ChristieNJ Posted April 23, 2007 #26 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Who mentioned cholesterol here? She uses a LOT of butter, that was my only point :eek: I prefer ICBINB :cool: PS. you have a VERY large signature :) No one mentioned cholesterol...your butter comment just reminded me of a funny question somebody in the audience asked.

Millie38 Posted April 23, 2007 #27 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I hope she teaches the pastry cooks on board how to make good desserts. Most of what those fancy chefs fix is tasteless. They need to learn to use more sugar, butter and vanilla. You go Paula!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLQ Posted April 23, 2007 #28 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hahaha.....Seriously. She's sweet but OMG I could never eat what she makes! Having grown up down here in the South, we've realized that God probably eats this stuff. No really, we've been to Paula's restaurant several times. You're right--no one should eat her version of most southern classics too often. You would die young. She doesn't hold back much! But, it's incredible food. Ought to be enjoyed occasionally! B-t-w, y'all better go back up to the earlier post where the travel agency is mentioned and do your inquiry. By all rights, this thread could disappear soon because of the mention of a specific TA...if I understand all of the CC particulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymom65 Posted April 23, 2007 #29 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I, too, was born and raised in the South, and for traditionali Southern cooking, you use lots of butter, and lard, and sugar, etc.... These are the things that make our food great! BTW, my father is almost 63 years old, and has literally ate Southern cooking his whole life. His cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc are all perfect. We have eaten at Paula's restaurant several times, it reminds me of Sunday dinner at my grandma's table. She projects a wonderful personality on television, a cruise with her would be loads of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixCruiser Posted April 25, 2007 #31 Share Posted April 25, 2007 And her sons are very easy on the eye too.:) That I agree with :D And I give them credit for not being very overweight considering the amount of butter they probably had to consume while growing up ;) ;) ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms-getaway Posted April 25, 2007 #32 Share Posted April 25, 2007 AWWWW MANNN. I love paula. something about that lady just makes me smile. and I would love to try her food. BUTTER and all. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted April 25, 2007 #33 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've loved her since I followed her recipe for cooking fried chicken and it comes out perfect every time and sooo good.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagger Posted April 27, 2007 #34 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ms. Flagger would have LOVED this. Too bad we already are going on DCL in early December. Cannot get away for another week this year. You cannot get in her restaurant in Savannah at dinner time on a weekend without a very very long wait if even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2sale Posted May 29, 2007 #35 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Yes, her sons and her entire family will be with her. I am so excited about this cruise. Her grandson will even be there with her!!! Now all I get to do is stay on these boards to help me with the wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2sale Posted June 11, 2007 #36 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Here again this board has just died out. I know there has to be more people out there on this sailing!! Come out!! Come out where ever you are!! I am just so excited to be on this cruise with Paula Deen. Can't not wait to meet this lady!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted June 11, 2007 #37 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I do not think it is fair that only if you book from this one source you will be in on the events...that means they are only exclusive to the booking agency. Other pax will be incovenienced to some extent & excluded. I would rather the cruise line schedule special events for all to enjoy--- I know this group booking scenene is the furture of cruising to a large extent & am considering an aerobics group fit & fitness cruise myself, but if I was not in the honored special group I would be unhappy!

love2sale Posted June 11, 2007 #38 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well, I don't know if I got all of this right but I think I do. The TA that is putting this on also did one with her last April. So the TA is doing again.. I am sure to help their sales. The cost is a little more pricey going through this TA and that is why you get all the perks of being with her. To my understanding the TA reserved 500 rooms. So by signing up with them you get to go to her meet and greet, cocktail party, book signing, BBQ, and a cooking demonstration. I am sure I missed something else. So, I was just so thrilled when I found this on her website I just had to go for it. So for now I have to wait.

Nancyquilts Posted June 11, 2007 #39 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hmmm - 500 rooms equals 1000 people, more or less. Wonder what impact they'll have on other passengers' enjoyment of the ship and all its venues? Or haven't you read the boards for Crystal and HAL about the problems with groups taking over prime locations in the ships? Maybe this will be different - I hope so.

love2sale Posted June 12, 2007 #40 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, I sure hope to not make my fellow cruisers upset. I just thought this was such a great opportunity. I love to cruise and I love this woman and her show. Although I have not met her. I just figured I hit a gold mine. LOL Get 2 of my favorites at once!! What a deal!!!

love2sale Posted July 18, 2007 #46 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Well, I ordered some stuff off the website for the cruise wear. The cooking sea with Paula Deen and it all came out nicely. I got a bag and I really like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted July 18, 2007 #47 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Just popping in to say I love your enthusiasm, love2sale! Wish we could join you as I love Paula but we already had this pesky Mediterranean cruise booked for October before I ever heard about it. :p ;) :D I'm counting on you to report back after the cruise. With pictures, lots of pictures! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2sale Posted July 18, 2007 #48 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Aprille, dont worry you know I will. Might need some help with posting them to here, never have done it. We use the kodak gallery so it shouldn't be hard. Wish you would of known about this one first and we could be excited together. So for now we can both be excited just because we are going on a cruise. Like I said, I will be letting everyone know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cot427 Posted July 18, 2007 #49 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I love Paula. Her food looks so good. I also loved her when she was in St. Lucia and Europe. They taped them on the food network. I wonder if they will tape this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted July 18, 2007 #50 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'll be happy to help if you need it with posting photos. Should be easy with the Kodak website. I have a friend who uses it. I'm around daily so I'm easy to find! Even when I'm cruising I check in. Hey, what can I say? I'm addicted! :D You keep up the enthusiasm. I'll be watching! ;) Hey, I just read back through this entire thread and realize it is one where an early poster insinuated that Paula was drunk during her shows! :mad: I commented and never got a response. How rude! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
