Wrexham smashes its transfer record by signing Broadhead in a deal worth up to $13.5M
Wrexham's spending moved into a new stratosphere Thursday when the team owned by Hollywood celebrities signed winger Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich in a club-record deal that could reportedly reach 10 million pounds ($13.50 million). It took the Welsh club's outlay in the transfer market to more than 20 million pounds ($27 million) in this window as Wrexham reshapes its squad for life in the second-tier Championship following an unprecedented three straight promotions. The 27-year-old Wales international is a former Wrexham academy player and a versatile forward who was a fringe player at Ipswich in the Premier League last season. 'He's a local boy who had a real desire to come and play for his hometown club," Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said in the team's announcement. Among Wrexham's other signings over the last couple of months is former England defender Conor Coady and New Zealand international Liberato Cacace. Lewis O'Brien also joined from Nottingham Forest for what was reportedly a club-record fee of around 3 million pounds ($4 million). Wrexham, which started its Championship campaign last weekend with a 2-1 loss at Southampton after conceding two late goals, is owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and has gained outside investment via the New York-based Allyn family. It is also the subject of the Emmy-winning 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary, which takes viewers behind the scenes at the club and has boosted the team's global appeal primarily because of the presence of Reynolds. ___

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Rare Podcast Kiss Feels Straight Out of a Rom-Com
THE RUNDOWN Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared a rare kiss during the last seconds of her New Heights appearance. The couple spoke about how they first connected, with both sharing romantic anecdotes about their initial meeting. At one point, co-host Jason Kelce jokingly asked whether he should leave because he felt like a third wheel. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce revealed quite a bit about their relationship during Swift's two-hour appearance on New Heights yesterday. But one of their most heartwarming moments didn't involve words at all. At the end of the podcast, the pair kissed, marking a rare PDA moment. Co-host and third wheel Jason Kelce quipped, 'Oh my gosh, all right,' watching them. The kiss came after the couple discussed how Travis's previous comments about Swift on New Heights led to their real-life romance. Back in 2023, Travis spoke about his failed attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during her Kansas City Eras Tour show. 'This kind of felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie and he was just like standing outside of my window with a boombox, just being like, 'I want to date you,'' Swift began. 'I was like, if this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager,' she added. Travis recalled being at the concert, saying, 'And I was sitting there at the Eras Tour, listening to every single one of the songs. Like she, I know what she wants me to do. I feel that that's what she wants me to do.' Swift said that with his grad gesture, Travis proved he's 'the good kind of crazy. I knew that he wasn't crazy the first couple of times that we talked. I was just like, he's truly getting to know me in a way that's very natural, very pure, very normal. Also, just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things... Travis is like, he's just a vibe-booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point. He's like when you take a picture on your phone and you push the enhanced color button, that's like what you do to everyone's life. I've used so many more exclamation points now, but I think it was just so non-judgmental about people. And you were not judgmental about the fact that I knew nothing about the [football] world you were in.' Travis later spoke about watching Swift onstage. 'I give the Eras Tour credit because if I would have never gone to that show and been mesmerized and just been captivated and then left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never went on here and told everybody how butthurt I was,' he told his girlfriend. 'I had never just been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.' His brother, Jason, praised Swift for teaching Travis the word 'engulfed.' Travis responded, 'She makes me so much better.' Of meeting her, he told Swift, 'You see you on the stage and you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it's like I've known you forever. It was just the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it just—it knocked my socks off.' 'Thank you. I felt the same exact way as you,' Swift admitted. Travis stressed, 'I had never I had never experienced something so mesmerizing on stage and then so real and so beautiful in person.' 'Hey, that's wonderful,' Swift said. Jason then asked, 'Should I leave?' His brother replied, 'Yeah, I think so. Honestly, at this point, I think everyone should leave.'

Can These Vegetarian Recipes Win Over a Meat-and-Potatoes Guy?
