Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Holiday Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: down home humor at it's best!
Review: I have never laughed myself into a hunger stupor like I did with this book. I fell in love with it and ordered two for my friends as gifts also. It will wash away the blues of the holidays and bring a huge smile to your face, not to mention a few pounds to the waist! Ruby Ann is great- the book is as much a delight to read as are the recipes. Good home cooking and wonderful titles of each recipe to spice up your office potlucks. This one should be in everyone's kitchen library.

Summary: WARNING, THIS IS NOT A CHRISTMAS BOOK
Review: I won this book last week during a Dirty Santa game at a Christmas party. Truth be told, I had to steal it away since it was the gift everyone kept taking from each other during the game, but luckily I had the last number. I just assumed it was a Christmas book that I could put on my coffee table during the holiday season for visiting friends and family to enjoy, but boy was I wrong. This book covers all the holidays from the first of the year to the last of the year with food menue ideas and even activities. It is also sure to add a laugh to that special celebration regardless if it's VALENTINE'S DAY, PASSOVER, LABOR DAY, MOTHER IN-LAWS DAY/HALLOWEEN (they're fall so close together in October that Ruby Ann suggest you celebrate them on the same day), TAX DAY, and too many more to mention. Sure she takes her humor to CHRISTMAS and HANUKKAH, but she also covers MARDI GRAS and SUPER BOWL SUNDAY as well. And even though I'm only half way through the book, I've decided that this will make the perfect gift. I can give this to all my friends who like country western since Ruby Ann shows us how to throw a party on Reba and Loretta Lynn's birthdays. And all my race car buddies will love the section on the DAYTONA 500 with recipes like Bobby Allison Artichoke Dip and Tony Stewart Cookies (with orange and white frosting). And what kind of a trailer park cookbook would it be without an entire section dedicated to ELVIS'S BIRTHDAY! Everybody loves Elvis, and everybody will love me after they open their gifts and find this wonderful read filled with tasty dishes under the wrapping. This book is 5 full stars for sure.

Summary: Laugh at ALL THE HOLIDAYS YEAR ROUND
Review: This was my favorite birthday present. Not only did I laugh till I almost wet myself, but the food is wonderful. And the good thing about the book is that regardless of how the title makes it sound, this is not just a Christmas book, but rather a book that covers all the holidays. Even if you don't cook, you will still fall in love with Ruby Ann and all her friends at the High Chaparral Trailer Park. She really has a way of making you forget your troubles. I went out and bought her first book so now I am ready both at the same time, and I'm falling in love with all the people in her books. Where shes comes up with these stories, I'll never know. I hope that she continues to write, because with all the talk of war and such, this is what we need to escape the world we live in. Keep up the great work Ruby Ann Boxcar!
