Redneck Roundup

livingdebToday a friend is having a birthday party with the theme "Redneck Roundup! Hillbilly Hootenanny!" After having gone to a conference session on racism, I realize this is way politically incorrect. But I'm going anyway. In my flannel shirt with a pillow to look like I am pregnant. Also with tuna biscuit bake. I did get the recipe from a Chicagoan, but since it's comfort food with an ingredient I later learned from a Georgian to call "whop biscuits," I'm bringing some.
(You whop the can of biscuits upside the counter to open it and line the bottom of a casserole dish with the biscuits. Mix a can of cream of mushroom soup with two cans of tuna and a half a cup of milk and pour that over the biscuits. Bake in a 475-degree oven until, I swear, 5 minutes before the biscuits brown (10 to 15 minutes), then sprinkle a cup of cheese over the top and cook 5 more minutes. It's fast and delicious.)
Yes, and we are making fun of rednecks right in the middle of Texas. And having a watermelon-seed-spitting contest among other shenanigans. Is it okay if some of us own oversized pick-up trucks? Maybe not. This is exactly like one of the things I heard about in that session. Apparently college students like to have parties where they dress up like pimps or drug dealers or rap singers or maybe some ignorant combination, I forget. Anyway, those parties are highly offensive to all kinds of people.
I really, really don't think we will be hurting anybody. But then I'm awfully ignorant.
Nanawrimo Update
I woke up late, had breakfast out, watched a movie, went shopping, and got ready for a party, which I am about to leave for. What does that have to do with writing?
