Does Truvy’s “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa” Recipe from Steel Magnolias Work?
March 23, 2012 Yes, I know. This is a completely random question. And, yes! I know. It's SO twenty-three years ago. Do you remember the movie Steel Magnolias? I'm sure you do. Dolly Parton played a hairdresser named Truvy and, at a certain point in the film, she gets asked about one of her famous recipes. That recipe is called Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa.

Stir and bake in a hot oven until golden brown and bubbly." So, Thursday morning on the WBKR Waking Crew, Nashville Kat, Moon and I wondered . . . does this REALLY work?

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Sing ‘America the Beautiful’ at Super Bowl 2012
Husband and wife team Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton held hands while performing ‘America the Beautiful’ together before the kickoff of Super Bowl 2012. It was a show of solidarity, and perhaps a way to calm each other’s nerves, as the couple sang while the whole country watched. Many performers before them have flubbed when singing songs at sporting events, but Lambert and Shelton delivered a mistake-free rendition dosed with a little country twang.
