OK, I feel totally vindicated in my Popeye's pleasure now. Every time I'm in the South I indulge in one, luscious thigh.
Dinner Tonight: Pan Roasted Chicken with Olives, Capers, and Vermouth
I've been obsessed with capers lately. And, ironically, I just bought a bottle of dry vermouth the other day (my husband looked at me like, what are you doing? when he saw it in the cart), so I think I'm destined to try this one out . . . thanks!
Dinner Tonight: Creamiest White Beans with Leeks
I'll bet this would be fabulous with thin, rosy slices of pork tenderloin on top. If you didn't want to serve it completely naked, that is.

Zagat Survey Up for Sale
I think it's a great time for them to sell it to someone who can make the most of the brand. As is, it'll definitely be dropping in value in the years to come.
Trader Joe's Torture: What one thing do you have to buy?
The Trader Giotto's Three Cheese pizza . . . although lately I've been feeling a bit guilty about buying a pizza that's been imported all the way from Italy. Talk about the antithesis of buying local!

She's awesome. I just saw her present at a conference at IACP Greystone and she went on and on about these Brussels sprouts. Can't wait to get the book . . .

Cheers!

Paula likes to say, "I'm a cook......not a doctor." Her accent is completely real and there are many Southerners who sound just like her! She is a happy woman who is laughing all the way to the bank. She and her family are very generous. To see photos of them at a recent benefit for Safe Shelter (for abused women and children) in Savannah, please go to spotted.savannahnow.com and type PAULA in the search box.

You know people make fun of that type of cooking...like it's s000000 fattening , but the reality is, don't eat th whole dish! I think if you have balance you can pretty much eat and enjoy everything....(that's wy I run!!!) ..don't focus so much on Paula, focus on the many drive thrus....god knows what your eating or better yet what crawls in there and you eat it anyway!!!!!!!!!That is the stuff that really kills you! At least her food is made fresh, peole love it or she wouldn't be the success she is! Go Paula...!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. To all you haters...how about hitting the "channel" button and tuning in to another station??

there is a limit to wasting food. this isnt about being thrifty. Thrifty would havebeen maybe a banana bread pudding, and maybe simple grilled ham on the side, leave out the chips completely. better yet a grilled ham sandwich. thei is how to put together the nastiest thing possible and make people actuallly believe it might not be totaly revolting. I dont think much of Paula Deen as a cook, but as a saleswoman she is tops.

I love Paula, but I must admit that I would not give this a try. Remember though that Paula grew up in a time when times were tight and there are many recipes created just using what was available at the time...this definitely seems like one of those recipes, especially with the bread pudding influence...the idea of bread pudding was to leave nothing wasted. However, I would have to be wasted before I tried this recipe.

And after reading the other entries about her trying to kill us, she's a horrible, horrible woman! I shall have to tell my mother at once to stop watching her show and beg her NOT to cook these recipes. She's trying to kill my mother, too.

That just looks gross and doesn't really sound too appetizing either.
