Pepperoni Pizza Pasta salad is a quick and easy pasta salad that has all your favorite pizza flavors but in a pasta salad. Only 6 ingredients and done in 30 minutes! AN EASY‚ FUN PASTA SALAD RECIPE This summer I’ve been craving cold pasta salads but I haven’t wanted the same ole salads. Something to change up the usual cold pasta salad routine. This Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Salad was incredibly tasty‚ easy to make and there are a lot of possibilities with this one! It combines flavors from savory pizza with the tanginess of pasta salad with Italian dressing and crafts a delicious pasta salad dish. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can I add other vegetables to this? Absolutely! Just use whatever you think would work with the pizza flavors. Bell peppers (green red or yellow)‚ sliced olives and red onions would work nicely in this! What’s the best Italian dressing to use? Just use your favorite bottled dressing. You want one with a good punch of flavor. You could even make your own homemade Italian dressing! For a slightly more creamy dressing‚ try using Olive Garden’s Italian dressing. Can I use a different pasta? Absolutely! You can use any pasta shape that you want. Just make sure it is 16 ounces (1 pound). Penne‚ rotini‚ bow tie‚ shell or even spaghetti work well with this. Can I just use preshredded cheese? One thing I have found is freshly shredded parmesan seems to work best here since it blends better than the store bought shredded bags of cheese‚ but of course‚ you can use whatever is easiest.  Where do you find pepperoni sticks in the store? You can usually find these sticks of pepperoni near the bags of sliced pepperoni. If not‚ you can get a 1/2 pound block of pepperoni from the deli counter at your grocery store. Do I have to wait that long for it to chill? I know it seems like forever to wait for it to chill and mix the flavors‚ but it’s totally worth it. Don’t skip that step. The flavors really set up as it hangs out for a couple of hours in the fridge. It makes all the difference!  What herbs and spices could I add? If you want to “up” the Italian flavor‚ you can always add additional Italian spices to this: 1/2 teaspoon each of dried Oregano‚ Basil‚ Red Pepper flakes‚ Garlic Powder and Salt and Pepper (to taste). How do I store leftovers? Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Salad needs to be covered and kept stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. I do not recommend freezing. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) rotini pasta – other types can be used‚ check out the FAQ section for more ideas. pepperoni – I used a pepperoni stick and then sliced it up‚ but you could use pepperoni slices. mozzarella cheese – mozzarella cheese balls are also an option if you don’t want to dice up a block of mozzarella cheese. Italian dressing – use whatever you enjoy here. The Olive Garden Salad Dressing works well here too. tomatoes – cherry or grape tomatoes are optimal‚ but you could also chop up a beefsteak tomato. freshly shredded parmesan cheese – if you don’t like parmesan cheese‚ you could try Romano cheese or just leave it out. HOW TO MAKE PEPPERONI PIZZA PASTA SALAD In a large stock pot of boiling water‚ cook your pasta until al dente (following the directions on the back or side of the box.) When finished cooking‚ drain and rinse pasta with cool water. Let it drain well‚ then add to a large lidded bowl. Chop up all of the mozzarella and pepperoni into 1-inch cubes. And slice the grape tomatoes in half (I usually cut them lengthwise). Add those to the cooled pasta. Pour the Italian dressing on top. You don’t have to use the whole bottle. This all comes down to taste. Give it all a good stir. Next‚ add the shredded parmesan cheese and give it another good stir. Cover with plastic wrap or a fitted lid. Then pop it into the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours. And serve! CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

VISTA DEL MAL‚ CA—In a surprising move‚ Disney has announced that music mogul P. Diddy—who now goes by the pseudonym P. Diddler—will be taking over as their new CEO‚ citing his appeal with children as the main reason for the decision. The announcement has left many wondering if Disney is trying to tap into a younger demographic or if they’ve simply run out of ideas. In a statement to the press‚ Disney said‚ “We are thrilled to announce that P. Diddy will be joining us as our new CEO. His ability to connect with children and his proven track record in the entertainment industry make him the perfect candidate for the job.” P. Diddy‚ who has built his career on creating music and fashion that appeals to a younger audience‚ will be tasked with overseeing the development of new content for Disney’s various platforms‚ including television‚ movies‚ and theme parks.

