Grape Wine in a Mason Jar

How good is grape wine? So good that Roger Miller wrote a song about it. It is sweet, nearly free and you can make it at home. When made right you will get rip-roaring drunk off of it before you realize you have had too much. All you need are Muscadine grapes, yeast, sugar and patience. Who needs Napa Valley? This link will show you how to get down to brewing it and dandelion wine in the comfort of your own home.

Chug-a-lug chug a lug
Make ya wanna holla, "hidy ho"
Burns your tummy don't you know

The Sweet Tea Line

I just don't believe in the Mason-Dixon Line. Having said that, I probably owe you an explanation. As all good southerners know, sweet tea is the food of the gods. This sugary concoction is also part of what makes you a southerner. The Mason-Dixon line fails to take that into account. Over at eightoverfive.com, they have created this neat little shockwave image which explains where the south truly starts. The line where McDonald's stops serving sweet tea in their restaurants.

Alabama's Got Talent.

Well we are pretty sure it does. This however is not it. Why do old white people think that they can (or should) rap? Find your favorite truly southern commercials, post them in the comments and we will sift through through them and post the best to the site.

Sweet Jesus & Fatdaddy's Front Porch

Every now and again I come across a gem in the red clay of the south. This is one of those times and Katrina Estes Hill is one of those gems.

Katrina Estes Hill

"Everyone has a story and often that story goes untold because of our apathy and disinterest in seeing further into who they are, who they have been, and what role they play in society." -Katrina Estes Hill

Whether it be storytelling, writing or painting Katrina has a knack for transporting your heart to a place you may not be familiar with but you would sure love to see. She is able to catch the true beauty of her subjects through her painting and through her stories. If you ever have the opportunity to hear her tell one of her great southern stories then you are a lucky one indeed.

At lunch one day...

Scene:
I was helping a couple of friends into their car one day after lunch when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I stood there and watched as a family was crossing the parking lot towards the restaurant. A mother & father walking in front with their three little "overweight" children dressed, head to toe, in camouflage trailed in a line behind them.
I didn't realize that one of my friends was also taken by the look of this family, when out of his mouth came the funniest quote I have ever heard. I will remember this moment forever!
