Better the next day
Meatloaf. I usually cook it, let it cool and throw it in the fridge. Next day cut a thick cold slice and put it in a hot non-stick pan and fry it up quick with cheese and make a sandwich with it. whew....that is the best way to eat it.
Alternative BBQ salads
How about "swamp salad". Excellent in the summer!!
Here is the recipe
link http://www.raspberryworld.com/recipes/swamp.html
Swamp Salad
Serves 25 (you can cut back on this recipe for fewer)
Although I live in Connecticut now, I originally came from the deep south - Valdosta, Georgia to be specific. If you've ever driven to Florida on I-75, you passed through Valdosta right before you hit the Florida line. What we've got down there is spanish moss, azaleas, the best high school football in the USA, and swamps. This summertime salad recipe is direct from Ocean Pond, a great southern restaurant. (I also have the version that serves 200, if you're having a crowd . . . just write me email and I'll send it to you.)
Ingredients:
* 5 pounds tomatoes (fresh summer tomatoes only!), sliced or quartered to fit saltines
* 2 1/2 pounds sweet white onions (Vidalia), cut small
* 1 1/2 quarts hamburger dill chips, undrained
* 1 quart cider vinegar
* 1 pound brown sugar
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 pound box saltines
* 1 or 2 blocks cheddar cheese, cut in pieces
Method
1. Heat together cider vinegar and brown sugar to melt sugar. Cool.
2. Mix together tomatoes, onions, pickles, and vinegar/sugar mixture in a LARGE bowl. Add salt and pepper.
3. Allow salad to stand 30 minutes. Add ice cubes to keep crisp.
4. Serve with saltines and cheese squares.
Question of the Day: What's the 'J' on your PBJ?
Raspberry if nothing else. But, gotta agree with bestmedicine - Hot pepper jelly! Incredible with homemade wheat bread and CHUNKY peanut butter. Also like mint jelly sometimes in the winter.

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I grew up here in the deep south (still live here) and some of the stuff she makes grosses even me out.
Southern cooking does have a good bit of regional variation (coastal, piedmont, etc) but she is on this big butter, cream, egg and butter kick that spoils some really good dishes and seems to be making up stuff.
I have NEVER heard of this dish. I can do a LOT of fried stuff but this is crazy.
Fried butter.....what is the point? I can't taste good unless you are eating butter out of the fridge with a spoon at night.

Question of the Day: What's the 'J' on your PBJ?
Raspberry if nothing else. But, gotta agree with bestmedicine - Hot pepper jelly! Incredible with homemade wheat bread and CHUNKY peanut butter. Also like mint jelly sometimes in the winter.
Question of the Day: What's the worst meal someone's ever cooked for you?
an old people dinner at some relatives that you had to eat. Iceberg salad with canned beets and olives served with a french dressing. main course is a blur (my memory tries to forget) but consisted of soggy overcooked greenbeans with fake salt, watery mashed potatoes with fake butter, burnt canned cresent rolls, and overcooked no seasoned dried out baked white fish. But desert was the kicker. Lime jello with green olives mixed in and a big spoon of miracle wrip on top.
ok, now i have grossed myself out with that memory.....
Question of the Day: Other people say it's 'gross,' but you love it. What is it?
natural crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam and sour cream on toasted whole wheat bread.....yum.
Question of the Day: Oink, oink! How Do You Do Pork?
Pulled pork bbq sandwich with a side of spicy hot pork rinds and an ice cold beer!..mmmm.......now i'm hungry!
Krispy Kreme Now in Japan
Uhmmmmmm....Krispy Kreme. The best donut EVER!
Question of the Day: Carolina or Kansas City barbecue?
Being a Pan-Southerner who has tried almost all kinds of 'que (including my vegan phase and my special tofu 'que....) I must say I feel that each regional variation must be judge within its own confines. It is fine to compare what is the best place that serves that style of bbq (carolina, texas, memphis, kc etc) but I do not even try to rate which style or region is the 'best". I love them all for their own uniqueness. Some days I want that vinegary pulled pork sandwich, some days a dry rubbed rib, or a texas brisket sandwich, or a thick KC sauced up sliced beef. And horrors of horrors I sometimes have TWO Regional styles at the same time and enjoy both for just being what they are.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Its real and its here... (as disgusting as it is)
Paula's Fried Butter Balls
2 sticks butter
2 ounces cream cheese
Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying
Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.