Diddy is a response to the growing popularity of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime‚ which have been aggressively courting younger viewers. By appointing P. Diddy as their CEO‚ Disney may be hoping to attract a new generation of fans and stay competitive in the ever-changing entertainment landscape.  However‚ not everyone is convinced that P. Diddy is the right choice for the job. Some have questioned whether his experience in the music and fashion industries will translate to success in the world of children’s entertainment. Others have expressed concern that his appointment may signal a shift in Disney’s priorities‚ away from family-friendly content and towards more edgy and provocative material.  Only time will tell if P. Diddy is able to live up to Disney’s expectations and help the company maintain its position as the leading entertainment company in the world. In the meantime‚ the industry will be watching closely to see how this unexpected partnership plays out.  As for P. Diddy‚ he seems to be taking the news in stride. In a recent interview‚ he said‚ “I’m excited to join the Disney family and help create content that kids will love. I’ve always been a big fan of Disney‚ and I can’t wait to get started.”  So‚ will P. Diddy be able to bring his unique brand of cool to Disney? Only time will tell.

*FAQs at the bottom of article* UPDATED 3/28/2024 Set in a Nazi Germany prisoner-of-war camp during World War II‚ how could Hogan’s Heroes not be one of the most interesting sitcoms of all time? It was a take-off on Billy Wilder’s Stalag 17 (1953)‚ but with more humor and less drama. And with a strong six seasons from 1965 to ‘71‚ Hogan’s Heroes won two Emmy awards out of an impressive 11 nominations. It was an unlikely comedic triumph‚ as we watched Hogan and his fellow so-called prisoners do their best in terms of the war effort from inside‚ always assisted by the incompetence of the German camp leaders. It was full of great gags‚ countless tunnels dug‚ and really fine acting from the lot. Let’s head back to Stalag 13 and see what the cast of Hogan’s Heroes got into after the war ended. Bob Crane (Colonel Hogan) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Colonel Hogan is the Senior POW officer of Stalag 13. Best known for quick wit and being daring‚ especially during the war.  RELATED: 122 Classic (and Not-So-Classic) TV Sitcoms from the 1970s Crane got his start as a radio DJ‚ eventually got his own morning radio show in LA. He filled the broadcast with sly wit‚ drumming‚ and guests like Marilyn Monroe and Bob Hope. His show quickly topped the morning ratings‚ allowing him to become “king of the Los Angeles airwaves.” HOGAN’S HEROES‚ (from left): Bob Crane‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection His acting ambitions led to guest-hosting for Johnny Carson on the game show Who Do You Trust? However‚ most people remember his Dr. Dave Kelsey on 63 episodes of The Donna Reed Show.  Crane then was offered the lead as Hogan‚ and he helped make it a hit‚ finishing in the top 10 in its first year. His portrayal in the series earned two Emmy nominations. In 1975 he headlined The Bob Crane Show‚ but it wasn’t well-received and only lasted one season.  THE DONNA REED SHOW‚ Bob Crane‚ Ann McCrea‚ 1958-1966. Everett Collection Bob’s final acting credit was in 1978 with an episode of The Love Boat. Tragically‚ that same year‚ he was found bludgeoned to death in his Arizona home with an electrical cord tied around his neck. Before this‚ Bob struck up a friendship with a man named John Henry Carpenter‚ and the two would frequently pick up women and then videotape their sexual encounters. In the weeks before his death‚ Crane had repeatedly expressed a desire to sever his friendship with Carpenter. Bob’s son stated that his dad had called John the night before the murder to end their friendship. THE BOB CRANE SHOW‚ Bob Crane‚ 1975. Everett Collection The murder weapon was never found and the case remains unsolved to this day. Carpenter was acquitted and continued to maintain his innocence until he died in 1998. After the trial‚ Crane’s son again speculated publicly that his father’s widow might have had a role. “Nobody got a dime out of the murder‚ except for one person‚” he said. Bob Crane was 49 years old.  Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Colonel Klink was cowardly and conceited‚ often subject to the playful torment of Hogan and company. Klink’s vanity made him an easy target‚ and although he didn’t properly fit a menacing Nazi general‚ for this lighthearted comedy‚ he was terrific and was the recipient of two Emmys for Supporting Actor.  RELATED: This Is Why Richard Dawson Kissed Female Contestants On ‘Family Feud’ The son of famed orchestral conductor Otto Klemperer‚ Werner did not follow the same beats as his father and began acting in 1952 after serving in the US Army. He worked on scores of variety TV shows like four episodes of The Philco Television Playhouse. In 1956 he began landing film roles‚ such as a psychiatrist in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man.  HOGAN’S HEROES‚ (from left): Bob Crane‚ Werner Klemperer‚ ‘Operation Tiger’‚ (Season 6‚ aired Nov. 29‚ 1970)‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection His Klink was certainly his greatest role‚ and he‚ along with the other chief German officers‚ were all Jewish‚ and he only accepted this pivotal role after the show’s creator assured him that Klink would never succeed in his plans.  After his father died in 1973‚ Klemperer honored him by taking on musical roles and earned a Tony nomination for his performance in Cabaret in its 1987 Broadway revival. His final role was once again voicing Klink‚ as many icons have‚ for an episode of The Simpsons in 1993. HOGAN’S HEROES‚ Werner Klemperer‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection Sadly Werner died of cancer in 2000 at the age of 80. He was cremated and his ashes scattered at sea.  Richard Dawson (Corporal Peter Newkirk) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Corporal Peter Newkirk was intelligent and loyal and would speak out if something didn’t sit right. Newkirk was a clothing and decoy expert.  Richard Dawson began his career in England as a stand-up comedian known as Dickie Dawson. Dawson began acting in 1962‚ one of his first roles being a Season 2 guest-spot on The Dick Van Dyke Show‚ playing “Racy” Tracy. HOGAN’S HEROES‚ Richard Dawson‚ 1965-1971. Everett Collection Dawson was considered for the lead role of Hogan but didn’t have the confidence in an American accent. After Hogan’s Heroes‚ he jumped right into another wacky TV role‚ as a regular on Rowan &; Martin’s Laugh-In.  Due to his popularity on Match Game‚ Dawson was given his own hosting opportunity for its spin-off‚ Family Feud‚ where he was well known for smooching the female contestants. “The Kissing Bandit” smooched so successfully that he had Feud surpassing Match Game in popularity‚ and regularly took home Best Hosting awards.  FAMILY FEUD‚ host Richard Dawson‚ (ca. 1970s)‚ 1976-85. © ABC / Courtesy: Everett Collection The last time we saw him acting was manning the microphone in 1987’s Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick‚ The Running Man — directed by Starsky himself‚ Paul Michael Glaser.  Dawson used to smoke nearly four packs of cigarettes a day until his daughter convinced him to quit in 1994. Sadly the damage was done and Richard passed away in 2012 from complications of cancer.  John Banner (Sergeant Schultz) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Sergeant Schultz is important‚ serving Klink as his official food taster at parties to ensure the food hasn’t been poisoned. However‚ he inevitably knows‚ “nothing‚” sees nothing‚ and hears nothing. His sense of comedic timing was an inspiration to Bob Crane himself. John Banner began acting in 1940 and his accent led to many typecast roles as a Nazi. His first semi-regular role was in 1954 in the show Rocky Jones‚ Space Ranger.  