#ManCandyMonday Mets Pitcher Jacob de Grom

Last year the Mets found themselves with a dilemma: three players with little d’s in their name. Travis d’Arnaud. Matt den Dekker (now with the Nationals). Jacob de Grom. Since there were no lower case letters in baseball, the Mets had to use updside down Ps. LOL. This year they added the lower case d.

Today’s cutie, Jacob is a pitcher for the Mets. He got off to a rocky start, but has bounced back with some solid outings. He’s currently 7-4 with yesterday’s win over the Diamondbacks. Jacob is a lean mean 6’4″ phenom who won the NL Rookie of the Year last year.

Grilling Your Food & Health Risks #TuesdayTip

This morning I was reading a magazine that mentioned the risks of grilling your food and the connection to cancer. Apparently there is no hard evidence about this, although there are some studies that say that grilling, as well as broiling and frying, can create some compounds that are associated with certain cancers.

There are steps you can take to lower the risk (if it exists).

  • Cook for less time at a much higher temperature.
  • Lower the temperature and cook the meat/fish longer.
  • Trim fat so you don’t get a lot of drips and flare-ups.
  • Clean all charred bits off the grill and take them off your food.
  • Cook fish which doesn’t create as many of the compounds that could harm you.
  • Marinate your meat/fish and use spices like red pepper, rosemary and garlic.

Hope today’s Tuesday Tip was a help!

#ManCandyMonday A Tale of Two Ryans

I have to say I was on the fence about Ryan until I started watching Crazy, Stupid Love the other day. Wow. So sexy. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish watching the movie, so I’ll have to track it down.

This is a Vine with Ryan Gosling created by Ryan McHenry, a Scottish film director who unfortunately died of cancer just a short time ago. Ryan McHenry was known for his humor and upbeat personality. RIP.

This Vine is from the Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal Vine series.

The two Ryans had some laughs over the Vines and here is Ryan Gosling’s tribute to Ryan McHenry.

#TeaserTuesday The Prince’s Gamble Romantic Suspense

Almost three years ago I released The Prince’s Gamble, a romantic suspense story set in Atlantic City.

I’m happy to say that I’ll be re-releasing that novel in early June. The re-release will include a print version of the book for those of you who love to have them as keepers. I’ll also be re-releasing the second book in the series, To Catch a Princess, in July.

Many of you had been asking whether there would be a third story in the series with the thief from To Catch a Princess and I’m happy to say “Yes!” Once I finish writing Embrace the Night, the next book in the Take a Chance series, I’ll get to work on a story for the thief.

#Throwback Thursday My First Book Signing

Today’s throwback is to my very first book signing. It happened in the Menlo Park Mall in Edison at the Barnes & Noble there. So exciting. They had me at a nice table toward the front of the store and gave me some flowers. My hubby and daughter brought me more flowers. This shot is of me with my daughter! How time flies.
