D is For Dora and Her DNA (From Paula Deen's Restaurant)

I love Paula Deen, I truly do and I have gotten used to her licking her fingers after tasting her food. Today, I watched an episode of 'Paula's Best Dishes' called 'From the Ladies with Love'. The food looked especially tasty and my waistline expanded just watching them dig into baked spaghetti and cheese biscuits. I just could not stomach looking at Paula and her chef Dora licking their fingers and snacking while preparing the food. I am used to Paula, but must everyone do this? What really killed me was Dora putting the trifle together. I could see the pudding residue from when ***Dora had licked her fingers as she continued to manipulate the trifle and Paula had already licked her fingers before placing mint on top of finished dish. I wonder if DNA sharing is part of eating at The Lady and Sons.
***correction - Those were Paula's fingers 04-06-11

* The Lady and Sons Cheese Biscuits
* Dora's Baked Spaghetti
* Chocolate Trifle

Food Network, HGTV lose Cablevision support, but fans can still fight

They are harming our East coast buddies by depriving them of Food Network's goodies. Take a look at this article from examiner.com.

Food Network, HGTV lose Cablevision support, but fans can still fight

Food Network and HGTV are no more...at least if you live in New Jersey, Connecticut, or New York. Media conglomerate Cablevision has pulled the two networks off the air after a contract dispute, and they reportedly have no plans to bring them back.
What was the source of the issue? Scripps Networks, who owns both Food Network and HGTV, believes they should be better compensated along the lines of other top cable networks; Cablevision disagrees, and it's as simple as that.
We may be lucky here in Dallas that we aren't dealing with such a problem, but these sort of network disputes could be an issue that stretches nationwide as a rough economy leads to tougher negotiations. Fox and Time Warner Cable recently came to a deal that keeps the network giant on the air.
What can people with Cablevision do? They can either call 866-695-2378 to find out ways to voice their displeasure, or they can also visit iloveFOODNETWORK.com. We can only hope a deal is reached soon, as these channels work to not just entertain but also occasionally enlighten and inspire. (I found a great restaurant thanks to "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.")
