As a true blue Southern girl I have often thought...if preppies can have their own guide book, then why not us? So, what makes a Southern girl so extraordinary? Why, it's the very essence of who we are! Our style, our heritage, and our upbringing. There are other things that contribute to our culture that I am happy to share with you.
Say Darlin' Like You Mean It:
If you can't say Darlin' like you mean it, sugah, just don't say anything at all!
Drawl - to speak slower than average while prolonging a word's vowels;
not to be confused with the drunken slurring of cowboys,
a drawl is a beautiful thing to hear.
Southern Grammar Lesson
1. Y'all is singluar
2. "All y'all" is plural
3. "All Y'all's" is plural possessive
Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes
(from the Original Whistlestop Cafe)
To keep the cooked tomatoes from getting soggy before serving, stand them up like wheels in the serving dish instead of stacking them.
Yield: 3-4 servings
3/4 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup milk
3 - 4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
Vegetable oil
Combine first 5 ingredients; mix until smooth. Add additional milk to thin, if necessary; batter should resemble pancake batter. Working in batches, dip tomato slices into batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowls. Fry 2 inches hot oil (375 degrees) in a largely heavy skillet until browned, turning once carefully with tongs. Transfer to colander to drain. Serve with a "y'all" and a "shug".
Y'all Come Back.
