SUMMARY: In Goodman, Mississippi, the small library housed in a former church transformed under Rachel Floyd’s leadership since 2021.

SUMMARY: Dumplings are a comforting, versatile food with many variations worldwide. A classic Southern recipe uses simple flour and water dumplings simmered in chicken stock made from roasted chicken bones and sautéed mirepoix. Alternatives include using biscuit or Bisquick mixes for quick dumplings. Frozen dumplings are convenient but often less favored. Dumplings can be stuffed, such as Chinese potstickers or Eastern European pierogi, with fillings like pork, beef, vegetables, and cheese. Southerners also enjoy deep-fried dumplings. Originating in China during the Eastern Han dynasty, dumplings spread globally via trade routes. They are best enjoyed with flavorful dipping sauces of soy, garlic, vinegar, and chili oil.