When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Full recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/paulas-fried-butter-balls-recipe/index.html
Whats the difference between this recipe and deep fried mozarella or deep frying whole turkeys or chickens (before baking) or even Krispy Kremes which are deep fried TWICE?? All of which I cannot stomach.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
you people really need to get a grip.. its not like shes forcing you to eat any of her foods and she will tell you herself that she puts a lot of butter in her food.. i mean seriously butter and cream cheese isn't half as bad as deep fried ice cream or deep fried candy bars and twinkies.. and yes people really do fry these things or how bout Duck Confit (sp?) which is duck boiled and or baked covered in duck fat..lol fatty unhealthy recipes have been around forever, its up to us to learn self control and portion control..lol
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
people seriously...butter mixed with cream cheese isn't that crazy...if any of you have ever eaten cheesecake..guess what? its got both butter and cream cheese..only thing not there is the deep frying that paula added! :)
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
It's hard to watch Paula Deen when she is making a dish or chicken soup.
Whatever the recipe is, I have trouble getting thru her programs. No. 1 She talks over making the food and her spittal goes right into the food! Yuck!
It is not professional at all. No. 2 she tastes everything with the spoon or
fork she is using. So gross! She does not show great hygine when cooking. Her dna is going into everything she makes when talking over preparations. I would not want to eat anything she makes! At least talk
away from the dish being prepared and don't touch the dog, or your hair.
Never put the dish cloth over your shoulders either...all that hair and who know what else sitting on the shoulders. Totally grosses me right out!
Hope she takes some advice and changes many of her way's!!!
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I have been eating for close to 5 years a low carb diet. I eat tons of fat, butter, eggs, red meat, pork chops, veges galore. Have not eaten one bite of sugar, flour, rice, bread in this entire time. Not one cheat. I am not over weight, I am very healthy. So you roll your eyes and say, Wow her cholesterol must be very high. Not so. I recently had my cholesterol checked and was told they could be framed and put on a wall as being ideal. Fat is not the evil it is combining fat with high carbs that cause great problems. No I will not eat deep fried butter balls not because it is butter but because it has bread crumbs in the recipe. I love Paula, I love the South and I love southern cooking just the low carb way.

@sarahstephking: You're right. I think we may close this thread. There's not really much more to say here.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Didn't read the article. Oops!
But, after reading some of these posts, I am not sure a lot of other people have either.
There is a lot of truly sounding negativity on Paula and on Southern food in general!
This food is not meant to be eaten everyday!
But, neither is fast food, junk food, or any other high-calorie foods.
I am not sure that a lot of people that posted are getting the joke either.
Some of the posts come off as down right mean!
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
@sarahstephking: THE PDITTKU series is a bit of a running gag on SE. We sort of grudgingly love and respect Ms. Dean for her over-the-top-ness.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
What is wrong with you people? Live a little!!!
Paula Deen makes homestyle cooking. What is up with these post of where can I find Creme Fraise or other European products?
You live in America don't you!!!
Eat American and shut up.
What is wrong with a lady cooking on tv?
You are all way to analytical and judgemental.
Quit sucking the happiness out of life.

This is such a problem with humanity. Judging always judging others.
No one can kill you with food without your permission!
I eat a low fat diet, that is my choice. I absolutely love watching Paula Dean. She is wonderful and fun loving person. I find myself smiling and laughing when she is on tv.
Paula so loves to cook and she loves to eat her high fat recipes.
I induldge myself by watching her eat it. She makes recipes that SHE LOVES. When I am interested in a dessert, I modify it.......hello you can subsitue heavy cream for milk etc. Don't accuse her of killing you, I'm sick of people that blame others for their health issues. Paula Dean eats what she loves to eat and if you don't like it OH you can change the channel.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I love Paula Deen. She is one of my heros. She is comfort. She reminds me of what my what my mother did in her kitchen all of her life. My mom lived to be 94. My dad till he ws 89 when a drug taking driver killed him. If you don't like the way she cooks or what she cooks, don't listen to her. You've got a remote control, use it. "Lettuce" not forget that you've got a choice.....
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I love Paula! She is a genuine and caring person. If you are "grossed" out by what she is preparing, or with receipies she's sharing with us, don't watch or prepare her food. Simple as that. Why put yourself thru all that?
Keep up the great work Paula!
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I have seen Paula at numerous events and parties and she is genuinely vivacious and her accent is real. She talks, laughs, and flirts with everybody. Don't be a hater!
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Come on people. Fat(s) are not the problem, except for trans fats. If your liver and gall bladder are working properly you can easily digest the fat.
The problem with this is the calories, if you are counting such things. A little butter-ball (not the turkey) every now and then is good for the soul.
(The gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ on the underside of the liver that is used to store bile. Bile is made in the liver and is stored in the gall bladder until it is needed to help the digestion of fat.)
