NASA Wallops Flight Facility is preparing for yet another rocket launch, happening this Tuesday! They will be launching an Antares Rocket, set to resupply the International Space Station. We get all the out-of-this-world details from Specialist with NASA Wallops Office of Communications, Keith Koehler.

A first of its’ kind event in Ocean City – The “Semper Fi” Charity Boardwalk Beach Cruise. Rooted in patriotism and one that’s going to benefit causes, we know, are near and dear to your heart, this event is going to be a blast. 102-5 WBOC’s Corey Phoebus gets all the details.

We always like to start Pet Connect off with a story that makes you feel good. Well, we have a great one! In last weeks Pet Connect, we met Blink. Blink was rescued (along with 181 other cats!) from a suspected animal cruelty case. A sweet girl with a big personality. Here’s our great news: she was adopted! Now, if you’re looking to fulfill a dream – just like Blink’s – we have plenty of sweet faces patiently waiting. Check out all the cuties in today’s Pet Connect.

It was back in February of 2019 when Matthew Bennett Davey was last on the Mid-South Audio Stage. He was rocking out with the Baba Roots. The band’s kept busy over the past year – with Matt now in The MBD Band. He’s just released his debut album. We find out what to expect and how he’s on a mission to push “original music art.” Oh, and he’s performing for us.

Friday Flashback to…well…yesterday. Lisa and Jimmy reuniting, temporarily, after six months of not seeing each other. It’s certainly a moment that did the heart some good. So perfect, so sweet – and good news, there were so many other moments, just like it, this week. We check them out in today’s, “All That is Good.”

Rice isn’t only good as a side dish. It’s a main ingredient for this decadent dessert. Baked Custard Rice Pudding is traditional and tasty. Enjoy hot or chilled – either way it’s delicious. Check out the recipe below:

What You’ll Need

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
3 cups half-and-half
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1-1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well combined. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Pour into casserole dish and bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until top is golden. (Pudding will be loose.) Serve warm, or cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
