There’s no doubt about it: Paula Deen’s got her name attached to some pretty ridiculous products (a $50 Paula Deen Egg & Muffin Toaster, anyone?)

As you may know, Paula has her own line of furniture as well. I must admit, some of the items look really nice. While I can’t speak for how well they’re made, I can say I’d probably sit through an entire episode of Guy’s Big Bite for that Savannah 4 poster bed.

As is so often the case with Paula’s products, her marketing machine is working behind the scenes 24/7 to make the items as appealing to her fan base as possible. Take this lovely tobacco desk, for example. It’s not an “office desk” or a “letter writing desk.” Oh no. It’s a “RECIPE WRITING DESK” (insert gigantic eye roll here).

FNH reader Mo spotted this little gem while browsing the internet, and wrote in to share her thoughts:

I had no idea Paula was hawking a freaking recipe writing desk. What the hell is a recipe writing desk? A desk to go next to your “pay the bills” desk and your “letter writing desk?” O
r maybe you could squeeze it in next to the ever popular “internet porn surfing desk” (that one’s by Bobby Flay, natch.) The PD recipe writing desk should be a giant stick of butter or maybe a freaking gurney. Or one of those snazzy hospital tables so you can write your recipes on it while recovering from the trauma of eating Deen’s food.

I could go on about one of these pieces having a color called “tobacco” or the insane pricing, or that there’s a whole line called “The Bag Lady.” When i go shopping for new stuff, I always look for “hobo” and “bag lady” stuff first. That signals QUALITY! Susie Fogelface would be proud.

Proud, indeed!
