I continue adapting to the Southern lifestyle. An evening at Longbranch Saloon about 3 weeks or so ago was all I needed to continue the transition.
Some other things that still need to happen
- eat at Mama Dip’s (apparently a source of southern soul food according to Food TV)
- attend a NASCAR race (We saw the IMAX movie.. hopefully that’s close enough)
- say that Bojangles sweet tea is not sweet enough (the tea known to rot teeth on contact)
- use the word “y’all” by mistake
- learn to deep fry packaged desserts
- be known by the local Waffle House staff
Interesting that most of these things involve food. Maybe I’m missing something. If there’s anything else Southern that I need to document (preferably that does not result in Carrie gaining 15 pounds), leave a comment!

Woohoo! Ride ‘em cowgirl! LoL. I was commenting on the fact that I hope you revamp your website design soon and my mom asked what your sushi was! I think it’s extremely obvious that it’s a lobster roll, but she thought it was a turkey throwing up. Hmm…I don’t really see that, but anyways. I forgot to give you that article that I clipped from a magazine in Vegas and saved all the way through the drive cross country! I’ll have to mail it–along with your brown sunglasses.

Yeah Carrie! Keep up your transition to the Southern lifestyle. Things you need to do: have a mint julip, talk about your friends in NY as “yankees,” and play a banjo on your porch. Also, as you’re in NC, you must say “North Kakalaka” or “Kakalakie”

I’m glad to see you mastered the mechanical bull.. welcome to the South!
Some of that other stuff, though, is pretty stereotypical and Southern-trash.. Not so much Southern-chic. I personally am enjoying the Southern-chic life

Play songs on the top of an empty moonshine jug. And make sure to call your Mom your Mammy and your dad yer Pappy. Thats all I can think of, I haven’t been down to the deep south very much, you know, like New Jersey, thats pretty far south.
