SUMMARY: Periodic cicadas, emerging every 13 or 17 years, are causing excitement. MSU’s Dr. Blake Layton notes that Mississippi hosts three 13-year cicada broods, with Brood XIX, the Great Southern brood, set to appear across parts of 15 states. Mississippi will witness Brood XXII in 2027 and Brood XXIII in 2028, but it won’t experience 17-year cicadas like northern states will this year. These insects are known for their distinctive black and orange coloration, loud songs, and large numbers, with hundreds of thousands per acre in preferred habitats. In contrast, Mississippi also has around 20 species of annual green-bodied cicadas with varied songs.

SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
