Rick & Bubba's Big Honkin' Book of GRUB

It's likely that if I'd ever read any of Rick and Bubba's other books, I'd realize that they'd be pure silliness. This book of GRUB is no exception. And while I was figuring that it'd be full of recipes, it wasn't, but I did enjoy reading the 20-plus dishes that they did include. But beware serious dieters, while they poke fun at calorie-counters, I think we all know that these guys eat for the enjoyment of it, and encourage others to do likewise!

My only stumbling block was seeing how much sugar they put in regular cornbread and the cornbread they mix into dressing. I'm Southern and always add a little bit of sugar to these dishes, but felt my eyes glaze over when I saw the amounts in these two recipes. But still, since this book is such a joy, I'd try it their way first. What have I got to lose?

This book would be a perfect gift for the numerous Rick and Bubba fans, and for anyone who wants a laugh. And these days, who couldn't use some light-hearted entertainment?
