I'd like to do what Paula Deen is doing . . .
Have a successful family restaurant, be on the cooking channel. I'd specialize in vegetarian gourmet cooking.
Paula Deen
I like Paula Deen very much but on the last show I saw she acted like she had had too much to drink. She made punch and she was drinking through a straw out of the punch bowl. At the same time her bird was also drinking out of the punch bowl.
Got this from Paula Deen's cookbook--
it is great but only thing I do not like is that it does not reheat well
4 c macaroni
2 c grated cheddar cheese
3 egs, beaten
1/2 c sour cream
4 T butter
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
cook and drain macaroni. combine remaining ingredients, add to macaroni. bake 30-45 minutes. top with more cheese.
I am seriously worried about Paula Deen
Every time I see her on her show, she looks bigger and bigger.
Poor lady, she is so sweet, I really like her show, but she just uses an obscene amount of butter... so so fattening. I don't see how she going to make it, eating the way she does. Yikes.
Everything she makes looks delicious but I know I can't make or eat any of it!
I saw on Paula Deen I think that they are injecting
I think it was on Paula Deen on foodtv I saw them injecting melons with vodka/liquor and I thought it was a fabulous summertime idea!!
Hey Paula
Did you see her reality show Hey Paula? It showed the last time she was on HSN and she was really "loopy", she blamed it on no sleep.
What did you think about Paula's sm
performance last night? With all her back problems she can still move.
Paula on AI
She sure can move, and she looks great, but the sound was over synthesized or whatever you call it. It's the same way Brittany Spears sings. It sounds so mechanical and robotic.
Same here; especially Paula's food...
I say to my husband it's no wonder she looks like that - look what she's making now. lol. I don't care for all that fat either. I looked up her recipes and found chicken pot pie, fried bisquits, deep fried turkey, fried cream corn!, deep fried cheesecake!, macaroni and cheese, fried empanadas with cheese dip! Do people down south really eat like that? I probably eat stuff like that twice a year.
AI Paula's outfit what did you think sm
I thought it was not appropriate for the show. I am suprised no one made a remark on the sho.
Paula Abdul on HSN now....I think she's...
intoxicated. Or is she always like that?
I only watch Paula Dean sm
She is the best. I can watch her show and not get distracted and anxiety-driven like some of the other shows. Rachel Ray drives me nuts with the way she talks with her hands, even on her talk show. Her voice is even annoying. I do like that gal from Semi-homemade, though. She's easy to watch.
Paula finally came clean
I saw on the Today show today that Paula FINALLY admitted that she was addicted to pain pills and is now clean. Duh, like we didn't know something was up even when she denied it. She does seem better this year although still annoying.
I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.
I totally love Paula Dean sm
2:30 and waited for about an hour and a half. Hubby and kids went on siteseeing and I had my son's IPod and also talked to several people in line. (btw, I went in July so it was incredibly hot) you actucally will pass a bar (depening on where you are in line) and there is a sign that says "aren't you glad you can have beer on the streets" or something like that. You can get small cups of water at the check-in window but have someone hold your place in line. I can not say that I would stand in line again. I expected the presentation to be a bit more. Food was good, but not the best I have ever had. If you don't mind waiting I sort of think it is worth it just to say you have been there. Right outside of Savannah is her brother's restaurant "Uncle Bubba's". We loved that. We didn't have reservations but only waited about 20-25 minutes. We also took a haunted tour (kids loved it) this was one that actucally toured a graveyard plus a house. We really thought is was worth it. Also, down by the river the street performers (some, not all) were really quite entertaining. Have a wonderful trip.
Don't care for Paula Dean or Rachel Ray.
I don't like the heavy type of food that Paula Dean cooks. And forgive me, but I find her voice and accent grating on my nerves. I much prefer Giada DeLaurentis. It's nice that the Food Network has such variety. There's something for everyone.
I like Paula, the media and people make up so much stuff!...nm

