The Destined Convergence of Kindred Souls

Dear Reader,

By stumbling across this blog, you have granted yourself the enormous pleasure of witnessing a great undertaking; you will see me enact the change needed to salvage Western civilization, and you will help me celebrate the life and work of the greatest patriot any of us will ever know.

First, a word of introduction.  My name is Seguin Womack, and I grew up a little Southern girl with a penchant for justice and down-home country cookin’.  I grew up to attain a degree in the pastry arts, all the while enjoying the works of various personalities on the Food Network.  Though it was certainly a pleasant diversion to observe the bumbling, pseudo-culinary tomfoolery of the likes of Mario Batali and Giada De Laurentiis, there was only one personality in the gastronomical field who was able to command my respect and admiration: the inimitable and iron-willed Ms. Paula Deen.

I always admired Deen and recognized a distinct je ne sais quoi of class and grace about her, but, to my shame, I failed to discern her true genius until she was recently outed as being… uncompromising.  You see, the divine Ms. D was accused of having used what the Marxists refer to as a “racial slur.”  Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea that she felt so passionately about preserving the land of our fathers.  With this knowledge in tow, I now have more determination than ever to emulate and embrace our dear Paula.  But how to go about this lofty goal?

My inaction at the beginning of her struggle against the rabble was a mixture of grief and fear of giving insufficient tribute.  Luckily, just last night, I came home to watch my sister viewing the film Julie and Julia.  The film is a cautionary tale against lunacy, as the main character, Julie, cooks her way through the works of Julia Child, and begins to admire her.  This is sickening, of course, because Julia Child was a treacherous, Francophilic giantess who probably never tasted black eyed peas in her life.  But I began thinking, what if a young woman were to extend similar devotion and scholarship to the works of a true genius of the age?  I realized quickly what my plan of action must be: I myself will devote my time to the study of Paula Deen’s comprehensive manifesto, The Southern Cooking Bible.

Now, dear Reader, please understand that I fully appreciate the gravity of my task, and that I certainly don’t consider myself anywhere near on par with the Paragon of Purity herself.  Rather, my goal is to enrich myself and our culture at large, while carefully honing the mind frame to do what is necessary.  I hope you will join me on my journey, and together, we can find a way to turn the sickle against its wielders.

Pro Dominus et Patria et Butyrum,

Seguin