HOGAN’S HEROES‚ (from left): John Banner‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection When people criticized Banner’s Schultz as a ‘cuddly nazi’ he refuted. “I see Schultz as the representative of some kind of goodness in every generation‚” he said. Banner lost much of his family to the Nazi’s efforts in the ’40s‚ so it’s easy to stand on John’s side here. One of his final roles was in 1971‚ costarring with Dean Jones in The Chicago Teddy Bears.  He soon retired and moved to France with his second wife. THE CHICAGO TEDDY BEARS‚ from left: John Banner‚ Dean Jones‚ Art Metrano‚ 1971. Everett Collection Sadly‚ less than one year after the European reunion‚ he died on his 63rd birthday after an abdominal hemorrhage. However‚ the world will forever remember Schultz and his “keen” observation skills.  Larry Hovis (Sergeant Andrew Carter) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Sergeant Andrew Carter is kindhearted‚ enthusiastic‚ although fairly naive. He received little respect from Corporals LeBeau and Newkirk‚ who would only call him by ‘Andrew’ and not ‘Sergeant.’  In 1964‚ Hovis was discovered by Andy Griffith’s manager and was hired to play Private Larry on Gomer Pyle. He was a regular for 36 episodes of Laugh-In‚ but after two episodes of Alice in the late ’70s‚ he turned to production. HOGAN’S HEROES‚ Ivan Dixon‚ Robert Clary‚ Larry Hovis‚ Richard Dawson‚ Bob Crane‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection Hovis taught at Southwest Texas State and unfortunately passed away in 2003 of cancer at the age of 67. Robert Clary (Corporal Louis LeBeau) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Corporal Louis LeBeau is very loyal‚ patriotic‚ and intelligent. He sometimes can get emotional‚ especially when he believes that his cooking or his homeland has been insulted. Robert Clary’s short-lived acting career began in 1949‚ but Hogan’s was certainly his best role. Following its success‚ he guest-starred on 164 episodes of the popular soap opera Days of Our Lives. Then in the ‘90s‚ he had a 30-plus episode arc on The Bold and the Beautiful‚ his final acting role. HOGAN’S HEROES‚ Robert Clary‚ Cynthia Lynn‚ Season 1‚ episode ‘Happy Birthday Adolf’‚ January 7‚ 1965. Everett Collection Clary also had some real-life encounters with the Germans he had to battle‚ being a survivor of The Holocaust. Clary was liberated from Buchenwald in 1945‚ Twelve other members of his immediate family were sent to Auschwitz; his tattooed identification number was “A5714‚” located on his left forearm.  In 2001 he released his memoir detailing his time from the concentration camps to becoming a Hollywood star‚ which was aptly titled From the Holocaust to Hogan’s Heroes. He passed away in November 2022 at the age of 96.  Ivan Dixon (Staff Sergeant Kinch) Everett Collection/YouTube Screenshot Staff Sergeant Kinch is known as the group’s unofficial second in command‚ though the communication specialist would depart after season 5 due to the actor who portrayed him feeling stifled and overshadowed. Ivan Dixon was an established stage actor‚ meeting Sidney Poitier on Broadway and becoming lifelong friends with the legend. They’d recreate their stage roles for many films‚ including 1961’s A Raisin in the Sun. After leaving Hogan’s Heroes‚ Dixon concentrated heavier on directing‚ calling the shots for stellar shows‚ like seven episodes of The Waltons and 13 episodes of Magnum P.I. HOGAN’S HEROES‚ Robert Clary‚ Ivan Dixon‚ 1965-71. Everett Collection Dixon was an avid civil rights activist and served as a president of Negro Actors for Action. He sadly died in 2008 at the age of 76 from complications of kidney failure.  What a unique and funny show. So let’s discuss: who was your favorite character on Hogan’s Heroes? Did you watch the show for all 6 seasons? Who’s career did you follow after?

Written by Bernie Carr Living in a big city provides numerous conveniences‚ but it also comes with its own set of challenges‚ especially when it comes to emergencies. From power The post Urban Emergency Preparedness: What You Need for City Survival first appeared on Apartment Prepper.

