Something Southern: Sh%t Southern Women Say

So, this is one of my absolute FAVORITE web series. When I discovered it, I blew through every single episode they’d made, crying I was laughing so hard. <3 This is Episode 1.

Something Southern: Do You Want A Coke?

Published on August 26, 2014October 8, 2015 by Kait Nolan

One of our little quirks down here in the Deep South is our habit of using a particular brand name for something as the generic name for all things in that category. All tissue is Kleenex. All weed whackers are Weedeaters. The one that is, perhaps, the most perplexing to non-Southerners is the fact that […]

Something Southern: Sausage Balls

Published on August 12, 2014October 8, 2015 by Kait Nolan

*I am crazy busy, so we’re talking food today and I’m robbing an old post from my food blog, Pots and Plots. No Southern party or get together is ever complete without the inclusion of sausage balls. These meatball size bundles of meaty, cheesy deliciousness are nothing in the realm of healthy (though you can […]

My Latest Obsession: Hart of Dixie

Published on January 10, 2014 by Kait Nolan

I don’t often watch TV apart from the stuff my husband and I watch together. Mostly it’s a lack of time issue. Limited free time that has to be split between writing and reading and other stuff. So I don’t end up watching stuff unless I get unexpected free time–AKA sick days. Usually my go […]

Something Southern: B.B. King

Published on October 13, 2011October 8, 2015 by Kait Nolan

Tuesday night I had the rare and amazing opportunity to go see B.B. King. He was playing for the Lyceum Series at my local university. It’s not often you get to see him at all, and it’s rarer still that he gets to play in his home state. Talk about a proud Mississippian. It was […]
