Homemade Hamburgers | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: The hamburger is an iconic American food, deeply rooted in culture and history, with origins tracing back to 1758. Despite its simplicity, the rise of fast food drastically altered consumption habits, selling around 6.48 million burgers daily, often made from low-quality ingredients. In contrast, homemade burgers, crafted from prime beef, seasoned well, and grilled over hardwood, offer a superior experience. While the hamburger’s exact birthplace remains unclear, it gained popularity at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, evolving to include numerous toppings and condiments, reflecting the diverse tastes of consumers today.

SUMMARY: Feeding wildlife can be enjoyable, but it’s important to remember that many animals can find their own food and may become dependent on human assistance. Instead of feeding them directly, consider planting native plants that provide natural food sources like fruits, seeds, and insects. Examples include Wax Myrtle, Yaupon Holly, and American Beautyberry. For nectar-feeding birds, try Coral Honeysuckle or Red Buckeye. Creating a no-mow zone, brush piles, and other habitats can also provide shelter and food. While occasional feeding is fine, avoid processed foods, and opt for natural options like nuts for squirrels and fruits for turtles.
