For years, boiling corn on the cob meant watching a pot, timing it just right, and still ending up with kernels that were sometimes tough and sometimes mushy.

Severe storm & flash flood risk again for Pennsylvania along with heat & high humidity

We are deep into a tropical air mass and that means it will be another day of very warm temperatures, high humidity, and the risk for downpours & thunderstorms. Not everyone will see downpours and storms but we do have the severe weather risk for isolated severe thunderstorms today, mainly north and northwest of the coast. Also given the rich moisture filled atmosphere, local flash flooding is a possibility.

Why I Started Saving Coffee Grounds

For years, making coffee was just part of my morning routine. I'd brew a fresh pot, pour myself a cup, and dump the used coffee grounds straight into the trash without giving them a second thought.

Before You Buy Cucumbers, Here Are 5 Things You Should Know
