Hi Jamie,

Glad to hear from you and looking forward to the new updates to the site in December. Have to agreed, Jack was just darling on the cover and the photo’s inside. He looked like he was really enjoying himself!!

A suggestion, what would you think of posting some pictures of how you present your food when you entertain. Do you serve family style, do you serve individual plates, how do you decorate the table? If you are entertaining for a large crowd, do you set up one table for the food or have more than one table? How do you recommend setting up the bar? Do you do anything special in serving your food when it’s just dinner with Brooke and Jack?

What about a section of “out takes”, you know, the mistakes that never make it.

Take care and have a great week!!

Diane… I love the out take idea!

Hey Jamie…..........

SO SO happy to see you back!  Missed you like crazy!

You’re schedule is so crazy but you do look like you have fun too!

I would love for you to post pictures, interviews and “snippets” of your travels.  Would love to see what happens while you are out and about!
Also, would love a section on full meals, you know your cheeseburger casserole and what YOU serve with it.  Full meal plans.  I have such a hard time trying to figure out what goes with what.

Jack is darling…what magazine did you say he was on?  Can’t see the title for his sweet face!!! Guinny looks a little smitten too!!

Looking forward to the changes, hoping for more photos!  And can’t wait for your new project!

You know I love ya,
Deb M
Love to Brooke and Jack too!

I am looking forward to seeing the new changes in December.  Let’s hear more from Bobby—he’s been too quiet lately.   I think an out takes or blooper video would be great too.  Also any tips ya’ll may have for holiday entertaining.

Take care and safe travels on the remainder of your book tour.  I’m coming down to Savannah in November so with any luck maybe I will catch ya’ll in when I come to the restaurant.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed anyway

Dawn on October 19 2009

Hey Jamie!  Great to see you are back at home, for now anyway.  Thanks to the team for the new recipes.  Also, Jack is adorable on that cover!!!

Have a question, do you have any personal recommendations for accomadations there in downtown Savannah?  We have stayed at the Ballastone in the past and loved it.  Would love to stay at Tybee, but too far…need something within walking of the squares (love to meander).  Any thoughts?

Thanks and hope you get a few quiet moments with your beautiful family!

Hey Jamie,

I was so happy to see you had posted a new blog today.  I really need a little cheering up and needed to smile.  Had a pretty rough day at work and needed something to take my mind off of it for a little while.  THANKS.  I love this month’s issue of Good Housekeeping.  My mom brought it to me and I was so excited to see Jack & Paula on the cover.  Jack is growing up so fast and he is a very handsome young man.  Can’t wait for the new changes to the website. Haven’t thought of any suggestions yet but I’m going to keep trying to think of something good.  Of course you know we would all love to see a pictures of Bobby with no shirt…LOL (Love ya Bobby) But then again any picture of Bobby or you would be great.  Maybe add some pictures from your book signing tour.  I have plenty of those if you need any…LOL   Anyway have a great week and a great time in AZ.  Tell Bobby HEY for me….THANKS

Hi Jamie, Glad to see your back. My husband & I were at the book siging at U.B. Oyster House, on the 14th. Had a great time. My husband was the one with the Georiga bull dog cap you and Bobby, signed. But turned out to be a Gator. (SORRY). But the Dawgs, did good last Sat. We watched most of it. But you know what happens on Halloween at 12:30,  Good Luck!
Love you guy’s

Hi Deb M,

Thanks for the note, I am following Hollis now twitter….Hi Jamie, I hope yours and Bobby’s tour is going well.  I will be seeing in D.C.  is Bobby no longer on twitter, haven’t seen much from him lately.  I wish y’all much happiness and love….

Carol on October 21 2009

Dear Jamie,

Thank you for taking the time to write this post welcome back!!!!!!!! As for suggestions for the new website launch in December, it would be nice if you added a tab at the top that included a bio section for the administrators such as Ms. Lisa who help keep the site going. Ms. Lisa and Mr. Phil have stepped in to update etc… in your place when you and Mr. Bobby scheduled is too hectic for you to post etc… I also agree with respecting Mr. Bobby’s space such as what type of information or pictures you post and the same for you as well. I also think that it would be nice to have a section where you list and have contest. Two to four a year if possible to keep the fans interested in your new adventures. Such prizes could be a trip to join you for a day on your next book tour etc… Don’t worry, I won’t be apart of much of the DeenBros website or Mrs. Paula’s.  Lastly, it would be nice if the podcast would continued and be updated more often as you promised in the past. Even if the podcast are not recorded on a week basis and a bunch could be recorded at a time but only one at a time is posted every two weeks (some celebrities who do podcast record an entire series ahead of time and just post ten or more minutes each week) and having the podcast separate from the blog might be helpful with a link to them.

