Sunday 9/14/25
Celebrate:
9x13 Day - I could not easily find the reason this is a standard pan.
Go make a cake, casserole, or whatever you do in yours and enjoy!
This actually appeared in a Southern Living article.
There is no significant difference between a 13- by 9-inch cake pan and a 9- by 13-inch cake pan. They are the same thing.
Really..thanks for that information.
It should have a volume of about 14 cups.

The Emmys are this Sunday, and host Nate Bargatze has a great idea to keep acceptance speeches short. In case you didn't know, every winner gets 45 seconds to give their thank-yous.
So after the show, Nate will be donating $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Club. BUT he'll take away $1,000 for every second that winners go over their allotted time.
If someone goes UNDER the 45-second mark, he will add $1,000. So Nate's donation could very well be more than $100,000.
He says kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs will be there to judge any winners who take away their funding. Quote, "They're gonna come out. You're gonna have to look them in the face. It's real, real."
He adds, quote, "I know people work hard for the Emmys and stuff. So I feel bad, but that's [the plan]."

Thursday was National Make Your Bed Day, which is something around 40% of us do every day
If you don't make your bed every day, you should as there are some benefits.
#1. Happiness. One study found that 62% of non-bed makers admit that they are unhappy in their lives, while 71% of bed makers say they're happy.
#2. Sleep. According to a National Sleep Foundation survey, a made bed contributes to healthier sleep habits and better rest. Anecdotally, some people say a made bed feels more "inviting" when they're ready to sleep.
#3. Turn-On. In one poll, 42% of bed-makers say it would be a "turn-off" if a potential partner left the sheets untucked.
#4. Sex. Non-bed makers enjoy some "play time" under the sheets twice a week. But bed makers enjoy bedroom fun three times per week on average.

2. Chick-Fil-A (if you can stand the hate)
3. Bonchon
4. Jollibee
5. Raising Cane's
6. Popeyes
7. Slim Chickens
8. Bojangles
9. Buffalo Wild Wings
10. Wingstop
11. Zaxbys
12. Culver's
13. Church's Texas Chicken (After reading customer opinions on the chicken eatery, we are sure some people are wondering how it continues to operate.)
14. Pollo Campero
I don't see Curly's on the list......

Speaking of KFC, they have announced an official line of JELLY BEANS that taste like stuff on their menu . . . because herbs, spices, and CANDY go hand in hand.
Each bag comes with three flavors: Fried Chicken, Sweet Corn, and Gravy.
If that somehow sounds good, you'll have to wait a little while to try them. They're releasing them early next year ahead of Easter.

TikTok creator J’Amore went viral after delivering a playful personality roast based on women’s favorite ice cream brands. He toured the frozen food aisle, pointing out brands like Häagen-Daz, Breyers, and Bluebell, and explained the type of girl who eats each one.
According to J’Amore, Ben & Jerry’s girlies are stoners, Bluebell girlies are Southern, and if she eats Talenti, “she’s never seen struggle a day in her life.”
Interesting to note, all women said he is undateable.
