While most people say it's never worth messing with perfection, numerous well-known dessert brands are coming out with new and exciting spins on classic sweet treats on an almost daily basis.

Case in point with KLIMON's increasingly innovative product lineup, which includes a highly imaginative (and altogether tasty) twist on traditional ice cream sandwiches.

Since its launch in summer 2022, KLIMON has become one of the most talked-about dessert brands to make its way in major grocery chains' freezer section. In contrast to most dairy companies, KLIMON specifically delivers plant-based, dairy-free frozen desserts, giving the brand its distinct name ("no milk" spelled in reverse).

While some skeptical shoppers might raise an eyebrow at the prospect of a dairy-free ice cream sandwich, the company has just won a notably impressive distinction within the larger culinary field, as reported by a recent press release from the company.

As the release mentions, KLIMON has formally won the 2026 FABI Favorite Award for Innovative Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sandwich. The award has specifically been given to the brand's beloved Churro Chata Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sandwich, a rich and creamy dessert inspired by cinnamon-dusted churros and nutty horchata.

"The Food and Beverage Awards highlight the creativity and product innovation that continues to drive the foodservice industry forward," said Tom Cindric, president of the exhibitions for Informa Connect Foodservice Group. "The FABI Favorites offer an extra spotlight to the most outstanding products that truly exemplify the future of food and beverage."

"We're watching a fundamental shift in food culture," said Alex Cotraviwat, Founder and CEO of Klimon. "Desserts and beverages are no longer the add-on. They're becoming the reason people show up. The new expectation is indulgence without compromise. Cleaner ingredients, dairy-free options, and a premium experience that actually delivers."

Right now, consumers can find KLIMON's ice cream products at most nationwide retailers, including Lowes Foods, Kroger, Gelson's and Harris Teeter, among other stores.

Andrew Zimmern’s original go-to brisket recipe dates back to his grandmother. The classic braised brisket with fennel and onions recipe has been a staple in the celeb chef’s holiday celebrations for generations. As happens with many family recipes, Zimmern has added his tweaks over the years and makes the recipe “slightly different these days,” though much of the technique stays the same.

“[Brisket is] extremely difficult to cook. But if you follow a couple of easy principles, it's not that hard,” Zimmern tells Parade. Over the years, Zimmern has made many a brisket, including for holidays, parties, TV shows and more. And that's not where his love of brisket ends. He even created "Brisket Week," where he shared what to do with all the tender, juicy leftovers. With all of this knowledge, we knew Zimmern was the perfect person to show us how to make the best brisket.

How to Shop for Brisket

When you go to the store, you might have a few brisket options: the point (sometimes called the crown), the flat and whole brisket. The point is the thicker, fattier portion and the flat is well, flatter and more even, typically about three or four inches thick versus the seven- or eight-inch point. 

Although the flat and the point cook at different speeds, Zimmern still likes to cook a whole brisket. If all you can find is a flat, that will work, too, but Zimmern prefers a whole brisket because it adds a little extra insurance because of the fattier point. The flat is "very lean, and you end up with very little leeway on nailing it just right,” Zimmern says.

What Size Brisket Do I Need?

When you’re at the grocery store, try to avoid giant briskets (like 15 pounds) because they are difficult to cook evenly. If you have a big crowd to feed, Zimmern recommends opting for two smaller briskets—but this guide will focus on a single 6- to 9-pound untrimmed brisket.

How to Cook Brisket

Now that you know exactly how to choose the right brisket, it’s time to get cooking. Here are Zimmern's top tips. 

1. Let It Come to Room Temperature

Like most meats, it’s best to temper it first (meaning, take the meat out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature). According to Zimmern, this process will take about 90 minutes. This step will help make sure that the meat cooks evenly. “If you put a cold brisket in the oven and seal it and then start the braising process, it's like putting an ice cube wrapped in a blanket in the oven. It's just going to take longer to get tender,“ Zimmern says. While you're waiting for the meat to temper, preheat your oven to 275° or 300°. Zimmern prefers the former for a low and slow cook, but if you need to speed things up a bit, 300° works too.

2. Don’t Trim Off the Fat

One of Zimmern’s biggest chef takeaways is not to trim the fat off ahead of time. The fat is full of flavor, which has “too much value” to slice off before cooking. Once tempered, take your brisket out and feel the top of it for “big chunks of extraneous fat,” then slice those chunks off with a small sharp knife. Zimmern advises leaving the rest of the fat on the meat because it will melt into the brisket as it cooks. If there's any fat left after cooking, Zimmern also has a plan. “When I'm slicing my brisket to serve hours later, that's when I can trim that fat off. It's already done its job,” he says. 

3. Always, Always, Always Pre-Season

Zimmern changes up his brisket methods about every ten years, but right now he's in his herbes de Provence era. There's a range of ingredients included in this French spice blend, but it often includes dried rosemary, tarragon, marjoram and thyme. If you don't have herbes de Provence, Zimmern suggests using a mix of dried thyme and rosemary. And no matter what spice blend you use, be sure to season the brisket generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

4. Sear and Deglaze

After seasoning, Zimmern gives the brisket a good sear. He heats some high-temperature oil (like grapeseed) in a roasting pan set across two burners. When the oil shimmers, he adds the brisket and cooks it until it's browned, then flips it and sears the second side. After the meat is seared, Zimmern moves the brisket to a platter. While the brisket rests, he sautées vegetables (whichever type you prefer, depending on which recipe you’re following) in the roasting pan with tomato paste and a bouquet garni (a bundle of herbs tied with kitchen twine). Carrots, brussels sprouts, onions and fennel are all great veggies to consider cooking alongside your brisket.

Next up? A bottle of red wine for deglazing the pan. The wine will pick up all the browned bits in the roasting pan from the brisket and the veggies, which will add flavor to the dish. Zimmern likes to use red wine because it adds richness to the brisket and also helps tenderize the meat. “When [the wine] starts simmering, I push my vegetables to the side, and I put my brisket in, and then I cover the pan with foil, and I put it in a 275° oven,” he says.  

