KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Taylor Swift once raved about the sweet potato casserole served at a New York City restaurant and now that recipe pops up every now and again at Thanksgiving. The holidays encourage many of us to try new recipes. Social media right now is flooded with recipes for appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Anyone making that cornbread casserole from TikTok? While we might not get to share a Thanksgiving feast with Swift — is your name Blake Lively? — or other celebrities beloved by Kansas City, we can eat like them. So here’s the recipe for that casserole Swift loved so much, and favorite family side dish recipes from Donna Kelce and Eric Stonestreet. Enjoy. Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, seen here last year at her son's music festival, dined on a cheesesteak made by actor Bradley Cooper at QVC festivities in Las Vegas this week. (Emily Curiel/Kansas City Star/TNS) If we tried to guess how many holiday dinner rolls Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have scarfed over the years, would it be in the hundreds? Thousands? Their mom has spoken often about the batches of holiday crescent rolls she has baked over the years. Based on the recipe that won the 1969 Pillsbury Bake-Off, Pillsbury’s Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs , they’re now known as Mama Kelce’s Dinner Rolls. They blend the crescent roll pastry with marshmallows, cinnamon and sugar. Dinner roll or dessert? We bet they didn’t last long enough in front of Travis and Jason for that debate. Ingredients Rolls •1/4 cup granulated sugar •2 tablespoons Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon •2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) •16 large marshmallows •1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted Glaze •1/2 cup powdered sugar •1/2 teaspoon vanilla •2-3 teaspoons milk •1/4 cup chopped nuts Directions Make the rolls 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 medium muffin cups with nonstick baking spray. 2. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. 3. Separate the dough into 16 triangles. For each roll, dip 1 marshmallow into melted butter; roll in the sugar mixture. Place marshmallow on the shortest side of a triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side and rolling to opposite point. Completely cover the marshmallow with the dough; firmly pinch edges to seal. Dip 1 end in remaining butter; place butter side down in muffin cup. 4.

(Tammy Ljungblad/Kansas City Star/TNS) Swift gushed about the sweet potato casserole served at Del Frisco’s Grille in New York City, a dish crowned with a crunchy candied pecan and oatmeal crumble. “I’ve never enjoyed anything with the word casserole in it ever before, but it’s basically sweet potatoes with this brown sugary crust,” she told InStyle. ”Oh my God, it’s amazing.” The media rushed to find the recipe, which Parade has published this Thanksgiving season . “Similar to T. Swift herself, we think this recipe is a mastermind, especially if you’ve been asked to bring the sweet potato side dish to this year’s Thanksgiving feast. It seriously begs the question: who needs pumpkin pie?” the magazine writes. Ingredients •4 lbs sweet potatoes •1⁄3 cup oats •12 oz unsalted butter, divided •1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar •1⁄2 cup toasted pecans •1⁄2 cup granulated sugar •1 tsp kosher salt •2 tsp vanilla extract •4 large eggs, beaten Directions Preheat oven to 375°F. 1. Scrub sweet potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork and wrap tightly in foil. Place on a sheet pan. Bake 90 minutes or until tender. Set aside until cool enough to handle. 2. Meanwhile, place oats in a food processor; process 1 minute. Add 4 oz butter, brown sugar and pecans; pulse five times to combine. Spread mixture on a baking sheet; bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, crumble. Bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. 3. Melt remaining 8 oz butter. Remove skin from cooled sweet potatoes. In a large bowl, whisk sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar and remaining ingredients until slightly lumpy. Transfer to a greased baking dish, smoothing surface evenly. Top with oat mixture. Bake 12 minutes or until heated through. Make-ahead tips •Sweet potato filling can be made up to 2 days in advance.

Synthetic data has its limits — why human-sourced data can help prevent AI model collapseFind the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Looking for Sunday’s Connections hints and answers instead? You can find them here: Hey, there! Welcome to the start of what will be a very short week for many of you. It’s just a regular work week for me, except that I’ll probably be writing about a bunch of Black Friday deals in the coming days at my other main gig. For no real reason, I’m going to let you in on a little personal secret. I’ve been using computers since I was a small child, but I never learned to touch type. I did try some touch type training programs, but it never clicked for me. So, instead, I end up looking down at my keyboard a lot. I instinctively know where all the keys are, but I still need that mental reassurance that I’m hitting the correct ones, more or less. This is horribly inefficient and leads to me making many typos (I made four in this sentence alone). But it’s what I’m used to and I’m comfortable with my typing style. My point is, you don’t have to do things exactly the same way as others to get the job done. I hold pens in a weird way too! Anyway! Today’s NYT Connections hints and answers for Monday, November 25, are coming right up. This Viral Smart Bassinet Is 30% Off With The Snoo Black Friday Sale The 50 Best Black Friday Deals So Far, According To Our Deals Editors How To Play Connections Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app. You’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

