24. Mississippi - Biscuits

The recipe for a quality biscuit is definitely no secret, the internet is riddled with them. However, when it comes to biscuit preparation this is usually the last thing on a cook's mind when preparing an entire meal for guests/family. Many of us, tend to pop a can of premade biscuits open, pop those bad boys in the oven, and call it a day. Not the patrons of Mississippi though. Many Mississippians consider the biscuit just as important as any other food item one chooses to serve. And they may have a point in their devotion to the biscuit as it can make or break an entire meal.

The classic Mississippi biscuit features liberal amounts of buttermilk and butter creating a flaky yet soft melt-in-your-mouth experience that might make you consider ditching your meal altogether and continue reaching for the infamous rolls. Mississippi is considered the biscuit capital of the world and even holds an annual festival known as the Natchez Biscuit Festival that features a cook-off competition, demos, and crowns a Biscuit Queen. The festival curated by Regina Charboneau has been running since 2008 and has seen continual growth since its launch.

Did You Know...

I

In the US, the average spent on an engagement ring is $6,351 but how do these figures compare with our favorite celebrities? The answer: they don't. As the diamonds increase in size, obviously the price tag appreciates handsomely. Well, we've compiled a list of some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.

II

This list would be nothing without Kim Kardashian's rock from Kanye, which clocked in at around a cool $4 million when he presented it to her at his stadium proposal in October 2013. Unfortunately, though, the 15-carat sparkler was among the jewelry stolen during Kim's infamous Paris robbery in 2016.

III

Jennifer Lopez's husband Alex Rodriguez popped the question to the singer, and he really had to step it up to outshine her previous engagement rings—and wow, did he deliver. The baseball star proposed with a reported 15-20 carat emerald cut stunner set on a platinum band that was estimated at $5 million. It's getting harder and harder not to be fooled by the rocks she's got...

IV

It should come as no surprise that Beyonce herself totes one of the world's highest-valued diamonds. Weighing in at 24 carats, Jay reportedly paid around $5 million (now worth $6,047,013) for Bey's flashy emerald-cut ring back in 2008.

V

Anna Kournikova's relationship Latin music artist Enrique Iglesias since the early '00s has been one of the most lowkey celebrity relationships to date. That is with the exception of her $5,400,000 engagement ring that made headlines in 2004. Now, worth a whopping $7,443,596, the giant yellow stunner was spotted on Kournikova even during her tennis matches. (Pssst! It's rumored she got two rings from Iglesias. Prior to this, she sported an equally giant pink pear-shaped ring.)

VI

Clocking in as the most expensive celebrity engagement ring, Mariah Carey's 35-carat bling from ex-fiancé James Packer reportedly cost a cool $10 million. And the "Obsessed" singer seemed to be a bit, well, obsessed with the jewel. She continued to wear the ring over a year post-breakup, and didn't part ways with the bauble until May 2018, selling it to a Los Angeles jeweler for $2.1 million.
