Chicken Pho: “A Steaming Bowl of Goodness”
SUMMARY: The author praises chicken soup, attributing its health benefits to its nutritional value and personal experience. They suggest making it at home using chicken, water, and sautéed veggies, though noting canned soup as a lesser alternative. They recommend trying pho from Vietnamese restaurants, especially chicken pho, which they find even more delicious and nutritious. A visit to Vung Tau in Biloxi revealed a substantial and flavorful chicken pho, filled with chicken breast, noodles, bean sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, jalapenos, and condiments. The author recommends ordering just the broth when feeling unwell, as it lasts longer and retains its efficacy.

Sea Oats – The Ultimate Dune Plant
SUMMARY: A ride along Highway 90 in coastal Mississippi offers beautiful views of the Mississippi Sound, now enhanced by Sea Oats—a crucial dune plant adapted to harsh sandy and windy environments. Originally absent from mainland beaches, Sea Oats have stabilized artificially constructed dunes over the past 20 years, preventing sand drift onto roadways. These hardy grasses, with extensive root systems, thrive in sandy soils and tolerate limited saltwater exposure. Their stunning golden seed heads emerge in late summer but are illegal to harvest in many states due to their ecological importance. Sea Oats contribute both beauty and functionality to the region’s landscapes.
