By Linda CookMike Colón,

8 hours ago

A large water-main break early Tuesday on 12th Street in the Village of East Davenport has closed the road between Spring and Heldreth.

At one point, one of two large sinkholes swallowed up a car, according to a Facebook post from a Davenport alderman.

A neighbor who lives nearby told Our Quad Cities News crew that his basement was filled with mud.

Crews from Iowa American Water were on the scene.

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert. Every spoonful is cool, creamy, fruity, and packed with crisp cookie pieces that soften just enough without disappearing completely. The citrus keeps the mixture bright, the pudding makes it velvety, and those chocolate-striped cookies turn an ordinary bowl of fruit into the one dish everyone recognizes from church suppers and family reunions. It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.

I Stopped Boiling Corn on the Cob and Did This Instead

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. Switching to a slow cooker milk bath solved that problem completely. The corn comes out tender and sweet every time, and the stove stays free for everything else on the menu.

Why I Started Wiping My Baseboards With This Spray

Baseboards are one of those things I don't always notice—until I do. One day I caught the sunlight shining across my hallway, and suddenly every dusty edge, scuff mark, and layer of grime seemed impossible to ignore. I didn't want to spend an hour scrubbing every room, so I mixed up a simple cleaning spray with ingredients I already had at home.
