I think I’ll have my cake and eat it too!

Paula Deen has diabetes.  Bummer. I still love her.  I’m not mad that she didn’t tell anyone about her diabetes and I think you’d have to be a moron not to attribute at least part of the cause to her diet. I still love her. In fact, I essentially celebrated a Paula Deen Christmas.  I [...]

As I get older and we spend more time together, it will [...]
