We are trying to find out if this is southern,Texan or just part of our family language.
The cook in the kitchen says"I'll 'let' you set the table while I finish cooking dinner".Any one know?

You got a cook? wow!
To: The Clemson Tiger
LOL!
In the South we actually have annual family reunions, as in every year.
It amazes me (I live in the Pacific NW) that some folks haven't seen/talked to their cousins or aunts/uncles in years.

Not a Southerner but my favorite fiction writer (and I am not much of a fiction person) is Flannery O'Connor (and Doesteyevsky or course.)

You the cook?

I went to California once years ago and waitressed there for a while.
Every other table I waited on, the guys would say "So, you from TAAAXES"? Or "you got cows", :you got an oil well"? or a horse and a cowboy hat? It seemed within the first few seconds of conversation they just knew. Everybody says I have a slow Texas draw. Oh well...

A southerner knows that "fair to middlin" comes from grades of cotton.

Those cast iron skillets can be passed down for generations and the 'seasoning' on them just gets better, so black it shines.
A friend brought a family skillet to his marriage. His new wife, not familiar with the proper care of same, put it in the dishwasher. I think he cried.

"It amazes me (I live in the Pacific NW) that some folks haven't seen/talked to their cousins or aunts/uncles in years."That IS amazing, but I've found it to be true.
I've been amazed that, up here, they eat turnips but throw away the greens.
That's just silly.

Actually I don't have any accent at all, it is those weird people in Kansas that talk funny.
The strongest accent I have ever heard was this little cutie from Chester, South Carolina. At first I literally could not understand her. When I asked where she was from, she would say Chasstuuh about as slow as molasses.
I knew another one, (that part of the state must produce really pretty ones) from Rock Hill and hers was nearly as strong.

The best way to eat okra. Bile 'em with tomatoes, season with bacon. Goes good with red beans an' rice with sausage. Some corn bread would be nice. (some people berl, others bile)

When something like that happens to a skillet, you just re-season it as if it was new and it will be fine.
