Weekend Watch: Waitress serves fresh pie, Father's Day Soccer
AUSTIN (KXAN) – Father's Day weekend has arrived, and with a few rainy days behind us, it's time to get outdoors and enjoy the town. Prefer indoor fun? A Musical playing in Austin could be a good choice!
The bulk of the rain will be left behind as conditions clear up, allowing us a chance to get outside. Temperatures will also creep back up into the mid-90s, with less cloud coverage and fewer showers in our future.
Take a deep breath of pecan pie and immerse yourself in Waitress: The Musical. (My favorite musical. -Freddy) The story of a small town pie maker working at a restaurant in a loveless marriage finds out she is pregnant from her abusive husband.
With music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles, the show runs from June 11 through July 13 with a special ASL show on Saturday, June 21. This show will be in their Zach360 Stage, which gives the audience an on-stage experience that you can't miss. For more information, be sure to visit their website.
All weekend long, the Round Rock Express will be taking on the El Paso Chihuahuas. Each night, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will hold a different game night for the entire family to enjoy. Friday is Harry Potter Night, where you can purchase specialized caps, meet Dobby the Elf, and even attend a potions class. Saturday is their Saturday at the Ballpark event with an Express Soccer Jersey Giveaway. On Sunday is Kids Day and Father's Day Catch on the Field. Join the team from 5-5:30 p.m. and bring your glove and ball for a pregame catch on the field. For more information on each of these events or for tickets, be sure to visit their website.

45 Cute Father's Day Questions to Ask Your Dad and Your Kids
45 Cute Father's Day Questions to Ask Your Dad and Your Kids originally appeared on Parade. When you think about it, dads are like real-life superheroes. They may not have superhuman strength, be able to soar through the clouds, or read your mind, but they do possess superpowers. Dads have a way of lifting up their children when they are sad like nobody else can. They can fly into action when someone they love needs protection and they can know what their family members desire without having to like most superheroes, dads can sometimes appear to be wearing a mask.

Lauren Alaina welcomes baby girl and releases emotional new song
Beni Doll Arnold was born on June 11, 2025. 3:28 Country singer Lauren Alaina has a new reason to sing and celebrate. The artist announced the birth of her first child, a daughter named Beni Doll Arnold, born on June 11, 2025. Alaina shared the news in an Instagram post on Friday, writing: "Beni Doll Arnold 6.11.25. 7 lbs 13 oz. 19 inches long." Alongside the birth announcement, she offered a heartfelt caption about the life-changing moment she first held her baby girl: "Parts of my heart that I didn't even know existed were unlocked at 8:44 am when they laid you on my belly for the first time. I will never be the same." Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, whom she married earlier this year, are overjoyed by the arrival of their daughter. "We are honored God chose us to be your parents," she added. "You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection." In a special tribute to her newborn and late father, the singer also surprised fans by releasing a brand-new song titled "Heaven Sent." Alaina explained the song was inspired by the emotional journey of learning she was pregnant shortly after the loss of her dad. "I wasn't sure when I would share 'Heaven Sent,' but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now," she wrote. Beni's birth just days before Father's Day adds deeper meaning to the release. "It's my first without my own father. A day that will forever be hard to me, but I now have a new and perfect reason to celebrate it. Beni's daddy. My sweet and steady husband."

Dive Into Butter Swim Biscuits
Father's Day is tomorrow, as all the emails in your inbox have alerted you to. I don't presume to know what your dad likes, but I do know that a freshly baked biscuit is always a treat. Especially a biscuit that has the words 'butter swim' in front of it. I'll let Naz Deravian describe her recipe: 'The batter is combined in one bowl and then spread over melted butter, giving the impression of a batter swimming in butter, as the name suggests. While the biscuits bake, they absorb all the buttery goodness and crisp up around the edges.' You can watch a video of Naz's biscuits in butter-swimming action here, and find more Father's Day cooking ideas here. (To go on your biscuits: strawberry jam, raspberry jam, plum-ginger jam, fig-rosemary jam, lemon curd. Oh, and pimento cheese.) Featured Recipe View Recipe → Chicken jorim (soy-braised chicken): Eric Kim adapted a classic Korean beef braise for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, keeping the same deeply savory results. Definitely serve with rice to soak up all that sauce. Roasted fish with romesco salsa: You can leave the food processor in the cabinet. Lidey Heuck has you roughly chop the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs instead of blending them in this simple but excellent dinner. Curried red bean soup with kale: This is, as Zaynab Issa writes, a minestrone-esque riff on rajma and maharage nu shaak, two red kidney bean curries with spiced, aromatic gravies (rajma is Hindi for kidney beans, and maharage is Swahili for beans). It's exactly what I'd want to revive me on a rainy summer Sunday when I'm feeling blah. Italian dressing: Make a batch of Dan Pelosi's tangy, garlicky dressing this weekend, then drizzle it over salads, roasted vegetables, pasta, sandwiches and grain bowls all week. Texas sheet cake: I'm not from Texas, so I'll leave it to the Texan commenters in the recipe notes to debate pecans vs. other nuts, cinnamon vs. no cinnamon. I can say, however, that this is a Genevieve Ko recipe, so you know it's really delicious. There's precisely one thing that will keep me from dining outdoors, and that's mosquitoes. If you, like me, seem to be an all-you-can-bite buffet for those terrible creatures, you'll want to give a listen to this recent episode of The Wirecutter Show that breaks down which bug repellents work, which don't, and why. Thanks for reading!