SEA was also an option, and SCORE felt like the odd one out, so that swap gave me the greens. The yellows then stood out to me on the half-grid, but I submitted the purple group first, just because I could. I would not have stood a chance at figuring that connection out. That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Tuesday’s game if you need them. P.S. I was very happy to see a new Franz Ferdinand video pop up in my YouTube recommendations a few days ago. Such an excellent band. I'm seeing them for perhaps the sixth or seventh time (festivals included) this spring and I'm really looking forward to it. Their shows are always energetic and they’re a whole lot of fun. The song isn't quite as catchy as "Take Me Out," "Michael" or my favorite of theirs "Do You Want To?," but I like it very much all the same: If you’re so inclined, please do follow my blog for more coverage of Connections and other word games and even some video game news, insights and analysis.

Intel claims retailers are facing high return rates for Snapdragon PCs, Qualcomm denies itBarstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy asked MicroStrategy Inc MSTR Chairman Michael Saylor in a recent interview to explain Bitcoin BTC/USD to him in a way that he can understand. This was after Portnoy recently said he sold his Bitcoin after the Winklevoss twins confused him back in 2020. What Happened : When it comes to Bitcoin history and education, Saylor is one of the most popular names and one of the largest holders thanks to the balance sheet strategy of MicroStrategy, the software company he co-founded. "I want to know what I got wrong about Bitcoin," Portnoy asked Saylor during a recent interview. Saylor shared several sports metaphors to help explain Bitcoin and its future to Portnoy. "There's some games you can't play, but can watch," Saylor said. Saylor said there are some games you can't play, like if a team you watch in person wins a bunch, the season tickets might get more expensive. Some games you can play, but they might be rigged like casino games being in favor of the house, Saylor added. "Satoshi created a game that is rigged in favor of the individual. Satoshi gave us a game we can all win. Bitcoin is that game," Saylor said of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. Saylor said with Bitcoin you could be winning the game over time. He then dropped an analogy of playing alongside two of the greatest NBA players of all time. "Wouldn't it be great if you had a basketball team, you had LeBron James, you had Michael Jordan , you had the digital version of them and they play forever. You can get on the court and play with them." Saylor said that James and Jordan might score 100 points and you might score only two, but you're "getting rich together." "Everyone gets to play. You don't just win the game, you get wealthy while you win the game." Read Also : Here’s How Much $100 In Bitcoin Could Be Worth In 2030 If Cathie Wood’s Price Target Is Reached Why It's Important : Portnoy recently said he bought $2 million worth of Bitcoin at $11,000 per coin, before selling the crypto after holding a discussion with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. "I've been chasing it ever since. Dave is sad," Portnoy tweeted recently. Asking Saylor the question and listening to the sports analogies could help Portnoy and others understand the game of cryptocurrency. Saylor has a long-standing strategy of continuing to buy Bitcoin no matter the price. On Monday, it was revealed MicroStrategy purchased 21,550 Bitcoin for $2.1 billion in the first week of December. MicroStrategy now owns 423,650 Bitcoin worth an estimated $42 billion. "We have a simple strategy and our strategy is we just acquire Bitcoin, and we hold the Bitcoin," Saylor told Benzinga in a previous interview. Saylor said investors focus on scarce and desirable investments. "And of course we happen to think that Bitcoin is the highest-quality scarce desirable property." Saylor told Benzinga that Bitcoin is the "highest-quality, best asset in the world" at the time. "Everything else in the world is inferior to Bitcoin. So, if you give me $1 million and said what do you want to buy, I don't want to buy a sports tea, I don't want to buy a building, I don't want to buy a company ... all I want to buy is Bitcoin."

