Hey Jamie:  Glad you are back.  You’ve been really, really missed.  Gee, you have been busy!!!!!  I’ve been busy too but not THAT BUSY.  Anxious to see the new show and know it will do well.  Looking forward to the podcast as well.  I’m sure Brooke is happy her parents are in the same town with you.  Jack must be so excited that his grammie and grampie are close by.  Saw you on the Today show.  Lookin’ good. 

Hi to my fellow bloggers. 

Hey Bobby, when are we going to hear from you???!!!  Would be nice, ya know.

Gotta get back to work.

HUGS to you both.  JANN

Hey Jamie,

Good to finally have a update,  I saw you and Jack in Delaware Friday Night.  I have a good picture of you two with your mom on stage.  When I get back from vacation in two weeks I will mail you a copy.  Have a great week looking forward to the podcast and best of luck on the new show.

I know that will be so nice for y’all.  I have my fingers and toes crossed for your new show, but I know it will be a hit! Just always remember your fans will always have your back, do what you need to do! We will always be here!  Have a great week!  Trying to do good things.

How so you spell busy????

J-A-M-I-E-D-E-E-N!!!

Golly darn…..... you are one busy boy!!!

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the TV show!  Still think the family table should be us bloggers!!

One question for you Jamie…...

Do you ever sleep????

Much love to you,

Your new show sound like exactly the thing I need.  I am a busy mom who is trying to cook healthy on a budget with limited time, and I get tired of the same ole salads, sammys and spaghetti.  New ideas are greatly needed.  Especially I am not the greatest cook in the world. LOL.  All your tips and advise are very much appreciated.

Shanelle DeMello on July 26 2010

You call that busy…LOL. Sounds like you have enjoyed your summer. I was doing my best to get to the Delaware State Fair to see you guys but, it was just too darn hot outside. I hope you enjoyed your time at the Fair.

Being in the wedding business, I love destination weddings. Hope everything went great there too.

I am certain your show will be picked up by someone. It is a great concept and is needed. I will make sure to watch it. Deb, couldn’t agree with you more. The family table should be us bloggers. That would be a great time!!

Jamie, try to get some down time and enjoy the summer. Sorry about the softball elimination. Get em next year!!!

Take care,
Kimberly Whitacre

Hi to Bobby, Mama and family. summer coming to an end fast (on the calendar, not in the temps)
take care, Rest.

Donna S on July 26 2010

Hi Jamie,

Glad to hear from you and glad that I’m not as busy as you are. Summertime is for rest and relaxation, will you be able to get any?

Look forward to seeing the set of “The FamilyTable”, can’t imagine Foodnetwork not picking it up!! Looking forward also to the new podcast. Take care and have a great week.

Diane on July 26 2010

Jamie. If I may make a suggestion. I think instead of trying to do a weekly blogg just go for a end of the month one like you did today. We all understand that you have a life and a busy one at that!! I personally would be happy to hear a update monthly…that way you can have time to sleep and enjoy breathing
Say Hi to Brooke, Jack, Bobby and your momma!!
Have a great August if I don’t hear from you before then…
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jack on August 21st…Maybe Miss Lisa will give you a little buddy on that day as well…:)
Take care Jamie!!

The show sounds great.  Do you have an iPhone app or podcast?  I love your mom but I need healthy recipes!

Teresa on July 26 2010

See y’all next week at the restaurant.  Coming to Savannah for a few days of well-earned R&R.

Lisa on July 26 2010

You have been very busy, we forgive you, especially the ones of us who have met you in person. You signed 3 book for me last summer in Fairhope. Look forward to new recipes. Enjoy the summer and that little boy of yours.

Missy on July 26 2010

Glad your back, you have been busy.

Hey Jamie,

You’re back!  Yea, it’s good to hear from you.  It sounds like you’ve been meeting yourself coming and going.  I hope your show gets picked up.  Please give us all the details when you have them.  I hope Jack has a Happy birthday.  I’m in agreement that we would like to hear from Bobby if he has some free time.

I hope you are staying cool this summer.  I’ll be glad when Fall gets here.

