Excerpt

There are three things that trailer park women are good at; holdin' our liquor, jackin' our hair to Jesus, and cookin'. Even when we get so old that the liquor runs right through us and there ain't any more hair left to jack or tease up, we can still cook up a meal like there's no tomorrow! Yes, bein' able to slam together a great tastin' meal with whatever happens to be in the fridge is somethin' that's in our blood. It's a gift that the Almighty has seen fit to bestow on us common folk. It's like I told his Holiness, Pope John Paul II, durin' one of my many requested visits to the Papal Palace, "This Old Rugged Cross cake with sanctified sour cream frostin' is goin' to knock that beanie right off of your head." We trailer folk know that our cookin' is good, and we're dog gone proud of it! You see trailer park cookin' is more than just a way of preparin' a meal. It also happens to be a tool of comfort, which we folks turn to in times of need. Your son's been arrested?whip out the skillet! Your husband's cheatin' on you...fire up the stove! A tornado's been spotted a few trailers down...grease up a pie pan! Or, God forbid, the bingo bus has broken down right outside your door, and your car won't start...put your dauber down, and crack open some eggs! Yes, dear reader, trailer park cookin' plays a very large role in our everyday lives. Heck, why do you think Wal-Mart carries 3XL to 5XL sized stretch pants and caftans? Cookin' is the backbone in the trailer park skeleton of life. Over the years we folks have hoarded our recipes like tickets to a championship wrestlin' event. We ain't told anyone their contents, and in some cases, have even served TV dinners to visitin' outsiders just to keep our secrets within our own community. Sure we'll go on national television and air our dirty laundry, but when it comes to our cookin' we're tighter than Jimmy Swaggart's hands on a widow's checkbook. I, too, must confess of only sharin' my personal titillatin' concoctions with a few of my closest friends and clients. But the last time I had to eat one of them terrible meals that I spoke of at the beginnin', I turned to my husband Dew and told him that it was time to throw open the trailer park recipe vaults for all the world to enjoy. After all, why should we be the only ones to enjoy a good meal? It just ain't fair! So, here they are! Here are some of the finest dishes that you will ever put a fork or spoon to. I, however, can't take all of the credit. No, I must share a tiny bit of the spotlight with all the members of my family and the rest of the inhabitants of the trailer park where I live. I told my family and all of the other residents at the 20 Lot High Chaparral Trailer Park about my idea for this book. Many of 'em were happy to hand out their own recipes, which you will find on the followin' pages. And then there were others that flatly refused to give away their secrets, so I swiped 'em from the recipe holders durin' a visit while the hostesses were in the john. Seein' how the closest thing to a Barnes and Noble Bookstore in my hometown of Pangburn is the adult bookstore by the highway, and the last book the Pangburn Library purchased was Valley Of The Dolls, I can safely pass these recipes on to you with fear of my amateur cat burglary of the recipe boxes bein' disclosed.
