There’s this drink and cookie shop in my home state called Twisted Sugar that my family and I love to frequent. All of their cookies are amazing but one of my personal favorites is their birthday cake cookies. The only problem is that they are a limited edition cookie and I’ve only seen them featured twice for a month each time. They are so darn good and I’m just not okay with having them once a year, so I made a copycat and I have to say… I nailed it. Taste

Why You’ll Love Them

They are easy to make. The only prep work involved for this healthy recipe is slicing a sweet potato, then roasting it with a few seasonings. Once the slices are tender, you can add any toppings you love!

Paul Sullivan: ‘Winning Time’ was great junk food TV. Now how about a series on the 2004 Chicago Cubs? | Entertainment

The day after the series finale of your favorite TV show is always difficult.

You’re trying to decipher the meaning of the ending while wondering if you’ll ever find another show as enjoyable as this one.

Sorry, but I won’t be accepting any calls, emails, texts, DMs, instant messages or beeper messages Monday while processing Sunday’s finale of the HBO show “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.” Consider me on the IL.

Knowing I’ll have to spend the rest of the NBA postseason without Magic Johnson, Pat Riley, Jerry West, Jerry Buss and the rest of my favorite characters is distressing me to no end.

If you don’t have HBO — or don’t spend time in many of our favorite roadside motels that advertise the premium channel on their marquees — you’ve been missing out on one of the greatest sports-related dramas in television history.

Rossini Festival International Street Fair is back in downtown Knoxville, and it’s free

magenet 2 months ago

After two years of COVID-related hiatus, the Rossini Festival International Street Fair is back in all its glory. And in addition to its usual lineup of beautiful live music, food, shopping and lots of outdoor, family-friendly fun, this year’s festival features — besides its namesake — one of the most beloved composers in all of opera.

Giacomo Puccini, born midway through the 19th century, gave us some of the most ravishing music ever made in such operas as “Madama Butterfly,” “La Bohème” and “Tosca.” Even if you don’t know his name, you probably know some of his tunes. Aretha Franklin covered at least one of them.

There will be 700 performers on five stages at the 2022 Rossini Festival International Street Fair.
