Morris signing is a statement by Rams
Credit to Derby County for their first signing of the summer - the arrival of Carlton Morris is a statement addition to John Eustace's squad. Morris battered Derby on Good Friday as they were desperate to win and avoid the drop. The way the 29-year-old led his Hatters team throughout the afternoon disrupted the Rams. He bullied the centre-halves, he was in the referee's ear, he had chances to score, and he was a pain in the backside. That is exactly what Derby County need - a solid brute of a number nine who will cause defenders problems. The Rams haven't had one since Colin Kazim-Richards or Chris Martin. Both of them led the fight in black and white, whether it was for promotion or goals was a huge issue last season, and a run of two goals in 10 matches cost the previous head coach his job. This summer Derby's recruitment team, led by Leigh Bromby and chief executive Stephen Pearce are fishing in a different pond. Plenty of names have been linked, and all of them would upgrade the current squad. All of them would excite the Eustace has the nucleus of solidity. Full-back cover, width and a game-changing midfielder would also be welcome additions. With the arrival of Carlton Morris, it will make other players sit up and take notice that Derby County are worth considering.

The Bright and Tangy $3 Trader Joe's Pantry Staple I Can't Stop Putting on Everything
The Bright and Tangy $3 Trader Joe's Pantry Staple I Can't Stop Putting on Everything originally appeared on Parade. Look, no one's pretending you can knock out your whole grocery list at Trader Joe's. That's not what it's for. Trader Joe's is for snacks and unexpected finds. Period. So when I walk through those glorious automatic doors, I'm on the hunt for one of three things: snacks, sauces and must-try limited-releases. My latest Trader Joe's obsession? Carolina Gold Barbeque Sauce—a shining example of judging a book by its cover actually working out. From the label's vintage-inspired fonts to the rich, golden hue of the tangy sauce inside, it was love at first sight the first time I found this wonderful sauce in my crosshairs. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 At just $2.99 for an 18-ounce bottle, this Trader Joe's gem delivers serious bang for your buck. It's inspired by the classic barbecue traditions of South Carolina's Midlands, where 18th-century German immigrants introduced a distinctive yellow mustard-based sauce to the region's pork-heavy barbecue. The result? A tangy, golden blend that feels genuinely rooted in tradition—bold, balanced and unmistakably favorite use? Slathered on hot, crispy chicken wings—which was my first move until I realized I could put this sauce on just about anything. Since then, it's found its way onto burgers, sandwiches and roasted veggies, and pulled double duty as a dip for chicken tenders and French fries. Trader Joe's suggests using it as a glaze for grilled meats toward the end of cooking, and I can confirm: that's a genius move. Talk about sweet, tangy caramelization. Flavor-wise, it's got all the good stuff: bright yellow mustard, sweet and smoky molasses, a sharp dose of vinegar, rich tomato purée, a splash of Worcestershire and a spice blend with just the right kick of cayenne. If you're after a sauce that's bold, balanced and honestly kind of addictive, this one's got your name on it. But don't let me waste any more of your time—do yourself a favor and head to your local Trader Joe's to try one of my favorite sauce releases from one of my all-time favorite Bright and Tangy $3 Trader Joe's Pantry Staple I Can't Stop Putting on Everything first appeared on Parade on Jun 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

Brits set to bask in glorious 30C highs this weekend after days of thunderstorms and rain
SUN-seeking Brits are set to bask in glorious weather over the weekend - with temperatures set to reach more than 30C. The Met Office has predicted a scorcher for some parts of the country, which could reach the heatwave criteria between tomorrow and Monday. 7 7 7 7 Londoners are preparing for temperatures reaching 31C, with the Midlands and Suffolk not far behind in the high 20s. Areas in the north and west of the UK may not reach the same heights, but could still hit the mid to low 20s. It comes after parts of Britain were battered by a spate of thunderstorms and rain last weekend. The news will come to the relief of partygoers at Glastonbury Festival, who have been spotted trudging through mud in ponchos and wellies this morning. Attendees refused to let the poor weather dampen their spirits as thousands descended onto Worthy Farm. The weather on Thursday should improve as the rest of the festival is set to be mostly dry and mild, with temperatures in the low 20s. Met Office forecaster Paul Gundersen said: "Elsewhere through Thursday, rain will move eastwards across the UK, clearing to showers, with some sunny spells breaking through at times. "Friday will start dry in the east, with rain moving in from the west, becoming showery later." The forecaster added that a heatwave is looking likely this weekend. Friday could set the tone for the rest of the weekend, with highs of 27C in the south and east of the country. Sun-seekers will be out in full force on Saturday and Sunday, with the mercury set to reach the low 30s and high 20s. Monday is predicted to be the hottest of the four-day stretch, with sunshine revellers set to flock to beaches and parks to make the most of the glorious weather. Posting on X, the forecaster confirmed: "Some places could reach heatwave criteria over the coming few days." My dream pool was £40,000 so I DIYd my own 18ft version in February all for this summer heatwave - it's saved me £37,000 A heatwave in the UK is met when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days, with temperature values meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature thresholds. Across the north and west of the UK this is 25C, and across Greater London and the Home Counties, 28C. The UK's June temperature record stands at 35.6C, which was set in Southampton in 1976. Current forecasts suggest the record is unlikely to be broken this time - but it will come close. Last week, temperatures peaked slightly higher, reaching the 33C mark. People were spotted flocking to the seaside and rivers so they could take a quick dip to cool off. Others went to sunbathe in parks instead, making the most of their lunch breaks. The mercury was so high that an amber heat health alert was issued for the whole of England. Earlier this week, one school's uniform policy sparked fury among parents when dozens of students were not allowed to attend class despite hot temperatures. More than half the pupils were reportedly missing from Bristol Free School in Southmead during the 30 degrees Celsius heat last week because they were wearing PE kit. Those wearing the school's sport polo shirts and shorts were turned away by leaders at the gates as they arrived in the morning. An email sent from the school to parents the following day clarified students were only allowed to remove the regulation school tie from their uniform for the hot weather. 7 7 7
