It's something Homer Simpson would cook.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

He'd give it a good coating of schmalz, too.

[luzisrighthand.livejournal.com]

The peanut oil is certainly the weak point of the recipe.
Lard is so much better for frying.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Hahahah I KNOW!!

[misunderstruck.livejournal.com]

And bacon.

[racebannon42.livejournal.com]

What?
They sound delicious to me!
I mean its Paula Dean. If course she would deep fry butter. Sheesh!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I will be sure to have some around at WorldCon. I expect to watch you eat the whole batch.

[zoeiona.livejournal.com]

... that sounds thoroughly disgusting. At least it has cream cheese in it as well as butter. But still... ewww.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I know. "Well, it is cut with cream cheese...so it can't be TOO bad."

*dies*

Quick, someone press the Reset button on her! I think I can see smoke coming out of her ears!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think I need grease to make sure all the moving parts are moving...

[mashiara13.livejournal.com]

I think I just heard my arteries clogging up.

Why use cream cheese? It should be butter and more butter. And then some more butter.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Cream cheese is her way of cutting calories. ;-)

[yagathai.livejournal.com]

Oh, Paula Deen. Why is your food so delicious? Oh, right. Butter.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I thought it was the blood of infants, but butter does seem more plausible.

On a cooking board I read sometimes, PD has been called the horny, drunken grandma of the Food Network. Ouch!

[hereward77.livejournal.com]

Other recipes include "Fresh Blueberry Fried Pies" and "Deep-Fried Cheesecake". Deep-fried cheesecake? How do you people even make it to adulthood?

Now I know where all the Scots went.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

To an early grave, most likely.

Fresh Blueberry Fried Pies

[regina-of-york.livejournal.com]

Hey, if it has fruit in it, it's fairly healthy as far as PD recipes go.

[blanchemains.livejournal.com]

To be fair, that recipe doesn't happen out here in California. That's why the LA County air is such a novelty- you can get deep fried stuff that doesn't normally occur around here.

I think it's a Southern thing.

[lacyintx.livejournal.com]

So... once a person fries their buttery balls... what exactly do you do with them? I mean, if you eat them as is... wouldn't you fall down with a heart attack on the spot?

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

One would hope so. I think we need to sprinkle these puppies with powdered sugar.

[terraprime.livejournal.com]

Hey, I actually saw the show.

She didn't come up with the recipe. One of her audience sent it in and Paula picked her to come up and do the recipe together. But yes, it's butter and cream cheese, deep fried.

Rejoice.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Truly, these are the end of days.

[terraprime.livejournal.com]

Did you see her episode where she wraps bacon around pretzel sticks, bake them, then serve them dipped in ranch dressing?

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Oh my god.

She should totally wrap the whole thing with a slice of cheese pizza.

[terraprime.livejournal.com]

Yes. Cheese pizza with crust stuffed with cream-cheese-butter mixture!!!!

She didn't come up with the recipe.

[regina-of-york.livejournal.com]

So, she isn't the ultimate source of this evil, just the inspiration for it?

I'm still afraid!

although who does that to a friend?!

[regina-of-york.livejournal.com]

I refuse to suffer alone! ;-)

Re: although who does that to a friend?!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Bah!

[makotohanabi.livejournal.com]

Think I had a mini coronary just reading it.

[lany-cassandra.livejournal.com]

While butter might make some things taste better, eating it plain is just gross. (Not a huge fan of butter to begin with)


Now if she was mixing mashmellow cream and cream cheese and using it as a dip for fruit, that's a whole different story ;)

[scriva.livejournal.com]

This is crazy. Why eat pure butter (or not quite pure, mixed with cream cheese, but still)? With what kind of food do you eat those things anyway?

[terraprime.livejournal.com]

You forgo any consideration of other "food" when you embark on the treacherous journey of ingesting deep-friend cream-cheese-and-butter mixture.

[scriva.livejournal.com]

Heh, yes.

With what kind of food do you eat those things anyway?

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

A bullet.

Re: With what kind of food do you eat those things anyway?

[scriva.livejournal.com]

Aside from the typo in my comment that I didn't see before: Hahaha. Yes. I wonder if those are the same people who will only drink no-fat-milk, on the other side of the food scale, or if they believe that food without any sort of fat is an abomination.

[tenalpia.livejournal.com]

I just don't know what to say... and I come from the land of the Deep Fried Mars Bar! I have an uncontrollable urge to go and eat lots and lots of raw, fresh vegetables in an attempt to cleanse myself

[catrionamacnair.livejournal.com]

Wow. And I thought you couldn't beat Deep-Fried Pizza.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

There is yet so far to fall...

[weaklingrecords.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...you had me at "deep fried."

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

You like to live dangerously!

[limecat-lotn.livejournal.com]

The arteries. They do nothing!
