Best Dishes from Kansas City

To round off our month of Rainy Day Books events, Heidi and some girl friends attended the Paula Deen event last night. Paula is Chef Proprietor of the famous The Lady & Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, Food Network star of Paula's Home Cooking and Paula's Party and an author. She is on tour promoting her recently released memoirs, 'It Ain't All About the Cooking'.

While we don't use alot of her recipes (although those we have tried are wonderful!), she makes us laugh alot (we love her southern sayings) and that same humor and warm personality came through last night. When she came out on stage she announced that she was 'hotter than a fat girl writing a love letter'! To make the evening even better she brought a special guest--her husband, Michael Groover! It was a fun evening with a fun lady and good friends!
