Here are the things
you shouldn’t miss today:
1. Mega Millions
Bit-Jackpot Game Is Back
Yup, yup, yup… all those who want to become an instant
millionaire can join in the mega millions big-jackpot game. For Friday’s
drawing, the draw can reach up to $240 million. The amount is the biggest in 20
months. The cash will be given can be up to $125 million.
Tuesday’s drawing will be different but it’ll still produce
$5 million for the winner. Although no one matched every number that has been
drawn last Tuesday night, there were five tickets that won the first five
numbers.
There was one ticket that won $5 million and it came from
Texas. The state of New York had two winners and each will receive $1 million.
Florida had one winner, as well as Illinois. Last Friday night, a ticket from
North Carolina won $3 million.
Compared before, the Mega Millions jackpot could easily grow
because the odds of winning the prize are tougher, i.e. 1 chance in every 259
million. The Powerball’s jackpot, on the other hand, has $60 million. Currently,
the Mega Millions has a bigger edge than the Powerball.
2. Frozen Musical
Comes Up Cold
Frozen is an adaptation of Snow Queen by Hans Christian
Andersen. Unfortunately, the classic animated musicals didn’t come up well. It could be caused by the unexpected plot
twists and lackluster humor.
On the brighter note, Frozen has modernized the Disney
princess. Thus, you’d expect to find all the stereotypes in this musical. It didn’t
only focus on the only person who can save the princess, i.e. the prince. It
also tackles the type of love powered by a bond between sisters.
Although the story didn’t capture the hearts of every
viewer, the animation was perfect and beautifully made. You’d find gorgeous ice
palace and the castle of the queen. They’d all remind you of the early days of
Disney. The crystalline snowflake had a 3D pop and all of its characters were
beautifully drawn. It was the weak screenplay that made it lifeless and wooden,
as described by some of its viewers.
Overall, Frozen will still appeal to young girls.
3. Would You Name
Your Kid Happy Thanksgiving?
I’d like to meet you Dr. Happy Thanksgiving Reynolds. Yup,
that’s her name. She was born during said holiday. Her parents are described as
hippies so they gave their daughter a very unorthodox name.
Her unique name wasn’t a hindrance in her practice. In fact,
according to her, it has helped her work in family medicine dealing with plenty
of kids. For her, the name makes people at ease with her and her patients
become super comfortable when she’s around.
4. Want to know how
to brine your turkey?
For most of the Americans who are celebrating Thanksgiving
Day, brining their turkey can be a bit daunting and challenging. Having crisp
skin that’s honey browned with tender and juicy meat. That’s what everybody
wants to serve.
There are several techniques and methods being suggested by
experts. You can go with roasted turkey or grilled one. But the most
recommended method by some experts is roasting and brining. These methods allow
the juices to say intact and let it flow when you’ll slice it. It works all the
time.
Recipes for brining turkey utilize different seasonings and
liquids, instead of focusing on basic salt water solution or just plain salt.
For wet brines, you’ll need fruit juices, wine, beer and ciders. You can season
it using white or brown sugars along with herbs, spices and some aromas. If you
opt for dry brines, however, you may include other seasonings and herbs but don’t
forget to add salt. Use orange juice to make it tastier, juicier and more mouthwatering.
