Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News Service (TNS)I love biting into a buttery, toasted roll filled with a fresh shrimp salad. It’s a summer treat. Instead of buying cooked shrimp, this recipe has a two-minute foolproof way to cook your own. It keeps the shrimp juicy and flavorful. You can make the shrimp filling a day ahead and simply toast the rolls when you’re ready to serve the shrimp rolls.I like to buy frozen shrimp to have on hand. It’s easy to remove what you need. They take only a few minutes to defrost in a bowl of cold water.Helpful Hints:— Buy shelled shrimp.— You can use any type of pickles.Countdown:— Prepare ingredients.— Cook shrimp and make salad.— Toast rolls.Shopping List:To buy: 3/4 pound large shrimp, 1 bunch celery, 1 bunch scallions, 1 bunch fresh chives, 1 lemon, 1 small head lettuce, 1 bottle reduced fat mayonnaise, 4 whole wheat hot dog buns, 1 bottle bread and butter pickles.Staples: butter, salt and black peppercorns.———SHRIMP ROLLRecipe by Linda Gassenheime...How to throw a portable pizza party in your backyard

Who doesn’t love pizza?The Ooni Fyra 12, waiting to be put into action. (Jess Fleming / Pioneer Press)Crust, sauce, cheese, toppings: It’s the perfect recipe for a dinner everyone will love.My husband and I recently bought a portable outdoor pizza oven (ours is an Ooni), and we have been churning out pizzas for friends and family with abandon.It took a few tries for us to get the dough right, and I’m still experimenting there — sourdough and fermented dough are next on my agenda — but what we’ve accomplished so far is so fun and easy that I wanted to share.There are lots of options for portable pizza ovens, but we wanted an oven that was small enough to transport to the cabin or friends’ houses, and we were also hoping for some wood-fired flavor. We landed on the Ooni Fyra 12, which is fired solely through wood pellets — the same kind we use in our Traeger smoker/grill. It weighs about 20 pounds and has a carrying case (purchased separately) so is easy to transport, too.We have the ...$1.55 billion Mega Millions prize balloons as 31 drawings pass without a winner

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There is no mystery why the Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $1.55 billion, making it the third-largest ever ahead of Tuesday night’s drawing.The prize has ballooned because no one has matched the game’s six winning numbers since April 18, amounting to 31 straight drawings without a big winner. The nearly four-month-long unlucky streak could be all the sweeter for the person who finally lands the top prize, which is inching toward the record lottery jackpot of $2.04 billion won in 2022 by a player in California.“It’s a fun thing,” said Merlin Smith, a retired real estate appraiser who stopped Monday at a gasoline station in Minneapolis to buy five tickets. “But if you’re depending on winning, you’d be disappointed a lot.”WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO WIN?It has been a long stretch of jackpot futility, but Tuesday night’s 32nd straight drawing since the last winner still isn’t a record.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Appeals judges on Monday threw out a decision by a United Nations court to set up a procedure to hear evidence against an elderly Rwandan genocide suspect who was declared unfit to face trial.The decision likely means that Félicien Kabuga’s trial, which started last year in The Hague, will never be completed. The judges acknowledged this would be a blow to victims and survivors of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.Judges at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals halted Kabuga’s trial in June because he has dementia and could not properly participate in the proceedings.Kabuga, who is in his late 80s, is accused of encouraging and bankrolling the mass killing of Rwanda’s Tutsi minority. His trial came nearly three decades after the 100-day massacre left 800,000 dead. He is in custody at a U.N. detention unit in The Hague.After declaring him unfit to stand trial, judges said they would set up “an alternative finding procedure th...NATO and the EU send aid to Slovenia after floods that killed at least 6 and left many homeless

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Belarus began military exercises Monday near its border with Poland and Lithuania, a move coming with tensions already heightened with the two NATO members over Russia-linked Wagner mercenaries moving to Belarus after their short-lived mutiny in Russia.Both Poland and Lithuania have increased border security since thousands of Wagner fighters arrived in Russian-allied Belarus under a deal that ended their armed rebellion in late June and allowed them and their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to avoid criminal charges. Leaders of the two NATO nations have said they are braced for provocations from Moscow and Minsk in a sensitive area where both countries border Belarus as well as the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. They commented early in August after two Belarusian helicopters flew briefly at low altitude into Polish air space. Belarusian authorities denied their helicopters entered Poland.
