I have lived from Iowa to Alaska, never south of that. The Garden and Gun [yes I agree it's sort of a funny name]is about the good things in "Southern" living, many of which I know little about. That said, I find I actually read a half dozen articles in each issue and pay attention to the recipes, too. I find the pages, mostly uncluttered with ads, quite readible. Now, if I can find some good green tomatos, I will try the fried green tomato recipe in this issue. The last ones I made stunk. The Bo Whoop article is the best and most complete one I have seen on the "historical" gun. Quite well done, I think.
