The other day, a video Paula Patton had posted over a month ago went viral. It was of Paula making her mother?s fried chicken recipe. It was not well received, to say the least. People had opinions on all of it ? ALL of it from how she washed the chicken, to how and when she seasoned it, to how she overcrowded her pan. And since fried chicken is such a sacred dish, people came out of the woodwork to weigh in on Paula?s techniques.
Paula is presently on vacation with her son in Mexico minding her own business. Her friends, however, felt she?d had enough peace and tracked her down to let her know that her and her mother?s names were being dragged through the mud. Paula responded in a short video and she was? perfectly delightful. She said she loves her mom?s recipe and that?s just how they do it. But she is open to suggestions for some other recipes as well, although she will also keep making her chicken the way she does because she likes it.
On Tuesday, Patton sweetly brushed off the critics and defended her family recipe in an Instagram video, saying shell still be using her moms technique.
I just wanted to respond and say listen, I get it, it might look crazy. It is the way we do it, Patton said. Its all good, because everybodys got their own way of making things and Ill take suggestions. Ill make a new kind of fried chicken, but Im going to lways make my moms chicken the way that she did it.
We put the seasonings in the oil and all that ? its just the way we do it.

I posted Paulas video below. Its a MasterClass in response to outrage. She?s so gracious about it, I kind of want to try her recipe as a result. I don?t make the fried chicken in our house. My husband does a buttermilk marinade, and his flour has about seven spices in it so his is more in line with everyone else. I heard a lot of you discussing rinsing the chicken with citrus and vinegar and I?ve passed that on to him. Paula did address washing her chicken in the video, by the way. She said she probably edited poorly but assured everyone she does wash her chicken well.
I?m no chef but I questioned the spices in the oil thing that everyone had an issue with. I make oils infused with flavors for cooking. I make them by boiling whatever flavor in the oil, let it cool, filter through a sieve and store it. Then I use that oil when cooking to add that flavor to my dish. I also add spices to broths and water when I boil things in it to enhance flavor. I?m not defending Paula?s spice to oil method, but I?d try it once to see how it worked. I do agree she overcrowded the pan, though. That?s just a headache for her. But she said she was making a big batch for her son?s school so maybe she was in a rush.
Sometimes when you grow up with something, that?s the taste you want. With all due respect and apologies to our Irish readers, I leave the sugar out of my soda bread. My mom omitted it for some reason and now it?s too sweet for me if it?s in there. People who have never had soda bread before love mine. Just depends on what you?re used to _(?)_/.

| | Emma Thompson: The rise in plastic surgery 'is a form of collective psychosis' | | Added 958 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Emma Thompson has a film coming out called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. She plays ?a widow who hires a young male escort so she can finally explore the sexual intimacy that her marriage lacked,? according to People Mag. Emma has been out and about in recent days, hyping the movie and talking about her first-ever nude scene at the age of 62. Emma is oozing with talent as a writer and actor, so much so that I don?t think she ever gets credit for being thin and attractive. Like, Emma is an attractive woman and she?s been attractive at every stage of her life. She also has the kind of figure which looks good in expensive clothes. She absolutely has some pretty-person privilege, and she doesn?t really acknowledge that as she talks about ageing, plastic surgery and what it?s like to be naked on camera at the age of 62.
On plastic surgery: When asked if shes ever considered plastic surgery, Thompson vehemently said shes against it. Why would you do that to yourself, I simply dont understand. I do honestly think the cutting of yourself off to put it in another place in order to avoid appearing to do what youre actually doing, which is aging, which is completely natural, is a form of collective psychosis. I really do think its a very strange thing to do.
She admits that she?s at an age when people often opt for face lifts. Ive always thought that, though. But Ive always been a kind of card-carrying, militant feminist when it comes to womens bodies and whats been done to them, what were told to expect of ourselves, what were told to do to ourselves.?
Filming the untreated body: She said that societal expectations made going nude difficult. Its very challenging to be nude at 62. Nothing has changed in the dreadful demands made upon women in the real-world world but also in acting. This thing of having to be thin is still the same as it ever was, and actually in some ways I think its worse now. Thompson said that her age both helped and hurt matters. I dont think I couldve done it before the age that I am. And yet, of course, the age that I am makes it extremely challenging because we arent used to seeing untreated bodies on the screen.

Again, there?s some unacknowledged pretty-person privilege happening here. I know why Emma doesn?t acknowledge it, and that?s because she was told throughout her career that she wasn?t ?pretty enough? or ?young enough,? so that?s not how she sees herself. But she?s always been a slim, attractive blonde woman who had enough money, time and access to take care of herself. Now, I also think that cosmetic surgery is too prevalent and I agree that so many women are going under the knife because they?re told by society that they don?t look young enough or hot enough. But I also think, fundamentally, let women do what they want. If getting some work done makes someone feel better or happier or more confident, go buck wild.
(I?d also like to say that it is increasingly exotic to see the rare actor who IS aging naturally on-screen. Usually, it?s just the European actors and some of the British actors who don?t mind or care about looking old, wrinkly and unmoisturized. What a revelation it was to see Hugh Grant?s dry-ass wrinkled face in The Undoing.)
