THIS. Forever and ever. Zelda Zanders 4 LIFE.
Not sure about the NYT comment. I'm fairly certain that Americans have been eating fried foods that have been frozen and sold for people to heat up in microwaves and ovens since at least the 1960's. Paula Deen isn't doing anything new here. If we're going to jump on her, then let's jump on the Gordon's Fisherman, the Hungry Man, and everything that Stouffer's produces that isn't labelled Lean Cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain and his bloviating windbag self can shut it. I'm done with his holier than thou attitude, as if he never added butter, oil, lard, sugar, cheese or rendered fat from any animal to any dish he prepared to make it taste better. Ever. Paula Deen always called herself a cook, not a chef, but please let me know of chefs in fine dining, non-vegan Zagat-rated James Beard award winning restaurants who add no butter, oil, lard, sugar, cheese or rendered fat to their recipes. Bourdain and others like him need to get off their oh-so-pompous-and-healthy high horse. Paula always said her recipes should be consumed in moderation and if you never heard her say it, you obviously weren't listening or watching her show.
