Olive Oil: A Kitchen Staple
SUMMARY: Discovering the quality of truly good olive oil is a trend on the rise. While decent options can occasionally be found in supermarkets, such as an unfiltered Sicilian oil at Rouses, exploring online selections offers a broader variety of premium oils. Shopping online provides the benefit of detailed flavor profiles and customer reviews, which are lacking when viewing bottles in-store. A notable find is Frantoia, a high-quality olive oil made in Sicily, renowned for its adherence to traditional Sicilian olive oil pressing methods. Although pricier, Frantoia is praised for its rich flavor profile, making it ideal for drizzling over dishes rather than cooking. The author shares a personal recipe to highlight the transformative power of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), suggesting that once you've tasted the “good stuff,” you'll never return to ordinary supermarket oils.

Special Day Honors and Remembers the Mothers in Our Lives
SUMMARY: Mother's Day is a time for celebrating and remembering moms. It's noted for being the third most attended church service of the year and the busiest day for restaurants. The holiday falls on the second Sunday of May, established officially in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson but conceptualized in 1908 by Anna Jarvis to honor her mother and all mothers' contributions. The day has become highly commercialized, with Americans spending over $30 billion on gifts, flowers, and dining out. Despite this commercialization, many mothers desire quality time with their families and a break from daily chores more than anything else.

Happy May! Happy May Day! Who Remembers?
SUMMARY: Several years ago, Scott Hunter shared a photograph of himself and Christine Mizell dressed for Lucedale's May Day celebration circa 1961. Judy Wilder, a local resident, recalls the celebration that marked the start of summer, featuring events like the maypole dance. Hunter, who later became a football quarterback and a news celebrity, and Wilder, who spent her career in education, both cherish the memories of their youth in Lucedale. Although May Day is no longer celebrated there, the old photographs and memories serve as a nostalgic reminder of the community's past traditions.
