Remember when we reviewed various celebrity chefs? Paula Deen got our approval, but we mentioned that her cooking will stop your heart, literally. Well, lots of people (including Paula herself) joke about how much butter she uses. But, this recipe tops the list. Sent in by Stephen: Paula’s Fried Butter Balls. Essentially it’s deep fried butter.


Also sent in by Stephen, a recent article by Cleopatra Andreadis talking about the love of bacon. The video is fun, and there’s talk of bacon cake, bacon toilet paper, bacon brownies, bacon tomales, and more!
