Rain chances decrease for Keith Urban at the Mississippi Valley Fair tonight

By Sean Kennedy,

2026-08-05

As the Mississippi Valley Fair opened up yesterday, we were already seeing cloudy skies and some light showers from last night.

We continue to see some more rain for this afternoon as one of the big performances is gearing up for the fair later tonight with Keith Urban.

While the worst of the rain will be behind us by the time that he takes the stage, there will still be small chances of isolated showers through the evening, so make sure that you have your umbrella with you just in case.

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.

Mama’s American Goulash Is the Kind of One-Pot Supper That Makes the Whole House Smell Like Home

Savory ground beef, tender macaroni, tomatoes, and simple pantry seasonings come together in the kind of old-fashioned goulash that feels familiar from the very first spoonful. The beef cooks down rich and hearty, the pasta soaks up the tomatoey sauce, and everything simmers together until the whole pot turns thick, saucy, and deeply comforting. A little garlic, onion, and seasoning bring that classic family-dinner flavor, while the soft macaroni keeps every bite satisfying without making the dish complicated. It is practical, budget-friendly, and exactly the kind of meal that feels like something Mama could stretch to feed everybody at the table and still have enough left for tomorrow.

This Eases a Toothache Almost Instantly—No Orajel Needed

Clove oil has been used for toothaches for centuries, and it's actually one of the few home remedies with real research behind it. A clinical trial found it worked just as well as benzocaine, a common numbing agent, for easing dental pain. I keep a bottle on hand for those middle of the night toothache moments when getting to the dentist has to wait until morning. 😊

Tiffany Trump: The Apple That Didn't Fall Far From The Tree

I think we all know that there is something very off about the Trump dynasty, that sprawling American tragedy dressed up in Brioni suits and spray tans, where each act reveals fresh horrors that somehow manage to surpass the last. Donald Trump himself is a menacing wonder to behold on so many levels, a figure so cartoonishly malevolent that fiction writers would reject him as too implausible. Normally, one would argue that dragging politicians' children into the spotlight crosses an ethical line, after all, most didn't choose the glare of public scrutiny. But the Trump offspring? They don't just seek the spotlight; they sprint toward it with the desperation of moths to a flame.

I stopped baking cornbread after learning this stovetop version

Crispy on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle, and no oven required. Once you try hot water cornbread, the boxed stuff doesn't stand a chance. This isn't baked cornbread. It's fried patties made with just cornmeal, boiling water, and a hot skillet, the kind of thing grandmothers used to make without ever writing down a recipe.
