In another thread I've poked fun at Paula Deen for adding either a cup of butter, mayonnaise, or cream cheese to every recipe. But this "takes the cake":

Paula is just too much sometimes. I have a Southern accent but Paula's is sickeningly (is that a real word?) thick! I think she puts it on. It's worse than Nancy Grace's.

I have used some of her recipes, but knowing very well that they're horrible for you! (And yes, I think it did include a couple of stix of butter, tons of mayo and cream cheese!!)

I love her, but you're right.

She was pretty funny on this cooking challenge she did with Bobby Flay. She seemed to be not so fake with the accent and more herself. She got in some good jabs at Bobby over his cooking techniques. So I think the southern accent is sometimes exaggerated.

My husband loves her, though. He thinks her recipes sound like heaven!

Her show is entertaining, although she could turn down the "ya'lls" a notch. I tried making three of her recipes, which were basically inedible because of the high fat content. Just way too rich. Those muffins are like balls of pure butter. The chicken pie casserole will keep you awake all night. And the deserts are all pretty much overdone to our tastes.

This butter preoccupation leads to big problems. Does anyone remember the cookbook writer, Laurie Colgin or something like that? She wrote about eating butter balls throughout her childhood...had a fatal heart attack in her 40s. Very unusual for a woman that age.

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

I don't remember (or know) Laurie Colgin. But I have been wondering what ever happened to a cook named Nathalie Dupree (I think that was her name). I used to watch her years ago.

I love a southern accent, but Paula could not hold a candle to the late great Julia Childs. It was Julia, after all, who always thought as much wine should go into the cook as into the recipe the cook was cooking. Now that's my kind of gal! And unlike butta, vino is good for you. :clap_1:

:clap_1: Ahhh! Finally a Paula fan! Her food skeers me.

But, she so reminds me of one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. She was a neighbor, a friend of my Mom, drove carpool, and sounded just like Paula!

I love Paula Deen for so many reasons. Most of all because, when her jerk of a husband walked out and left her and the sons. She didn't get even. She got busy! What a girl! :clap_1:

I need to learn from her book of sappiness. Lady & Sons packs them in every night of the week! Wrapped around the block packed! This was way before she had her show. She's a hoot and a GRIT! ;-)

I am with you...whether you like her food or not, it is amazing what she has overcome and accomplished. Best of all, she involves her sons in her life.
