You say it’s your birthday….
June 29th, 2010

it's my birthday too. At least for another hour or so.

Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes on my birthday today, although I have reached an age where it's OK to let one ( or seven) slide by unnoticed.

I had a great day with my family and spent the night at one of my favorite restaurant here in Savannah, Ele, with thirty of my best friends. I am happy happy happy to have received an iPad from my beautiful wife. Yea! I have been chomping at the bit to buy one but am glad I waited. The whole "anticipation is the best part" thing may be true.

Which leads me to a special thanks- To Deb M., Rose and Andrea who sent me the most awesome leather iPad case. Did Brooke call y'all?

Thanks again to all, I gotta hop on a plane in the am to AZ for the day. Duty calls and we answer. Brooke celebrates her birthday Thursday and Jack is around the corner in August so keep those candles burning, we are just getting started.

Quick pilot update: The team here is crazy about the finished product and it will ship to The Food Network next week so keep your fingers crossed for me....or put FN on the speed dial and demand "The Family Table" be picked up immediately!

Until next time, Y'all do good things

Jamie:  Happy “B” day, a day late and Happy “B” a day early for Brooke.  Can’t wait to see your new show.  Hope you have your brother on there once in a while.  Saw the Father’s Day show with your son.  He’s such a little doll. 

Thanks for “tweeting” us, Bobby.  Good to hear from you and where you are. 

Don’t have an iPad, iPhone or “I” anything.  The computer is about all I can manage!!!!

Take care and HUGS to you both.

Happy belated Birthday, to you and Brooke and early Happy Birthday to Jack.  Samantha is turning 16 on August 7th - she just gave me the photo album you autographed and thanks for having the family sign it as well.  I don’t think there are words to thank you! I am looking forward to Food Network picking up your show.  I am looking forward to your next book, and when do we get the next magazine?  OK, enough pressure.  Please know you have put a smile on my face for a long long long time to come.
Always,
Tracey

 

Tracey Lopez on July 07 2010

Carol B. on July 15 2010

 

Where’s Jamie??  Sherri SC

 

Sherri on July 16 2010

 

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Deen ............are you out there somewhere??????

A quick hi or something…..WE miss y’all!!!!!

much love,

Deb M

 

Deb M on July 20 2010

 

Hey Deb M how are you doing?  I think Jamie took the summer off.. ha ha…  I will see Paula tomorrow in Delaware I will ask her what up!!

Jennifer

 

Jennifer on July 22 2010

 

Okay, I am in need of convincing…....from someone, anyone out there.  I know that I am going to ruffle the feathers of more than one diehard fan for approaching this, but I am also looking for someone to change my mind.

First let me preface this by saying that I understand that Jamie and Bobby are busy guys, with busy work lives and busier personal lives.  And I am truly thrilled for them both.

Having said that, could someone please give me a reason to continue to bookmark this website on my list of favorites?  Except for a SEMI-regular blog from Jamie, there have been no updates to this website in months.  There hasn’t been a podcast since April, no home movies since, maybe, March, and no update to ‘Get Fit with Bobby’ since February.  Even pics for the 2nd season of “Road Tasted” have not been added.

I’m not a Facebook user.  I get all my news and updates from websites and from Twitter.  Aren’t these things utilized for the purpose of self-promotion??  If I drop this website, I will likely not know when the next magazine or cookbook is released because Twitter is updated almost as infrequently as this website.  Isn’t that the kind of information that one would want to get out to as many people as possible?

So…..I’m listening for a while longer if anyone would like to chime in and help convince me.

Thanks…and I apologize if I’m sounding just a little cranky.

 

Kate from MA on July 22 2010

 

Hey Jennifer!!!!!

What a good idea.  Please tell Miss Paula hello from me too!!!

How the heck have you been?  I STILL look at my magazine almost every day amd just smile!!!!!!!!!

Have fun tomorrow, let me know how it goes, ok?????

Love ya,

Deb M

P.S.
Hi Jamie!!!!!! Hi to you too Miss Lisa!!!!!

 

Deb M on July 23 2010

 

Kate and Deb,

I agree where are the Deen Bros. maybe that should be the new show…LOL   I miss them also.  It seems life is keeping them busy but you have to remember it gets to all of us at one point or another.  I know their fans are important to them, let’s give them the space and let them take care of business. WE DO MISS YOU JAMIE AND BOBBY!!!! Trying to do good things….

 

Carol B. on July 23 2010

 

Where is Jamie? Jamie hasn’t posted anything to his blog since June 29th. I know Jamie must be busy and all, but it’s been nearly a month.

Christine

 

Christine on July 23 2010

 

Kate,

I couldnt tell you how many times I have started a email like that but didnt have the nerve to send it.  Its the support from true fans that have put the Deen Bros where they are today, would it be so hard to take 15 minutes out of your week for a little update.  They could even call it in and let someone from corporate type it in.  I saw Jamie and Jack at the Delaware State Fair last night so we now know he is not missing….

Jennifer J

 

Jennifer J on July 24 2010

 

No ruffling of feathers here and no appology is necessary either. I’m sorry Kate, I have nothing to offer that will change your mind because I agree with you 100%! I have already given up on following them on Twitter and on Facebook. I rarely come here anymore either and it’s for that same reason. Neglect. It’s sad….really sad.

 

Debie on July 25 2010

 

After reading Debie and Kate blog it saddens that the fans do not show support to Jamie.  It is obvious that everything is throw on his lap, I do love Bobby also but he got himself a girl and follows her around like a lost puppy and he completely forgotten about his fans and it seems his family obligations.  Jamie seems to have to pick up the pieces and take care of everything.  Plus, he also has Brooke and Jack to worry about.  I just thank Jamie for all the things he does do and thank him for at least trying to keep us updated.  Jamie there are a lot of fans who support and thank you for everything.  Have a talk with your brother and get some help.smile
