1. She must be a medical miracle

I don't know how she's still alive, or at least not 900 lbs.

[lizerdbits]

8. I've wondered about that

I don't see how she could eat everything on her show on a regular basis without being triple the size she is.

[LostinVA]

22. Actually, according to her autobiography, she really eats that way, and has been since she was child

[lizerdbits]

25. I want her genes

and metabolism.

[MilesColtrane]

2. I could hear my arteries snapping shut just reading that.

But really though, why not just leave out that nasty spinach and replace it with sausage?

[Chan790]

3. does it come in a veg*n option?

Hot damn, that's like 1500% of your DRV of cholesterol and sat. fat.

[sarge43]

7. Mushrooms might work as a sub for the bacon. FWIW. n/t

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. Yep...

...my favorite cook book, my stand-by, is "The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook" (The Zoe Coulson 1980 version, not the later edition).

Her recipe for the classic Quiche Lorraine calls for the pastry, 1 tablespoon of butter, 12 bacon slices, 4 eggs, 2 cups heavy or whipping cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup shredded Swiss Cheese.

For the mushroom variant you omit the bacon and heat 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a heavy skillet and saute 1/2 pound of mushrooms and 2 tablespoons minced green onion, seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

:toast:

21. Now that sounds delicious. Thanks for posting it. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. yum...I don't care. It sounds delicious! I wish Paula would adopt

me :9 I will do the dishes, gladly :bounce:

5. My heart hurts, when I look at that.

:cry:

[sarge43]

6. Jebus, just stuff that sucker into the aorta

and save some time waiting on the heart attack.

[Tektonik]

9. I love Paula

I once made her recipe for banana pudding, and it was the best I've had:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_21275,00.html

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding

2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies
6 to 8 bananas, sliced
2 cups milk
1 (5-ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.
In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I need to make it again some time :9

[Ewellian]

10. It must be healthy

it's got spinach in it. :-)

[Fox Mulder]

11. What amazes me is that she hasn't died of a heart attack.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see that, but with all the high fat foods she makes, you have to wonder. I'm betting she doesn't eat a lot of the stuff she cooks.

[Deja Q]

18. It's a conspiracy! She wants us to eat to death!!!11!!!11!!!!12

26. It does say something about the American psyche...

...that you can pick up a magazine and find that the cover stories include Paula Deen recipes (with, they fail to mention, the attendant grams of saturated fat)...and sure-fire tips for losing weight. :eyes:

[Mezzo]

12. Okay...you all HAVE to watch this. re: Paula Deen

http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/big_gay_sketch_show_2/opinion_poll.jhtml

Click on the second icon (with the Paula Deen lookalike on there)

"14 four in the mornin's" is a running joke with me and my friends. :)


My mo has this saved in his tivo and we watch when we need a tickle.

[Tektonik]

13. A deep fried Nutella burrito would be awesome

:9

[MonkeyFunk]

15. how 'bout some deep-fried butter balls?

for real!

[IntravenousDemilo]

14. I hear Clarissa Dickson-Wright is still looking for a partner. Has she given Paula a call? n/m

[kineneb]

16. the sound you hear: arteries hardening...

and I don't mind egg dishes.

The fix for this is to replace the heavy cream w/lower-fat milk, and bacon with ham. Still tasty and not nearly as much fat.

[Deja Q]

17. How'd she get that old, eating all that pig pudding?!

:wow:

[Cannikin]

20. All things in moderation. Don't eat like that all the time and you'll be free to indulge...

without fear of an occlusion.

[Lex]

23. LOL! Have you ever seen a recipe from *JULIA CHILD* ?

same type of ingredients . . .

[csziggy]

24. I guess the spinach is supposed to make it healthy?

I make a similar quiche recipe but that amount of ingredients make two quiches for us. I substitute fat free sour cream for the heavy cream, add some minced onion, sauteed until translucent, and vary the kind of cheese - sharp cheddar is great, Italian or Mexican cheese mixtures are really interesting.

Also substitute shrimp (crab or scallops), mushrooms, cooked chicken or turkey, sometimes sausage. About a cup or so, not a pound!

I swear I can gain weight just watching Paula Deen cook - unless I laugh it off at her jokes or her over the top recipes.

[Mojambo]

27. I've never seen a photo of Paula Deen where she didn't look completely fucking deranged. n/t
