SUMMARY: The author reflects on cherishing childhood memories at their grandfather’s grist mill in Mississippi and wonders if their grandchildren will create similarly joyful experiences. Despite concerns about their busier lives and the influence of technology, the author acknowledges that their own childhood was also filled with activities and friendships. The sight of their husband working in a knife shop evokes nostalgia, reminding them of past generations and the importance of preserving family stories. They encourage sharing personal tales of Mississippi to ensure future generations appreciate their heritage and the wealth of memories yet to be created.

SUMMARY: The author humorously describes their struggle with love bugs on their back porch, comparing their abundance to flies in a dairy barn. After sweeping, they perform a makeshift study, counting a few piles and calculating that they’ve swept over 1,100 love bugs. These insects have been prevalent in Florida since 1965 and are found along the Gulf Coast. Each female lays around 300 eggs, leading to high populations. Love bugs are known for flying while mating and sticking to people, causing a nuisance. The author anticipates more love bugs to clear, estimating at least 2,370 still lingering.

SUMMARY: The author expresses a love for fried pork chops, favoring thin, bone-in cuts for an authentic Southern meal. After discovering thick cuts at Rouses that were unsuitable for frying, they decided to smoke the pork chops using hickory wood from a fallen tree. Properly seasoning the chops with Tony’s and Greek seasoning, they allowed the meat to reach room temperature before grilling. The author relies on touch to gauge doneness rather than a thermometer. Smoked chops pair well with David Chang’s Momofuku ramen and various sides, making them a versatile and delicious option for dinner.
