Delicious DIY Crab Cakes | Our Mississippi Home

SUMMARY: The author, a fan of Desporte’s Seafood shop, shares their love for crab, particularly well-made crab cakes. They emphasize using minimal breadcrumbs and proper seasoning while preparing crab cakes, which are made with lump crab meat, egg, mayo, and fresh herbs. The cakes should be fried in butter for optimal flavor. For an alternative, the author recommends crispy fried shrimp, suggesting a Vietnamese frying method that involves tempura powder and panko breadcrumbs, emphasizing proper oil temperature and serving immediately for the best taste. The piece highlights the joy of fresh seafood and the ease of making delicious dishes at home.

Food Chain Drama | Our Mississippi Home

SUMMARY: Naturalist Sharon Milligan witnessed a dramatic encounter at a pond where a Banded Water Snake captured a Two-toed Amphiuma by its tail. Knowing the snake’s determination, the outcome was clear: the amphiuma would soon be swallowed whole despite its ability to deliver a painful bite. Water snakes are equipped with flexible jaws to consume large prey. This encounter highlighted the amphiuma’s rarity, as they are nocturnal and primarily inhabit burrows. Both species sit at the top of their local aquatic food chains, with water snakes able to tackle larger prey than the amphibians. Sharon’s documentation enriches understanding of these creatures.
