I love Paula Deen and Ina Garten

I admit it, I'm a cooking show junkie. My very favorite two are Paula Deen and Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa).

I love Paula Deen because she unabashedly adds whole cream, butter (yes, butter) and white flour to damn near everything. As I watch her show I feel my ass expand a bit at the thought of all this culinary goodness. Quotes of today's show: "You certainly don't want to risk the idea of burning yourself alive, not even for a baked potato" and "y'all will have to excuse me for a minute so I can finish makin' love to my tater." As much as I love my mother, I want Paula to adopt me.

Ina Garten is a more subtle version of Paula Dean. Still the same unmitigated use of whole-fat dairy products and white flour, she is refined a bit. Today's show was all about a Thanksgiving for two and my oh my did I wish I were part of that two.

I want their cookbooks for Christmas. Sister, take note, gift idea!
