1. C'mon now how could it be anyone other than Paula??

:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

3. LOL! Who else always adds a stick o' buttah?

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

2. What, no bacon fat?

:D

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. it's one of her "low fat" offerings...I mean it's got corn in it...that's healthy, right?

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

5. Definitely.

:rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

6. Food porn

I can feel my arteries hardening just reading the damned recipe.

[grasswire]

7. hey, this is the low-cal version

No cream cheese.

[Gonzo Gardener]

8. How do you...

get that recipe to turn into a Dragon Roll? :shrug:

That dish looks divine... Wasabi on mine, please!:9

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. That's a photo I took for one of my clients...

...and yes, it tasted as good as it looked.

:-)

[Gonzo Gardener]

27. Wow...

I always wondered why you wore a toque... an explorer and a fine sushi chef, amazing!!! :silly:

[Gonzo Gardener]

34. OMG...

I was just showing your beautiful Dragon Roll to Mr. Green Meanie...

I'm. So. Embarrassed. You took the photo, you're not the chef!

Reading comprehension is out the window after a sleepless Sunday night...

x( :dunce: x(

[Amerigo Vespucci]

42. Yes...I did a Web Site for a local Japanese restaurant and I took the photo.

Hey, it was fun being a sushi chef for five minutes!

:-)

9. Watching her cook is like watching a train wreck.

Nothing she makes is any less than completely greasy and disgusting.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. You're not from the south are you?

I grew up with the food she makes, and it is wonderful and delicious. It doesn't alway SOUND that way, what with the lard and butter she puts in it, but it tastes HEAVENLY. Are you one of those people who have never had biscuits and Gravy or Chicken Fried Steak?
Duckie

[6000eliot]

16. Sorry. Vegetarian here.

That sounds like the most unappealing thing I've ever heard of. Don't mind the biscuits, but no lard, thank you.

[Blue Diadem]

38. Old fashioned biscuits used to be made with lard.

Now they are usually made with shortening, butter or in some cases oil.

[alphafemale]

10. The food slut who brings fat, wheezy, pasty tourists to clog up my city's streets.

Paula Deen.

:grr:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. What are you talking about?

Why must people speak so nastily about people they've never met based on their food choices?
Duckie

[alphafemale]

19. And you've never had to try to make a turn onto a street with 100K lbs of rotundity on the sidewalk.

Blocking the view so you can't see if you are about to get T-Boned by a Dump-Truck!

[Shakespeare]

30. Slut?

Geez.

[Gormy Cuss]

11. Guessed it on the first try.

That woman loves her dairy fat. What I don't get is why she ruined it with a box of the cheapest corn muffin mix out there.

[AlCzervik]

15. "Recipe courtesy Paula Deen" so i'll guess---Emeril?

and please, only 1 stick of butter, thats amateur hour.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

24. No, I meant "guess BEFORE you click on the thread"

:-)

[JackBeck]

17. One stick of butter is all I needed to see. n/t

[Chovexani]

35. LOL me too

I love Paula but...ya she's kinda got a "thang" for the butter. :rofl:

[Blue Diadem]

18. I doubt that's an original recipe by her, it's been around for years

I have an older fundraiser cookbook, one of those where a bunch of people get together and submit favorite recipes and then send it off to be published, copyright 1982. It's in there and it probably actually originated with Jiffy. If anything, Paul cut out the eggs that go into it. Two of them.

[Swede]

20. This recipes is just no good without stirring in 2 dozen eggs.

I just couldn't eat it.

[Blue Diadem]

26. That would be one helluva of souffle

just don't open the oven door! :rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

21. If the third ingredient were goose fat I'd say any Hungarian

But the cheddar gives it away as Paula Deen.

[trof]

22. No lard? Where's the lard?

[Arugula Latte]

23. The only person on Food Network who comes close to Paula's buttery style is this one:

Ina Garten. That woman also likes her sour cream, butter, bags of powdered sugar, cream cheese, bleu cheese, etc.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

25. Yep. She's another person that makes me say...

..."This might actually be good if you left half the ingredients out."

[Felix Mala]

28. A cook friend of mine gave me some valuable advice. She said

any recipe will taste good if you start with a pound of butter, a pint of heavy cream or 8 ounces of sour cream, etc. You could make cow pies taste good with all that stuff. The trick to good cooking is to produce tasty dishes that don't require so much fat, but taste just as good. It can be done.

[SallyMander]

29. I gained 10 pounds just watching her show once

Yuck-o!!!

[Fox Mulder]

31. Just reading that gives me chest pains.

:puke:

[MonkeyFunk]

32. Hehe...

good ol' Paula.

It's hard to criticize her - I had spaghetti carbonara the other night. The arteries are still in shock.

[Release The Hounds]

33. Paula Deen reminds me of a scene from Family Guy

The scene shows a theater marquee that says:

Hugh Grant

in

"What's My Appeal?"

[Lex]

36. Julia Child had lots of buttery, heavy-cream recipes.

nt

[ulysses]

37. yeah, I was going to say Julia.

Loved that woman.

[Lex]

40. She was the real deal.

nt

[ulysses]

41. I remember being maybe ten or eleven

and watching in complete bewilderment as she draped strands of molten sugar over a broomstick. To this day I have no idea what she was making, but the image has stuck with me.

She let me know of the existence of Jacques Pepin, too, which would be enough by itself to rate at least a kiss...

[Amerigo Vespucci]

43. Yes, I'll never forget the "How To Cut Up A Chicken" episode...

...the first one I saw. Now I know that the way to cut up a chicken is to whirl it around in the air by the legs and slam it on the cutting board.

She was the first person I know of who made cooking shows fun to watch.

[JVS]

39. Don't forget that show "Two Fat Ladies"

[GOPisEvil]

44. Paula Deen actually has an almost fat-free cheesecake recipe.
