IMO Ree is a genuine lady and the wealth comes from her husband’s side of the family.
I am not trying to hijack the thread, but since you live in OK, I know that you can answer this. I have been wanting to take a few cooking classes at The Girl Can Cook in Broken Arrow, but I would be flying into Tulsa. How is traffic to both Broken Arrow and Pawhuska? I might be traveling alone and wonder how traffic and also safety. Thanks.
Sorry if anyone is annoyed about this!!! Not trying to cause a problem.
@SXMGirl Although I am not totally familiar with that route, I'd probably go from Tulsa to Bartlesville and then west to Pawhuska. It should be about 1 hr. 30 min according to the map I looked at.
Bartlesville is a town of some size, had of oil company activity there, so is not just a hole in the road (Oklahoma-wise that is! LOL!). There is another way to get there on a smaller 2-land winding road (from looking at the map), so the way through Bartlesville would be my suggestion.
As far as safe, yes I think you would be fine, but I wouldn't want to drive it at night--that's just me!
In Tulsa, Gilcrease museum and Philbrook are both lovely places to tour. And there is an aquarium at Jenks. Utica square used to be the place to shop--but I haven't been there in awhile. I believe it is still a great place to look around and eat.
Have fun if you get to make the trip.

@Sooner Thanks so much for the info! I had hoped to make it to one of her ranch open houses, but I will hopefully get there in the fall.

@SXMGirl I visited the Lodge as a kid before they owned it. It is on a bigger hill than you'd think from the tv scenes, and it is beautiful up there.

@Sooner I meant the Lodge. There were a number of open houses there for the past several months, but the weather, at least what I was hearing on the news, has not been great. I don't want to travel and end up in some horrendous weather pattern.
If I take a cooking class, I will probably stay one night in Broken Arrow, and then move on to Pawhuska. I like that she has reasonably priced accommodations, unlike the ones in Waco.

Yes, it would be fun to stay there. The rooms look great!
You might enjoy reading a slightly boring but interesting history of Osage county from the OK Historical Society: Osage County Brief History. There is also a book about the Flower Moon Murders that happened in oil boom days.
If you ever have time to venture farther, the Marland Mansion in Ponca City is a good tour, and Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville is fun too. REALLY old west things there!
Oklahoma City is a 2 hour drive from Tulsa, so you might fly in there sometime and go to the Bombing Museum, very moving and beautiful, and/or the National and Western Heritage Museum, which has a lovely art collection.

I looked for it today just to see if there is such a thing and it's not at my walmart in Amarillo, Tx

@SharkE - If you search for "Pioneer Woman BBQ" on the Walmart website, you'll see some of the flavors that are offered. I'm guessing the sauce is being released in a limited fashion to see how it fares before it is available broadly for sale; there are a couple of flavors at a few stores in my state, but none very near me.

It took me a long time to like her.
I've only made 1 of her recipes and did not care for it at all.
I will say though I have learned a lot of tips and tricks from her.

@loriqvc @SharkE I think Head Country (made in Ponca City OK) is THE best bbq sauce I know of. It is not syrup-like or sweet and sticky. It is a good sauce, not too hot, not too sweet, and spicy but not too much.
I just can't take that sweet, overly smoky (artifically smoke) slick and sweet sauce like so many sauces today. Head Country is especially good on a bbq chicken pizza! topped with Cilantro!
