*read before the controversy* Rating removed but review remains unaltered.I walked by this on the library shelf last year and thought to myself that it might be fun to see what goes on behind the scenes with this "momma" cook.What an interesting peek into the world of someone that spent many years as a shut-in, had enough of a temper to alienate her family, has a very healthy sex drive, and is generally nothing like the image that you see portrayed on television.You go, Ms. Paula! I have a lot more respect for you now after reading your book, than I did while drooling over all the yummy food that you cook up on the tv.
