How was it???

I didn't get anything on the link, but I LOVE Paula Deen!

Whenever I can, I love to watch her on the Food Network and I have The Lady and Sons and The Lady and Sons Too.. or however she spelled "too".. two.. whatever.

When we went to Savannah a few years ago, I tried to get to their place to eat, but there wasn't a table to be had.. boo hoo.

I bet she is a stitch in real life!

Here's what the link says:

TV chef Paula Deen to appear at luncheon, bake sale
Wednesday, October 19, 2005

Paula Deen was a star with a lot of people before she ever saw the bright lights of Hollywood and took a role in "Elizabethtown," now showing at local theaters.

Deen, who is currently enjoying the status of the Food Network's most popular personality, stays busy with her two restaurants in Savannah, her TV shows on the Food Network, her magazine that should premier next month, and her busy speaking schedule.

She will be in Birmingham Nov. 17 for two appearances, both benefits for Hannah Home Shelby County.

The first is a ladies luncheon and holiday bake sale at The Club at 11:30 a.m. Patsy Riley, wife of Gov. Bob Riley, will be among the guests at the luncheon.

The luncheon, themed "A Recipe for Hope featuring Paula Deen," will be $50 per person. All attending will receive the first issue of her magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen. The magazine is being published by Birmingham's Hoffman Media.

That evening Alagasco will present a cooking demonstration by Paula Deen, who will be assisted by Birmingham chef Clayton Sherrod. The cooking demonstration will be from 6 until 9 p.m. at Metropolitan Church of God at 2800 Metropolitan Way. Tickets are $75 per person. There will be open seating. Box suppers are available for $10 each. Doors open at 5 p.m. All those attending the evening presentation will receive a copy of Deen's latest book, "Paula Deen and Friends."

For lunch and evening tickets or lunch tickets only contact Mrs. John Moore, 3352 Afton Lane, Birmingham, 35242. For evening tickets contact Mrs. Robert Alden at 3329 Afton Lane, Birmingham, 35242. Checks should be made payable to Hannah Home Shelby. For more information, call 678-8331, ext. 238.

Deen, who began her career in food in the '90s when she prepared sack lunches that her two sons delivered in Savannah. It was through this venture that she named her business "The Bag Lady." While she had suffered for some years with agoraphobia, she overcame this and opened The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah.

That business today has thrived with a lot of work on the parts of Deen and her two sons, now in their 30s. Last year she and her brother, Bubba, opened another restaurant near Savannah, called Uncle Bubba's Oyster House. She remarried in 2004 to Michael Groover, a tugboat pilot in the Port of Savannah.

She has received many awards for her entrepreneurial accomplishments in the past decade.

She has a small role in the current film, "Elizabethtown," where she plays the role of a strong aunt in a quirky family.

Enjoy Glenda! I like Paula, she always makes me smile.

Okay, now how was it?

It's not until the 17th. Waiting on tickets.

there's not a doubt in my mind that that will be a really fun luncheon! her personality is so warm and upbeat, i imagine that people are simply drawn to her. hope you and your friend have a great time! let us know how it went, ok?