5. Let It Rest

Once the brisket is finished cooking, it's time for a rest. Zimmern’s rule of thumb is to let the brisket rest for one hour, minimum. If you have a little more time or are taking the brisket to a dinner party, you can cook it the day before, a method Zimmern likes a lot because the meat cools in the liquid and rests in the fridge, which allows all the flavors to meld and mingle.

Madeline Hill

How Long Should You Cook Brisket?

Zimmern often avoids this question because the answer really depends on your brisket. Some briskets are short and stout, taking seven to eight hours, while others are long and thin, and cook in five to six hours. To make sure you get it right, Zimmern recommends letting your brisket cook for five hours, and then checking it each hour after that for tenderness. He starts to really pay attention when an internal thermometer reads 165° when inserted into the thickest part of the brisket. For a braised brisket (vs a smoked brisket) you're looking for a final temperature of 180°. 

Having trouble figuring out exactly how to get the temperature of the meat? Zimmern can help. “The best thing to do is to pick a spot about two inches up from the end of the flat. Go about two, three inches in,” he says. Then, grab a cooking fork (the kind with the two long tines) or a pair of sturdy tongs and turn the brisket four times. If you’re able to turn it and the meat is tender, then your brisket is ready to be taken out of the oven. 

A 9- to 10-pound brisket will usually take 6 hours at 300°. And just because the brisket is braising in wine, know that it's still possible to overcook it. “After a while, the absorption of liquid has tapped out. The fat is gone from the meat itself, and then every minute afterward that you're cooking it, it's getting drier and drier, even though it's sitting in liquid,” he says.

The Best Way to Serve Brisket

To slice your finished brisket, separate the two main parts. The flat and point have protein strands at different angles and you want to cut the meat across the grain for the most tender slices.

Sprinkle the brisket with salt and pepper once again (but don’t overdo it or it will suck out the moisture). You can even place pepper grinders on the table so guests can season to taste. To plate, arrange the sliced brisket on a platter, and place the vegetables around the meat. You can make a simple pan gravy with the liquid in the roasting pan and pour that on top of the brisket.

If you’re using the overnight method, Zimmern says, “One of the benefits of refrigerating it was that I could take away all the fat. All the fat rose to the top, I was able to take it off with a spoon in my hands.” To serve the next day, he takes the cold brisket out of the liquid, wraps it well, puts it in the oven and reduces the liquid to make a tasty sauce. Throw in a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar (note: a very small amount) to add a little tartness to the sauce to offset the sweeter vegetables. You then reheat the brisket at 225° for 90 minutes.

Best Sides to Serve With Brisket

What should you serve with your perfectly made brisket? Zimmern loves crispy potatoes of some sort, especially potato pancakes. Green vegetables or a winter salad with a citrus vinaigrette are also some complementary go-tos. Get started with these great recipe ideas.

We are just a week away from High Potential's highly-anticipated season finale, which fans are hoping will reveal the answers to some major plot points that have been brewing since the ABC crime drama's very first season. But is High Potential new tonight, March 31? Because there's a lot to dig into before we have a break from the series until the 2026 fall TV season. Like, seriously, what's the deal with the Roman situation?

Let's dig into whether or not we can expect newness tonight from our friends over at L.A.'s robbery and homicide division, shall we?

Is there a new episode of ‘High Potential’ tonight?

Mercifully the answer to that question is a resounding yes. High Potential is indeed new on Tuesday, March 31, and it's looking pretty intense, if we're being honest.

@highpotentialabc

The stakes couldn't be higher on Tuesday's new episode of HighPotential. 😳 Don't miss it at 9/8c on ABC and stream on Hulu.

♬ original sound - High Potential

As if last week's explosive episode that landed Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) in the hospital wasn't aggressive enough, this week depicts something even more sinister. Our favorite detective squad launches an investigation to find the culprits behind a series of heists involving private vaults or, as Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) puts it, "Storage closets for rich hoarders."

As it turns out, this is looking like way more than a string of high-profile robberies but, rather, could be leading to a cyber attack on the entire city. As Morgan explains in the trailer for the episode, titled "Second Sunday," "The power grid could be shut down, the water could be poisoned, or air traffic could be scrambled."

Needless to say, all of those options sound positively terrifying. And from the snippet above we can see that there's more explosions and a bunch of guys in pretty sinister-looking masks.

When my parents first started working on their retirement plans more than a decade ago, they considered relocating to several different nearby states. And while one state kept popping up on their radar thanks to access to everything from beaches to mountains, the lack of long-term affordability kept them from pulling the proverbial trigger.

Now, that state has just been named the worst place to retire in a report from Seniorly, and I'm kind of glad that my mom and dad passed it up all those years ago.

New Jersey Named Worst State for Retirees

In 2025, Seniorlycompiled data on all 50 states, looking at things like cost of living, access to healthcare, and overall recreational opportunities to come up with the best and worst places to retire. After reviewing all of the data, the company named New Jersey as the worst state to retire, calling it "one of the leas affordable states in the country." The report says that the tax rate is 10.75 percent for top earners. And while it's hard to imagine that retirees can be "top earners" these days, those with substantial retirement savings and investments could qualify.

Not only that, but Seniorly also noted a few other factors at play, stating that overall, the state has poor access to arts and recreation opportunity for seniors who are likely looking to stay active by filling their day with engaging and community driven activities. The report also determined that New Jersey has a very unhealthy senior population, stating that 65 percent of the seniors living in the state have more than three chronic conditions.

This hints at two different issues for those ages 65 an up, which include having to compete for healthcare options since so many seniors in the state will need specialists, as well as the potential for the environment itself to play a factor in your health as you age.

Several Other States Received Bottom Ratings for Retirees

In addition to New Jersey, Seniorly also called out several other states in its report, explaining that they also failed to meet some of the metrics that would matter most to seniors. The list includes:

• Alabama
• Kansa
• Georgia
• Oklahoma

While these states can be considered more affordable than others, it sounds like its the overall health of senior populations in these other states that landed them on the list, as well as below-average spending on long-term care, which likely means that the facilities that these seniors may need to call home once they can no longer live on their own may not be as nice or as updated as those in other states where the spending on long-term care facilities is higher.

