Maybe you didn't need a side of butter with that, Paula...

Well in recent news, Paula Deen has been diagnosed with diabetes. Which leads us to ask the question, "did you really need all that butter on the cookies you put on top of the pot pie as the side dish to your turducken?!"

no, no you did not.

how many sticks of butter can you spot?  

Now make no mistake, I love sweets, fats, and butter as much as the next person but in a moderate amount.  But when you are known for saying you need more "butta,"  diabetes really can't be that big of a surprise.

Maybe everyone is blown away by the fact that she has known about being a diabetic for a few years and has continued to sell, cook, and consume grandiose amounts of saturated fats.

o well, you can only live once... although Paula's might be cut short...



So yes, the mighty lady of the south, master of butter, and silver-haired magistrate of the culinary world has diabetes.  And I would bet that Guy, Rachel, and the Neely's aren't too far away either.

Lesson here is that you probably should have a little butter on your bread and not a little bread with your butter.  Fruits should be part of your diet.  And veggies soaked in oil and fats doesn't count as healthy.

But you know what?  That lady can cook!  And she has an incredibly personable southern accent to go with it.

love eating at Paula's The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah! 

So cheers to you, Paula!  May you control your diabetes, and maybe lighten up on the butter...
