Michael Bloomberg is the culprit for that! How can we get him off the public stage?</p>
<p>Yes musica-and there is a very large cohort of Americans who don’t really care what you think of Deen or LU. Or butter usage. There what 600 channels on cable TV. There will be one or more that has no issues with her so long as she brings her viewers with her.</p>

<p>“Obviously not. The book was already doing very well.”</p>
<p>As a former book publisher, I can tell you the money was not in the book. (They paid her a huge advance that would likely never have been recouped through book sales.)The money was from the licensing fees for the corporate tie-ins. When “Paula Deen” died, that was all lost, so they cut their losses. The book was NOT doing very relative to their costs without the licensing fees.</p>
<p>I’ll admit that I still eat weiners, but I can’t imagine going out of my way to buy some “Paula Deen Cookware”.</p>

<p>Lol, musica!
Total digression, but I just got this gourmet salt sampler for both my Dh and my S#1 [Gourmet</a> Sea Salt Sampler Collection No.1 - 11 Tubes - Gift Collections](<a href=“http://shop.thespicelab.com/index.php/gift-collections/gourmet-salt-collection-no-1-includes-11.html]Gourmet”>http://shop.thespicelab.com/index.php/gift-collections/gourmet-salt-collection-no-1-includes-11.html) It was a big hit!</p>
<p>I should have added that since she died, there would have been no “Paula Deen” to go out on a book tour.</p>
<p>Clearly there’s an age gap. Bacon should be on that list, poetgrl</p>
<p>Wish you would stop saying that “Paula Deen” died, mini. Its misleading and is likely to confuse readers.</p>
<p>And that list is clearly lacking. Where’s the nutella?</p>

<p>*All that other stuff is window dressing when you have Mr. Ripert on the island. Eric and a simple towel for modesty. You are good to go.</p>
<p>True. My bad.</p>

<p>If musicamusica gets a man, I feel like I should get one too.</p>
<p>I’ll take Jonathan Scott from Property Brothers. He can build me a shelter and I can invite musicamusica and Eric Ripert to come and eat (i.e., cook) in my shelter.</p>

What’s your point there? I’m just being practical. We will need someone big and strong and handy.</p>
<p>I am clearly willing to share under the right circumstances.</p>
<p>It’s okay, I’m still trying to figure out a way George Clooney can be helpful. As soon as I figure it out, he’s coming with me.</p>
<p>I don’t see any alcohol on that list. What is wrong with you people?</p>