Of course, all that being said, many people can make the most of any situation. And there are likely plenty of people who dream of retiring in New Jersey, especially if they are lucky enough to snag a place close to any of the state's beautiful shore points, which should find more than enough opportunities for excursive and outdoor recreation.

Kylie Kelce and her husband, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, have just expanded their family by one more. The podcast host and mom of four daughters took to social media to share the news.

On March 31, the host of the "Not Gonna Lie" podcast shared a new video on the show's Instagram page. The caption read, "Meet Kylie's new puppy!"

In an additional comment, Kelce added, "Meow?" That part made sense to everybody after watching the video.

The video showed Kelce standing outdoors, holding two puppies in her arms. She said, "So, as you can see, there is no snow on the ground, and, I'm holding two puppies."

"Something happened," she added.

View this post on Instagram

Kelce then shared, "May I introduce Bernadette Kelce." She teasingly tried to put a cat-ear headband over the puppy's head and exclaimed, "It's the cat I'm adopting. Meow?"

"You caught me. It's not a cat. It's a German shepherd puppy. I can't help myself," Kelce admitted.

She sheepishly added, "Someone let me loose in a rescue and this is what happened. I can't..."

Kelce then snuggled the puppy and said, "Welcome to the family, Bernadette. Until Jason changes her name."

Additional context regarding the newest Kelce family member was added in a new episode of "Not Gonna Lie." The new podcast episode was posted a few hours before the revealing Instagram post went live.

She explained as the podcast episode began that her husband had been "leaning more, I think, towards barn cats" in terms of adding another member to the family. Kelce then asked the ladies at the rescue she was talking with what they see as the biggest thing that holds people back from adopting, "if not their husband."

The episode was initially filmed about six weeks ago, when there was snow on the ground. Kelce visited the Pennsylvania SPCA Main Line Animal Rescue to showcase their work, but "then something special happened."

As a result of that something special, "We had to film an entirely new ending. That's called a tease," Kelce shared.

Kelce then joked that this was "the cuddliest, fuzziest, furriest, probably most personally reckless episode of FAFO. And that's saying something."

The reckless reference was because Kelce was specifically visiting adoptable animals at the rescue. "I know I'm putting myself in a very bad predicament here," she admitted, suggesting it might be impossible for her to leave without a new family member.

"Some of you might know that between my husband and I, we have an ongoing cat saga. Jason does know that I'm here today. We did discuss whether or not he would be peeved if I came home with an animal," she explained.

Apparently, the NFL alum told his wife that on a scale of 1 to 10 of how mad he'd be, he would be a 10. That may have slowed the podcaster down a bit, but it didn't stop her. Kelce admitted, "To my credit, he did not distinguish which side of the scale was p*ssed."

As soon as Kelce sat down with the first group of puppies, she started falling in love. However, Bernadette did not come from that first group.

When Kelce was filming the first part of the episode, she learned about puppies that were at another location of the rescue. She loves German shepherds, so she couldn't resist.

Several weeks later, as she met the puppies, she noted that her husband agreed to this, "If I gave him naming rights." Going into meeting the puppies, the name Bernadette was already a leading contender. Soon, Kelce met "the one."

While Kelce did meet a lot of cats, and the family has talked about adopting a cat, she declared, "We're not ready for that."

The decision was made, the puppy was picked, and the Kelce family has grown by one more.

Far from being just a break from routine, travel may actually help protect your heart, reduce stress, and contribute to a longer life. Imagine that: something as simple and joyful as exploring new places could have measurable benefits for your health. That’s the takeaway from recent research on travel’s effects on the body and mind, and it’s something any traveler can embrace without major lifestyle changes.

According to research out of Texas A&M University, traveling isn’t just good for the soul it might also be good for your physical health. The study found that people who travel tend to experience reduced life stress, stronger relationships, and even better heart health compared with those who do not travel. Traveling also increases productivity and promotes learning, both of which can contribute to long‑term wellbeing.

As someone who has always felt refreshed and energized after a few days on the road, this research aligns with my own experience. There’s something about stepping out of the everyday that seems to reset more than just your mood and it refocuses your perspective.

Adventure starts with a click—sign up for our newsletter for travel tips and stories.

The Science Behind Why Travel Can Benefit Heart Health

You may not think of travel as exercise, but it often involves movement, including walking new cities, hiking trails, swimming on beaches, or even navigating airports and train stations. These activities elevate your heart rate and keep your cardiovascular system engaged. Regular physical activity, even in small doses, is a well‑established contributor to longevity. Research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology suggests that small changes such as walking a bit more or sleeping a bit longer are linked with significantly lower risk of heart attack and stroke.

“Traveling for pleasure can contribute to subjective well‑being because people have more opportunities to detach from their work environment, to experience new things, and to control what they want to do during vacations.” says Paul Simeone, Ph.D., Vice President and Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Lee Health.

This helps explain why travel, which naturally encourages movement and exploration, could contribute to better cardiovascular health. Beyond sheer physical activity, travel also reduces stress, which is closely tied to heart health. Chronic stress raises levels of cortisol and can worsen blood pressure, while stress reduction supports better cardiac outcomes. Studies of vacations and breaks from work have repeatedly shown improvements in mood, lower levels of stress hormones, and better heart health markers.

How Stress Reduction on Trips Contributes to Longevity

Stress, as many of us know too well, is more than a mood. It affects hormones, sleep cycles, blood pressure, digestion, and the immune system. When stress becomes chronic, it increases the risk of heart disease, depression, and a host of other conditions that shorten lifespan.

Travel provides a built‑in interruption to your usual stressors. A change of scenery disrupts the patterns that keep your mind on autopilot. According to behavioral research, stepping into new environments enhances mood and reduces perceptions of stress by engaging the brain’s reward and novelty systems, releasing dopamine and serotonin, which promote wellbeing.

