Some light showers coming for this weekend

By Sean Kennedy,

18 hours ago

After some light showers from yesterday, another chance of showers is approaching our weekend.

Temperatures have been comfortable as we see low 80s for today and are expecting more temperatures like that tomorrow just in time for Friday Night High School Football.

Then come the weekend temperatures are still expected to stay in range of the low to mid 80s for the afternoon highs.

We are also looking at a light chance of showers or Saturday and Sunday during the evening that could linger into next week.

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

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.

Someone Poured Root Beer Into Baked Beans—and the Cookout Side Dish Got Seriously Interesting

Sweet, smoky baked beans get an unexpected upgrade from root beer, which brings deep caramel notes and a little old-fashioned soda-shop sweetness to the sauce. As the beans bake, everything turns thick, glossy, and bubbling, with savory seasoning balancing the sweetness and crisp-edged bacon adding smoky richness if you pile it in. The result is familiar enough to belong beside burgers and barbecue, but different enough to make people stop after the first spoonful and wonder what gives the sauce that extra depth. It is sticky, saucy, sweet-savory comfort food with just enough surprise to keep the serving spoon moving.

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.

This is the side dish everyone asks for at the holiday table

It's not really Thanksgiving without a spoonful of this on the plate, creamy, custardy, and packed with corn flavor. This isn't your typical corn pudding. Toasted cubes of cornbread get folded into a rich custard along with corn, so it lands somewhere between corn pudding and bread pudding, and it's better than both.

Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake Turns a Few Easy Layers Into a Gooey, Creamy Dessert With Big Berry

Sweet strawberries, rich cream cheese, and buttery cake mix bake together into a dessert that is part cobbler, part cheesecake, and completely built for spooning straight from the pan. The berries turn thick and jammy, the cream cheese adds tangy pockets of richness, and the topping bakes into golden, slightly crisp crumbles that contrast with the soft filling underneath. Every scoop delivers warm fruit, creamy cheesecake flavor, and buttery cake in one bite.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.
