The Southerner's Handbook by Garden and Gun

I picked up a copy of The Southerner's Handbook a few months back as a a present for my husband, This is the essential guide for all things southern. It is arranged by 6 parts: Food, Style, Drink, Sporting and Adventure, Home and Garden and lastly Art and Culture. Every time I read this book, it reminds me of a simpler time from when I was a child and my grandmother. 

So in one sitting I can read about the ultimate appetizer to make for guests, learn about seersucker and the secrets of a southern hostess, how to have the perfect southerner's bar, study up on the three essential flies to catch the trout of the south, growing the perfect heirloom tomato (and later slather some Duke's Mayo and spinkle some salt and pepper on it) and lastly go to the church of southern football (that would be University of Alabama versus Auburn). 

Who knew I could do this in one day! Click on the photo above if you want to learn more or to purchase a copy.