But the benefits go deeper than the days you’re away. When you return from a trip with reduced stress and restored perspective, you’re often better equipped to handle daily pressures with resilience. That long‑term reduction in stress response may be precisely the mechanism that helps travel have a lasting impact on health.

Travel Tips for Health‑Minded Explorers

If your goal is not just to check destinations off a list but to genuinely improve your wellbeing while you travel, here are some practical strategies that blend exploration and health:

1. Move with intention: Whether it’s walking cobblestone lanes or hiking by the sea, aim to be physically active every day. Even gentle movement helps.

2. Prioritize rest: It sounds counterintuitive when you’re on vacation, but good sleep is critical. Rest allows your body to recover and supports heart and mental health. According to broader health research, even small increases in nightly rest are linked to lower risk of heart problems.

3. Engage the moment: Try to be present. Notice sights, sounds, smells, and conversations. Engaging fully with your surroundings reduces stress more than passive observation, like scrolling on a phone.

4. Travel with others: Social connection is another key piece of stress reduction. Shared moments with friends or family can reinforce support networks, another known factor in longevity.

Why This Matters for Travelers

For many people, travel has always been about experiencing worlds beyond their own and creating memories that outlive the journey. Now we can add that travel may genuinely contribute to your health in tangible ways.

In a world that often feels fast and demanding, taking time to explore is a real investment in your body and mind. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to a nearby town or a two‑week adventure abroad, stepping away from routine and into exploration may help your heart, lower stress, and even add years to your life.

Former 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On star Joseph Duggar was just released from jail after posting a $600,000 bond as he awaits trial for child molestation charges.

On Tuesday, March 31, Duggar, 31, was released from custody in Florida after his first court appearance in the state following his extradition from Arkansas.

Earlier in the morning, Duggar attended a Fourteenth Circuit court appearance via Zoom from the Bay County Jail. Judge Tracy Smith set bonds for Duggar totalling $600,000—$100,000 for the lewd and lascivious behavior by a person 18 years or older charge, $500,000 for the lewd and lascivious behavior—molestation of a victim less than 12 years old charge. She also ordered that he has no contact with the alleged victim and no unsupervised contact with any minors under 18.

On Sunday, March 29, Duggar entered a written plea of not guilty and requested a jury trial. His next court date is set for April 20 at 9 a.m. CT.

The release of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar's seventh-born child from custody came after the Bay County Sheriff's Office arrested Joseph on March 18 over alleged incidents involving a 9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation in Florida.

“The victim reported Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap. As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket,” a news release from the BCSO detailed. “During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and grazed her genitals. Duggar would also continue to rub his hands on her thighs. The victim stated Duggar eventually apologized for his actions and the incidents stopped after the apology.”

Meanwhile, Joseph also faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment in Arkansas. His wife, Kendra Duggar, 27, was arrested and faces the same charges, according to a news release from the Tontitown Police Department.

“Kendra’s arrest has nothing to do with Joseph’s—although one precipitated another," a source with knowledge of the case told Us Weekly. After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house.”

The source continued, “Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.”

Despite making appearances as her beloved character, Jan Levinson, throughout all nine seasons of The Office, actress Melora Hardin doesn't tune into the NBCsitcom.

In a January 2025 interview on Still Here Hollywood Podcast w/ Steve Kmetko, Hardin said she has never rewatched the comedy series, which had a nine-season run until 2013.

"I really don't," said Hardin during the podcast interview.

According to Hardin, she'll often be approached by fans of The Office who have a better memory of the show than she does.

"I have fans that come up to me and they have seen the show, start to finish, every season like 10 times and I'm just like, 'Wow.' And they quote lines to me and I'm always like, 'Yeah.' There's some I remember and some I'm like, I mean, I've moved on and done so many things since then," said the actress.

She also said her daughters, Rory and Piper, weren't interested in The Office.

"My younger daughter never got into it. My older daughter was never into it. And then all of her friends were watching it. So, she kind of tuned in a little just to watch it, you know. I may have seen or heard a couple episodes during that time that she was tuning into it," said Hardin during the podcast episode.

Melora Hardin Discussed The Lasting Popularity of 'The Office' in March 2025

During a March 2025 appearance on the Lightweights podcast, Hardin discussed the lasting popularity of The Office. She explained that the show amassed a multi-generational fanbase because of streaming services.

"What really has happened with that is that it just lives on forever. That's the thing, it's crazy how it just continues to touch people, and, you know, new generations so that I have fans that are 10 years old and I have fans that are, you know, 65 or 70," said Hardin during the March 2025 interview.

There’s a certain kind of road trip moment you can’t plan for. It happens somewhere between destinations, when the GPS says to keep going, but something strange or wonderful on the side of the road tells you to stop. I’ve learned to listen to that instinct. More often than not, it leads to the stories I remember most.

Roadside attractions grew out of early American car culture, when long highways needed personality to lure travelers into towns and businesses. As the Smithsonian Institution points out, quirky stops became essential parts of the landscape along early cross‑country highways like Route 66, reflecting local creativity and hometown identity. Today, these attractions still thrive, not because they are polished, but because they are unforgettable.

Your next trip starts here—get curated travel stories when you sign up for our newsletter.

Classic Roadside Attractions You Should Still Pull Over For1. Cadillac Ranch — Amarillo, Texas

A cluster of vintage Cadillacs planted nose‑first in a field, Cadillac Ranch began in 1974 as public art by a group called Ant Farm. Travelers are encouraged to add their own spray paint layers, so the installation is always changing.

2. Lucy the Elephant — Margate City, New Jersey

Built in 1881 as a real estate gimmick, Lucy is now a beloved landmark on the Jersey Shore. According to Lucy the Elephant, Inc., this six‑story elephant is the oldest surviving example of novelty architecture in the U.S., and visitors can take tours and enjoy ocean views from inside.

3. Salvation Mountain — Niland, California

An explosion of color in the desert, Salvation Mountain is a massive outdoor art piece covered in spiritual messages and paint. Built over decades by artist Leonard Knight, it is recognized by the California Department of Parks and Recreation as one of America’s most distinctive folk art environments.