When a house fire strikes you need to be prepared. Most people don’t think it will happen to them‚ but there are over a million reported fires every year in the US with several thousands of deaths. Preparedness can go a long way to help you survive a fire and better protect your property. The best tool to deal with a fire is a fire extinguisher. There are plenty of brands and types to choose from. This is where we come in. We’ve researched the best fire extinguishers‚ tested them‚ and the results are in: the overall best‚ a vehicle option‚ and an upgrade option. If you need a fire extinguisher that won’t let you down in an emergency‚ one of our suggestions will help you beat the heat. Contents (Jump to a Section) The Best Fire Extinguisher Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Upgrade Fire Extinguisher Everything We Recommend The Fire Extinguishers We Compared What to Look For How to Use a Fire Extinguisher Who Needs a Fire Extinguisher? The Best Fire Extinguisher First Alert Home1 Simple‚ Effective‚ and Trustworthy The best option for tried-and-true residential fire safety has earned over 25‚000 five-star reviews‚ and we can see why. $25* at Amazon *Price at time of publishing; check for price changes or sales. Proven‚ durable‚ rechargeable- all in a recognizably classic design for less than $20. Put one of these on each floor of your home and in your garage. For your kitchen‚ you can also find the Kitchen5 Fire Extinguisher (by First Alert as well) which is perfect for small kitchen fires. First Alert is not the best-of-the-best of the fire extinguisher brands. Just ask any firefighter and they’ll probably recommend Buckeye‚ Amerex‚ or Badger… but First Alert is widely available and is a great value. You don’t need to spend $50 on each residential extinguisher unless you are looking to upgrade. This is one major reason why we suggest the First Alert Home1 Fire Extinguisher– it is simply the best value you will find. Vehicle Fire Extinguisher First Alert Auto5 Lightweight‚ Portable‚ and Dependable A little vehicle preparedness can go a long way with this portable extinguisher. $22* at Amazon *Price at time of publishing; check for price changes or sales. The First Alert Auto5 will fit in any vehicle and is smart to include in any car kit. The integrated bracket that it comes with makes it easy to install. This model has been around for a while‚ so you may be familiar with it already- I first had one in my Jeep over ten years ago. They keep a charge for a long time‚ are easy to check for a charge‚ and hold just enough to douse an engine compartment. Upgrade Fire Extinguisher Cold Fire Ultimate Versatile‚ Compact‚ and Effective A big safety upgrade trusted by operators to handle a wide range of situations and environments. $25* at Amazon *Price at time of publishing; check for price changes or sales. If you are serious about fire safety‚ you may want to go for a seriously good fire extinguisher. SWAT teams carry this to put out meth-lab fires and collectors rely on Cold Fire to protect vintage cars‚ so you can already see some versatility there. The compound is tough enough to put out tire fires but it is non-toxic so you can even put out people that have caught on fire. The only detraction is that Cold Fire is a compressed liquid‚ so you can’t spray live electrical circuits with it‚ but it does easily handle any sort of material‚ liquid‚ gas‚ or grease fire. The Cold Fire Ultimate Fire Protection is meant to be small‚ portable‚ and easily used with one hand- so you may need to consider additional extinguishers if you could possibly need more than ten seconds of continuous spray. The Guns and Gear Networks has a pretty good video showing how easy it is to use: Everything We Recommend First Alert Home1 Fire Extinguisher The best option for tried-and-true residential fire safety has earned over 25‚000 five-star reviews‚ and we can see why.

