What happens when a woman from California moves to Texas and ends up with a born-and-bred in Texas husband? Get ready for a "Culture Crash!" that is as surprising as it is hilarious. Read about her one summer at a kid's dude ranch in West Texas, when putting coke in your canteen instead of water for a horseback ride means a long ride home with sticky stuff dripping down your leg. And how the youngest riders seem to have the most ancient horses, which can and do expire mid-session. Where barbequing is a sacred smoky bond between man and meat that requires rubs, spices, music and beer to do it properly. Explore "Southern Comfort Food Updated", from Church Socials to Buffets and their little-known Fried Chicken Charge. Try to understand a Texas husband's attachment to "Comfort Stuff", and his radar-like ability to hone in on anything "Free!" - or a discarded couch by a dumpster that is always "worth a look." Learn about the history behind the Parlors in Texas Homes, where you might be cooling your heels awhile if you have your pregnant daughter in tow to see the Almost-Man Of The House. And if you think the Civil War is over, wait until you read about Condiment Wars! This collection of humor essays ends with a reprint of "Ready For The Hurricane Season?" first printed on-line by Deep South Magazine. And a Cowboy Psalm dedicated to the 15 First Responders who lost their lives in April 2013, when a fertilizer plant exploded in West, Texas. Get ready to laugh, get ready to learn, get ready to be surprised, get ready to cry. "Culture Crash!" will delight your whole family, and you'll want to keep this book handy to read over and over again.
