Paula Deen Idea of a Diet

Trilby · 03-19-2009, 05:00 PM

Paula was on tonight and said her hubby is "finally!" eating better and on a diet; so, this is what Paula made for him:

Cream Cheese Stuffed New Potatoes

Red caviar, for garnish, optional
Finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/3 cup whipping cream
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-ounce) package soft garlic herb cheese (recommended: Boursin)
24 bite-size new potatoes, scrubbed, with a tiny sliver cut off each potato so they will stand after filling
Salt

Directions
In a large pot with plenty of salted water, boil the potatoes until they are tender when a fork is inserted, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes cool until you can handle them.

With a melon baller, remove a scoop from each potato. Combine the cheese, butter, and cream. Taste, and add salt and pepper, as needed. Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into the potatoes.

Garnish with a fine sprinkling of parsley. Stand potatoes on cut end on a platter to serve.

God I love this woman!

If you've ever watched her show, you know she cut down on the amount of butter she would have normally added. lol!!!

I just watched that show. I'm all over that stuffed snapper.

And she did only used a pat of butter on the fish instead of the usual 4 sticks.

I hope that's not a euphemism.

The lady is a marketing genius and a total idiot wrapped into one package. It is so funny to see the Tourons standing in the 90 degree heat waiting to go into her place, buy her crap, and say they had some great home style food like you could get at any army mess hall.

reminds me of that "Mr. and Mrs. Butterer" commercial

Urbane Guerrilla · 03-20-2009, 07:55 PM

Or Martita Hunt. David Niven's autobiography Blessings In Disguise recounts la Hunt throwing a snitfit over being unable to obtain six pounds of butter in which to cook one chicken. This in immediately postwar England, at that -- food rationing.

Neither David nor Primula ever got over their astonishment either.

Nor, for that matter, the recipe. Assuming the details are accurately remembered.

Sundae · 03-22-2009, 06:41 AM

None of this makes any sense to me.
Just thought I'd say.

Although.... I haven't read that one of Niven's, UG.
I'll have to look it up. I adore him. I've read The Moon's a Balloon and Bring on the Empty Horses a courses.
Even knowing he was a spin artiste - it's only the same as listening to any raconteur. Are there any left? I'd apply if I knew where to go.

Urbane Guerrilla · 03-23-2009, 02:11 AM

Then you'll like BiD too. Writing, in the Niven voice.

Always wanted to introduce David Niven to Larry Niven in an airport: "Mr Niven, famous author, meet Mr. Niven, famous author."

Urbane Guerrilla · 03-23-2009, 09:49 AM

Oh, dear -- not Niven -- Alec Guiness. Same Central Casting Anglo type, different fellow. But still if you liked Niven's writing, you'll like Guiness' too.

Sundae · 03-23-2009, 09:52 AM

Bwahahaaaa
Not laughing at you, just relieved MY memory isn't going to a hot destination in a receptacle.

I honestly believed that there was a Niven book I hadn't found.
I should be less trusting. Such ways are dictatorships made!

But I'm interested in a book by Sir Alec anyway.

Trilby · 03-23-2009, 12:27 PM

from cream cheese stuffed new potatoes to Sir Alec in 14! pretty good!