4. Wall Drug — Wall, South Dakota

What began in the 1930s as a struggling pharmacy became a legendary stop all thanks to one idea: free ice water for travelers. Billboards advertising that offer stretch for hundreds of miles along I‑90, and the massive complex now includes shops, restaurants, and displays. The South Dakota State Historical Society documents its rise as a major roadside magnet.

5. Carhenge — Alliance, Nebraska

This quirky artistic tribute to England’s Stonehenge is made entirely from vintage automobiles painted gray and arranged in the same circle formation. According to Visit Nebraska, Carhenge draws curious visitors who want to see art collide with automotive history in the High Plains.

A full‑size replica of Stonehenge built from foam in 2004, Foamhenge looks absurd yet delightful in the countryside near Natural Bridge. As noted by the Virginia Tourism Corporation, it’s become a playful roadside staple for travelers exploring the Shenandoah Valley.

7. South of the Border — Hamer, South Carolina

Spanning generations of drivers, South of the Border is famous for its retro neon signage and towering sombrero. South of the Border’s own history page highlights its mid‑20th‑century beginnings and decades as a classic stop for travelers heading south on I‑95.

8. International Car Forest of the Last Church — Goldfield, Nevada

Dozens of cars are stacked, buried, and painted across a wide expanse of desert land. While information on this stop is more grassroots, independent travel publication Roadside America describes it as one of the most eccentric art environments on the West Coast, created by local artists and maintained as a living, evolving installation.

9. World’s Largest Ball of Twine — Cawker City, Kansas

Started by a local resident in 1953, this giant ball of twine has grown for decades and continues to expand thanks to annual community events. Kansas Sampler Foundation celebrates it as storytelling Americana, both whimsical and historic.

10. The Mystery Spot — Santa Cruz, California

A place where physics seems optional, the Mystery Spot is a gravity‑defying tourist attraction where balls roll “uphill” and people appear to lean at impossible angles. According to Visit Santa Cruz County, it’s one of the oldest and most famous mystery houses in the U.S.

What Makes Roadside Attractions Worth the Stop

Travel experts at Lonely Planet highlight that roadside attractions remain relevant because they offer playful, unpredictable detours that enrich the travel experience. I’ve found this to be absolutely true. Some of my favorite road trip memories weren’t the destinations I planned, but the unexpected stops I nearly skipped.

When you pull over at a place like Carhenge at golden hour or wander beneath the painted surface of Salvation Mountain, you’re not just looking at something unusual. You’re participating in a country’s storytelling tradition.

Tips for Road Trippers Who Love the Unexpected

Planning matters, but so does flexibility. According to the U.S. Travel Association, one of the biggest appeals of road travel is the freedom to explore beyond the expected, to take the exit ramp because something looks interesting.

Don't miss a beat—subscribe now for trending travel updates and destination guides.

Here are a few tips for making roadside stops part of your trip:

• Build slack into your schedule. Give yourself extra time so that detours are a joy, not a stressor.
• Look for the unusual. Hand‑painted signs and curious silhouettes often lead to the best stops.
• Ask locals. Sometimes the best roadside discoveries aren’t on maps yet.

When it comes to holiday movies, It's a Wonderful Life takes the cake for many.

Its legendary star known as James Stewart — or Jimmy Stewart, as the world came to know him by — would star in plenty of other classics following the film's release. In fact, he won his lone Oscar several years earlier.

In between starring in the Academy Award-winning film The Philadelphia Story and leading It's a Wonderful Life, Stewart served in World War II and flew 20 missions over Europe. This pivotal time in his career — including the icon's return home to an opportunity to star in the timeless Christmas movie — is the focus of a new biopic hitting the masses later this year.

Better yet, Variety is now reporting that Jimmy is getting a theatrical release amid a new partnership between Burns & Co. Entertainment and Fathom Entertainment. The movie will open nationwide with a traditional theatrical release beginning on Nov. 6.

The young actor to portray Stewart was previously announced and still may come as a surprise to some moviegoers. KJ Apa (Riverdale) fame portrays the legend and posted an official teaser for Jimmy late last year for fans. See below.

The film's all-star cast also includes:

• Kara Killmer
• Neal McDonough
• Max Casella
• Jason Alexander
• Christopher McDonald
• Sarah Drew
• Rob Riggle

“Fathom Entertainment is thrilled to partner with Burns & Co. and bring Jimmy – the fascinating and inspiring story of the iconic American actor Jimmy Stewart – to the big screen,” Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment, said in a statement to Variety, adding that the movie “is a special film — filled with genuine heart and terrific performances — from a remarkable ensemble cast that brings Hollywood’s golden age and the battlefields of World War II vividly to life.”

Fathom also announced that it will bring back It’s a Wonderful Life to theaters beginning on Dec. 18 for its 80th anniversary, per Variety.

COVID-19 has changed a lot over the years, as has our ability to protect ourselves through vaccines. And we recently got some new news on the virus. On March 19, the CDC released a report stating that it was tracking the variant BA.3.2, nicknamed "Cicada. Health officials first detected it in 2024, but have recently noticed an uptick in infections attributed to Cicada. It's a subvariant of Omicron—just like XFG or Stratus, which are highly contagious and have circulated this year.

"As you can imagine, as soon as we identify the most recent variant, a new one pops up to take its place," says Dr. Sharon Nachman, MD, the chief of pediatric infectious diseases at Stony Brook Children's Hospital. "This is especially true if you are looking outside of your immediate geographical location or are traveling."

As new subvariants make headlines and infect people, it raises an important question: Does the current vaccine protect against the latest COVID mutation? Finding the answer can feel like taking a trip to the wild west.

"We are unfortunately seeing significant misinformation regarding health and wellness topics in general and vaccines in particular," states Dr. Mark Loafman, MD, MPH, a family physician. "This makes 'doing our own research' a potential minefield leading to missed opportunities for health prevention and, in some cases, actual harm. Turning to those who have actually done the research remains the best way forward."

But scientists have done the research on vaccines.

