Pork Chops, Anyone? | Our Mississippi Home
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.

Pelicans Fly in Odd-Numbered Flocks โ Right?
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.