I am just a fan though.

Hey Jamie..glad to see you back. I bought that GH magazine last week! Jack is sooo handsome. I think I’ll tell my 6yr old to wait on him when they get old enough Cause you know MY girls are the most beautiful girls on the planet!
Sent ya a message over at Get Cooking about the salad dressing again..check it out when you get a chance and let me know.
Keep posting great recipes on your site..photos would be great too. Maybe you can do something like on Get Cookin, but that might be overload though. Yall will come up with some great ideas!
Hope to see ya in December!

Alyce on October 21 2009

Hey Guys!! Bloopers would be great and look forward to the new stuff on the site.  Jacki is growing up soo fast.  Time for another one!! G’ma is looking beautiful as usual.  More pics of you guys would also be wonderful.  Best to all!!

Robin B on October 22 2009

Hey Jamie,

I did think of another idea for the new web site.
I think I’ve mentioned it before…...

Would love to have links to all the different magazine articles, TV interviews or photo shoots you and Bobby are in.

It would make it so easy for us, your fans and friends, to find y’all!

For example…when you put the link to the I can’t believe it’s not butter web site on your blog.  Made it easy to find you!!!!

Just a thought!

Have a wonderful time in Scottsdale this weekend.

Wish I could be there…..

love,

Deb M

Deb M on October 22 2009

Jamie!!!!
How could you be any stinkin’ cuter!!!!!
The butter video is a hoot as well as educational!!!!
Did you really drink that butter?
So very cute….
Thanks..
love,
Deb M

Deb M on October 22 2009

Jamie
I was at the NYC Food and Wine Festival and attended your show.  It was absolutely the funniest thing.  I loved the fact that your mama showed up and kinda took over or shall I say did take over.  We loved it - from my 80 year old mom, to my husband to my 12 yr old son.  We all love your family.  Thank you!

Denise on October 22 2009

Hi, Jamie and Bobby!!!!

I think that Bobby should have his own blog! and up-date pictures of the family. That my suggestion for the web-site.
Bobby needs to twitter too!!!  Where has he been? I miss him!
Oh,, the article in GH was good of Paula and little Jack. He growing way to fast.
Bye, bye

Melisa Yerger on October 22 2009

for the web site upgrade.. an option to increase font. some sites have a font size button to click and the page increases to make it easier to read.
more pics of course, especially any from tours and travels.
Love the GH mag cover and article. Mr Jack cant take a bad photo, no one in your family can, squeeze a cheek! lol

always good to see a new blog. many thanks to admin for keeping things active and up to date when time is tight for the family. Pass the word that Paula’s site is looking really good nowadays too! your Geeks Rock.

Happy Halloween y’all! what’s Jack’s costume this yr?
be safe, have fun

Donna S on October 23 2009

Hi Jamie!
I really enjoyed the videos you did for the new section on your mom’s website.
Did you ever come up with a good dressing for that watermelon and corn salad?
Jenny

Jenny Brady on October 24 2009

Deb M Has some WONDERFUL ideas Jamie… Oh and by the way “thanks” for allowing Deb M. and me to be friends. Would NOT have happened if it wasn’t for your blog!!!
And everyone Hollis does need friends on twitter! he is SOOO sweet I asked him to be my “friend” and now he is!!!
Happy Fall to all!!

Andrea Lepinske on October 25 2009

Donna,

You can increase the font size on any site. This is built in to most all browsers. Go to the “view” tab in your menu bar. In Internet Explorer, you’ll see an option for “font size” that allows you to increase or decrease. In Firefox, it’s the “zoom” option.

