Hi everyone!!!!!! What a great day to me in our league. We are growing everyday. We started teams again, they are hosted by RazzlDazzl on Monday at 2 PM EST and jan0527 on Wednesday 9 PM EST. Even if you do not have a partner jump on auto and we will find you one. So far they have been a blast. Then we have the Power Progressives where rounds increase by 2 pts each round, so far our highest one has reached 11 points those are hosted by lois_lane328 on Saturday and Sunday by lil_gizmoe both are at 4 PM EST. We are still looking for other formats. We had Battle of the Sexes this month and the female winner was lil_gizmoe and the male winner was rayb12. And the winner of BOS was lil_gizmoe. See girls really rule, haha just kidding. Was a great turnout and hopefully Jan and Ray will do it again soon.
Marathon will be Saturday July 12TH We are hoping this month to have as many as we did in June. Great Job all TDS we had 31 tourneys from midnight to midnight. We gave away a lot of ladder buxs. Maybe this month we can also have more small tourneys on the half hours!!!!

BATTLE OF LEAGUES For July will be the 26th at 3 PM EST in the BOL lobby please be ready and in lobby by 2:45 PM EST. In June we showed up and had lots of fun. Thank you SCARLETT243, lil_gizmoe and _RazzlDazzl_, oliverpig and newyorkbronx_1 for playing and representing our league in a positive drama free fashion.
TOC is always the qualifying tourney for BOL and is done the week before. Will be Saturday July 19th there will be two TOC tournerys this so we can offer our members from around the world a chance to play for the Rank and status. If for any reason they all cannot play admin will find a replacement. TOC times are as follows: Daytime TOC will be at 11 AM EST hosted by lil_gizmoe on July 19 th. Nighttime TOC will be at 9 PM hosted by jan0527 also on July 19th. You are only allowed to play in one TOC, so if you played in the daytime TOC then you will not be allowed to play again in the nighttime TOC. We will then take the winner from each and use each members skill rating to determine who is ranked 1 and 2, and then we will do the same for the runners up to determine who is ranked 3 and 4. We will also use the semifinals to determine ranks 5 through 8, by using the skill ratings. Please read the rules on the TOC pages because they will be more detailed there. Our league is growing with more competitive players so this is a way for all of use to climb the ladder to the top!!!! Congrats to LushysMagic for winning the TOC in June, and so far she is still ranked number 1, so everyone give her a high five in the lobby, she has earned it to have kept it this long.
ALSO A BIG WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS
We are growing welcome to our new members!!!!!!! If we missed someone we are truly sorry, and we are glad you are all here!!!!!!!!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, and chopped spinach; beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined. Season with white pepper. Use a pipping bag to fill the manicotti shells.( you can also use a plastic bag w/ a corner cut) Pour 1/4 the pasta sauce into the prepared baking dish. Arrange shells over sauce. Top with the remaining sauce, use a spoon to spread the sauce over the shells Sprinkle Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 mins longer. Garnish with parsley. Let stand 10 mins before serving. I made this last week and it is awesome. You should all try this one, Dave this month you hit it out of the park for sure!!!!! and what better way to finish it off than with a great dessert and cocktail!!!!

Put in a cup with hot coffee Garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon stick and chocolate sprinkles. If you drink 3 on a bar stool, and stand up, you WILL fall off.
Bailey’s Brownies
1 stick unsalted butter, softened 2-3 squares baking chocolate 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 1/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur 1/8 cup Tequila ( I use Don Julio) 1/8 cup Kahlua 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 Line a 9x9" baking an with parchment paper. Melt baking squares in a microwave-safe bowl. In the mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs, beating one at a time. Stir in Bailey’s and other liquor. Add flour and salt stir just until combined. You may still see a few lumps. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter. Let the pan cool on a wire rack. Remove from pan, and enjoy. Optional: top with your favorite frosting.
