I don't know if it's the title, the hilarious photos, or the knee-slapping truisms contained in this book by attorney/comedy writer C.L.Freie, that makes me laugh till I cry, but who cares? I need to laugh and "I Love Ranch Dressing And Other Stuff White Midwesterners LIke" does the trick!
Maybe it's because my husband orders a side of ranch dressing with EVERYTHING! It's gotten so bad, servers at our favorite restaurant have nicknamed him "Ranch on the Side."
The book highlights 100 things held in high esteem by White Midwesterners including ranch dressing (shown below in in a four-tiered fountain), fake martinis, being monolingual, novelty sweaters and "mall bangs."
Before you Midwesterners get your noses out of joint and cry "How DARE she?!" you should know that Freie was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, by Iowa-born parents. She's not laughing at us; she's laughing WITH us.
If you're feeling blue, due to world events that are completely out of your control, "I Love Ranch Dressing" might just be the antidote...with a side of fries, of course.
Check out the Web site for a taste and find out how to obtain your own "I Love Ranch Dressing" bumper sticker, currently adorning my husband's vehicle.

What is so great about ranch dressing? I've always found it bland, my least favorite. I've never been able to understand it's appeal.

I agree, golfergirl, but my husband would beg to differ. For my money, it's a really tasty mustard viniagrette. Or, God help me, honey mustard!!
