"Food," says Ruby Ann Boxcar, "is one thing all trailer park people have in common, followed by their undyin' love of Elvis and the reproduction of ugly children." The recipes of trailer dwellers are unlike any others. Its been known to make men turn championship wrestling off, large women in double knit polyester slacks dance, and derelict children smile. That's why Ruby Ann has taken the time to write down her favorite recipes in an easy to read cookbook .

This cookbook gives the reader a titillating guide to handed down recipes and an insider's look at Ruby Ann's fellow residents at the 20 lot "High Chaparral Trailer Park" in Pangburn, Arkansas. Along with good food and gossip, the reader will come face to face with sex, murder, topless dancing, Baptist ministers, adultery, and political secrets. The fact that Ruby Ann Boxcar has lived her entire life in a trailer, and her updo hairstyle, cat eyed glasses, and blue eye shadow insures the reader she knows what she's talking about when it comes to trailer park living. Her 300-pound figure speaks for itself on the question of her cooking credentials.

A hilarious tongue-in-cheek look at the south's stereotypical trailer park and the many recipes they share among themselves. Includes vignettes of each of the park's residents as well as all of the recipes. Remember, it's a parody of stereotypes, so substitute ingredients per your own use as necessary. (I don't think government cheese is around much these days, anyway! LOL) The recipes are legit, though.

Eventually resorted to skimming over the recipes. Although it was funny, it got to be too over the top. I'm still planning to skim over another Ruby Ann book that a friend loaned me, though.

Hoo-doggies! What great recipes, and every one of them absolutely lethal with fat, sugar and more fat!
