Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us: The Thanksgiving Special
Is your Thanksgiving menu low on hardcore, gut-busting, gluttonous dishes? Let Paula Deen be your guide! While searching the recipes on her website, we came across some eye-opening gems. You know, dishes that are probably delicious but we're hesitant to make because they might immediately block major arteries upon contact with our lips. Here are some of our favorites that reinforce our love for Paula:
- Deep-Fried Stuffing on a Stick: Because everything is better deep-fried on a stick.
- Deep-Fried Cranberry Sauce Fritters: You know, this sounds like it could be good. Semi-molten cranberry sauce in a crispy crust, anyone?
- Roasted Turkey with Fried Pecan-Bourbon Glaze: This is what your turkey has been missing all these years: fried pecan-bourbon glaze.
- Piggy Pudding: Great name for this combination of cornbread, apples, and sausage.
- Fried Pumpkin Layer Cake with Cream Cheese and Orange Frosting : Anything that involves two layers of battered and deep-fried pumpkin cake has to be good.

So much of this just seems disgusting. It's like a lot of her stuff though, really high fat and high calorie. Sounds delicious, comfort food, kind of food, until you read the recipie or see her on t.v. so much butter, cream and oil, I'm not sure weather to have a heart attack or gain 10 lbs upon reading?

I hadn't watched FN for awhile. I saw her today doing these horrible sweet potato balls with a marshmallow in the center and other T-Day foods, but I noticed that she has lost a lot of weight. I don't think she's eating all the food she demonstrates. I do love her personality when it's just her and the camera and cooking in her kitchen, with nobody to molest. ;0

Piggy pudding doesn't look terribly unhealthy, especially when stacked up against the other deep-fried stuff. But I'm not sure about frying a cake - I like my desserts not to be greasy.

The deep fried cake is a joke, right? Someone tell me that's a joke. Please. I'm holding out hope that it's a joke like the deep fried butter.
(can they have fried cranberry sauce on a stick at the state fair, though? That sounds frighteningly awesome.)

The fried cranberry sauce and fried stuffing just don't sound appealing. Actually, they sound terrifying. I love cranberry sauce and stuffing, don't get me wrong, but the old "Everything tastes better fried" seems wrong here.

Tonight Paula's show was a rerun from 2005. Tudurken. I kept thinking ...make it go away, make it go away. I do not believe that her family eats this stuff all the time.
Anymore watching Paula is like Fear Factor-Foodie Edition.
JerzeeTomato at 7:59PM on 11/23/08
YES. Unabashedly a fan.
Christina at 8:45PM on 11/23/08
I like Paula - on her own. "Paula's Party"? She's a total ass on that show.
BITTER at 9:37PM on 11/23/08
@BITTER -- I agree.
IndyGal at 9:59PM on 11/23/08
I'd rather die by Paula Deen's hand than Sandra Lee's. At least Paula's food has taste.
BITTER at 10:50PM on 11/23/08
I dunno, Bitter, with Sandra you're guaranteed a cocktail before you go.

I'm definitely in the Rather-Die-By-Paula camp. If I die by Sandra, my body won't need embalming ... the preservatives from the junk she uses will do it.

Never watch the show (the station come to that) but I LOVE this series and its title! I was wondering what happened to it...poor, little fried cranberries...HAH!

She is indeed trying to kill us. No doubt about it. Thanks, Robs.

One night I was watching Paula's Party and was about to comment on her behavior -- until I realized that I've been known to behave in much the same way, if I've had enough alchohol. Maybe it's a Capricorn thing -- I was born on her birthday.
IndyGal at 9:07AM on 11/24/08
Sign me up for the "Rather-Die-By-Paula" camp as well. Maybe if someone deep-fried Sandra's table scapes it would make them better!

SE needs to do more "Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us" (henceforth known as PDITTKU) posts. I dare say that a weekly feature wouldn't be enough to cover the breadth of artery-clogging recipes in her repertoire.

I really thought she was telling her viewers to add BACON powder to biscuits.

SLop's tablenightmares are not food. Maybe we should email campaign to move her over to FLN. Where she can fintastic and scoop out pumpkin pies with Green Emeril. I think Paula is a hoot, but her food is a bit over the top for our crowd.
JerzeeTomato at 11:52AM on 11/24/08
Paula Deen is bullshit, no matter how you slice it, but I'd rather see her poisoning rich white folks than screwing poor brown folks.

If you like the deep-fried pumpkin cake idea, then you definitely missed the episode with the even better wonton wrapped, chocolate stuffed, sugar dusted, deep fried white chocolate cheesecake...
amaLosAngeles at 1:29PM on 11/24/08
I saw her make those deep fried stuffing things last year and it looks exactly like turd on a stick. Yergh.
mschlock at 1:30PM on 11/24/08
Don't listen to them, Paula! Keep frying cake!!!
ReneeRobinson at 3:19PM on 11/24/08
Oh, come ON, does everything really need to be fried? It's cake, for god's sake - it's already a fat and sugar bomb.
piccola at 9:35PM on 11/24/08
i dont know what regular people talk about with their boyfriends, but we talk about how terrifying paula deen is. my bf: "she reminds me of Medusa. like her hair is just going to suddenly turn into these buttery tentacles and her eyes into searing pools of fried bacon."