"We still have universal consensus on vaccine guidance from a wide array of scientific and medical groups and most state and local health departments," Dr. Loafman says. "In most cases, your family doctor is closely following this as they make recommendations and address your questions or concerns."

Below, doctors share what they're telling their patients about the current vaccine's ability to protect against the current COVID mutation.

Does the Current Vaccine Protect Against the Cicada Variant?

"Yes, the current vaccine offers significant protection against serious illness from all currently circulating COVID strains, which is the primary goal for all vaccines," Dr. Loafman states. "There is also evidence that vaccinated individuals recover more quickly and are less likely to spread infection."

Dr. Nachman also says the vaccine protects from the current strains, which are related to the Omicron variant.

"The vaccine was developed using RNA from the past JN.1 variants to which Omicron is related," she explains.

And that's good news because getting the current COVID-19 strain is not a walk in the park.

"This variant has many mutations that may allow it to spread, but symptoms remain similar to other COVID strains, including cough, fever, fatigue, sore throat and congestion," says Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, a chief medical advisor for Sleepopolis. "While variants may change over time, the core pattern of respiratory symptoms generally stays consistent."

To be clear, getting the COVID vaccine doesn't mean you are 100% protected from infection.

"Protection isn’t perfect against every mutation, but data show that updated vaccines still reduce hospitalizations and serious outcomes compared with no vaccination," Dr. Dasgupta clarifies.

Dr. Nachman tells Parade that the current vaccine may not protect against variants that will circulate down the road. But for now, your best bet is to ensure you're up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccines, which are providing protection from current strains.

Is It Too Late To Get a COVID Vaccine?

No, it's not too late to get a COVID vaccine. Unlike professional athletes (and to a large extent, the flu), COVID-19 doesn't get an offseason.

"It is never too late to get a vaccine if you are due for one," Dr. Loafman says. "With technological advancements leading to a few new and improved COVID vaccines in the past few years, it can be challenging to know if or when you are due for vaccination."

Dr. Nachman shares that the common suggestion is to get boosted against COVID after three or more months.

"But, it is also important to think about what is happening in your community, what is your health status and who else lives with you that you need to help protect," she states.

It can get confusing. Dr. Loafman shares that your family doctor can work with you on the best cadence for your health and help you track when it's time to roll up your sleeves and get another COVID-19 booster.

"This helps you catch up, stay current, and forecast what will be due in the near future, and when," he says.

Who Should Get the COVID Vaccine?

Dr. Dasgupta suggests that people ages six months and older get COVID vaccines and boosters.

"The strongest emphasis is on adults 65 and older and people who are at higher risk for severe disease," he tells Parade. "People with chronic health conditions, those who are immunocompromised, pregnant people, and people in long-term care settings are especially encouraged to get vaccinated."

Again, Dr. Dasgupta says it's best to go over your health history and personal risk factors with your doctor. From there, he notes you can find a COVID vaccine at:

• Pharmacies
• Community health centers
• Primary care offices
• Public health clinics

"You can check with your local health department, pharmacy, or your clinician to find nearby vaccine locations," Dr. Dasgupta adds. "Many pharmacies allow scheduling online or by phone and can tell you what vaccines they have in stock."

Speaking of information, it's important to ensure what you're hearinga bout COVID and vaccines is accurate.

"Don't take medical advice at face value from social media influencers who lack proper credentials and know nothing about your family’s specific medical situation and needs," Dr. Nachman states. "You would not go to a grocery store to ask the cashier how to install your new windows. You would want the expert to tell you what to do, which windows work best for your home, and how to install them correctly. The same process for the correct answers should also drive your need for information about vaccines from a trusted source."

Besides your doctor, she suggests looking at the websites of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Immunize.org and VaccinateYourFamily.org also have good resources.

Each year, USA Today puts together its 10Best lists, which name the top 10 best places in certain categories. The publication has just released its list of top Major League Baseball (MLB) parks, and the number one spot has been awarded to Citizen Bank Bark.

But, Philadelphia owes this victory to more than just the spirit of its very own Phillies. It sounds like a big debt of gratitude is also owed to the park's beloved food and drink offerings, which range from local favorites like Chickie's & Pete's to the Jersey Shore's own Manco & Manco Pizza.

View this post on Instagram Citizens Bank Park Named Best MLB Stadium in the U.S.

USA Today's panel of judges have named Citizen's Bank Park as the number one MLB stadium in the country. "The City of Brotherly Love welcomed a brand-new stadium in the 21st century, with Citizens Bank Park opening to the public in 2004," the details of the voting said. "Philadelphia Phillies games are a top attraction around here, but no visit to the park is complete without checking out Ashburn Alley, a site that's packed full of local restaurants and baseball-themed interactive displays."

Those who want to catch a game there will have dozens of opportunities to, since it appears that the league will be hosting more than 80 of its games in the beloved park. As for ticket prices, you can expect to pay a range of prices depending on where you're seated, with some tickets going for as little as $49 each. Of course, that doesn't include some of the other expenses you may face when heading to the big game, since you'll also likely encounter parking fees or else need to pony up for transportation costs, especially if you'll be drinking.

Citizens Bank Park is Known for its Food Concessions

As someone who has been to her fair share of ballgames, I know that noshing on some ballpark favorites is an essential part of the experience. That's also a big driver in what saw the park named as one of the best in America, since it has so many delicious food and drink offerings to choose from, according to Eater Philly, like:

• Chickie's & Pete's
• Hatfield Grill
• Old City Creamery
• South Philadelphia Market
• Four Walls Whiskey
• 1883 Burger Co.
• Casamigos Bar
• Schar Gluten-Free Dedicated Stand
• Miller Lite Liberty Landing
• Jim Beam Cocktail Bar
• Kona Big Wave Bar
• Kosher Grill
• Greens & Grains
• Coca-Cola Corner
• Yuengling Party Pavilion
• Uncle Charlie's Steaks
• Many Hands Coffee Truck
• Budweiser Batter's Eye Bar
• Bull's BBQ
• Campo's
• Colbie's Southern Kissed Chicken
• Federal Donuts
• Manco & Manco Pizza
• Pass and Stow
• P.J. Whelihan's
• Shake Shack
• Tony Luke's
• The Yard Bar

Believe it or not, this isn't even everything, since there are also different options that are only available in certain sections, like at the club level. And while Phillies fans of a certain age may be sad that they can't grab an old school Schmitter when they head to the ballpark, it's clear that there won't be any shortage of options to choose from when you're here.

