  1. Excellent snark by one BLTdipthong:

    “My wife & I made these yesterday and they were great! Couldn’t find butter so we substituted Country Crock. It tasted lacking so we added cream cheese but it was too overpowering. We added another can of peas but it still wasn’t right. I wanted to add sour cream, my wife thought olive oil – long story short we added both. The peas were now floating in a whitish-yellowish grease. Added two more cans of peas & some corn starch. My wife & I both had one of those “Eureeka” moments – we turned to each other and said “mayonnaise!” We definitely used too much and had to add another three cans of peas. We high-fived each other, put all that into a big casserole dish, sprinkled some cheddar cheese over it and pooped it in the oven. During dinner my wife went into the fridge for some ketchup and found a stick of butter! My wife & I almost made love right there on the dining table in front of the kids. I can’t tell you how great this whole experience was for our marriage. Thanks, Paula!”

  2. …which overfloweth with snark.

    …an understatement that borders on British.

    I would put it thusly: after a long, hard week of accusing Sarah Palin of being an assassin, all the internet trolls decided to head on down to foodnetwork.com and search for a recipe appropriate for their meager life-skills — the results were predictable.

  3. From Al:

    “sprinkled some cheddar cheese over it and pooped it in the oven.”

    I don’t think this variation is one my family would eat.

  4. I want to see the Swedish Chef version, where he tries to open the cans with de “boom boom” (his blunderbuss).

    He has a great recipe for bork, bork, bork! (the other white meat.)

  5. I mean, so, like, what is the problem with this?

    There are a lot of people, adult people, men and women, who absolutely don’t cook. They are scared of boiling water.

    So there is this recipe of warming up canned peas with a stick of butter, divided into 6-8 servings. Yeah, this isn’t low calorie but neither is deli coleslaw, potato salad, mac and cheese, or almost anything served in a mass-market restaurant. But I bet it is yummie!

  6. “I’m shocked that the goddess of butter didn’t include salt in this recipe.”

    I was surprised she didn’t include a jar of mayo. If Paula Dean doesn’t have extremely high cholesterol, she must have the best genes on the planet.

    My wife is a food network junkie. My aunt from Alabama says she doesn’t watch Paula because she’s “just too southern.”

  7. You need to be clearer in your recipes. I melted the butter with a small amount of pot (about two joints’ worth) in the microwave then added the peas. Since I only cooked until the peas were warm the marijuana was still basically raw. The stems made it really unpleasant.

    Perhaps in the future you could substitute “saucepan” for “pot”. It’s confusing.
