llamalady...your choices of MEN is right on the money...I agree with your choices...isn't it a shame that men get better looking with age...and women, well we all know the answer to that question. Sometimes Paula's southern charm is just a bit tooo much and I'm from Central Texas..where charm is just quite that "charming"

I think her crust is too thick. I use only 2 cups graham crumbs with 2/3 cup melted butter. You don't have to bake it, either. Just chill it til it hardens (the butter will reharden when it gets cold). This is optional, of course, but sure helps not to turn on the oven on a hot day. Paule's filling is way too sweet, I think. I use only 2 cups powdered sugar. The rest of the cream filling is the same. Spread it on the chilled crust. I use up to 4 bananas, depends on how big they are. You want to cover the whole surface. Also, I soak them in the pineapple juice - prevents them from turning brown. Also, I lay them on the cream filling first to completely cover it, then spread on the crushed pineapple - the pineapplie is easier to spread on the bananas than on the cream. Sometimes, I also add a layer of sliced strawberries, which is totally optional. Once the Cool Whip is spread on, dot the top with maraschino cherries (drained), drizzle with a thin shocolate sauce or icing, and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Chill thoroughly. This is really pretty and is just luscious. BTW, I have a recipe for a delicious eggless cream filling using cream cheese that works with this Banana Split Cake. I use it when an egg-allergic relative is coming, and it is also good for anyone who doesn't want to eat the raw eggs in the above recipe. Let me know if you'd like me to post it. I just gained another 5# reading your recipe. LOL Marge L. |

You know what they say about opinions... ;) :lol: |
I met Paula Deen at her restaurant in Savannah. She is just as much fun in person as on TV. Loved the food at her restaurant, also. Can't wait to go back.

I'm gaining weight just reading all the recipes! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Draws it like a gun. I am southern too but holy cow it gets a little nauseating. |
I just Love Love Love Miss Paula and her recipes are fabulous

I have a few of her cook books and anything I have tries was very good but very fattening, I dont make so many of her recipes anymore ...

Like some of you, I, too, have been getting tired of Paula. She's beginning to sound insincere and fakey to me. Although it has nothing to do with her recipes/cooking, and I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I also don't like her make-up. Sometimes she looks like a clown. He eye shadow is way to intense, her false eyelashes are just too much. I think she looks unnatural - white wild hair and black-painted eyes. If you ever get to see some of her earlier shows at the beginning, her hair was always styled nicely, she hardly wore any makeup at all, certainly not that dark/bright eye makeup, and in my opinion, looked much more natural like a normal person. I also thought her behavior and general demeanor was much more believable then. I think her fame has something to do with all this, and it's a shame - none of the other female chefs are so painted up.
Also, I have been questioning her accent for quite some time, now. It seems to have become more pronounced over the years, and is much stronger than any other Southern people I have heard. Another thing, she raised 2 boys. How come they don't have the same accent she does? Usually children attain the same accents as their parents and other people in their environment. Seems really strange to me that she is so different. I think she puts it on in an effort to impress -- who? One more thing - she mispronounces so many words - doesn't anyone on the set, producers, directors, etc. think to ever correct her? Even her own son told her during one show that it is a spatula, not "spatchler". She always says "confectionate" sugar. I've never heard anyone say "oil" like she does. It's just not cute anymore. As for her food, most of what I've tried has been good, but that hasn't been too often simply because it doesn't appeal to me, or I think my own recipe is better, or I can't afford it - seafood, in particular. However, she worked herself up from nothing and I do give her loads of credit for that. She worked hard to get where she is, she is a multi-millionaire, and I am - - -not! OK, haven't said that, I'm stepping down from my soap box now. |
