Video: Paula Deen Makes 'Halloween Snakes' on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Oh, Paula. She was a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night where she made "Halloween Snakes," or Pillsbury crescent roll burritos stuffed with meat, cheese, and mustard. And olives for eyeballs, naturally. During the segment, we get to watch her drop an earring ("Oh no, my earring broke!"), twist open a Pillsbury tube (the pop gets us every time too), and make awkward double entendres about snakes. She also shared her Halloween dress-up plans—she's gonna be a fairy princess, y'all! Watch the clips.

Paula Deen to Launch a Line of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Paula Deen is "working with farmers and other food producers to come up with a line of fresh fruits and vegetables." And no, there's no butter on them. Yet. But maybe I shouldn't poke fun. Perhaps her packaged broccoli will help rushed cooks get healthy food on the table, and encourage her many fans to include a little greenery in their dinners. Would you buy Paula Deen's veggies?

[Photograph: pauladeen.com] The latest installment of McSweeney's "Short Imagined Monologues" series gives us an idea of what a pole-dancing lesson with Paula Deen might be like: OK now, you're going to grab on to your pole about head-height, swing yourselves out and WRAP your body around the pole—that's right, just wrap yourself around it like a slice of bacon 'round an ear of sweet corn. Good, y'all! Now kick up that outside leg and float around to the ground ... nice and light, just like you're folding mayonnaise into sour cream. That's it!

Mixed Review: Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Biscuits

"Paula's face smiled up at me from the packaging, her familiar gray bob frozen into place, her lips shellacked with frosted pink gloss." [Photographs: Lucy Baker] Last week, in Ed's Brooklyn Star review, Ed deemed chef Joaquin Baca's biscuits "probably the best in newly biscuit-crazed New York." This so-called biscuit craze isn't limited to the Big Apple: all over the country people are harkening back to a time when food was simple, unfussy, and honest. Out with the fusion and small plates, in with the fried chicken and family-style menus. It's no wonder then that the humble biscuit is having a renaissance. Is there a more modest, straightforward food out there? I don't think so. Of course, biscuits are a...

Video: Paula Deen Making Pumpkin Rolls with Conan O'Brien

Paula Deen was on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night, trying to show Conan, Andy, and guest Garry Shandling how to make pumpkin rolls from her new book, Paula Deen's Cookbook for the Lunch-Box Set. It was a mess of a performance, as the three boys tried to follow her frazzled directions (which included such orders as "grab your nuts!"). By the end of it, Conan was downing Kahlua straight from the bottle and Paula was chugging back whipped cream straight from the can. Watch the video, after the jump....
