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 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.
