Was anyone surprised by the revelation that Paula Deen has type 2 diabetes? See here and here, for example. Full disclosure here. I'm a NorthEast girl and was raised pretty agnostic in terms of regional foods/cuisines. Still, as an adult I've enjoyed learning different cooking styles, flavors and ways of preparing foods and I'm an admitted Food Network junkie. But Paula? She was not one I ever watched much (unless she was judging on a competition show). Sure, I love some Southern foods -- chicken fried steak w/gravy anyone?? -- but most of those foods are reserved for traveling to where they are local fare (although Chili's does make a pretty good version of the aforementioned steak). And I find her accent and delivery just a wee bit over the top. But I think every time I've ever seen the woman cook, I've seen her put half sticks of butter in a pan while saying jokingly that she's adding "a little". Butter and Paula are synonymous in my mind -- if someone said Paula Deen in a word association game, butter would be the word that popped out of my mouth.
