The History of a Favorite Food, Pizza
SUMMARY: Pizza, a beloved global dish, traces its origins to flatbread in Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. The modern version emerged in a Jewish community in southern Italy, where leftovers were placed on flatbread, later becoming popular in the U.S. through Italian immigrants in the late 1800s. American pizza differs from its Italian counterpart with a thicker crust, more sauce, and varied toppings. In the 1960s, pizza kits and chain restaurants like Pizza Hut helped popularize pizza in America. Homemade pizza is simple yet time-consuming, requiring basic ingredients, or premade crusts for convenience, with endless topping options.

Easter Nature Hunt | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Easter egg hunts bring joy to children, especially with hidden eggs in un-mowed lawns adorned with spring wildflowers. The author recalls waiting to mow their lawn until after Easter, using the tall grass as cover for eggs. This Easter, they encourage others to appreciate the wildflowers that bloom during this season and consider allowing their lawns to grow freely, creating “no-mow zones” that support pollinators. Such spaces not only add beauty but also benefit the ecosystem. The author invites families to engage in an Easter Nature Hunt, discovering the charm of wildflowers alongside the traditional activities.
