Serena Williams is through to her 10th straight SemiFinal! She beat Konta 6-2, 6-3. It was all mental and she read her opponent well. Despite her poor 1st service games tonight she surely turned up her 2nd and returns!

She will meet 34 year old, Croatian Mirjana Lucic-Baroni at 12am later. Serena is chasing 23 Grand Slam Titles to write history but Lucic-Baroni has her own fairytale story, trying to have the biggest comeback in history. They last met at Wimbledon when they were teenagers in 1998 and Serena came out on top.  Lucic-Baroni was to be the next big thing back then upsetting Monica Seles to reach the Semi Finals at Wimbledon in 1999. But she drifted from the scene with personal issues, coming out to the public a few years later that she was abused by her father. She has a number of injuries but was in tears of happiness just to make it to the SemiFinals and will surely give everything she’s got.

Venus will meet the young power hitter, Coco right now! Will Venus make it an over 30-year old final? Suga favours Coco to win but will be happy if Venus pulls off the win.

The Men’s side is also hot. Rafael Nadal beat Milos Raonic in straight sets and is heading to the SemiFinals vs. Dimitrov.

We could possibly witness a Nadal-Federer Final! Federer would have to overcome Stan Wawrinka first though at 3:30am, which may not be an easy task.

Enjoy and stay tuned! Suga’s got you if you are sleeping.

The Falcons destroyed the Packers, beating them 44-21 to head to the Super Bowl.

The Packers failed to score in the first half due to a fumble followed by 2 interceptions. They also failed to convert huge opportunities to intercept when they were unable to recover a loose ball, mistimed a jump in the end zone and dropped the ball in the end zone, which was followed with a touchdown by the Falcons, ending the 1st half 24-0.

Defense was poor for the Packers and has been throughout the Playoffs. The players had butterfingers and even though Rodgers had more rushing yards than his teammates, he couldn’t win it by himself.

The Patriots rolled over the Steelers as expected with a win of 36-17. They are heading to the Super Bowl for a record 9th time.

Will the Vegas Pro prediction of the Falcons winning it all come through? Suga thinks it is possible. They got young, fresh legs.

In other Sports news, Serena Williams moves on to the Quarterfinals of the Australian Open and Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Cavaliers last Saturday night in Cleveland in OT 118- 115!

LeBron James failed to make the game-winning shot that caused the game to go into OT, he missed more crucial clutch shots and created a turnover. Kevin Love missed his shots as well, including the very last possession when the Spurs defense slipped up and he was left wide open for the 3-point shot. Kyrie Irving made the usual clutch shots in OT but it wasn’t enough.

The Cavs didn’t even play the full Spurs team. The Spurs are currently without Pao Gasol, who is out for 4 to 8 weeks and Tony Parker, who has an injured foot. So the game belonged to Kawhi Leonard who scored a Career high 41 points. It was his 1st game over 40 points.

Stay tuned. Sports season is on a high until June!

Does Serena have a better chance of winning her 23rd Grand Slam title now? Too early to say. Muguruza, Venus, Pliskova and more are still in it.

The no. 1 seed on the men’s side, Andy Murray was also sent packing. He lost to Mischa Zverev in 4 sets, 5-7, 7-5, 2-6, 4-6.

Old veterans and faves Nadal and Federer are still in it though and Federer looks like he is in great shape to win 1 more with Murray and Djokovic out of the way.

The Warriors rout the Cavs 126-91 in Rematch last night!

by SportsWhat's Hot

Last night the Warriors got revenge after losing to the Cavs on Christmas Day by 1 point. They rout the Cavs 126-91 in quite a thrilling game. Curry stated in his post game interview that winning the game hasn’t won them the trophy so they will keep it going.

There was quite a little drama too and you can easily guess Warriors’ Draymond Green was involved. He got a flagrant foul for colliding into LeBron James mid-court, whose acting was even more hilarious followed by Draymond mocking him.

KD and Curry then sunk the Cavs further before Halftime. Curry drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer and did the shimmy on the sidelines.

Don’t you just love this Game!

In other news, the Australian Open has begun. Serena beat Bencic in her first match, 6-4, 6-3 and said it was one of the toughest 1st round matches she has ever played. Young Swiss Bencic is quite a worthy opponent but Serena looked good and erased any thoughts of an upset.

Will Serena’s recent engagement cause her to go home early or can she get that 23rd Grand Slam title?

Stay tuned. It’s Sports season!

Cheers to Oak Wine Bar this Friday!

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Suga is still enjoying Oak Wine Bar & Cocktail Lounge!

I visited Oak about 2 weeks ago for GNO over the holidays. It’s a small bar but it was a Wednesday night so it wasn’t packed. Service continues to be quick and efficient, enjoyed the selection of music that was played on the low and most of all, I enjoyed my Charcuterie board with a few glasses of Vino.

Their Charcuterie board is everything! It’s a spectacular, delicious pairing with wine including cured meats, Danish Blue Cheese that I love, Smoked Gouda, Olives, Pepper jelly and more!

Head over to Oak with family, for a date or GNO and share some bottles of wine or cocktails with delicious bites.

by What's Hot

President Obama will speak tonight at the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. He should be giving his farewell speech, which he will have to pull off considering the current divisions in his party and the party’s nominee and many constituents opposing his legacy project.

It is believed he will speak at 9pm and the Convention will end at 11pm.

Also, following POTUS’s speech and after a lengthy lawsuit between BET and Gabrielle Union, Being Mary Jane will finally return tonight at 10pm!

#fbf to Suga’s Christmas Cake from Sweet Obsession!

by What's Hot

No Christmas Fruit Cake comes close to my Mother’s or Aunty Mads’. With that said, I can be very critical about them. So I pondered for days what I was going to do to keep the tradition alive, especially since I was staying in Jamaica all season. I felt like I needed not 1 but 2 cakes!

I stumbled across a friend’s Instagram page, Sweet Obsession where it looked good and the price was right.

● 1 1/2lbs – $1500JMD

● 2lbs – $2400JMD

● 3lbs – $3500JMD

Of course I had to do a tasting first, explaining that I don’t like it too fruity but I like it with lots of rum.

The quality of the tasting was alright. It had my rum content but the texture needed to be a bit softer. So I passed that information along and made my order with the assurance that adjustments would be made.

I was happy that my order came extremely close to my high standard. Friends and Family enjoyed it as well. It was certainly a treat for all of 700+ calories per slice. That’s right folks, Suga recommends you lose 5 to 10 pounds before each Christmas to fully endulge guilt-free!

Looking forward to another season with Sweet Obsession!
