Holiday Leftovers: What to Do With Them?
SUMMARY: Post-holiday turkey leftovers can be daunting, but there’s no need to stick to traditional slices. Start by making a rich stock with onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and turkey bones, which can be frozen in ice cube trays for easy future use. A delicious use for leftover meat is in sandwiches with homemade aioli, using an immersion blender to mix olive oil, egg, and lemon juice, which can be spiced up with curry or chilies. Turkey also works well in stews; thicken with roux if desired. Additionally, turkey can be repurposed into tacos, curries, omelets, or served over grit cakes for variety.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is central to America’s musical heritage, originating the blues and shaping gospel, soul, country, rock, and hip-hop. Legends like Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Faith Hill, and contemporary artists reflect Mississippi’s influence across genres. Songs inspired by the state explore its towns, people, struggles, and the Mississippi River, celebrating its rich and complex history. From Delta blues classics to Southern rock, country, pop, and rap, Mississippi remains the heartbeat of American music. The state is rightly known as “The Birthplace of America’s Music,” with hundreds of songs echoing its enduring cultural and musical legacy.

SUMMARY: In Goodman, Mississippi, the small library housed in a former church transformed under Rachel Floyd’s leadership since 2021. Despite the town’s high poverty and limited opportunities, the library has become a vibrant sanctuary for children. Its unique features, like a spiral staircase leading to a kids’ area and displays of local art, create a welcoming, lively environment. Rachel’s dedication to diverse programs—storytimes, crafts, STEAM clubs—boosted book checkouts from 83 to 823 over three years. More than a library, it is a community hub where children feel valued, inspired, and free to explore, learn, and grow.
