I hadn't been a fan of Pioneer Woman-Ree Drummond, only because I didn't know that much about her. My wonderful sister gave me a copy of "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" for Mother's Day. This book is the story of how she met the infamous Marlboro Man and how their relationship developed. I had heard a little bit about her husband "Marlboro Man" and was curious to know the rest of the story.
For those of you who might not be familiar with The Pioneer Woman (yeah right), she is a blogger who has been entertaining readers since 2006 with her stories of transition from city life to a rancher's life and all the recipes that go along with it.
I began reading this book and could not put it down. My eyes blurred and teared (from weariness and laughter). I read every available moment. I seldom devour books like this anymore. I think it has something to do with the 3 children my husband and I are raising...At any rate, I finished my book shortly after receiving it. I loved it. Every word. I even spent a few days in a mini-funk because I was done living in Ree and Marlboro Man world. We actually had quite a bit in common.
If ever I could recommend a book that would make a person feel good-even though there are a few parts that aren't happy, this would be the one. As I would read into the night next to my snoring husband, I could even overlook the 100 decibel snores emanating from his head. I could do this because Ree's book made me remember the reasons why I fell in love with him in the first place.
I even made her Chicken Spaghetti recipe (from the back of the book). It's comfort food and I really needed some last week. It was yummy. Thanks Ree.
If you have the chance, I highly recommend "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels". It's one I know I will go back and read again and again. :)
