I love Paula Deen. I love love love her. When I had cable, I recorded her shows and watched them over and over again. You know, all you need is a stick of butter to turn something into a fantastic southern dish, and Paula Deen is all over that. My husband and I used to watch all of the Food Network Specials together, especially if Paula Deen was in them. We would laugh together over the idea of deep fried butter. It was Paula Deen that taught me how to cook a turkey.

Here’s what I have to do, well, you can do it too if you want a chance at meeting her yourself:

*   On Facebook:  Create Facebook Shares and posts about the site, Paula’s videos, and the videos in the recipe gallery – make sure that when you post to Facebook you put an "@" sign before the word "Philadelphia’ so we can see it on our Facebook – www.Facebook.com/LoveMyPhilly

*   On Twitter:  Tweet about Real Women of Philadelphia and add in the hash tag #RWOP at the end of your tweets.  Philly is on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/LoveMyPhilly
*   Or just retweets Paula’s videos and videos from all the girls in the Recipes gallery
*   Leave comments on videos on the site (quality, not quantity!)

Paula Deen is looking for a super-fan. Are you her? If you win you will act as the “Voice” of the community for another contest she is hosting, Real Women of Philadelphia. You will receive an all expense paid trip to Savannah to spend time with Paula and the finalists and act as the behind-the-scenes ambassador for the entire four days!
