Paula Deen Comes Out as a Diabetic Because Have You Seen Her Show?

There seems to be only two news stories today. An Italian cruise ship crashed and Paula Deen has diabetes so there’s really only one news story today.


The Queen of Southern Cuisine was diagnosed in 2008 but didn’t come public with her condition until now because her knowledge of the disease was very limited. Really? No way. On a completely unrelated note, here’s Paula Deen making love to a Donut Burger.

When asked about the obvious connection to the miniature black holes of calories, fat and sugar she makes on her show and her disease she said “On my show I share with you all these yummy, fattening recipes, but I tell people, `in moderation,'” she added. “I’ve always eaten in moderation.” Is it really possible to deep fry cheesecake in moderation?

Just to recap, she took a slice of cheesecake and covered it in milk chocolate bits. She then wrapped it up in a wonton wrapper and deep fried it. After she took it out she rolled it in powdered sugar, covered it in chocolate and strawberry syrup, covered it in more powdered sugar and then slapped a gob of whipped cream on it. It’s the culinary equivalent of that baseball bat scene in Casino. My left foot went a little numb just watching the video.


The much more obvious reason to her coming out as a diabetic is her new partnership with drug company Novo Nordisk to push a new diabetes drug and promote the program “Diabetes in a New Light” which offers tips on food preparation, stress management and working with doctors on a treatment plan. Here’s a recipe from the plan for people who have always found their insulin injections to be a little flavorless.


Paula Deen’s Yummy Insulin Injection

Ingredients:
40 units insulin
1 hypodermic needle
1 stick butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar

Drop the insulin in a stainless steel bowl with the sour cream and stir in the brown sugar. Grease the area of your stomach where you’ll administer the injection with a little bit of the butter and stir that in. Add a pinch of salt to bring out that nice, insuliney flavor and pour the mix into a cakepan. Cook at 450 degrees for ten minutes and let the insulin cool on a cooling rack. Fill the needle with about 50 units of the insulin cake, making sure to tap out any bubbles, inject and enjoy!

Too Fat to Fail

Sometimes it’s hard to believe the economy sucks. With all the cheap, modern conveniences afforded to us it’s kind of difficult to compare today to the great depression. Here I am, poor as shit and I’m typing away on my laptop in my heated home trying not to get distracted by the thought of the bacon wrapped hot dogs I’m going to make for lunch. Not exactly dust bowl farmer material sitting here.


Oh how will I ever afford that new IiPad case?




Even though it can be difficult to really feel the effect of the poor economy, it’s not impossible. There’s certain things that make you realize, without a doubt, that we are in trouble. For example, Hostess is declaring bankruptcy.





You know the economy’s in the shitter when you can’t turn a profit selling Twinkies in America. This company was founded in 1930 during the beginning of the great depression and they somehow managed to claw their way to the top by shoving sugared fat down the throats of Americans until we became the fattest country in the world and now they’re failing? Yeah, it’s a recession.


Cnn reports that Hostess will still churn out the cupcakes and Ding Dongs while filing bankruptcy but it owes $21 million to it’s employees for services rendered and $1 billion to creditors. Now Hostess says it will continue operation and won’t shut down any plants or layoff any employees but how long can they go without paying them? 83% of their employees are union and they’ll probably tolerate being paid in Sno Balls for so long. How long will this go on before Hostess goes under?


I think we all know what needs to happen. Federal bailout.


Think about it. Hostess is an American icon and they would only need like less than %2 the amount that was used to bail out the banks. Why can’t they get a bailout? I don’t even bank with the big banks but I eat Zingers like a motherfucker.


Brother, can you spare $1 billion in stimulus?
