Sarah Vaughan and Little Willie John and composer...
