Paula Deen’s quote about Southern Plate!

A few months back we were on a family trip and setting off on a long walk back to the hotel. The kids were kind of quiet after a day of fun and so I thought I’d check my email on my phone as we walked together. An email from my editor with the subject line “Paula Deen LOVES Southern Plate” popped up and my eyes just about popped out of my head! “Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness” was all I could manage to say as I clicked to open it.
My husband was at my side in an instant, “What? What’s wrong?” to which I replied with more “Oh my goodness!” as my voice grew even louder. Finally, I looked up with a face white as a sheet. “Paula Deen read my book.”
To which he started in with his string of “Oh my goodness”. We all stopped on a street corner as I read the quote to them, and my entire family began jumping up and down excited, with me in tears at what an amazing honor this was.
I’m thrilled to be able to share the quote from Miss Paula with you today!
“The recipes in Southern Plate made my mouth
water!
I have never heard of any other school serving
peanut butter balls, except for mine- and that was
45 years ago! This wonderful cookbook made me
feel like I was reading something of my own.”
— Paula Deen

How exciting for you! When your email about this came in, I was re-reading all the poor folks meals people wrote about for your kraut and weiners post. I posted one myself and they all make me miss that brief time in my life that we call childhood. How I wish I could have just one more carefree day spent barefoot, outside all day long, chasing lightening bugs at dusk and getting up to the table to eat one more of my Mama’s home cooked meals. Congratulations on your recognition by Paula but I think the recognition you get from everyday folks says more about how much you are admired.
