Every Thanksgiving, my dad makes a lot of food. The entire Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal of the year, yet there is one dish that stands out to me: his sweet potato pie. I know that might sound basic, but his is so good and has a bit of a sweet twist. I also love helping him make it every year. This pie is soft and sweet, but the perfect side course for a typical Thanksgiving meal. Enjoy!

Directed by former CRLS drama teacher Michael Lopez, this year’s fall musical "Honk!" follows the classic story of "The Ugly Duckling," originally written by Hans Christian Andersen. The main character, Ugly, gets separated from his family, and the story follows his journey to reunite with his family his mother, Ida, searches to find him. During his separation, Ugly has all sorts of wonderful adventures along the way, from a military mission with British geese to a self-confidence lesson from a bullfrog.

Of all the great rockstars of the past, I couldn’t dream of anyone with a larger personality than Freddie Mercury. Often slated as the greatest frontman to any band (a statement I'd agree with), Mercury very much outshone his competition with his distinct wardrobe, spontaneous physicality, and iconic teeth. However, this came at a cost with him resembling a candle burning at both ends. But, as he puts it, “The light is so divine.” Bohemian Rhapsody knows it doesn’t take the silver screen to make Mr. Fahrenheit larger than life, but in no way does it shrink him.

Chicago rapper Noname, two years since her debut,Telefone, is back with a gem in Room 25. An intimate and jazzy work, this album is sure to light up any listener’s downtime. Noname’s cutting, spoken-word style lyricism is a breath of fresh air and originality in today’s rap landscape. The album spans eleven tracks and is just over a half-hour in duration, but its fully-developed musical ideas provide the satisfaction of a longer project.
