Paula Deen is launching a web network.

Just in time for me - we're discontinuing our cable service next week. I'm glad to see this.

I bet we'll find some tasty recipes at her website. I wonder how much the subscription will cost.

I wish her well, and I hope her fans will now be happy. I was never a fan of hers as many of her recipes seem to be noting more than rehashed from community cookbooks (much like Ree Drummond's).

She has big venture capitalist backers. A local guy is re-launching her products and concentrating on supermarket foods under her name.

I saw for the first time the other day around suppertime, a new (?) Food Network show called Farmhouse Rules. The lady reminded me of PD before she went all Hollywood.

Good for her! I'm glad her haters weren't successful in bringing her down. I believe she is truly sorry for what she did many years ago and I'm happy that she was able to recover.

I saw that show too, and thought the same thing!

Well good for Paula, but I'm not interested in subscribing to something I can get on the Food Network already.

I know, huh? I thought I was the only one who thought this! I must own too many community cookbooks.........

Re: Paula Deen is launching a web network.

That is a very strong lady to still have the heart to do food related work. I'd have retired and just lived off of what I'd made previously. Who needs the judgement and heartache.
