It's hours before the Battlehawks game, and the grills are already out and going. Jimmy Drew Hohmeier, from Arnold, got a head start. He and his tailgating crew arrived to set up and start cooking around 7 a.m."We start every morning with four to five pounds of bacon, just to get the griddle warmed up," he says. He uses the bacon grease on the griddle later when he makes what he calls gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. They are gourmet because he uses different cheeses, toppings and add-ins.

I was making my favorite type of spiced nuts for a party, and I realized I needed maple syrup.

They were, incidentally, a hit.

ST. LOUIS — Lucy the corpse flower is getting ready to bloom at the Missouri Botanical Garden, in all her stinky glory. Garden officials expect the plant, technically an Amorphophallus titanum, to bloom sometime between May 30 and June 2. Corpse flowers bloom with the odor of rotting flesh as a way of attracting flies that can pollinate other corpse flowers. The stench also attracts humans to places such as MoBot to experience the putrescent stench for themselves.
