Cherry Creek Orchards’ Peach Festival
SUMMARY: Last Saturday, my husband eagerly suggested visiting Cherry Creek Orchards in Pontotoc, Mississippi, for fresh peaches. Despite not knowing what prompted his idea, I quickly agreed. Cherry Creek Orchards is famous among North Mississippi locals for its fresh, seasonal produce like peaches, plums, and tomatoes. During our visit, my husband humorously insisted on buying a large box of peaches, which he bit into before even leaving the parking lot. This Saturday, Cherry Creek Orchards will host Peach Festival ’24, featuring orchard tours, food trucks, crafts, kids’ activities, and live music. It’s a perfect day to enjoy Mississippi’s finest peaches.

SUMMARY: The author expresses a love for fried pork chops, favoring thin, bone-in cuts for an authentic Southern meal. After discovering thick cuts at Rouses that were unsuitable for frying, they decided to smoke the pork chops using hickory wood from a fallen tree. Properly seasoning the chops with Tony’s and Greek seasoning, they allowed the meat to reach room temperature before grilling. The author relies on touch to gauge doneness rather than a thermometer. Smoked chops pair well with David Chang’s Momofuku ramen and various sides, making them a versatile and delicious option for dinner.

SUMMARY: Observing Brown Pelicans flying in formation is captivating, especially when they align in V-shaped patterns. This fascination deepened in the mid-90s when a friend, Jerry Porche, mischievously questioned why pelicans fly in odd-numbered flocks. This sparked a years-long quest for the author to count the birds, though they eventually spotted a flock of two, leading to Jerry’s witty remark about a ‘late third bird.’ Reflecting on this experience, the author realizes Jerry’s question ignited curiosity about nature, highlighting how friendships can inspire passions. Now, encountering two-pelican flocks evokes laughter and fond memories of Jerry, reminding us to appreciate shared wonders.
