I read the article. I agree with Wayne. Tomorrow night's dinner is
going to be a Southern extravaganza: smoked pork chops with yams and
collard greens. It won't quite be the equivalent of Poor Melvin's ham
and yams, but as close as this Yankee girl can come. (Poor Melvin's was
a Southern/Cajun joint in Irving, TX. It had a wonderful jukebox full
of Louis Prima tunes.)

oh, i don't know, blanket condemnations of a group of people 'except

not exactly on topic, but i would enthusiastically recommend to any
student of the south the writings of florence king:

<http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Failed-Southern-Lady-Florence/dp/0312050631/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201120640&sr= 8-4>

or for an omnibus, 'the florence king reader':

<http://www.amazon.com/Florence-King-Reader/dp/0312143370/ref=pd_bbs_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201120640&sr=8-7>

very, very funny lady, though she qualifies as a right-winger. an
excellent prose stylist as well. a quote: 'no matter which sex i
slept with, i never smoked in the street.'

I haven't heard anyone mention her name in years. I read her first few
books, and I believe she used to have an article at the end of a magazine.
I know that I did like her years ago and DH and I had some good laughs out
of her writings. I can't remember much about her politics; just mores.

I always thought Southern meant anywhere below the Mason/Dixon line. More
the slave line to freedom, historically.

Cuisine, I haven't a clue.

she wrote the 'misanthrope's corner' column for many years in the
*national review*, william f. buckley's magazine.

unlike most political polemicists of any stripe, she was pretty funny.

I especially relished her anti - children writings...

And wasn't she a ******* (in a *quiet* way, not an "I'm OUT and PROUD!"

Me, too, Greg. I can't remember any of them, but I'm smiling ear-to-ear
remembering that I liked them a lot.
