Feeding a Crowd | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Julian Brunt, a food and travel writer with over a decade of experience covering the food culture of the Deep South, has always relied on jambalaya for feeding a crowd. However, for a change, he decided to make a special bolognese, adding peas, inspired by a favorite Italian dish. Julian, who has traveled extensively and appeared on Gordon Ramsay’s television show, “To Hell and Back in 24 Hours,” opted for rigatoni to make the dish more convenient for guests. He spent two days making the bolognese, simmering ground pork, spices, and vegetables, then reheating it with peas and Parmesan. The dish is served with garlic bread, allowing guests to dip in the sauce, an Italian tradition.

Mississippi is Wearin’ the Green
SUMMARY: St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honors the missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. This festive day, where everything turns green, was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Boston held the first official observance in 1737, while St. Augustine claimed the earliest celebration in 1600. In Mississippi, St. Patrick’s festivities kick off in Biloxi with a parade and family-friendly festival on March 15, 2025, followed by Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade on March 22. Celebrations span the state, inviting everyone to wear green and partake in the fun, avoiding leprechaun pinches along the way.
