Paula Deen is trying to kill us

[MissMillie]

at least my son and I think so

she just made a baked potato (that she buttered up before she baked it

then she topped it with a mixture of chopped up fried bacon (I think she sauteed it in butter), mushrooms, heavy cream, brandy, spices and green onion.

before she poured the topper on the potato, she put about 1/4 of a stick of butter on the opened potato.

Southern Hospitality.

If she was mad at you she wouldn't let you have the mushrooms.

3. Ah, but you'll die happy!

I ate at her restaurant late in 2005. They have a buffet during lunch and I was there just as they were bringing out a new thing of mashed potatoes. I swear the melted butter was just standing on top - like water after a rain and the ground just can't soak it up.

I wanted to take a picture, but my husband said it would be tacky. :shrug:

4. Can you imagine if she and Ina Garten teamed up?

Their ultimate recipe would be:

Take an entire fried chicken and mix with three sticks of cream cheese, two pounds of butter, a large carton of sour cream, a quart of heavy cream, and a cheese cake. Enjoy!