NoneUS stocks rose to records after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2 per cent, just enough top the all-time high set on Wednesday, as it closed a third straight winning week in what looks to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones dipped 123.19 points, or 0.3 per cent, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.8 per cent to set its own record. Wall Street closed third-straight winning week with more gains. Credit: AP The Australian sharemarket is set to retreat, with futures pointing to a fall of 25 points, or 0.3 per cent, at the open. The quiet trading came after the latest jobs report came in mixed enough to strengthen traders’ expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again at its next meeting in two weeks. The report showed US employers hired more workers than expected last month, but it also said the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked up to 4.2 per cent from 4.1 per cent. “This print doesn’t kill the holiday spirit and the Fed remains on track to deliver a cut in December,” according to Lindsay Rosner, head of multi-sector investing within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to offer more help for the slowing job market, after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2 per cent target. Lower interest rates can ease the brakes off the economy, but they can also offer more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts from the Fed have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year. And the Fed is part of a global surge: 62 central banks have lowered rates in the past three months, the most since 2020, according to Michael Hartnett and other strategists at Bank of America. Still, the jobs report may have included some notes of caution for Fed officials underneath the surface. Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, pointed to average wages for workers last month, which were a touch stronger than economists expected. While that’s good news for workers who would always like to make more, it could keep upward pressure on inflation. “This report tells the Fed that they still need to be careful as sticky housing/shelter/wage data shows that it won’t be easy to engineer meaningfully lower inflation from here in the nearer term,” Wren said. So, while traders are betting on an 85 per cent probability the Fed will ease its main rate in two weeks, they’re much less certain about how many more cuts it will deliver next year, according to data from CME Group. For now, the hope is that the job market can help US shoppers continue to spend and keep the US economy out of a recession that had earlier seemed inevitable after the Fed began hiking interest rates swiftly to crush inflation. Several retailers offered encouragement after delivering better-than-expected results for the latest quarter. Ulta Beauty rallied 9 per cent after topping expectations for both profit and revenue. The opening of new stores helped boost its revenue, and it raised the bottom end of its forecasted range for sales over this full year. Lululemon stretched 15.9 per cent higher following its own profit report. It said stronger sales outside the United States helped it in particular, and its earnings topped analysts’ expectations. Retailers overall have been offering mixed signals on how resilient US shoppers can remain amid the slowing job market and still-high prices. Target gave a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season, for example, while Walmart gave a much more encouraging outlook. A report on Friday suggested sentiment among US consumers may be improving more than economists expected. The preliminary reading from the University of Michigan’s survey hit its highest level in seven months. The survey found a surge in buying for some products as consumers tried to get ahead of possible increases in price due to higher tariffs that President-elect Donald Trump has threatened. In tech, Hewlett Packard Enterprise jumped 10.6 per cent for one of the S&P 500’s larger gains after reporting stronger profit and revenue than expected. Tech stocks were some of the market’s strongest this week, as Salesforce and other big companies talked up how much of a boost they’re getting from the artificial-intelligence boom. All told, the S&P 500 rose 15.16 points to 6,090.27. The Dow dipped 123.19 to 44,642.52, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 159.05 to 19,859.77. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.15 per cent from 4.18 per cent late Thursday. In stock markets abroad, France’s CAC 40 rose 1.3 per cent after French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to stay in office until the end of his term and to name a new prime minister within days. Earlier this week, far-right and left-wing lawmakers approved a no-confidence motion due to budget disputes, forcing Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet to resign. In Asia, stock indexes were mixed. They rallied 1.6 per cent in Hong Kong and 1 per cent in Shanghai ahead of an annual economic policy meeting scheduled for next week. South Korea’s Kospi dropped 0.6 per cent as South Korea’s ruling party chief showed support for suspending the constitutional powers of President Yoon Suk Yeol after he declared martial law and then revoked that earlier this week. Yoon is facing calls to resign and may be impeached. Bitcoin was sitting near $US101,500 after briefly bursting above $US103,000 to a record the day before.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had been enjoying a lot of hype for his play this season. He hadn't faced pressure like he has today against the Seattle Seahawks , though. Murray just came up pure cheeks in a high-leverage situation in the third quarter. It started with an incredible effort play by cornerback Devon Witherspoon , who peeled off his man and then pressured Murray all the way to the sideline. In a panic, Murray threw the ball in the general direction of Seattle's end zone. Coby Bryant did the rest. Watch. Kyler Murray throws pick-6 to Coby Bryant HOUSE CALL FOR COBY 🎱 pic.twitter.com/hiQNjq1uzw That's a huge swing play, resulting in a 10-point lead for Seattle after Jason Myers missed the extra point attempt. From a broader perspective, the home crowd is louder than it's been in a long time for a big game and the Seahawks defense looks like it's finally respectable again.
