I love Paula Deen

The lady sure can cook. And she's funny. Being from the South, I tend to look around her website looking for a recipe or trying to remember one. (The innernetz has saved me mucho dinero on cookbooks.) She's got more ways to fix more things than a normal person could ever want!

She is of the "You can not use too much butter" cooking school of thought. I've taken a few classes there myself. An example of her funny side: the pic below is offered on her website. It's called a butter warmer. I think those things are usually designed to hold about one stick. This sucker is 1 quart! That's called "economy of size," I think.

I've been know to cook. I don't consider myself to be "A Cook." My tastes are mostly simple and very eclectic. I can "do" Greek, Italian, Tex-Mex, Cajun, Southern Fried (yes, I consider that to be a category of cuisine), Chinese and what I call A little of this a little of that and a lot of the other. (that's when I exercise my "creative side")

I've got a recipe an online friend sent me that I'm going to tackle next week. Maybe I'll write about it next week.
