For the past 50 years, Cape May's 'Storybook Lady' has fostered a love of reading with generations of children.

Now, it's finally time for her to start the next chapter of her life.

Anita De Satnick, better known as 'Miss Anita,' started her storybook program at the library in Cape May in the mid-1970s.

Over the years, she has enjoyed seeing children and even grandchildren of prior participants.

After her retirement, story time for children aged 0-5 will continue within the Cape May County Library system.

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.

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.

This 100-Year-Old Pie Has No Eggs or Milk—and Families Still Made Dessert

A century ago, home cooks didn’t always have a refrigerator full of eggs, milk, cream, and butter waiting whenever somebody wanted dessert. They learned to work with what was available, and pies like this are proof that scarcity didn’t mean giving up something sweet after supper. With no eggs or milk, this old-fashioned recipe relies on basic pantry staples to create a filling that bakes into something surprisingly rich and comforting inside a golden crust. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you look twice at the ingredient list because it seems almost too simple to work. Yet generations of practical cooks knew that a good dessert wasn’t about how many ingredients you could afford—it was about knowing what to do with the ones you had.

When It’s Too Hot to Bake, This Is the Lemon Pie I Want in the Fridge

Some summer days make turning on the oven feel like a terrible decision, but that doesn’t mean dessert has to disappear. Icebox lemon pie is exactly the kind of old-fashioned solution hot-weather kitchens were built around: cool, creamy, bright with citrus, and waiting in the refrigerator when everyone is ready for a slice. The filling is smooth and velvety with enough lemon tang to keep the sweetness from feeling heavy, while the crust adds the crumbly contrast every creamy pie needs. Served properly chilled, each forkful is refreshing in a way a warm cake simply can’t compete with when the temperature outside is climbing. It’s simple refrigerator magic with serious porch-supper energy.

I Got Tired of Making Breakfast Every Morning, So I Started Baking It Once

Mornings get a lot easier when breakfast is already sitting in the refrigerator. These protein-packed egg muffins turn a basic carton of eggs into grab-and-go portions you can make ahead, chill, and reheat when the day starts moving faster than you do. The eggs bake up fluffy and tender in individual cups, while cheese, vegetables, or cooked breakfast meat can add enough savory flavor to keep them from feeling like plain scrambled eggs in disguise. They’re warm, filling, and easy to customize depending on whatever needs using in the refrigerator. Instead of dirtying a skillet every morning—or settling for another piece of toast—you can cook breakfast once and have several mornings handled.
