Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement

I was a semi-fan of Deen in the very beginning and did admire how she got started.....making herself wealthy and famous. Very soon thereafter she was obnoxiously "over-exposed" just like Rachel Ray and I was completely turned off. I think she came across as greedy, self-serving, sneaky and selfish in waiting years to reveal her Diabetes. Unfortunately, now, I can't even look at a picture of her in a magazine without saying to myself..."just how much fortune and fame does one actually need?" That's another "disease"...not related to butter and mayo. I totally agree with Anthony Bourdains comments. If it hadn't been" discovered "somehow that she did have Type 2 Diabetes, would she even had brought it all out in the open now? I don't think so and for this she deserves NO respect or admiration.

PAULA DEAN

I used to like Paula Deen, but then there is a thing called "overexposure" exactly like what happened with Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay and Mario Batali. Anyone who's southern accent gets heavier as the years go by is a bit of a "phoney" to me.....however she did work hard to get what she has (extremely high cholesterol) and I do commend her for that

Anyone use pumpkin (or apple sauce) and oil to replace butter?

I have only tried replacing oil with unsweetened applesauce in home-made muffins and I think they taste terrific! That goes along with adding other low calorie/and or low fat ingredients to the muffins.

Omitting Soda Pop

Once in a great while I have an ice-cold coke....which, to me, is the best beverage ever. It's a special treat....I can live without soda and find lime flavored sparkling water does it for me.....as long as I have my "bubbles"...Wal-Marts "Members Mark" key lime sparkling water is inexpensive, 0 calories and not sweet at all

What dish have you had to force down with a smile?

Zucchini in any way, shape or form.........even fried. When my best girlfriend had a good-bye party for me as I was moving back to NJ from Phoenix, she went to so much trouble to have so many foods that she thought I really liked.....fried zucchini with a marinara dipping sauce was one of the appetizers.......a HUGE tray and I am so thankfull she had 2 dogs!

Weekend Madness: Win an Autographed Copy of 'United States of Arugula'

The first time I had Arugula, I remember being surprised that "lettuce" could taste so great......this was MANY years ago and it now has some pretty serious competitors.
