Remember that funny Rachel Ray bacon recipe I posted?

Paula Deen has followed suite.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paul ... index.html

"Ingredients
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 cans (14 1/2-ounces) English peas, drained
Directions
Melt the butter in small pot and add the peas. Cook over medium heat until peas are warm."

Ah, internet comments.

"This was outstanding! I did make a couple modifications. I eliminated the butter, and in place of the peas I substituted one can of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs."

"My kids were getting pretty tired of plain old veggies for dinner, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Delicioso! Even my picky toddler gobbled it up. I made a couple of substitutions. I was out of butter, so I used Cheez Whiz. And my husband absolutely hates peas, so I used a bag of Doritos instead (Tacos at Midnight flavor. What a hit! Thanks, Paula!"

"Is that a total of 14 1/2 ounces of peas, or two 14 1/2 ounce cans of peas? I'm so confused. What if I can't find "English peas?" Can I use regular old American peas? And how about frozen peas? What would happen if I used fresh peas? Would I have to take them out of their little envelopes or could I just throw the whole thing in?I'm paralyzed until I figure this out. Does the butter have to be salted or unsalted?"

"I decided to simplify the recipe a bit and just melted the butter and my family drank it. It was wonderful and the kids loved it! Next time, I might even throw a pea or two in it and a couple of chunks of beef. Maybe even get myself a stew goin."

LOL That's so funny! I like the maple syrup idea!
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

I thought that was Calgon, or maybe I'm confusing it with something else?