Published Aug. 14, 2025 Updated Aug. 14, 2025 By The New York Times Cooking Tanya Sichynsky is the author and host of The Veggie , our vegetarian cooking newsletter and a new video series. Every few months in my weekly newsletter, The Veggie, I set out to address a smattering of reader questions and fulfill recipe requests that are often hyper-specific in circumstance. (See: 'I am hosting my younger lover upon his return from studying abroad.') Still, a handful of recurring characters have emerged: the holidays, the miscellany within a C.S.A. box, the hard-to-please partner. So we're bringing this question — what do I make for my meat-and-potatoes partner? — to the small/medium/large-but-not-big screen. In a new video series, I'll take readers' vegetarian cooking dilemmas, like this one, and hunt for answers in The New York Times Cooking database and studio kitchen. Consider it a Veggie hotline. One reader described her never-ending quest to get her carnivore husband to 'enjoy meatless meals.' Another, a vegetarian about to move in with her 'anti-vegetable' boyfriend, hoped to find common ground at the dinner table. In these emails, words like 'satisfying,' 'filling' and 'meat-and-potatoes' come up time and again. Café Chelsea's maitake au poivre. Armando Rafael for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Hadas Smirnoff. For this first episode, I went Orna Guralnik mode: These recipes might just save your relationship. In my quest to fill and satisfy, I cooked through the maitake au poivre adapted by Florence Fabricant from Café Chelsea in New York; Superiority Burger's crispy fried tofu sandwich adapted by Alexa Weibel; and Alexa's vegetarian mushroom shawarma pitas. They are each delicious, and some of my favorite recipes in the NYT Cooking database. But you needn't take my word for it. We brought onto set a professed meat-and-potatoes guy to prove me right, or wrong, or both. You'll want to see where he lands after the taste test. I unknowingly spent nearly a decade of my life preparing for this challenge, having planned and cooked many a meal for a meat-and-potatoes partner of my own. Every single dinner suggestion was met with many versions of one question: Where's the meat? (A sampling: 'How about pasta for dinner?' 'Pasta and what ?') A nonscientific survey of this mind-set (my own experience, reader emails) revealed a handful of priorities. While 'filling' is chief among them, texture and protein are also up there. Superiority Burger's crispy fried tofu sandwich. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. That informed my selection of recipes to feature. I'd slot the crispy fried tofu sandwich into all three of those categories. You must believe me when I say that, despite its marinating and dredging and frying process, the crispy fried tofu sandwich is one of the most straightforward fried sandwich recipes I've ever had the pleasure of making and eating. Do not fear the fry! (And if that appeals, you may also like Kay Chun's Nashville-style hot tofu sliders.) The shawarma is plenty satisfying, too, especially if you make extra of the seasoned mushrooms and onions, which I've easily doubled for friends before, as well as for my video guest. The texture of sliced and roasted portobello caps, particularly when folded in a saucy pita, is enough to give you pause. Pretty meaty! Of the three recipes, it is the most prepared for your weeknight rotation, coming in at a cool 25 minutes. Alexa Weibel's vegetarian mushroom shawarma pitas. Jenny Huang for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne Other letter-writers have expressed interest in a vegetarian take on the actual meat-and-potatoes format, for which the maitake au poivre is just one answer. Alongside baked or mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, that's a meal I'd be thrilled to break out the steak knives for. Café Chelsea's approach achieves savory depth by fortifying the au poivre sauce with a mushroom stock, but for a simpler approach with ample umami, take a look at Ali Slagle's portobello 'steak' au poivre. Try any one of the recipes in the video and see how they stack up in your home. But they are only three of many that may mend dinnertime disagreements. There were several recipes on the cutting-room floor of this episode, including Samantha Seneviratne's five-star vegetarian shepherd's pie, full of lentils, mushrooms, peas and more vegetables, and topped with mashed potatoes, of course. Just as filling would be Melissa Clark's vegetarian tamale pie, packed with plenty of hearty beans and topped with a cheesy, tender cornbread crust. They are both proof positive of what legumes do best in meat's absence: add heft and protein (and fiber!) and provide a vehicle for satisfying, meaty flavors. We've got more episodes to come! Keep an eye out for the second one next month. And I'll see you next week with our final Summer Veggie Bingo card.
