Why I think Paula Deen is Trolling Us All
Enemy of the month (and it's only just started): Paula Deen.You see, yesterday I was doing homework, and spacing as usual, so I went to my trusty Hulu account for some background noise - old Family Guy episodes that I know by heart are usually pretty good for that. This time, though, I decided instead on a bunch of Paula Deen shorts with her recipes. I made it a little game to see if even one of her recipes was without butter and/or cream and/or heavy cream and/or o'l (oil to the rest of us). I understand that you need a trace amount of any of those things to cook- a little oil for the pan, or a little butter to facilitate the grilled-ness of your grilled cheese. But the woman uses tablespoons of butter at a time.
Pictured: Elvis Presley fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches (which she advocated using as after-school snacks for children) and pumpkin soufflé pancake (using lots of butter, heavy cream, and sugar)
"If y'all will excuse me for a minute, I'ma finish makin' love to my tater." - Paula Deen.She couldn't do it. Not a single one of the recipes I saw didn't use one of those things in sickening amounts.
Mmmm buttah, om nom. It's so good, y'all!She even modified recipes that didn't need butter at all just to add butter to them. Tablespoons and tablespoons of it.
Pictured: Paula Deen's BFF.Paula's response to this?: My first reaction was to kinda cut your arm off and throw it in my pot, that butter looked so good and so real.
Oh, Paula. No one else could have gotten away with a statement that contained "cut your arm off and throw it in my pot."
Oh, girl! I just wanted to kinda cut your arm off! LOL!And then there was the incident when some dude ASSAULTED HER WITH A HAM. Under the cover of "playing ham football?" Shady times.
Paula's been on Woman's World- a magazine known for having a different diet on the cover every week.
She's even been immortalized in a lolcat.
Paula has carefully cultivated her image and exploited her particular brand of butter-consumption...I mean, cooking, and it has led her to be somewhat of a cult icon. She will be forever known for the words "butter" and "y'all." Everyone talks about how ridiculous she is, and yet she's making metric tons of money. And you know what? That's a smart move. You go, Paula. I still hate your guts.
All hail Paula Deen, our Butter Queen.
What do you think about Paula? Who is your favorite Food Network Star?

I freaking love Paula Deen so much. She reminds me of my aunt that's from backwoods Kentucky xD In a good way!
HAHAHA.
Thank you.
Her accent makes me gag.
Give me intelligent sounding Alton Brown any day :)
that's her schtick.
i heart paula.
ugh, i do not like her

I hope that ireallylike food doesn't turn into another lovelyish and start hating every celebrity under the sun. Ugh. Btw, I love her!
lolz
My favorite Food Network star is Giada de Laurentiis. i like her because she usually tries to make healthy dishes, or healthier alternatives, and she also frequently does vegetarian or vegan dishes. Plus i think she's classy and pretty. :) i've just always really liked her.
she looks crazy.
I love her! Would I dare eat most things she makes? Absolutely not, but hell, people do.
I do love her Monster Cookies though. I make them all the time. Yup, tons of putter, peanut butter, and chocolate!
Super duper congrats :DDD
what exactly are we DISCUSSING here again?
paula deen is a vampire.
reasoning?
50+ years of fat consumption -> every artery clogged -> blood flow ceases -> vampirism
I love Paula, as well as Ina Garten and Sunny What-her-face. I love them all! But then again, I am a fat chick that loves to cook.
My fav? Number one is fucking Alton Brown. I remember last year, I would watch Good Eats and think, Damn. That is one SEXY man. XD I'm such a dork! :)
Honestly, It is about time someone besides my wife agreed with me on this topic. Am I the only one who seems to think that she is not the one actually cooking this stuff up either? Seriously, she is loosing weight, has been for years. All the while, she is still claiming to eat BERT'S MOUNTAIN 'O BUTTER. I am sorry I do not believe there is enough cardio in Hollywood to make up for that amount of liquid death. Just think, if she is feeding you something she has not eaten, who is to say it is not rat poison waiting to infect you all. Then there is the fact that she is clearly not from "ALL-BEENY" I do not care what Wikipedia told you lol. I live about an hour down the road from that place. She is still the only person who I have EVER heard call it that .
I made her peach cobbler, which only one required one stick of butter, shockingly. And no cream.
lol i hate her. every time i see her face on the cover of a magazine i wanna run far far away. She's got this look in her eye like she's gunna eat me, too.
& that smile..... ::shudders::
O.o
@NightCometh@xanga - What's wrong with a southern accent? I don't like Alton..he sounds kind of snobby...
aw..I like Paula. & what the hell's wrong with lots of butter & cream? Butter makes everything taste good =)
People are odd these days...
@noPrinceCharming@datingish - I know! Butter makes everything yummy, sometimes with the addition of sugar! I noticed that she loves cream cheese, mayonnaise and potatoes, too!
I love watching Paula Deen, she makes me smile with her comments and carefree way of loving life. The cook on Food Network whose food I'd mostly likely cook like would be Ina Garten, it's simple and elegant. (Most of the time.) I love watching Tyler Florence (bring back Food 911!) and Alton Brown as well.
Paula Deen is all right, but I love Giada deLaurentis so much more. She seems to be more wholesome and she knows what she's doing.
She is an absolute creep! And totally stalks me everywhere I go with her freaky pictures and butter.
In a fight between the Twilight vampires, Spongebob, and Paula Deen, I'm pretty sure Paula Deen would win. She'd drown everyone in butter.
All I am saying is that there is no way on earth she is eating what she is acting like she is cooking. Had this been otherwise I might not have been to up front about her. As for her accent. I say this again. I am from the region she claims to be from... I have NEVER heard anyone speak in her manner... StrictlyHollywood.
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - zomg. so stupid. JUST NOW just noticed you plugged me! I just noticed my footprint number was lots higher than it shouldve been and i was like wth? hahahaha
@Dungeonbrownies@xanga - Haha, :)
