Pumpkin spice cheesecake
Pumpkin spice cheesecake
perfect to serve on holidays
BAY ST. LOUIS — In the Oct.
30 issue of Jackpot!, we wrote about
a dessert we enjoyed at Bogart’s
Steakhouse at Hollywood Casino
Gulf Coast. It was a thick slice of
pumpkin spice cheesecake and it
was delicious. A small photo of
our slice of cheesecake ran with
the story.
Since then, we have had several
readers comment on the dessert
and even a few asked for the recipe.
The bakery chef at Bogart’s granted
our request, and we are glad to
share the recipe with our readers.
This is a great dessert to have with
your Thanksgiving meal, or with
any meal this time of year.
Bogart’s serves their pumpkin
spice cheesecake with a large dollop
of whipped cream and caramel
sauce on the plate, but make this
dish your own with your favorite
accompaniments.

Oak Ridge Boys come to Golden Nugget
Have a ‘Boys Night Out’ with the quartet
CHOCTAW — Have a boys night out that
everyone is invited to when The Oak Ridge
Boys come to Golden Nugget Biloxi. The
quartet performs Friday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m.
One of the most distinctive and recognizable
sounds in the music industry, the four-part
harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge
Boys have spawned dozens of country hits and a
No. 1 pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove,
CMA, and ACM awards as well as garnered a
host of other industry and fan accolades.
Every time they step before an audience, the
Oaks bring more than four decades of charted
singles — and 50 years of tradition — to a
stage widely acknowledged as among the most
exciting anywhere. And now, everyone can
experience that excitement as their first live
album Boys Night Out was released in mid-April.
The Oaks’ high-energy stage show remains
the heart and soul of what they do, and they
refine it several times a year, striving to keep it
fresh well into the future.
“When I go on stage, I get the same feeling
I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge
Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the
only job I’ve ever wanted to have.”
“Like everyone else in
the group,” adds bass singer
extraordinaire,
Richard
Sterban. “I was a fan of the
Oaks before I became a
member. I’m still a fan of the
group today. Being in The Oak
Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of
a lifelong dream.”
The two, along with tenor
Joe Bonsall and baritone
William Lee Golden, comprise
one of country’s truly
legendary acts. Their string of
hits includes the country-pop
chart-topper “Elvira,” as well
as “Bobbie Sue,” “Y’all Come
Back Saloon,” “Thank God
For Kids,” “American Made,”
“You’re The One,” “Fancy
Free,” “Love Song” and many others.
The group has scored 12 gold, three
platinum, and one double platinum album—
plus one double platinum single—and had more
than a dozen national No. 1 singles and over 30
Top Ten hits.

GULFPORT — The Roots & Boots Tour,
starring Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw and
Darryl Worley, comes to Island View Casino
Resort for one show only on Saturday, Nov. 22.
The concert starts at 8 p.m.
Aaron Tippin, with his relatable mid-tempo
anthems, is known for hits including “You’ve
Got to Stand for Something,” “Where the Stars
and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” “There Ain’t
Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio,” “That’s as
Close as I’ll Get to Loving You” and “Kiss
This.”
Sammy Kershaw, with his trademark
drawl, has had many hits including “She
Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Cadillac
Style,” “Anywhere But Here,” “Haunted
Heart,” “Queen of My Double-Wide Trailer,”
“I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “National
Working Woman’s Holiday” and “Third Rate
Romance.”
Kershaw was raised in the Cajun country
of Kaplan, La. The oldest of four children, he
was performing in honky tonks at 12 years old.
Since his debut on the music scene in the early
1990s, Kershaw has remained one of the most
consistent power-hitters in country music with
a chain of major hit records and sell-out touring
schedules.
Darryl Worley has topped the charts with
singles including “I Miss My Friend,” “Awful,
Beautiful Life” and “Have You Forgotten.” He
hit the Top Twenty with the first three singles

HOROSCOPE
Your concerns are coming to the forefront, Scorpio
Editor’s Note: These horoscopes are meant for entertainment purposes
only and are for the time period November 13 - November 26, 2014.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Your
concerns come to the forefront. Others have
noticed your existence again and it will be
far harder to keep your concerns secret and not to
acknowledge the import of anxieties. You’ve found
it tough to open up but it is best to share concerns.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — There
are definitely two sides to your character and
you can give free rein to both of them. From
Nov. 16 on you will have plenty of opportunity for
fun and frolics. But prior to this you’ll be working
against the celestial tide to push yourself forward.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This
period heralds change and transformation
and will continue for some time, promising
the breakdown of existing structures and causing
you to question all you previously assumed to be
true. This does not happen easily, since you must
first access and then examine hidden conditioning,
buried deep down within your psyche. What emerges
is ultimately better.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Although
you have occasionally doubted the wisdom
of the course you’ve chosen, this period will
dispel a number of the doubts you’ve encountered.
It seems others have noticed your efforts after all
and while their approval was never something you
sought, it is encouraging to have feedback.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 19) — When you’re
busy, have a goal in mind and the bit between
your teeth, it is possible to lose sight of other
issues in your eagerness to tackle the task in hand.
But be careful you don’t give anyone the message,
that you are not concerned about their opinion and
will ride roughshod over their needs and sensibilities.
Aries (March 20-April 19) — You are
drawn to consider where you stand with
others. Although you are independent and
individualistic, under ideal circumstances you are not
a loner. You believe the world would be a poorer
place without certain folk around you.
28 JACKPOT! MAGAZINE ‡ November 13 - November 26, 2014
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Recently,
you have been far distant from the cosmic
spotlight. This has its benefits and has not
bothered you excessively, since there are advantages
to being able to pursue your own concerns in privacy.
You are growing and developing on spiritual level.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Assorted
obligations and your working life feature
during this period. This leaves you little scope
for relaxation and causes you to wonder, what this is
all about sometimes. Your growing list of activities is
the primary reason for such frenetic pace.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — During this
period you notice looser liaisons are more
enjoyable than the sense of being tied to
anyone, with commitment as the No. 1 priority.
The institution of marriage and the first flushes of
romance are treated differently in astrological terms.
At certain junctures influences will impact one and
not the other, creating a complicated interplay.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The focus on
your domestic affairs comes as no surprise,
since Saturn has emphasized this area for
almost two years. Looking back, the atmosphere in
your family and how you’re living now, are in contrast
to what you were facing then. Much has changed, as
Saturn pruned away what wasn’t working.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — This time marks
a reflective period for you, no matter how
busy matters seem on the surface or look to
the casual observer. Stay true to yourself, since you
are your sternest critic.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) — Money is at the
forefront of your attention. And largely the
portents are excellent; although you’ve never
found economics the most fascinating subject and
are glad to let your attention lapse, once the initial
emphasis on such practicalities subsides. Examine
certain key issues and to find out what counts.