The sun rises and sets on more than your opinions.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Hey flooky.. you might want to consider adding a little fat to your diet. Maybe then you wouldn't be such a snarky old bat. You said Paula makes you want to vomit... as much as being fat disgusts you, vomiting probably comes easy to you. You are such an opinionated, rude moron. If you don't like Paula, turn off the t.v. and go vomit your tofu up.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
This woman makes me want to vomit. I swear to god they turn up her mic the second she starts tasting the food and makes the most disgusting sounds while eating. I do not want to hear a fat person breath heavily and smack there food around their blubbery gullets in restaurants and I sure as hell don't want to hear big mama butter balls over there do it on tv. Her food is gross, disgusting, and vile. It makes my mother's reeses cups addiction seem like a healthy diet. Jesus Christ. I don't care how humble and jolly this bitch is. She should have never gotten a tv show.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
now i usually try to eat healthy, and like most healthy eaters i have my days where i dont stress about it and eat fattier foods...but BUTTER BALLS!?!? I can never get through 5 minutes of Paula's show without changing the channel in disgust(this goes for Emeril too) America is the fattest country in the world and with people like paula and emeril proliferating our TV screens i can see why.
i just think its sad that gut busting chefs get prime time spots while healthy chef's (Ellie Kriegr) get crappy time slots
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Alright people...first, yes it is true Paula's son Bobby joked about the "deep-friend butter" on her Chefography episode, however it wasn't any member of the family that came up with the recipe, it was a loyal fan and viewer. This viewer showed Paula how to make the recipe on her show "Paula's Party," where even Paula exclaimed "THIS IS SICK!" LOL. Ok, so that bit is square away...
Next, everyone that is complaining about Paula's use of REAL ingredients such as butter, whole milk, cream, eggs, etc...that is how humans have been eating for many centuries and they survived just fine. We were not meant to eat or grow accustomed to the "partially hydrogenated," heavily preserved, artificial, genetically modified, altered and manipulated, processed and high-sodium monstrosities we consume now. It isn't natural, and that's why Type II Diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other such uglies have taken hold of our present world and RUN with us!
Lastly, I highly doubt anyone does eat like that on a daily basis, including Ms. Deen and her family, and it would be quite silly to assume they do! And as far as her TV persona, HELLO, it's purpose is for entertainment and the woman is doing her job...and well. Obviously, or you all wouldn't feel the need to discuss her to this degree. She overcame a lot and is now being blessed with success and happiness. I admire her for it.
Ok, now I'm done...lol.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
So what? No one is forcing you to make it and eat it. Its not harmful to eat things like this once in awhile, and in moderation. If you don't like her, don't watch her. RELAX. Besides butter is PURE FAT already anyway. Aren't there more important things in the world to b**ch about?
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Dean: "I'm gettin' fatter by the day. I just hate my arterae. I'll plug 'em up and make 'em die, 'cause everything I eat is fried."
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
As a Southern belle, born and bred, and having lived in Georgia for 45 years, I have to say that everyone in my family agrees that Paula puts on a lot of that drawl. In all my years I have never heard ANYONE talk like she does, unless they are parodying ignorant Southerners. But hey, it seems to be getting her what she wants - lots of attention.
As for her recipes, they too are mostly for show. Southerners know about serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and diabetes. Yes, we have regional favorites, but they wouldn't make Yankees gawk and watch a show. Folks, "that's entertainment," I suppose.
For a true slice of Southern cuisine, please pick up a copy of Southern Living magazine or one of their cookbooks. For a funnier parody of Southern rednecks, watch reruns of "HeeHaw."
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Do some of you people just watch these shows because you've run out of everyday things in your lives to "crab" about. I agree with "turn the channel" I'm a Paula fan, no I don't fix everything she creates. She is pure entertainment though. And.... which one of you are such a perfect specimen of human figure that you feel the need to even comment on the physical features of another human being? Your jealous the women is successful while seeming to enjoy life. Get over it. Cook her recipes or don't. Watch her show, or don't. Get your own life, you might be happier.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
As a "healthy cook" I watch what we eat and prepare things in the healthiest possible way, but this weekend at the farmer's market I was attacked by a memory of my Mother and Grandmother and those amazing vegetable suppers they made in the summer. The idea that vegetables should be steamed and crisp was anathema to those ladies and I got a craving for green beans and new potatoes ( used Paula Deen's recipe cause I didn't write down my Mother's) with salt pork and bacon grease (yes I had to go locate those things in the grocery store!), sliced tomatoes, squash casserole ( with butter and cracker crumbs and cheese...lots of cheese), maninated cucumbers and onions, icy cold watermelon and cantaloupe. Today I have huge guilt that I did it and am headed to the gym to do penance, but OMG it was good!