Citizens Bank Park Isn't the Only Top Ballpark in Pennsylvania

While we're talking about noteworthy ballparks, it's worth adding that Coca-Cola Park also won top marks from USA Today's 10Best list this year. The park, which is less than two hours from Citizens Bank Park (depending on when you're traveling and whether you get stuck in that Philly's game day traffic), would make the perfect stop for anyone hoping to see exactly what all the fuss is about Pennsylvania's ballparks, and why we keep ranking so high when it comes time to enjoy America's favorite past time.

It'll be five years since the last James Bond movie, No Time to Die, starring Daniel Craig, was released. There are rumors about who is being considered to take over the iconic British role.

Of course, fans of the spy franchise have their own opinions of who should take over the role. Regé-Jean Page talked about the reaction to him possibly being 007.

Page, 38, addressed his name coming up as a possible Bond and the intensity around that. "It is strange, it’s not normal," he told Esquire. "How I navigate it is very much about what is useful, what serves me in my job, in being able to deliver what I need to deliver to an audience, and a lot of that is just grounding," the Bridgerton alum said.

The rumor started after it was known he wouldn't return to the Netflix Regency show in 2020. Michael Fassbender revealed he auditioned for the role before it went to Craig. He wanted to see Craig in it more than himself. Fassbender revealed his pick for the next star.

"Well, I think Regé could be a frontrunner after this, to be honest," he told Us Weekly. "I think he’s fantastic. He’s got all the attributes. So let’s wait and see."

Page was in action movies like The Gray Man, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Black Bag. Two of those movies revolved around spies. He's back to playing a romantic lead in You, Me, and Tuscany opposite Halle Bailey.

Prime Video bought creative rights to James Bond, according to Collider. Bait is a comedy show starring Riz Ahmed, who is an actor rumored to play the iconic role. There is no word yet on when we can expect a new movie.

After days of speculation, Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula confirmed that their friendship has progressed into a romantic relationship.

Batula and Wilson made a joint post on Instagram addressing the crescendo of chatter:

"We've seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it."

"We've shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what's developed recently was the last thing either of us expected," they continued. "Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."

"As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this."

Caught in the middle are Ciara Miller, who was seemingly rekindling her romance with Wilson, and Kyle Cooke, Batula's estranged husband. Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January before the new Summer House season began. When asked about the rumors during his appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cooke said, “It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless,” he said. “I think Ciara would probably have something to say.” Miller is no longer following Wilson or Batula on Instagram.

Adding to the confusion in the latest round of rumors are Wilson's remarks about them dating that started brewing in early March. Wilson appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and addressed rumors that he and Batula might be together. "She's single now, and I gotta show her the streets a little bit," he said, insisting they were not a couple. "If it's not clear, that's a very important person to me, and I care about her a lot. That's a friend. Hope that's clear."

For her part, Batula said on the Trading Secrets podcast she had no interest in dating anyone from Summer House. "I’m not touching any of my cast members. Love them dearly, but I’m good," she said only three weeks ago.

The story continues to unfold...

Summer House is on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Getting fed up with all of the extra fees most airlines are charging these days? So are three women who recently got into with a Frontier Airlines gate clerk. But, instead of handing over the extra money to get their carry-on luggage on board, the airline alleges that the ladies rushed onto the plane without paying, causing quite a tense scene for the passengers already on board.

Not only that, but it sounds like the women could be facing some pretty serious charges now, including one woman who stands accused of assault. Here's what happened.

Frontier Airlines Accuses 3 Women of Refusing to Pay for Their Bags

A quiet Sunday sounds like it turned fraught for one Frontier Airline's employee who says that three women tried to board a flight bound for Philadelphia at Miami International Airport. According to People magazine, Nafisa Dockery, Davana Cochran, and Dionjana Cochran stand accused of arguing with an employee who noticed that the ladies had two carry-on bags with them, despite only paying for one. When the employee says he asked them to pay for the additional bag, a "verbal altercation" took place, where the employee says they informed the ladies they would be removed from the flight if they didn't cough up the cash.

However, the Frontier agent says the women weren't interested in listening, and says that Nafisa told her two companions, “We don’t have to listen, let’s just go,” before pushing past and boarding the flight. The airline's agents than called the police, who boarded the plane to remove the women. But, when they "refused to comply," as per the police report reviewed by People magazine, the rest of the passengers were instead evacuated so the women could be forcibly removed, which resulted in a brief struggle.

The Travelers Now Face Legal Charges

People notes that the flight was delayed for more than an hour as a result of the incident, which ultimately saw the women charged with a slew of charges that include:

• Resisting an officer without violence to his person
• Trespassing on property/after a warning
• Battery

Unfortunately for the women, a clip of the arrest seems to have gone viral on Instagram, which shows the ladies being removed from the Miami airport in handcuffs, where one person commented that this was a good way to "get on the no flight list."

Frontier's Carry-on Fees Aren't That High

While there may be more to the story that we don't know about yet, it is worth noting that Frontier, like many airlines, does allow passengers to bring one free personal item and then charges a nominal fee for a carryon sized "24"H X 16"W X 10"D and < 35 lbs including handles, wheels, and straps."

Unfortunately for these ladies, the legal fees associated with the incident, combined with the loss of their flights, is likely to amount to a whole lot more than they would've paid if they had just handed over payment for the bags.

If you’ve booked a flight recently and felt sticker shock at the checkout page, you’re not alone. In late March 2026, JetBlue Airways became the first major U.S. carrier to raise its checked baggage fees, per CNBC, citing the sharp rise in fuel and operating costs. The changes are subtle on the surface but for frequent flyers and families, these bumps can add up fast. As airlines grapple with expensive jet fuel and cost pressures from global oil markets, travelers are starting to feel the impact in unexpected ways.

