Publisher's Summary:
Best-selling authors Jennifer Youngblood and Sandra Poole (mother and daughter) tell funny, heartwarming stories about life in the South, such as this entertaining definition of "What bless your heart really means".
In the South, we believe in being polite, even if it kills us. So, when we just can't fight the urge to say something nasty, we follow it up with a "bless her heart" just to make us feel better. "Look at that poor woman trying to jog around that track. Her rear-end is dragging a trail, bless her heart."
Youngblood and Poole talk about the ins and outs of nosy neighbors, sibling rivalry, and why every Southerner worth her salt feels the need to offer advice.
Asking a Southerner for advice is like turning a woodpecker loose on a tree and expecting it to take only one peck.
Youngblood and Poole write about tornadoes, storm pits, and why their dogs wear clothes, too.
These funny, heartwarming stories are a sampling of what life is like for the typical Southern family. Pull up a comfortable chair and put up your feet...after all, everyone needs that Southern fried fix.

Charming stories of lgrowing up in the South
I have a really good friend who is from the South and I have always loved her stories of growing up in Alabama. It amazes me how her accent comes back full steam whenever she meets someone from the same area. So when I saw this title I knew I wanted to read it.
Most of the stories are simple anecdotes of memories growing up, stories the authors' grand mother told them when they were little, the complications of having a rude neighbor, going to school, dating, children, etc. Most of them made me at least smile and some made me laugh out loud. It reminded me of reading the short stories at the end of articles in the Reader's Digest but longer (and that's the part of RD I always read first.) This would be a great book to take to dentist and doctor offices to read while waiting for appointments. It might help you forget where you are. LOL
The Southern Fried Fix: 25 funny stories from Jennifer Youngblood, Sandra Poole
Just an ok book. Way too many adjectives that took away interest from the stories. Authors seemed to use grandiose descriptions for an otherwise moderately interesting story. Thus didn't work for me.
Chuckles and belly laughs!
Excellent writing team! If you are from the rural south you will relate to the stories! If not, you need to read the "Southern Fried Fix" to round out your education and have a good laugh!
What's so funny?
The stories in this book were "cute", at best! Considering that this book was described as "25 FUNNY Stories of a Southern family", I was quite disappointed!!
I laughed out loud in places and really enjoyed getting to know a little more about these Southern ...
