I am not going to tell you straight out, that wouldn’t be any fun. Just listen to this story and tell me what you think.
So, the other day my amazing hubby came home with a magazine for me since I’ve been sicky. He knew I was missing out on all our Christmas baking, so he brought me Paula Deen’s Holiday Baking. I’m not sure it even counts as a magazine, it’s thicker than your average magazine and at nine bucks I’d say it qualifies as a paperback book. But whatever.
Anyway, I’m flipping through the pages and come to a section of fun food gifts. Ooh there’s some good ones! And look, here’s some very creative packaging ideas. There I was just innocently enjoying all these fantastic yummy ideas, totally unaware of corporate greed…. So you can imagine my surprise when I came across the brilliant idea of putting baked goodies in a retro lunchbox. Hello? You might remember from my newsletter that yours truly had the same idea.
Now, I’m not naming any names but I think it is highly likely that a certain butter-lover may have been perusing my blog. What’s that you say? They make those magazines months in advance? First of all, I told you. It’s a book! Second of all, don’t tell me someone as famous as you-know-who couldn’t work in a last minute update.
So, what do you think? Are you as impressed as I was? What should I wear when she asks me to be on her show? What are you saying now? The magazine’s been on the stand for three weeks? Oh. Um, never mind, y’all.
Time to get off the cough syrup.





You and Paula are going to be best friends!!!!
I think it’s just meant to be. After all, you had the same great idea at roughly the same time. It’s providence.
Paula Deen is totally sharing your wavelength. It’s a matter of time now before you’re sampling her biscuits on network TV!
Mmmn biscuits!
