BREAD AND WINE

September 23, 2025 by Clare Duffy

Taylor Swift mentioned on the ‘New Heights’ podcast that she’s working on a Funfetti Sourdough recipe for Jason Kelce’s kids. Clare believes she found a recipe similar to what Taylor’s going for.

It’s pretty bread! Very sweet. You definitely wouldn’t make a turkey and cheese sandwich, but maybe a pb&j?

Avril Lavigne really likes wine. She partnered with a California Winery called Banshee and released her very own pinot noir called, “Complicated.”

It’s fantastic! Very fruit-forward. Clean finish and no aftertaste. Delicious ‘Peanut Norr’ as Clare calls it.

CEREAL TOWN, USA

Let’s show the world Cedar Rapids is Cereal Town, USA!

The band was just as excited for the cereal world record attempt as The Morning Scramble was.

CHOCOLATE MILK AND CEREAL

September 16, 2025 by Clare Duffy

Whoa! That’s a HUGE spoon. Thanks a lot Producer Ben!

We tried three different cereals with chocolate milk: A cookies and cream flavored Wednesday cereal, Raisin Bran, and Crunch Berries cereal.

No surprise–chocolate cereal with chocolate milk is AMAZING!

Clare like Raisin Bran with chocolate milk, but Eric did not. Both were shocked that Crunch Berries cereal completely overpowers the chocolate in the milk. You don’t even notice the milk with the flavor power of the Cap’n!

Next up: According to science, you can enhance your chocolate eating experience by listening to the perfect song.

The song, “Sweetest Melody” is supposed to make chocolate taste better, but this super dark chocolate just tasted bitter.

Clare celebrated birthdays for 2 nephews who are super into dressing up—firefighters, police, ninjas. But the best costume was from grandma: a shepherd costume complete with beard.

Dancin’ Eric Hanson was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time Saturday and got to take a pic with Gwendolyn… the Kid Captain!!

Is a selfie with a marching band a “bandie?”

Good luck, Director Hanson!!
