Paula Deen's cooking with Velveeta!!

[supernova]

:D :rofl:

She didn't say Velveeta™ of course; she called it a "soft cheese product!"

She's making a broccoli and cheese casserole. I found it funny she would say "soft cheese prodcut." :D

[derby378]

1. Kraft's lawyers would probably demand a cut of the take

BTW, who's Paula Dean? Any relation to Howard?

[supernova]

3. She's on Food TV

She has her own show and is only slightly less ubiquitous than Rachel Ray. And far less annoying.

[purr]

2. Its Deen!!! :)

I love her - shes great!

[supernova]

4. You are correct

I had a brainfart. :P :-)

[purr]

5. excuse yourself then!!

:P

[supernova]

6. Excuse me!

:D Better now?

[purr]

7. Much :)

10. Hey

No evil smilies first thing in the morning! :P

[GOPisEvil]

8. Take a stick o' butter...

:D

[supernova]

9. Oh,. must be butter!

None of that fake margerine stuff or that newfangled Benecol. :D

[GOPisEvil]

11. I have to admit that sometimes...I make queso with Velveeta.

:blush: I'm not proud, but dammit, it's just so quick and easy...My preference is real cheese, but sometimes...:hide:

[djeseru]

12. Well, yeah...

...you'd need Velveeta to go with the Ro-tel. Any Texan knows that. :P



Now I'm craving queso...

[GOPisEvil]

13. You are my kinda woman...

Velveeta and Rotel...:9

Man...Kerbey Lane Queso...:9:9:9:9

[djeseru]

14. I can tell you how to make it...

...but I never eat it! :rofl:


And, yet another Austin locale I've driven by a thirty-eleven million times and have never stopped to check it out...

[GOPisEvil]

15. You never eat it?

:rofl:

Kerbey's is good stuff. Their pancakes are to die for, and their queso is the stuff of legend. You can buy some to take home as well. :9

Thirty-eleven is my new favorite phrase...:rofl:

[djeseru]

16. I'm trying to fit into size 0 clothes.

:rofl:

No, I made up a batch to watch the other half of the Super Bowl a few weeks ago.

Yum, pancakes...I can never get enough pancakes. :9

[GOPisEvil]

17. Come on, shoot for the 00!!

:rofl:

I'm sensing the formulation of a plan...;)

[djeseru]

20. Well, only if you like hugging brooms.

:rofl:

Plan? I'm always the last to figure it out...

[GOPisEvil]

22. lmao!!!

No brooms thanks...I like a little more softness. :rofl:

Well...just saying that a trip to Kerbey's might be in our future...they serve pancakes all day. ;)

26. American cheese will usually melt down mixed w/ milk or water

Either get a double boiler or proceed more carefully in a normal pan. Shred the cheese ahead of time if you are using a non sliced loaf or chunk all though using otherwise small pieces could work too. Using half as much milk as cheese should work but add more milk if it isn't melting nicely. Stir often. If you are adding other ingredients, don't do that until the cheese is melted and mixed. Don't leave it on the heat too long with the other ingredients either.
I don't know if microwaving works.

18. Paula Deen is a soft cheese product.

I mean that in a nice way, of course. The cheesy bits are the best parts of her shows. ;)

[redwitch]

19. fellow DUer amerikat makes the world's best scalloped potatoes

and of course he uses only the finest ingredients- Velveeta!

[djeseru]

21. redwitch!!!

I was just thinking of you last night - I was hoping you're feeling better! :hi:

[redwitch]

24. Aren't you sweet!

I am feeling better thanks. I honestly can't sing the praises of Airborne enough. Stuff works like magic. Colds usually knock me out forever, end in bronchitis, really bad URIs. Not anymore. It may also be one of the added benefits of quitting smoking- which I did in November. Whatever, I am thrilled to have health! :bounce:

P.S. Perhaps it was good DU vibes that put the kibosh on my cold?

[djeseru]

27. Great to hear!

Colds usually sideline me for ages it feels like too - I'm definitely sold on the Airborne now myself. :thumbsup:

Oh my yes - I'm a firm believer in DU Lounge karma these days as well!

[Deja Q]

23. Man, her sons can melt my velveeta anytime!

Or is it 'harden it'? Oh well! :rofl:

Man, too much wine in the morning...

[supernova]

25. Ha. Me too!

They are both such well-mannered dolls.

Please tell me you're not drinking this early. :hug:
