Cooking: A Q&A with ... Paula Deen

Whitney Matheson of USA Today has a Q&A with diva of the Food Network, Paula Dean:

"If you've ever watched Paula Deen's show on the Food Network, you know the country cook is mighty fond of fried foods, buttery desserts and the word "y'all."

Deen -- No. 53 on my top 100 list -- was on her way to the Big Apple with her husband, Michael, when we spoke last week. She's been so busy lately, in fact, that her voice was hoarse and she hadn't even finalized the guest list for her Christmas dinner."
