Amazing lady and talented author Dianne Castell is having a 2 day long blog party over at Laurie’s Laudanum starting TODAY!!
The party is to celebrate her new release from Brava. HOT AND BOTHERED.that is set in The South. The real South. ANdher first post is abotu being a true Southern Belle. I have to say… I am not a southern belle. (Was there really ever any doubt?) I’m Canadian for one thing, but I thought you never know… I might have some characteristics of a Southern Belle. But no, not really. Sure I enjoyed Steele Magnolias and loved Fried Green Tomatos, but well, I tried grits for the first time when I was in Atlanta a couple years ago. Not my thing. And I’ve never read or seen Gone With The Wind (but my cat’s named Scarlet!).
And let’s not forget I cuss worse than a trucker. 😳
Anyway, I can’t help it. After reading Dianne’s post about Southern Belle’s I thought of Suzanne McMinn and her Chicken in the Road blog. Suzanne makes me want to live in the south.
So, for fun, check out the blog party and the TON of prizes they’re giving away…and also, read Suzanne’s Farm Journal from time to time. It’ll make you smile. 🙂
I’d been told about grits, but I still expected it to be something exotic and very Southern. Turns out it’s very similar to a certain type of porridge made in Finland. Only ours is made of wheat, not corn.
I don’t qualify as a Southern Belle, either. But I know a few and love to listen to them talk.
