SUMMARY: Quality ingredients are crucial for cooking success, alongside technical skills and enjoyment of cooking. Access to quality proteins can be limited, especially with only one local butcher shop available. While online ordering offers expensive options like wagyu and organic chicken, fresh vegetables can be found at local farmers’ markets, though care should be taken to avoid produce from boxes that aren’t fresh. Chain grocery stores prioritize shelf life over flavor, often selling unripe items. Growing your own garden is an excellent option, providing seasonal, chemical-free produce, ensuring delicious meals for family and friends.

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.
