Step into pirate history at the Marcus Hook Plank House

2026-07-21

At the Marcus Hook Plank house you can step back in time to the days when pirates ruled the seas.

In the 1800s, Marcus Hook along the Delaware River was a maritime town. It also drew its share of pirates.

The most famous of those is Blackbeard, and one house still stands to tell his story. It's called "Plank House," and there's quite a tale behind its wooden walls.

Before you head to the store to buy grapes again, here are 5 things that will be helpful to know. Besides the type of grape, this is the first thing I look at when shopping for grapes in the store. The freshest grapes in the grocery store are going to be ones where the stem is still green and is flexible. As the grapes age, the stem will lose its color and turn dark brown or black and become rigid. While the grapes may look and taste great, they won't last very long at that point so if you do buy them, eat them up quickly.

The Microwave Baked Potato Trick That Gets Dinner on the Table Before the Oven Even Heats Up

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

This Tiny Puppy Doesn’t Know He’s “Different”, He Just Knows He Wants Someone to Love

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.

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.

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

I Use One Unique Liquid To Make These 4-Ingredient Biscuits, and They Turn Out Perfect

7-Up biscuits get their buttery, tender texture from just four ingredients and a can of soda, no measuring flour or cutting cold butter into crumbs required. Bisquick and sour cream form the base, and the carbonation in the soda does the work of making the dough rise light and fluffy.

The Cabbage Soup People Keep Coming Back to When They Want Something Light but Actually Satisfying

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for. As it simmers, the cabbage softens without turning mushy, the vegetables release their sweetness, and the broth picks up enough flavor to make every spoonful feel substantial. It is warm, colorful, and packed with texture, making it a practical choice when you want a lighter meal that still tastes like real food instead of a compromise.

S.O.S. on a Shingle Is the Old-School Creamed Beef Breakfast That Still Knows How to Fill a Plate

Creamed beef spooned over crisp toast has the kind of no-frills comfort that feels pulled from a military mess hall, diner counter, or family kitchen where breakfast needed to be filling and cheap. The sauce turns thick, creamy, and peppery, coating every savory bite of beef before spilling over hot toast and soaking into the crunchy edges. It is rich, salty, and deeply practical, with that unmistakable stick-to-your-ribs quality that made simple meals like this worth remembering. There is nothing fancy about it, and that is exactly the appeal—just hot, creamy comfort served over something crisp enough to catch every drop.
