Another warm day coming up Wednesday (but not as bad as last week!)

By Andy McCray,

1 days ago

After a super hot and humid week last week, it's about to get hot again Wednesday. That being said, it won't be as bad as last week.

Highs will reach the upper 80s to around 90° (last week it was 95° and 96° for 4 straight days.)

The heat index should hit the lower to middle 90s instead of 105-110°.

Showers and storms are likely Tuesday night and Wednesday.

PAWS New England reports that Sazerac, an 11-week-old male puppy currently in New England, is still waiting for a home after the rest of their litter, and even their mama, were adopted. According to PAWS New England, Sazerac has vision loss in one eye and diminished vision in the other, a condition the rescue says has likely contributed to being overlooked despite otherwise typical puppy behavior.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

I Thought Tuna Salad Was Boring Until I Added One New Twist, and I Changed My Mind

Cucumber tuna salad is a crisp, creamy dish you can put together in about 10 minutes flat. Canned tuna, diced cucumber, a little Dijon, and a good dressing turn into something that actually feels worth sitting down for, not just something you eat standing over the sink.

The Cabbage Soup People Keep Coming Back to When They Want Something Light but Actually Satisfying

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for. As it simmers, the cabbage softens without turning mushy, the vegetables release their sweetness, and the broth picks up enough flavor to make every spoonful feel substantial. It is warm, colorful, and packed with texture, making it a practical choice when you want a lighter meal that still tastes like real food instead of a compromise.

7 Classic County Fair Casseroles, With the Full Recipes

County fair cooking competitions have been a fixture of American life since at least the mid-1800s, and the casserole division has long been one of the busiest. Home cooks would spend weeks testing batches, write the recipe down in pencil on an index card, and carry a covered dish to the fairgrounds in late summer knowing the judges were taking notes on appearance, taste, and whether the thing held together when you cut into it.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

Dolly Parton’s 5-Ingredient Casserole Is the Kind of Southern Supper That Knows How to Feed a Hungry

A short ingredient list can still deliver the kind of bubbling, cheesy comfort that makes everyone wander into the kitchen before dinner is called. This casserole keeps things wonderfully simple, layering familiar pantry staples into a hot, hearty bake with tender textures, savory flavor, and plenty of old-fashioned appeal. The top gets golden around the edges, the middle stays creamy and satisfying, and every scoop feels like the sort of covered-dish supper that belonged at family gatherings long before complicated recipes took over. It is practical, cozy, and exactly the kind of meal that proves five ingredients can still make dinner feel generous.

Never Charge Your Phone in These 5 Places, Experts Warn

Charging a phone may feel completely routine, but the place where you plug it in can affect the device's temperature, battery health and even your personal data. Modern phones include safeguards designed to manage heat and stop charging under dangerous conditions.

Grandma’s 5-Ingredient Potato Soup Was So Cozy, Fancy Recipes Never Stood a Chance

There is something almost unfair about how much comfort can come from just five simple ingredients. This old-fashioned potato soup is creamy, steamy, and full of soft, buttery potato pieces that practically melt into the broth. It has the kind of humble flavor that feels instantly familiar, like something simmering on Grandma’s stove while biscuits warmed nearby. No complicated seasonings, no mile-long shopping list, no unnecessary fuss—just a bowl that tastes rich, cozy, and deeply satisfying. The beauty is in its simplicity, and that is exactly why recipes like this never really disappear.

Things to Know About Cosmic Crisp Apples Before You Put Them in Your Cart This Fall 2026

Before you pick out some Cosmic Crisp apples, here is what you should know about the variety. Over the last decade, I have not seen another apple that has grown as much in popularity and availability as Cosmic Crisp. When I first had one in 2019, it was not easy to find. Now I have found them at many stores and they are available throughout the entire year. Because of that I wanted to share with you some things you may or may know yet about the Cosmic Crisp variety.

I Poured a Full Can of Soda Into My Cake Batter, and I'm Never Using Water Again

This Dr Pepper cake starts with a box of chocolate fudge cake mix, a box of instant chocolate pudding, and a full cup of Dr Pepper stirred right into the batter. The soda keeps the cake moist and adds just a hint of flavor in the background, not an overpowering soda taste. Once it bakes, a warm chocolate frosting gets poured right over the top so it soaks in a little as it sets.

Nun’s Puffs Bake Into Airy, Golden Pastries With Crisp Edges and Soft, Custardy Centers

These delicate choux-style pastries puff dramatically in the oven, creating light, hollow centers beneath crisp, golden tops. Butter and eggs give them richness without making them heavy, while the tender interior has an almost custardy softness that makes each bite feel far more elegant than the simple ingredient list suggests. A dusting of powdered sugar is enough to finish them, though warm honey or a little cinnamon can make them even more inviting.

Poor Man’s Husband Casserole Delivers Rich Comfort on a Budget

Ground beef, egg noodles, sour cream, mushroom soup, and melted cheddar create a hearty casserole from inexpensive everyday ingredients. Onion, garlic powder, and simple seasonings deepen the beef layer, while the creamy sauce works into the wide noodles and keeps every serving moist. The top becomes hot, cheesy, and lightly golden as the casserole bakes, giving the dish the familiar appeal of an old-fashioned family dinner. It stretches a pound of beef into a generous meal without making the finished pan feel sparse or overly dependent on filler.
