Saturday, December 8, 2018:
Mark and Paula
headed to a small town in Oklahoma. What for? |
 |
| They wanted to see the
ranch where
Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond does her cooking shows on the
Food Network. |
 |
| The pantry is a huge
walk-in room with library ladder. Ree cooks for a lot of people. |
 |
| No star on this
Christmas tree. A cowboy hat instead. Note the sign on the
fireplace! |
 |
| Cowboy Bill was the tour guide that day
showing off a life he knows best. |
 |
| The Drummond family, as
seen in this canvas print. |
 |
|
The ranch is about 15 miles out in the country. But, Ree's
Merc
(Mercantile) is in downtown Pawhuska. The huge renovation project was detailed on her television program. |
 |
|
There is a bakery on site with Ree's favorite recipes faithfully
reproduced. |
 |
|
Mark, Ree Drummond and Paula at a book signing. One more cookbook for
Chef Paula's cupboard. |
 |
|
Dee's husband Ladd (on the right) is seen here conversing with a local
cattleman. Note the toothpick in his mouth. This is real down-home Oklahoma living. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Mercantile restaurant serves steak to cattlemen and visitors alike. What else would they want? |
Quote of the day:
Gosh, I could have been a rancher. Mark
