Just just What Paula Deen is truly Like (My with her day)

A months that are few we drove down seriously to Savannah, Georgia to expend the afternoon shooting with Paula Deen. We’d a time that is wonderful we found her kitchen area to be probably one of the most comfortable spaces I’ve ever held it’s place in. The Episode we filmed airs this on the Food Network (click here to read times and please RSVP if you plan on watching) saturday.

What exactly is Paula Deen like? Well she’s just like you’d think she actually is. She actually is gracious, sort, and absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. This really is a hot hearted Mama that is southern and into the core. She actually is a large individual, heaping praise and many many thanks on all those around her. She made me feel therefore welcome therefore we discussed our grandmothers, life when you look at the days that are old as well as the joys of having to be considered a Mama.

Now i do want to let you know about her men. They certainly were both here, these people were both because friendly as could possibly be, and so they had been both so well mannered. I prepared with Bobby regarding the show therefore we possessed a excellent time. That kid will make a tree stump laugh! However the thing that is main impressed me personally along with her males had been that when all of them left, they went around to significantly more than twenty people of the manufacturing crew and thanked every one of them by title and provided them each a hug. That talks volumes into the type or form of individuals they truly are and exactly how they certainly were raised. I usually believe that my behavior is just a representation on my mother therefore I do my most useful each day to be always a credit to her. Bobby and Jamie surely are.

We took my heirloom rolling pin to used in the recipe we ready of my Mama Reed’s Nilla Wafer Cake and I additionally also brought along some green stamps, tea cups which used to be peanut butter jars (like my Mama Reed used) and an advertising for the peanut butter which had also come in them. We enjoyed chatting about them while we were filming.

The thing that is funny, you know how Southerners actually don’t hear our personal accents? Paula stated my Alabama accent made her sound just like a yankee!

Everyone knows that is not true nonetheless it had been nevertheless funny to know.

Therefore yesterday on my Facebook page I asked if anybody had any certain concerns about my shooting with Paula and y’all arrived up with some good ones! Most are much more intense plus some lighthearted. I’ll do my better to answer them below. I didn’t respond to those that desired me to inquire of Paula a concern because I’m afraid We won’t be speaking along with her before the show, and I also left down some that ended up being duplicates (A lot of us wish to know a similar thing – but is not that constantly the way with household?).

April – just how many sticks of Butter did ya’ll make use of through the show?

I do believe three but perhaps four. In terms of my component on it, one.

Charles- Carol and I also will likely be consuming at her devote Tunica week that is next. Any meals that are free?

It costs a lot of cash in order to be Paula Deen that without a bit of reservation– I can promise you. We consumed at her restaurant in Savannah and while used to do ask her producer to obtain me personally a dining table here, We gladly paid a high price for my dinner and will have never ever imagined permitting her cover it.

Glenda – Will you be on the cooking show?

Yes. This Saturday. This is actually the website link on Food Network’s web site.

We won’t be viewing it whenever it airs however, We have a meeting within my kid’s school therefore let y’all see i’ll it first.

Ally- just How did she get her courage to conquer Agoraphobia? Ended up being it a strictly “mind over matter thing that is?

We actually chatted about this during filming. I’m unsure into the show if it will make it. We have actuallyn’t heard of episode and really don’t have any idea exactly just what it offers.

Her overcoming that is especially impressive knowing what all she’s to go through in public nowadays. I believe I’d be hiding in a hole…

Donna– exactly just How made it happen feel to stay in the ongoing business of somebody which have experienced what you are actually now dealing with? Do you state like her?” Is she as wholesome as she seems on tv“ I wanna be just?

Donna, the nail is hit by you from the mind. We felt that I can never speak about because folks wouldn’t understand like I was with someone who understands so much of what my life is like now, things. The funny thing is when I happened to be finally with a person who comprehended it, i did son’t also have to explore all the things I’ve experienced on my journey. It had been simply good being with anyone who has traveled the road.

Because far as me attempting to end up like her, We have absolutely nothing but respect and admiration for Paula, both for the road she’s traveled and for the character and grace she’s maintained through it all. But I’ve never ever aspired to be like any person that is earthly than my mom. In terms of being similar to my Mama, I’ve nevertheless got an extended solution to get :).

Paula Deen does not put in any airs. This woman is just who she presents herself become.
