???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

If you’re a fan of Back to The Future (or have 13 Going on 30 nostalgia), The Adam Project is definitely for you: The big-hearted, family-friendly sci-fi movie — starring Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner — follows time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed in 2050, who accidentally crash-lands in 2022 instead of 2018, where he was originally aiming to land on a rescue mission. The accidental landing by Reed four years earlier pushes him to team up with his 12-year-old self, who is battling the loss of his father Louis, to save the future.

More football to keep us occupied pre-iftar and post-iftar: Al Ahly looks to seal its qualification for the African Champions League quarter final in its clash with Sudan’s Al-Hilal at 10pm tonight. Raja Casablanca will also play against ES Sétif at 11pm.

In the CAF Confederation Cup, Pyramids will play against Zanaco at 10pm after securing qualification to the quarter finals. Now on the field: Al Masry is playing against DR Congo’s TP Mazembe, hoping to finish at the top of its group despite qualifying earlier.

Moving to the UK, West Ham United is currently playing against Everton, while Tottenham Hotspur will clash against Newcastle United at 5:30pm.

We have five games in La Liga today, as we await the final whistle for the game between Athletic Club and Elche. Later in the afternoon, Real Betis will play against Osasuna at 4:15pm, with two games: Granada v Rayo Vallecano and Valencia v Cadiz at 6:30pm. Tonight, Barcelona will play against Sevilla at 9pm.

Serie A has five games, too, with Fiorentina v Empoli wrapping up just before we hit “send” today, with Fiorentina coming out on top with 1-0. Atalanta v Napoli and Udinese v Cagliari are also currently on the field as we dispatch. Tonight, all eyes will be on Sampdoria v Roma at 6pm, and Juventus v Inter at 8:45pm.

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

It’s Ramadan and you know what that means: The month of desserts. Every year, we know to expect “new creations,” giving us new-age twists on classic dishes (even though we feel that a basic basbousa or konafa takes the crown). Voilà caters to both the traditionalists and the experimentalist foodies, with classic Om Ali, basbousa, aish saraya, and konafa, along with innovative twists such as a pina colada Turkish basbousa, or the pistachio baklava rolls. Their latest creation that had us salivating: Vanilla and crème brûlée konafa with fruits and fresh cream. This delicacy hit every note: The crunch of the konafa, with the freshness of the fruits, and cream and the sweetness of the crème brûlée.
