The Western Frontier Cook Book

by: Stoney Hardcastle
.... recipes that come down to us from the Great American Frontier

You probably won't notice it while you're cooking up one of these dishes ..... you'll probably be too busy gettin' it all together.

But, when you sit down to eat, I'd suggest you get real quiet and listen closely. It helps if you close your eyes and kind of tilt your head a little bit.

Very often, when you do that, you can hear.... way off in the distance .... so faint that it's almost not there .... the distant sound of hooves. You'll catch the low squeak of a cinch as some hombre shifts his tired weight in the saddle, or hear the clumsy rattling of a far-off Conestoga wagon.

You'll feel the dry western air in your throat and taste a hint of dust .... for a moment .... just for a moment, you'll join those who went before.

OKIE Dictionary

by: Stoney Hardcastle

(The worlds most unique language defined)
Idioms - Phrases - Superstitions

Noah Webster wasn't consulted when our language was molded. It was shaped from many years of trial and error- a mixture of "sorghum molasses" southern accent, a nip of several Indian dialects keyed with a southwestern nasal drawl and a wide collection of creative idioms. Our phraseology, we create to fit the occasion and/or situation.
