Hollywood Happenings

Will Harrison Ford ever slow down? The 80-year-old superstar has completed “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” due June 30. Then he steps in for the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross in “Captain America: New World Order,” due May 3, 2024. July 2024 brings “Thunderbolts,” where Ford will reprise the role of Thaddeus Ross.

His Paramount+ Western series “1923’ will run for two seasons, eight episodes each. You’d think Ford would take time to spend his $300 million enjoying time with his wife, Calista Flockhart, and his children!

But his 77-year-old co-star, Oscar winner Helen Mirren, is no slouch either. Both “Golda” (as in Golda Meir) and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” with Zachary Levi, hit screens this March, followed by “Fast X” and “White Bird: A Wonder Story” this May.

Sweet Tooth

1 box cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box 3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks butter), softened

3 c. powdered sugar

3 tbsp. heavy cream

Chocolate-Covered Cake Balls

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Pinch kosher salt

2 c. white chocolate chips

2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

4 tbsp. coconut oil, divided Sprinkles, for decorating

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9”-x-13” baking pan with cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to box instructions and spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool then break cake into small crumbs.

In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until smooth, then add sugar and beat until combined. Add cream, vanilla, and salt and mix until smooth. (Add more cream if frosting is too thick.)

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir cake crumbs into frosting, then form mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on a prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.

In a deep-sided heatproof bowl, microwave white chocolate and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in 30 second intervals until melted. Repeat process with semisweet chocolate.

Dip chilled cake balls into melted chocolate, shaking off excess chocolate. Immediately decorate with sprinkles and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until hardened, 15 minutes.

A Message from Sue Royer

“I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”
