Butter

Last night I went to see the Queen of Southern cooking, Paula Deen. She is on tour promoting her new book... "It ain't all about the Cookin'".

Things I learned:

1. Her son Bobby is single.

2. You want a perfect pound cake - add butter.

3. Paula is your cook ... not your doctor.

4. The dog Gertie, on the show the first season... not hers... belonged to Gordon Elliot.

5. If you come to see Paula talk... and decide to stand up and protest about the poor working conditions at the Smithfield plant.. you will be tossed out.. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/17/AR2007041701877.html]