“As we experience rising operating costs, we regularly evaluate how to manage those costs while keeping base fares competitive and continuing to invest in the experience our customers value.” says a JetBlue spokesperson on why the airline raised checked baggage fees.

For anyone planning a vacation, weekend getaway, or long‑haul flight, understanding how baggage and flight pricing is evolving can make the difference between a surprisingly affordable trip and one that strains your budget before you’ve even packed your suitcase.

Be the first to know about new travel trends, tips, and tales—subscribe now.

Why Checked Baggage Fees Are Rising Across Airlines

Airlines make money in two broad ways: the base fare you pay at booking, and what the industry calls “ancillary revenue,” which is everything from seat selection to onboard meals and baggage fees. Checked baggage alone has become a major profit center, with U.S. carriers earning billions in recent years from fees passengers pay on top of their ticket price.

Jet fuel prices have climbed sharply amid global geopolitical tensions and disruptions to oil supply lines. Fuel can account for as much as 25 to 30 percent of airline operating expenses, and sudden spikes in jet fuel costs put pressure on profitability.

Unlike raising base fares, which directly affects how expensive a seat appears, bag fee increases are a way for airlines to manage costs without scaring off price‑sensitive customers at the initial booking moment. Many travelers won’t balk at a slightly higher baggage fee, especially if they are focused on securing a flight at their preferred time or route.

Baggage Fee Comparison: Who’s Charging What in 2026

JetBlue economy passengers on domestic, Caribbean, and Latin American routes will see a price hike for their first checked bag. During off-peak periods, the fee is rising from $35 to $39. For peak travel dates—including major holidays and most of the summer—the rate will jump from $40 to $49.

Waiting until the last minute will cost you. Travelers will pay a $10 surcharge for bags checked within 24 hours of departure. This aligns with the recent industry trend of offering discounted rates to passengers who prepay for luggage online.

Here’s a snapshot of typical checked baggage fees for U.S. travelers outside of JetBlue (keep in mind these change frequently and may vary by route or fare class):

Checked Baggage Fees and Typical Ranges for Domestic U.S. Flights (2026)

• American Airlines: Around $35 online or $40 at the airport for the first bag.
• Spirit Airlines: Often charges around $30–$50 for the first checked bag if bought at booking, dynamic pricing can make this higher.
• Legacy airlines (Delta, United): Similar fee ranges of roughly $30–$40 for a first checked bag at purchase.

This snapshot shows that travelers now pay not just for the flight, but increasingly for what happens after booking, from seat choices to how many bags you bring. That dynamic pricing reflects how airlines have shifted strategy over the past two decades to rely more on ancillary revenues to stay profitable.

One useful tip from pricing experts is to book checked bags at the time of purchase rather than at the airport. Fees are often significantly higher when added later or at the terminal.

1. Always do the math on total trip cost: It’s tempting to book the lowest base fare, only to find that by the time baggage, seat fees, and taxes are added, the cheapest flight isn’t so cheap. Using fare comparison tools that total all costs can save money and frustration.

2. Loyalty and credit cards still provide value: Some airline credit cards still waive the first checked bag for cardholders. Depending on how often you fly, that perk alone can offset the annual cost of a travel card, especially with fees creeping higher.

3. Plan ahead to avoid peak pricing: Airlines like JetBlue use “peak pricing” for baggage during spring break, holiday travel, and summer seasons. Booking early and prepaying for luggage can avoid the steepest charges.

4. Pack strategically: Travelers willing to travel light or use carry‑ons can sidestep these fees entirely, but policies on carry‑on sizes and fees vary by carrier. Always check baggage policy charts before booking to ensure your packing plan aligns with the airline’s rules.

What This Means for Flight Costs and Travel Budgets

The broader trend here offers a useful lesson for any traveler: the base fare is no longer the final price. Ancillary fees have become part of the core pricing experience. While rising fuel costs drive some of these changes, the trend toward unbundling services has been building for years as airlines look for flexible ways to manage margins while keeping headline fares attractive.

For travelers, that means budgeting a bit differently. The days when a ticket price told you almost everything you needed to know are gone. Today, savvy travelers compare both fare and baggage costs together before clicking buy. In my own recent trips, I’ve found that sometimes a slightly more expensive base fare that includes a checked bag ends up cheaper overall than the lowest‑fare option plus multiple fees.

Some musicals instantly land with a splash when they first debut on Broadway, delighting critics and casual audience members alike with its electric dance number, winning scores and often arresting main narrative storylines.

While today it's considered a classic of American theater, Rodgers and Hammerstein's immortal masterpiece Oklahoma! was hardly a success when it first premiered in New York's premier theater district.

In fact, according to early reviews at the time, the hit musical was seen by many as a guaranteed flop in the making.

While it eventually won favorable renown upon its official opening date on March 31, 1943, the earliest iterations of Oklahoma! were far from complimentary.

According to Musicals101, not even Oklahoma!'s original producers seemed all that keen on the overall execution of the show.

At the time, the production was shown under its original title of Away We Go in New Haven, Connecticut, leading to predominantly poor reviews from attendees. Columnist Walter Winchell quoted his secretary dismissive's response with the oft-quoted critique, "No gags, no girls, no chance."

Fortunately, Rodgers and Hammerstein wound up reworking the piece until they were properly satisfied. The resulting musical, now titled Oklahoma!, opened on March 31, 1943 at New York's St. James Theatre.

Despite having no prominent stars in the show's cast list, the production nevertheless earned a positive appraisal from audience members, with many quickly won over by the show's riotous song and dance numbers.

"They were roaring. They were howling. People hadn't seen boys and girls dance like this in so long," Agnes DeMille would recall in Max Wilk's OK: The Story of Oklahoma! "Of course, they had been dancing like this, but just not where the audience could see them!"

Following this successful second act, Oklahoma! would play for five more years on Broadway, concluding its original run in 1948. In the decades since, it's become a hallmark of the Broadway musical scene, leading to several acclaimed revivals starring numerous recognizable actors and actresses.
