Dolly tries too hard


I used to think of Dolly Parton as witty and clever, but, I think she's senile now.
*
Dolly to AOL music..
*the 62-year-old wants to share her secret recipes with the world.
And Parton is tempted to take her recipes onto lifestyle queen Martha Stewart's daily TV show.
Describing her dream menu to website AOL Music, Parton says, "I'd fry some green tomatoes... something greasy and definitely something Southern. Maybe some possum or squirrel. Can you imagine doing that to Martha Stewart? 'Here's how cook a Parton Pie, Martha, you've gotta put some sweet potatoes and bacon grease...'"*
*************************************
Bullshit. She's trying so hard to relate to the poor country fan base she thinks she still has, she sounds absurd and insane. Nobody eats "possum." You think they do? Bullshit..I grew up as rough as a cob. White trash? (You think you can insult me with that?) Pfffft...We invented it. We ate squirrel and we were damn glad to get it. It's good too. We ate dandelion greens in bacon grease and beans and government cheese. All good. No one eats opossum, except the Clampets and they weren't real. That's retarded. Dolly needs a reminder that she now owns Dollywood and we've moved on, learned some book readin' and cypherin' and don't need her references to (gag) charming imaginary country "vitils." Insulting. And I guarantee you Martha Stewart has had fried squirrel.

Its funny, dandelion greens are like a "gourmet" food now in lots of chi-chi restaurants as a side.

Yep. They weren't when gramma'd give us younguns a bucket and say go pick greens or go hungry.

Why would you put greens in grease? Is that like the "salad dressing" or do you fry them? I'm intrigued.

Dirty Disher said...

Fried, like collards. Or boiled then topped with margarine if there was no bacon grease. It sounds depressing now.

Think she eats at one of those green fancy eatin' tables with those pot passin' sticks too? Gov't cheese is good. My husbands g'ma gave us hers once. You can't buy cheese like that. It's awesome.
