Food Network

We may have the next big Food Network star in our own backyard!

Yes, I'm still giddy like a school girl.

There is nothing better than the combination of strawberries and chocolate. The best can be found at the Berryfactory. They are large plump and juicy. If your going to dip strawberries make sure you grab the largest and ripest you can find.

The rumors started almost two years ago, with a report in the National Enquirer: Paula Deen, champion of "Southern-style" cooking and a mainstay of cable-TV's Food Network, was suffering from type-2 diabetes! But the story died quickly, and hasn't been revisited until reports late last week claimed Deen would be confirming the news, possibly as soon as this week.
