Whiskey in a teacup book review6/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the decorating for holidays larger than your neighbor and the big hair (closer to God) that shockingly, prior to this book, I had not a clue how to hot roll. I didn’t fully understand them at first (thanks Reese, this book would have been totally fab back in about 1993 when I first met him), but I welcomed and appreciated them, fell head over heals for the traditions, the family values, the tuck in that crazy, the over-the-top you do you-ness of it all, and the glorious story that attaches to every antique like a museum of moments. I met and married a southerner and with him came all the Southern ways. I went to grad school in the South - which was a bit of a culture shock at first. ![]() Mind you, I was raised in the North, but I moved South as fast as I could, and now I’ve lived here longer than anywhere else. Because my husband - I like to think he affectionately calls me this - my husband calls me a “Yankee” at every turn. ![]() I mean, if you don’t live here, you probably don’t get it. It’s about the South and what makes it so incredibly special. Peel back another layer and this book is sooooooooo much more that just what we all adore about perky, sunshiney, super talented, girl boss, actress of our ages, Reese. ![]()
