Bologna or Baloney? The History of Bologna, and Some Favorite Recipes
SUMMARY: Bologna, Italy, is renowned for its mortadella, a sausage dating back to the first century. Italian immigrants brought the recipe to America, leading to the modern term “bologna,” which is commonly used for sandwich meat. The author recalls a culture shock after moving to Houston, Mississippi, where fried bologna was a staple in school lunches. Recently, the author enjoyed a fried bologna club sandwich at a Biloxi restaurant and shares tips for making a delicious fried bologna meal, recommending thick-cut mortadella for frying and various serving suggestions, including salads and pasta dishes.

SUMMARY: Lucedale gained attention last week when the reality show “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” aired an episode featuring a wedding at Anderson Oaks Venue. Filmed in mid-February, the episode showcased the marriage of Jaime Daughdrill, Whitney Way Thore’s newly discovered niece. Venue owner Melissa Anderson initially thought a producer’s inquiry was a scam but found it was a legitimate opportunity. The episode focuses on Whitney’s emotional journey and family dynamics, including the reunion with her long-lost sister, Angie. The wedding scene highlighted the venue’s charm while presenting Whitney’s comedic quest to ensure her father made the family photo on time.

SUMMARY: The phrase “when the wolf is at the door,” popularized by M.F.K. Fisher, refers to times of financial struggle when resources are scarce. During such periods, frugal cooking becomes essential, with dishes like red beans and rice showcasing how to stretch ingredients. A simple recipe involves sautéing vegetables and sausage, adding beans and stock, then simmering. Other budget-friendly options include a marinara sauce with pasta, made with sautéed onions, garlic, and quality tomatoes, simmered together. Eggs also serve as a versatile and inexpensive meal option, whether scrambled or poached. Creativity with available ingredients can yield satisfying meals.

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.
