I Don't Fry Chicken Any Mowre

My partner is not from the south and he delights in correcting my speech...at times it drive me crazy!!!!!! But for him it's all in good fun...so I try to humor the old guy.

Paula Dean: Bless her heart..as we say in the south. I agree with Angus...I don't know anyone in or from the south that uses "ya'll" as much as she does. In fact between the constant finger licking, fingers and rings in the food, feeding the dogs from the counter/table and saying "ya'll" every 5 seconds...I cannot watch her program. I'm sorry she's encountered some health problems..but that's to be expected when everything she puts in her mounth is laced with butter and sugar. I ate at her restruant in Miss. back in the fall.....it was good...but few choices that didn't involve high fat and sugar.

Yes and apparently Ms Deen and her two sons have been offered "lucrative contracts" to shill for that drug company. May I ask exactly what credibility her two sons have for this? Nepotism anyone? And while the drug company is paying them their fat salaries how many underprivileged folks won't have access to that drug (I hear it runs $500 per month)? I often wonder when we buy things, how much of the cost is due to the celebrities being paid to endorse...

Crisco and Fried Chicken

Nupe....Crisco does not fry chicken as well as lard...yes, lard.

I would imagine Crisco is only a few molecules away from being plastic...lard will melt when you place a dollop on the top of your hand. Crisco, will sit there until Doomsday. (and most likely survive Doomsday).

This being said lard will hold up when frying just fine.

The flavor imparted by lard when frying chicken is second to none.

Interesting commentary on Paula Deen and her endorsement deal:

Best Southern Accent From A Non-Native

IMHO has to go hands down to Mr. Robert Duvall.

Listen to him not only in the film "Something To Talk About" but also the little known "Tomorrow". One could almost picture him sitting on the front porch shooting at lawn jockeys. *LOL*
