A group of high school students from Philadelphia attended a Broadway show, free of charge, as part of The ASCAP Foundation "Children Will Listen" program

It was the first time many of the students had traveled to New York City.

Aiming to introduce youth from across the nation to musical theater, the program, created in 2005, honors Stephen Sondheim and is named after one of the songs in his musical, "Into the Woods."

The 3-Ingredient Biscuit Trick Older Cooks Knew Before Anyone Bought Canned Dough

Mayonnaise in biscuits sounds strange right up until you remember what mayonnaise is made from: eggs and oil, two ingredients that already belong in plenty of baked goods. Old-fashioned mayonnaise biscuits use that shortcut to turn just three basic ingredients into tender, golden biscuits without cutting cold butter into flour or worrying about complicated dough. They bake up soft inside with lightly browned tops, ready for butter, jam, honey, sausage gravy, or whatever else belongs on the breakfast table. It’s the sort of recipe that feels almost too simple until the first pan comes out of the oven. Then you understand why practical home cooks kept tricks like this around.

Four Ingredients Turn Cornmeal Into Crispy Southern Comfort

Southern hoecakes demonstrate how a few humble ingredients can create something far more memorable than their simplicity suggests. Cornmeal, liquid, egg, and hot fat come together into small cakes with crisp, golden edges and tender centers. The flavor is straightforward and deeply comforting, especially when bacon grease adds its smoky character to the pan. They resemble pancakes in shape but carry the rustic texture and savory corn flavor of skillet cornbread. Each cake develops plenty of browned surface, making those edges the part everyone searches for first. This is old-fashioned cooking built around necessity, thrift, and ingredients that were easy to keep on hand. The result remains valuable today because warm, crisp corn cakes still know how to make a bowl of beans or a plate of vegetables feel like a complete meal.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup

Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.

Four Ingredients Make This Roast Fall Apart by Itself

A slow-cooker roast that practically shreds itself sounds like the result of careful seasoning and a long ingredient list, but this version needs only four ingredients to reach that tender finish. The slow cooker provides time and gentle heat, allowing the beef to soften while the simple seasonings concentrate into a rich cooking liquid. By dinner, the meat pulls apart beneath a fork and the entire house smells as though someone spent all day actively preparing the meal. The short ingredient list makes it realistic for busy mornings, limited grocery budgets, and anyone who wants comfort food without a complicated recipe. It is hearty, familiar, and impressive in the effortless way slow-cooker dinners often are. Few things feel better than opening the lid after a long day and discovering the main course already tender, hot, and waiting to be served.

Crescent Dough Turns Into a Cinnamon-Sugar Dessert Pizza

Crescent dough, cinnamon sugar, butter, and vanilla glaze come together in a dessert that tastes like cinnamon rolls decided to become pizza. The dough bakes into a soft, flaky base with golden edges, while the cinnamon-sugar layer melts across the surface and settles into every seam. A simple glaze adds the sweet finish people expect from bakery pastries, but the flat pizza shape makes the whole treat easier to slice and share. It looks inviting straight from the baking sheet and requires none of the rolling, rising, or careful shaping associated with homemade cinnamon rolls. Every wedge offers buttery pastry, warm spice, and enough glaze to turn an ordinary tube of crescent dough into something that smells as though a bakery opened in the kitchen.
