All About Mayo | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Mayonnaise, a classic sauce, has debated origins, with France and Spain both claiming its invention. Introduced to the U.S. in the 19th century as a fine-dining sauce, it became widely popular thanks to Richard Hellman, whose house-made mayo led to the creation of the still-famous Hellman’s brand. Mayo often divides opinions, with strong reactions rooted in its texture. It is easy to make using one egg, quality oil, and an immersion blender. Substituting olive oil and garlic creates aioli, a versatile dip. Duke’s and Kewpie are among the top commercial options, but exploring different brands is encouraged.

SUMMARY: As 2025 approaches, Mississippians prepare to celebrate with unique traditions. One popular custom is enjoying “Hoppin John,” a meal of black-eyed peas, rice, cornbread, and greens thought to bring good luck. Fireworks are a key part of the festivities, with stands setting up before Christmas. Staying up until midnight is taken seriously, often accompanied by gatherings with friends and family. Many also participate in Watch Night church services, sharing testimonies and enjoying treats afterward. Communities host various New Year’s events, allowing locals to socialize and celebrate, greeting the new year with reflection and joy.

SUMMARY: New Year’s Day in the South often includes traditional dishes like cornbread, black-eyed peas, and collard greens, symbolizing luck and prosperity. As a child, the author didn’t appreciate the meal, but later came to cherish it. One year, away from home, the author couldn’t find the ingredients for the meal and created a New Year’s Day Stew using canned black-eyed peas, greens like kale, and a flavorful smoky seasoning. The peas and greens are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and vitamins, contributing to a healthy diet. The recipe can be made on the stove or in a slow cooker.

SUMMARY: As the year comes to a close, it’s common to feel a blend of confusion during the days between Christmas and New Year. To navigate this period, consider five productive actions: 1) Reflect on the past year to evaluate successes and areas for improvement. 2) Set unique personal and professional goals for the upcoming year. 3) Engage in deep cleaning, donating unused items. 4) Clear electronic clutter by managing emails and apps. 5) Schedule appointments for health and wellness in advance. These steps can bring clarity and stability in transitioning into the new year, ensuring a fulfilling start to 2025.
