"Ummm...correct me if I'm wrong, lashers who hail from the southern states of the USA, but don't you use saucepans?"
If you do Southern cooking RIGHT, the fried stuff isn't greasy and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. Just because her grandmother ATTEMPTED to make soul food doesn't mean she succeeded. ACK. Lousy soul food is the WORST. *shudders*
As for the rest of it, I think she actually did some good parenting in previewing movies for her kid and has some good advice telling others to step up to the plate and actually get involved with what their kids are reading. Barring the very obvious crap content of her books, I really don't blame her for being annoyed that idiots are walking up to her and essentially saying "Hey, I'm not interested in reading your work and I'm too lazy to actually flip through the pages at least or read a review, so could you save me having to do any parenting work myself and just tell me if your stuff any good for my pre-teen?"
I wonder if Trin has read any of her mother's books...
