(relax, breathe...they won't bite)

The part of Rachel will be played today by…Deanna

(hi!)

So there was this storm…A storm that knocked out Rachel’s internet. Like COMPLETELY. So she asked me to step in for her today, and I just hope I don’t wreck the place. (it’s ok, cause I’m her blog designer too)

Speaking of, we are working on a new look for A Southern Fairytale – a little new paint, some new decorations…it will be fabulous!

But you didn’t come here to listen to me ramble – you want to share some recipes!  I’ll be visiting as many of you as I can, and hopefully Rachel will be back by Tuesday!



I'm a deep-fried Southern belle, married to a cowboy boot wearin', Harley ridin’ Texan Prince Charming. I am the always proud and frequently exhausted mom to two 8th generation Texans My childhood was spent at my Granny's side learning to cook with cast iron, butter and that special southern ingredient -- love Today, I share my passion for food, family and photography with thousands of monthly readers on my blog, A Southern Fairytale. I love cute boots, my Canon camera, belly laughs with friends, the beach, my family and ellipses..."

    2. Most of you have probably read all of these, but they still bring a smile to my face.Aim todwras the enemy. Instruction printed on US Rocket LauncherYou don’t win a war by dying for your country. You win a war by making the other son-of-a-bitch die for his. General PattonWhen the pin is pulled, mr. Grenade is not our friend. -US Marine CorpsIf it’s stupid but works, it isn’t stupid.Cluster bombing from b-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground. U.S.A.F. Armament GroupThe difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little while longer. U.S. Navy SeabeesIf the enemy is in range, so are you. Infantry JournalWhoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons!A slipping gear could let your m203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what’s left of your unit. Army’s magazine of prevention maintenanceWhen in doubt empty the magazine.It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed US. Air Force manualIf God had meant for us to be in the Army, we would have been born with green, baggy skin.It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed. U.S. Army OrdnanceTry to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.Bravery is being the only one who knows you’re afraid. Col. David HackworthYou, you, and you: Panic. The rest of you, come with me.If your attack is going too well, you’re walking into an ambush. Infantry JournalOdd objects attract fire never lurk behind one.Any ship can be a minesweeper .once. AnonymousIncoming fire has the right of way.Never tell the platoon sergeant you have nothing to do. Unknown Marine RecruitDon’t look conspicuous: it draws fire.Don’t draw fire; it irritates the people around you. Infantry JournalTracers work both ways.If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him. U.S.A.F. Armament GroupFive second fuses only last three seconds.Who cares if a laser guided 500 lb bomb is accurate to within 9 feet?The easy way is always mined.Don’t ever be the first, don’t ever be the last and don’t ever volunteer to do anything.Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you.Never trust a private with a loaded weapon, or an officer with a map.If you can’t remember, the Claymore is pointed todwras you.Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.Push to test Release to detonate.Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don’t.There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can’t get out.The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions: 1. When you’re ready for them. 2. When you’re not ready for them.Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps.Friendly fire isn’t.Sometimes I think war is God’s way of teaching us geography. Paul RodriguezThe side with the simplest uniforms wins.When you’re short of everything but the enemy, you’re in combat.Mines are equal opportunity weapons.We are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction.If you find yourself in a fair fight you didn’t plan your mission properly!Hope this brings a smile to your faces as well.I’m sorry you got bored, Coach. Feel free to come back and read at your leisure. I promise, I won’t take this down for a while.FYI the claymore says, FRONT TOWARD ENEMY The M72 LAW (Light Anti-Tank Weapon) says, Aim toward enemy and has an arrow drawn under those words telling you which end to aim toward the enemy.Journeying: Thank you yours is funny too. =))Yeah, jake I’m insane .WHATEVER!!!!!

  10. Great job filling in for Rachel Deanna! I’m looking forward to seeing the changes the two of you are working on for this site 🙂

    Poor Rachel. Our internet was taken out by a storm this past summer. It took them weeks to get everything up and running again (I practically lived at the library in town). I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the storm didn’t do too much damage to your system.
