Posted in Forum: HSN TVThe Home Shopping Network is saying goodbye to many longtime staples.
As the network prepares to move from its current headquarters of nearly 50 years in St. Petersburg, FL, and relocate to sister network QVC’s location in West Chester, PA, nine of HSN’s television hosts will depart.
“Over the coming months, we will be saying farewell to Natasha Lloyd, Helen Keaney, Amy Morrison, Lynn Murphy, Marlo Smith, Valerie Stup, Rebecca Vargas, Michelle Yarn, and Guy Yovan,” HSN shared in a May 9 Facebook post, before adding, “At the end of the year, we will celebrate Bobbi Ray Carter’s retirement after 42 years!”
But amid the slew of departures, the network confirmed that many familiar faces will remain as they make the move to Pennsylvania.
“As we gear up to go live at our new studios in West Chester, PA, we’re thrilled to announce that Sarah Anderson, Debbie Denmon, Adam Freeman, Nicole Hickl, Tamara Hooks, Tina Jennings, Emily Lampa, Ty Mayberry, Callie Northagen, Suzanne Runyan, and Siaoming Wong will continue to be part of our HSN family,” the post continued, “maintaining the cherished connections we have with our customers.”
NATIONAL BARBECUE DAY | May 16
Each year on May 16 we celebrate National Barbecue Day in the United States. Whether you grill at home or grab some takeout, you will find Americans across the country enjoying an assortment of mouthwatering barbeque (BBQ) flavors and sauces.
In the world of barbecue, grillers decide how to cook their barbeque. Whether they choose charcoal, wood charcoal, wood, gas or slow cooking, they consider themselves the culinary expert of barbeque. Traditionally, Americans have four types of BBQ regions:
Kansas City – A variety of beef and pork cuts are slow cooked with a tomato and molasses-based sauce.
Carolina – Slow-roasted pork is cooked with a sauce with a vinegar and ketchup base combination.
Memphis – Dry rub pork is cooked low and slow absorbing the smokey, BBQ flavors.
Texas – Beef is slow-cooked in smoker grills and topped a with smoky, dry rub.
Everyone has their own homemade BBQ recipe. However, many recipes include the same ingredients. Ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire, brown sugar, soy and molasses are common ingredients in BBQ sauce. A combination onion, smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed red pepper and turmeric are often found in the best dry rub recipes. Perfecting your own sauce or rub by experimentingWhen it comes to completing a delicious BBQ, the sides you serve are just as important. Potatoes and baked beans with bacon are considered staples of barbecue flavors. Ideally, a good coleslaw will pair well with a shredded bbq pork and make the perfect sandwich. However, a creamy macaroni and cheese dish is a perfect combination with dry or wet BBQ. Corn on the cob is another favorite side, many grilling it directly with husk on then removing it before eating. Obviously, no barbeque meal would be complete if you didn’t add a slice of watermelon for a light, cook dessert after a big meal.
Thank you Krissy, but I think the sizing is different for this stapler. Is there any brand name of the staples that came with the gun? Does the Caliber have their own brand of staples? I couldn’t locate any. I didn’t think to keep the box that held the staples for the gun back when I ordered which was quite a long time ago now. I like the stapler a lot though. Really powerful. I guess I’ll take the gun to the store and see if there are different sizes and maybe one will be small enough. The ones I have that fit most guns are wider.