Sonya on July 26 2010

Sherri on July 27 2010

Hey Jamie,

It does look like you’ve been busy. If you don’t have time to do a blog we understand, just check in when you can(or use twitter if it’s easier).
Hopefully I’ll get to come down to Savannah soon. I’ve been wanting to for a long time but something always comes up! I’m really looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the next podcast too(love the music before and after each session).
Oh and one question for you that I hope you can answer, how many months in advance is an episode of “Paula’s Best Dishes” taped? Cause yesterday I was watching and the episode where Carol Fay Ellison aired and I know she passed away in April so I was just curious.

Mystie on July 27 2010

We all want to hear what’s going on with Bobby?  Is he still with Katy?  Any wedding plans?  Baby plans?  Come on, give us the juicy details.  Cant wait to hear from you again soon.  Take care.

Tina on July 28 2010

Mystie, the episode with Carol Fay was filmed back in November.

LisaTheAdmin on July 28 2010

Jamie, great to hear from you and WOW, you are super busy! This is all exciting stuff and I’m sure I’m not the only one that loves to hear about everything.  I also am very anxious about the pilot, I’m also anxious to get you to northern California so c’mon Jamie Hi to Brooke and hugs to Jack. 
Always, Tracey Lopez/Turlock, CA

Tracey on July 29 2010

Hi, Jamie. Hope all is well. Did Brooke’s family move to Savannah due to the economy, or did they just want to be close to you all? It sure is nice when all the family is in the same city/town.

Christine on July 29 2010

Saturday morning - Hey Jamie, just listened to the podcast.  Thank you for keeping us in the loop.  All of us know that you guys are busy but we really want to hear from you none the less.  Sorry to hear Bobby’s keeping fit will not be.  I enjoyed he recipes; even tried a few.  Glad he is working on a possible “something” with Gordon Elliott.  Seems as though he’s never in Savannah where his roots are.  “Nuf” said.  I know your Family Table will be a big hit.  All of us bloggers are looking forward to it. 
You mentioned possibly you and Bobby will do “something” together again.  We sure hope so.  You guys are so good together—guess cause you’re “bros”!!!!!
I know Jack’s birthday is coming up; mine too.  Glad that Brooke’s family is with her.  It’s nice to have mom and dad close by. 
Love your blog and hopefully Bobby will join in once in a while.  Enjoy the pictures that he puts on Twitter.  Thanks, Bobby.
Take care and as you always say, do good.  I’m trying to do just that.
HUGS to you both.  JANN

Jann on July 31 2010

Hey Jamie,

SOOOOO love all of your recipes!!  Just now able to be a stay at home mom and have started cooking alot!  You and Bobby and your mom keep my cooking going!

Would like to know if and when you will be coming to Fairhope, AL or Mobile, AL???

Jackie on August 02 2010

Hi, it’s me again.  Maybe Lisa can answer this one.  I read Brandon’s “tweets” all the time.  He’s a HOOT.  Anyway, he talked yesterday and today about a photo shoot with pigs, bunnys, turkeys, etc. 

Will this be one of the Best Dishes episodes where we can see the fun!!!!!????????? 

Thank you for answering. 
JANN

Jann on August 04 2010

Jann, I believe that was a photo shoot for the Cooking with Paula Deen magazine.

LisaTheAdmin on August 05 2010

Hey Jaime! Whatup! Our family arrived today in Savannah! It’s a Beau-ti-ful city! We hope to get to the lady and sons tommorrow. I’ve got to eat me some good veggies(too much fast food). Hey to Bobby too! See Ya and have a great day! Shelia Key/ NC

Shelia Key on August 08 2010

Hey Jamie,
Just left Savannah, our family got to eat at the lady and sons and Uncle Bubba’s. We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful city. My 8 year old son’s fave was the fountains near the city market! Us girl’s loved the shopping!!! I was bummed that I didn’t see y’all. I did see Jellyroll though ringing that bell. I’m also sorry I have been spelling your name wrong. I just realized that the other night. So Sorry!!
Have a Great Day! Shelia Key/ NC
