Corn: A Southern Table Staple
SUMMARY: Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and chocolate are among the foods European explorers introduced from the Americas, enriching European cuisine dramatically post-1492. Notably, Native Americans relied on the “Three Sisters”—corn, beans, and squash—integral to their agriculture and diet, as these plants thrive together. The author expresses a fondness for corn, reminiscing about delicious dishes like Mexican street corn and stuffed potatoes. Beans play a vital role in Southern diets, often enjoyed fresh or cooked in ham stock. The allure of ripe summer tomatoes inspires nostalgia for classic tomato sandwiches, highlighting corn, beans, and tomatoes as staples in Southern cuisine.

SUMMARY: The author humorously describes their struggle with love bugs on their back porch, comparing their abundance to flies in a dairy barn. After sweeping, they perform a makeshift study, counting a few piles and calculating that they’ve swept over 1,100 love bugs. These insects have been prevalent in Florida since 1965 and are found along the Gulf Coast. Each female lays around 300 eggs, leading to high populations. Love bugs are known for flying while mating and sticking to people, causing a nuisance. The author anticipates more love bugs to clear, estimating at least 2,370 still lingering.

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.
