had three different versions of Kindle since 2016

Check the delivery dates of the various Kindle col-

When it comes to online shopping, experts ad-

vise ordering items that are as close to home
as possible, not across oceans. Beware of local

order something online, track it, and follow up with

a phone call if necessary.

“Queenpins” (R) -- We can stop complaining that there are no unique ideas
for movies and everything is a remake. This based-on-a-true-story comedy
starring Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste is all about the intriguing
and exciting world of extreme couponing! But not just everyday couponing,
the plot soon delves into a multi-million-dollar counterfeit coupon scam
started by two best friends who cheated corporations and attempted to pad the pockets of fellow budget-conscious housewives. First released
in theaters in early September, streaming is available beginning 9/30. (Paramount+)

“The Problem With Jon Stewart” Ð Six years after vacating his host position on “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart is making a return to television.
Some may question if we really need another nighttime political and social commentary show. The answer is a resounding YES, because it’s
Jon Stewart. In this new series, each hour-long episode will focus on a single topic, with new episodes airing every two weeks. In addition to
well-known current affairs, topics will also include advocacy work on which Stewart has focused his attention over the past years while he was
out of the spotlight. (AppleTV)

“The Not Too Late Show With Elmo” (Season 2) -- If Jon Stewart’s talk show is too cerebral for you, head over to HBO Max’s Cartoonito shorts
section and spend 15 minutes with America’s favorite 3 1/2 year old as he gets ready for bed. Elmo from Sesame Street is back for his second
season with Cookie Monster as his genial, Ed MacMahon-esque sidekick, while other Muppets work as the show crew. Celebrity guests for the
new season include Tamron Hall and Aidy Bryant. (HBO Max)

“LuLaRich” -Ð In the early-2010s, a multi-level marketing company emerged that achieved phenomenal growth in number of independent retail-
ers and profits. But after that impressive rise came the inevitable fall of both product quality and customer satisfaction. But who was to blame?
Was it simply a matter of too much too fast, or was something more sinister at hand? Through interviews with its founders and numerous re-
tailers, the story of clothier LuLaRoe unravels (much like their leggings did). The women who hawked the goods at home parties and through
Facebook Live streams either made fortunes or lost everything, but they were all sold promises that were too big to sustain. Not surprisingly,
founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham give off a strange televangelist power couple vibe from which you can’t look away. (Prime Video)

“Felix and the Hidden Treasure” (PG) (Animated) -- Two years after his father disappeared at sea, 12-year-old Felix decides to venture out alone
to find him. His mother is off enjoying a mom’s vacay on a cruise, so she won’t notice his absence. After his raft capsizes, an old bearded sailor
with a wooden-legged parrot agrees to take him on board his craft and help him search for his pops. They end up on Dark Shadow Island with
its legend of hidden treasure. But it’s not your typical treasure of gold and jewels, it’s something more existential. Or is it?? (Hulu)

DIVAS ON A DIME

Breakfast Boats Make Brunch a Breeze

You know why we love brunch dishes so much? Because they’re so versatile. They work for breakfast, brunch, lunch or break-
fast-for-dinner. Also, most are easy to prepare and very inexpensive, making them perfect for stress-free entertaining or a lazy Sun-
day at home.
This breakfast-boat technique is especially drool worthy. If French toast and quiche had a love child it’d be a breakfast boat. You’re
basically baking a quiche inside a loaf of bread. Along with the salty, savory sausage, the eggs soak into the bread as it bakes, mak-
ing a creamy custard while the bread crust gets all crispity-crunchity. It’s just crazy delicious. It smells amazing as it cooks and looks
gorgeously rustic on a platter.
As with many ideas I share through Divas On a Dime, this is an adaptable technique rather than a single recipe. You can adjust the
ingredients to suit your family’s taste, dietary requirements and, most importantly, your budget.
A couple of things to know before you make this recipe, the sizes and shapes of bread loaves vary greatly. This makes it difficult to
offer exact quantities to fill your loaf or give an absolute baking time.
You can use any kind of unsliced loaf (French bread, whole wheat, Italian bread) as long as the crust is, well ... crusty. Day-old is
preferable because it better absorbs the eggs, is less likely to leak and is super affordable. If you fill your loaf with the egg mixture
and it looks skimpy, add a couple more eggs.

SAUSAGE AND VEGGIE BREAKFAST BOAT

Yield: 4 to 6 servings Prep: 20 minutes Bake: 35 to 45 minutes

Serving breakfast in a bread boat is fun and a major way to upgrade your eggs for the
cost of a loaf of day-old bread.

1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
1 pound breakfast sausage
2 cups mixed vegetables, such as onion and bell peppers
8 eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 cup shredded cheese -- cheddar or your favorite

1. Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. 2. Place the whole bread loaf, upside down, on the sheet.
Place it in the oven for 10 minutes to lightly toast the exterior of the bread, set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook and crumble the sausage until no longer pink.
4. Next, add 2 cups of veggies to the sausage, and saute until soft. (I used 1/2 cup each of diced onion, red pepper, green pepper
and sliced mushrooms.) Allow most of the liquid from the veggies to cook out, so the mixture isn’t wet. Remove from heat and let
cool slightly.
5. Whisk together eggs and half-and-half until well-combined.
6. Using a serrated bread knife, horizontally slice the top inch from the loaf of bread. Scoop out most of the center of the bread.
Keep at least an inch away from the sides to avoid damaging the outer crust. (Make breadcrumbs with the bread you remove.)
7. Spoon the sausage and veggie mixture into the bread, distributing evenly, and top with the cheese. Slowly, pour the egg mixture
over the sausage and let it percolate through toward the bottom.
8. Bake immediately for 25 to 45 minutes. It’s done when the internal temperature reaches 160 F.
TIP: For variety, swap out different meats, vegetables and cheeses to vary the flavor. If you have about 4 cups of total “goodies,”
proceed with the recipe as directed.

Here are some more ideas:
Quiche Lorraine -Ð bacon, onion and Swiss cheese.
Tex-Mex -- taco-seasoned hamburger, green chili peppers and pepper-jack cheese.
Italian -- Italian sausage, peppers, onion and mozzarella.
