Fraternities will catch wind of this and go to the extreme, using a water slide for a gang luge. :beaten:

It was grub. Lots of veggies and brown rice with a lil' protein (with a liberal dose of red pepper paste). Feeling and satisfying.

Awesome. I've tried Cuban sandwiches a few times. I've always been a sucker for a good sandwich. I think it's because as a kid I always had a brown bag lunch with a sandwich in it. Usually ham & cheese...fortunately my tastes have matured a bit since then.

Yeah obviously it's not authentic Korean...a fusion affair with some good flavor. It's all but done in three bites or so.

3 bites = exercising a modicum of restraint.

I still like a good ham and cheese sandwich.
What about prosciutto and brie on a baguette? :victory:

I like that combination. :) How about going Jambon de Paris with butter on a baguette?

Then you can feel like a Parisian, given the fact that jambon-beurre sandwiches are probably available on every corner in the French capital. ^_^

Beret optional.

i like sushi! :applaud: :applaud: :jumpie: :jumpie: :tickle:

I don't wish illness on anybody but the butter done fell out the closet and it's far from shocking news given the way she guzzles grits and dresses everything with flour & butter, even her socks.

Paula Deen Diabetes Rumors Say The TV Star Will Soon Reveal Diagnosis, Drug Endorsement

Huffington Post

Posted: 1/13/12 10:48 AM ET

The Daily is reporting that Paula Deen, the large-living queen of heavy cooking, is about to come clean with what some say has long been her dirtiest secret: her diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes.

Rumors of Deen's diabetes first started to swirl in April, when The National Enquirer and The Daily Mail both reported that the TV chef was hiding her disease for fear that it would endanger her credibility as a chef.

There's no doubt that fans would be upset to learn that Deen had been keeping such a major disease, and a major consequence of heavy eating, from their knowledge. It would certainly cast an alarming pall over the reckless abandon with which she endorses delicacies like turducken. And it would lend support to rival Anthony Bourdain's much-ballyhooed critique of Deen's culinary style.

It's worth noting, though, that in the past nine months, Deen has diversified her activities away from her old monomaniacal focus on fatty foods. She's been selling flavored lip balms and announced plans for a clothing line. She wrote a best-selling cookbook and ink a contract for two more, at a new publisher. And her son Bobby recently debuted his Cooking Channel show "Not My Mama's Meals," which showcases healthy versions of Southern classics.

Deen has also been slowly moving toward greater candor in recent months: she admitted to smoking cigarettes on a recent episode of the Dr. Oz show. And Deen will soon be appearing, in her own home, on an episode of Oprah's new OWN show, Oprah's Next Chapter. Given the timing, the latter could even be a perfect venue for the diabetes confession.

But if Deen has successfully hidden her diabetes so far, why change tack now?

The Daily has a potentially convincing answer: she's in it for the money. According to the rumors the iPad publication has heard, Deen has signed a deal to endorse a diabetes medication from major pharmaceuticals company Novartis. Leave it up to Deen to turn what could have been a career-wrecking scandal into a financial windfall.

So Deen was apparently diagnosed 3 years ago. Something seriously disingenuous about cooking all those fried butter sticks coated in grits while telling people it's "All good y'all" when you're not even supposed to be eating half the dishes yourself because you have a medical condition which precludes you from eating them.

And now she's a paid shill for Big Pharma.

Fake. Fat. Foolish. F*cked up.
