Or at least a friend or neighbor who let you in on the secret. It's one of those deeply personal things, one's preference for potato salad. My grandmother made a German potato salad that was served warm and had bits of diced ham in it. Her children went bonkers for it — the in-laws not so much. There are some who prefer a Dijon-based vinaigrette and round discs of red potatoes with the skin still on. Others love to throw in a generous handful of dill or a big heaping spoonful of relish. But, there's something special about a potato salad that calls on boiled egg.

One of the most beloved Hollywood stars in the history of television, in particular, was actress Frances Bavier, who died in 1989 at age 85. The likable actress became best known for her compassionate and nurturing role as Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-1968).

That’s it. I’m done gatekeeping. If you haven’t tried the key lime pie from Publix, now is the time. Even my devout baker of a mother, who for most of my childhood swore by the decree “homemade, best made,” is a convert. A Tennessean through and through, she always prided herself on fixing desserts from scratch. She’d diligently follow the instructions in my grandmother's waterlogged, dog-eared church cookbook that survived moves from Knoxville to Tullahoma and Memphis, then back to Knoxville, and so on.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Hammond, LA

Affectionately nicknamed “Hammond, America” by locals, Hammond, Louisiana is the largest town in Tangipahoa parish. (New Orleans is just 45 minutes down the road.) Southeastern Louisiana University is in the heart of the city, but it’s not your typical college town. This charming and diverse community is large enough to have fun but small enough to be comfortable, offering a wide variety of restaurants, shops and experiences and hardly any crowds. Rich in Southern hospitality and abundant with activities for all ages, Hammond is one of those places that will surprise you. Here are the best things to do on a long weekend in Hammond.

While polishing items like sterling silver flatware and brass bookends takes a little bit of elbow grease, there’s a point at which the scrubbing can actually go a step too far. Shhh…we won’t tell your Mama if you don’t. Part of what makes these antique items so special is their natural patina, a thin layer that develops on a surface due to age, wear, or chemical reaction. Patina occurs when a metal is in a specific environment, and its aged look gives an object a bit of flare, hinting at its history, character, or authenticity. The most famous example of patina is perhaps the Statue of Liberty, which was once copper and now is its signature shade of green. Patina, however, doesn’t have to occur on such a grand scale. Even the most common household objects can develop patina over time, giving them an undeniably sophisticated look.
