This gem of an "interview" aired on my all time favorite radio show, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, about a year ago. But I just thought of it again yesterday.
In this clip, Peter and all the panelists take turns verbally gawking at the high-fat recipes in Paula's oeuvre. Though certainly entertaining, the whole affair is sort of weird and fetishistic. But where it could get a little uncomfortable, Paula steps in and turns it right around.
Take this exchange, for instance. One panelist asks what could be a smug I'm-making-fun-on-you (and-also-limiting-your-identity) question about her new furniture line:
"How do you deep fry an ottoman?"
And instead of responding with any kind of defense, hardy-har, or eye-rolly comment, the witty and utterly self-aware Paula says:
"Oh it's easy honey, you just dip it in egg first."
Love.