Where to Buy $22* at Amazon *at time of reviewing Cold Fire Ultimate Fire Protection A big safety upgrade trusted by operators to handle a wide range of situations and environments. Where to Buy $25* at Amazon *at time of reviewing The Fire Extinguishers We Compared Our research narrowed the field down to the several fire extinguisher brands and types that we tested: First Alert‚ Sentry‚ Cold Fire‚ Buckeye‚ Amerex‚ Kiddie‚ Badger‚ Ansul‚ and more. There are a lot of brands that make fire extinguishers these days without significant differences other than capacity‚ chemical type‚ and quality. Many of the more expensive commercial models are not necessarily better for home use‚ even though they have a larger capacity. They are not designed to handle kitchen fires and other residential hazards unless you spend even more‚ which usually prices them out of contention. We also steered clear of built-in fire-suppressant systems and fire blankets‚ even though both of these can be very effective. Our goal was to compare handheld extinguishing devices for this review roundup. What to Look For Value Durability Suppressant Type Capacity Versatility The best fire extinguishers have several important features to look for. When you get the right blend of these‚ you can find a solid fire extinguisher that will give you the best fighting chance when you encounter a fire. Below‚ we break down what each of these features means for a truly dependable fire extinguisher: Value: Cost vs. Benefit The amount of money you spend on fire extinguishers shouldn’t blow out your budget unless you have special circumstances where a fire is much more likely. The difference between different extinguishers is not that big‚ as long as you have one with proven consistent quality. On the flip side‚ you don’t want to go too cheap. Aerosol fire extinguishers can cost less but put out less suppressant than traditional extinguishers. They also usually don’t include a charge indicator‚ which may leave you with a useless can in an emergency. You never want to spend too much money on one resource‚ especially something like fire extinguishers. It’s better to diversify your safety and preparedness gear to make sure you are covered for a wide range of scenarios. There is a sweet spot where you get high value out of the best features with not too high of a price‚ which is where our top pick sits. Durability Most of the time‚ a fire extinguisher is going to just sit there. It’s not handled very often‚ except when you really need it. When you need it‚ you really need it to work and your life or significant property‚ like your home‚ may depend on it. This is why durability matters for fire extinguishers- you want the container to be as durable as possible to prevent leaks. This is especially important for extinguishers you keep in your car kits or other kits where they may be exposed to more abuse than the ones you keep ready at home. Besides the container‚ the nozzle and gauges also need to be consistently durable to be dependable in an emergency. The material type‚ construction‚ and quality of the manufacturer usually impact this the most. Suppressant Type There are several types of materials you can find in fire extinguishers. They each have advantages/disadvantages and are described by class. Extinguisher Type Solids (A) Flammable Liquid (B) Flammable Gases (C) Electrical Equipment Cooking Oils &; Fats (F) Water Yes No No No No Foam Yes Yes No No Yes Dry Powder Yes Yes Yes Yes No Carbon Dioxide No Yes No Yes Yes Capacity Fire extinguishers come in a wide range of capacities with various amounts of compressed material within them. Versatility Smaller‚ portable fire extinguishers offer more versatility due to their compact size. Different extinguishing agents also offer versatility‚ since they can put out different types of fires. How to Use a Fire Extinguisher Using a fire extinguisher in an emergency is as easy as remembering the PASS acronym: Pull – pull the safety pin out of the handle Aim – aim the hose or container at the base of the fire Squeeze – squeeze the handle slowly to control the spray Sweep – sweep the spray side to side at the base of the fire Howcast demonstrates this method pretty well: Who Needs a Fire Extinguisher? Everyone needs a fire extinguisher in their home. A fire is one of the most frequent threats that occur and is at the top of our Threat List (a comprehensive risk analysis we’ve already run for you). A fire extinguisher isn’t the most versatile piece of equipment‚ but you will miss it if you do not own one and encounter a fire. It should be on everyone’s move-in checklist and shows up on quite a few of our checklists below. Fire extinguishers are an essential safety device for this kit: Home Survival Kit Fire extinguishers are suggested for these kits: Car Survival Kit Smaller fire extinguishers can be considered for these kits: Bug Out Bag Get Home Bag With how often house fires occur‚ having at least one in your home is extremely important for your preparedness.
