{ Paula doesnt have wrinkles ??? How does she do it ???

I bet all those sticks of butter had gone directly into her face lol . Thats one way to keep the wrinkles off.

So you know people butter is an anti-wrinkle solution . So when you 're having a heart attack the plus side is you will have a soft face }

PAULA WITH HER SONS MICHEAL & DONT KNOW HIS NAME

Paula is also known for her ability to overcome agoraphobia, or a strong fear of public places, as well as raising two boys as a single mother. Soon after Deen moved to Savannah in 1989, she divorced her first husband and was left with $200 & two young children. So she did what she does best, she cooked up a storm. Deen started a catering business called The Bag Lady where she would make sandwiches and other meals while her sons delivered the food, due to her agoraphobia.




The business was quite successful and outgrew Paula’s kitchen in a matter of months. She was hired as the head cook at the local Best Western hotel where she worked for five years before opening her own restaurant, The Lady & Sons which is now a Savannah tradition.
Deen took up with the Food Network in 1999, when a friend introduced her to Gordon Elliott. She would also appear on Ready, Set, Cook! & Deen got her own show, Paula’s Home Cooking, in 2002.

Paula remarried on March 6, 2004 to tugboat pilot Michael Groover. The wedding & preparation were documented by Food Network and aired in late 2004. Not only is this woman a wonderful Southern US cook, she is also an achiever & over-comer.

This was the first time Paula was a guest on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Maybe Paula had a hand in why the interview was less than stellar. At one point I thought she was going to try to make out with Ellen! But that's why Paula Deen is kind of awesome. She's in your face, just a little bit crazy, and owns the room when she's in it. Ellen may not have been expecting that, who knows.
