Paula Deen
November 29th, 2006
Recently, Paula Deen was in Oxford, Mississippi, at the famous Square Books to sign copies of her new cookbook, Paula Deen Celebrates. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go because of my work schedule, but my sister made the short trip and procured a signed book for both of us.
There were about 500 people there to see Paula in the span of two hours, so there wasn’t much time for chatting. The line moved pretty fast, with just enough time for her to sign books before moving on to the next person.
Knowing how rushed it was made it a little easier to console myself for not being able to go. When Quinn and I met Alton Brown this summer, we actually had the time to talk to him. Perhaps some day, I’ll have that same chance with Paula. I am glad to have my signed copy of her latest book. I’m sure there will be many recipes made from it in the near future.

Yay! So glad to see you’re back.
Paula Deen is every woman I’ve grown up around. Cute, sweet and a good cook.
Plus, she makes me laugh while I walk through Wal-Mart and see her on those big screens!

I absolutely love Paula Dean! She’s so sassy - - and looks very approachable. It’s fun to watch chefs who look like they are having a great time cooking.
Nice blog, BTW!

Enjoyed your site. Was eating at Lady and Sons and talking to Paula before foodnetwork discovered her. Miss the original small restaurant. She was a “hoot” as you discovered since she came out of the kitchen in her shorts and tee shirt to talk to her customers. Her first cookbook is still my goto.

I’m going to Charleston in a few weeks, and we’re thinking of driving to The Lady and Sons one night for dinner. I can’t wait!