Exactly, I think Kara should go and Randy, Paula and Simon should stay
like it was before.
Chris will go today!
cake
Pitiful union busters. Wal-Mart offers absolutely no respect to their workers, and obviously no screening that covers use of at least understable exchange of language context and grammar...tsk, tsk.
cake
I hope that the purposeful mistakes in my last post were caught, unlike the cake that the poor lady received.
It is "understandable" and "its" with reference to Wal-Mart.
Thanks for the vent.
Carrot cake
If the recipe asked for canned pureeed carrots the canned it should be. I am sure the recipe made allowances for the salt
Wal-mart Cake
Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."
Cheeseburger cake??
I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday. Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger? what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc. I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.
THanks for your help!
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
recipe for the cake? nm

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
dumb ? but would the dry cake sm
mixture recipe work with canned pumpkin pie mix? Love pumpkin, have cans of one-pie and a can of crushed pineapple w/the cake mix. Sounds like it would be very "mush". Just thought I'd ask!

Had mine at 29. It was a piece of cake. (sm)
Had the surgery at 7:30 AM. Home by 12 PM. Doing laundry by 12:30. No pain. No complications whatsoever. 43 now and no menstrual comps.

That McNugget wedding cake
about makes me upchuck every time I see it. I am extremely grateful the political "commercials" are over though. Those were starting to wear on me and give me the same GI reaction. Really, really like the one for Hallmark with the mom trying to teach the little guy to say Merry Christmas for the audio card.
Heath bar coffee cake. YUM.
I bake and take a coffee cake to brunches or friends that is so simple and you can do a recipe search for Heath Bar Coffee Cake. I use the powdered buttermilk in the recipe and works just fine. Not complicated at all and SO good.
I looked up the hummingbird cake it looks
I have to try it after I lose these holiday pounds LOL
I had a tubal/ piece of cake sm
My husband is a big baby. I was working full time at an insurance company. I had my surgery the day after Thanksgiving. I was home by 10 AM feeding the baby (not my husband) in the high chair because my husband had to run to the store for stuff we needed. Not a big deal. Didn't hurt, woke up from anesthesia quickly.

My mom got it when she did weight watchers, but my whole family absolutely loves it, very easy to make
Angel food cake mix, mandarin oranges

the angel food cake
come from Weight Watchers, so it's good for a diet~
Wilton cake classes sm
My daughter and I took them, and it did get kind of pricey buying cake pans, pastry bags, tips, etc. It was fun, and my daughter (age 17) still enjoys decorating cakes, cupcakes, and brownies for friends. I never did master that rose!!
Nutmeg muffins, cookies, cake

tiramisu - buy a 1/4 sheet cake, freeze it
hot bed aerobics! Only problem is I've been celibate for almost 4 years now...hasn't stopped me from my tiramisu, though!! Gained 30 lbs eating it without the aerobics!!
Chocolate cake & vanilla ice cream, or
chocolate chip cookies, or pumpkin pie. OR....
ALL OF THE ABOVE!
TLR-Tyne's cake - see message below on page 2
the cake sounds like so much fun. She is going to be so excited. I wish Cupid and I could celebrate with you and Tyne! How cool is that to have that doggie shop next to you! I want to move where you are! We used to have one at the mall before I moved here in Ohio but they closed it. How did she get so spoiled? I asked myself that all the time about Cupid! LOL! She is lucky to have someone like you!
Are you okay now? Did the guy get the bat? I know exactly how you feel! I was living in NC a few years back and one night a bat flew out of nowhere through the room and Cupid and Lexi (my exboyfriend's dog) booked out of there! Luckily he came home a few minutes after and he did not believe me that there was a bat in the house,and then he went in and said oh wow, there is a bat! he tended to take what I said in one ear and out the other! Let me know how you do! Was Tyne there while you were gone?
The cake decorator put the words "underneath" sm
because someone wanted "We'll Miss You" underneath Suzanne's name. She wasn't supposed to put underneath on the cake! Plus, it's spelled wrong! LOL HAHAHAHA
I'm still working on ODing on chocolate cake -LOL nm
