Paula Deen’s Stoner Burger
Paula Deen, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is a cook of exaggerated Southernosity, one whose veins run with clarified butter instead of icky old blood like regular people.

- Make some fries. Or reheat some fries.

If this isn’t enough to clog your arteries, poutine (pronounced “p’TIN” with a contemptuous expression {as are all Quebecois words, actually}) is an essential ingredient in the Angry French Canadian Sandwich:

The Gourmet’s Companion
Now that import restrictions are so … restrictive, one must resort to creative ways of getting one’s most precious items across borders.
You can just put the laptop into the checked luggage, but don’t let THIS baby out of your sight. You know what they say: keep your friends close, and your andouille closer.