Lisa the Admin on October 26 2009

Hey Jamie!
Always great to hear from you!  Looking forward to the new changes on the Deen Bros. site in Dec. and to hear about your new project, hopefully soon!  Got the GH mag. and Jack is so adorable (but his pics are always so so cute!!) and your mom looks beautiful, as always.  Looked like they had so much fun during the photo shoot!  Tell Bobby thanks for the tweet…hope he sends us more tweets over on twitter! 
Speaking of twitter…fellow bloggers, I would also like to mention along with Deb M. and Andrea that Hollis is looking for more people to follow him on twitter!  I follow Hollis on twitter too and he’s so nice and he’s fun to follow!  His twitter name is hollisdeen.
Jamie, like the ‘How-to’ videos you did…funny and great tips!  One thing I was wondering…with all that beautiful clarified butter, I didn’t see any crab legs to go with it!   I like Bobby’s ‘Lighten Up’ section too.  Love the original recipes but looking forward to trying Bobby’s lighter versions.
Hope your having fun in Cali and wish you and Bobby safe travels back home.
Take care!!!

Marina on October 27 2009

thanks Lisa, i had a blonde moment..lol now i got it, and Cntrl+ does the trick too!
another idea for the site here, like at Paula’s, a recipe box. .. altho alot of great recipes are listed here, and easy to get to, it would be nice to sort favs in a personal box. Would that be too confusing since we dont log in here? just a thought..
thanks again!
and another Howdy to Jamie and Bobby!

Donna S on October 27 2009

Glad to hear everything is going great! I will think of some ideas for the site. Doing anything for Halloween? Is Jack going out to enjoy the treats? I will see you and Bobby next week in DC. I can’t wait to meet you guys!!! Have a great weekend.

Kimberly Whitacre on October 29 2009

Hi Jamie,

It was wonderful meeting you in Scottsdale last weekend! You and Bobby were so fun to watch during your cooking segment! LOL…well maybe not so much the cooking, but I do wish I had those ovens you used! Hahaha. You both had me laughing through the whole thing. Thanks for taking time to sign my books, take pictures and chatting with me. Oh…and did I tell you that your Minon is the best! Lisa has done so many great things with your site, I know the re-launch in December will be awesome because she is on top of it!!

Seeing you, Bobby and Paula at the Woman’s Conference on Monday was just as great! I missed your segment there, but was glad to be able to come up and say hi to both of you after. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. Not sure if I answered your question the right way…my husband is Federal…so not the right one to give out that kind of advice…right…and no photo radar pictures were taken of us on the way home! I am however holding him to his promise for our 20th wedding anniversary….in March…March is when it is!!! LOL So March, 2011 we will hopefully get to see you in Savannah!

Enjoy the last part of your tour! Thanks again for everything, it was such a pleasure meeting you!

Rose on October 29 2009

Rose and Deb. Nice to see you here too. We love our Deen brothers so much!!!

Kimberly Whitacre on October 29 2009

Jamie are you gusy coming in the day before the DC show? If you guys are coming in early you should stop by my shop and I will take you guys out for lunch or dinner. I am serious!!!!

If you are flying in to BWI I am 15 minutes from the airport. If you are flying in to Dulles then I am 40 minutes away. Stop by and see a fan. The website for the store will give you the address… http://www.lilysbridal.net

I was taught you never know unless you ask. So I am asking. I know a LONG shot but you never know.

PS - I am the sock lady from Twitter. Bobby will know what I mean. Hopefully he will remember!!

See you in DC.

Kimberly Whitacre on October 29 2009

Hi Jamie!

Congratulations, on what sounds like, a very successful book tour.

Hope you sold a lot of books!!

Hope you are home for a few days.

Happy Halloween to you, Brooke and sweet baby Jack!  Hoping to see a photo of your precioous son in his costume.  Maybe you will bring back Superman for the big day!!!!

I hope to see a new blog soon, miss hearing about your week.

Enjoy Trick or Treating!

Much love to you,

Deb M

Hey guys and Lisa ~

I haven’t written in a while. Life on my end of the block is a bit, um, dramatic to say the least.

Jamie, I have the Good Housekeeping magazine - your son is so adorable. Your Mother looks like she is having the time of her life with him.  Super cool.

I had to cancel the cruise for January - that darn drama - changed my plans. Next time. My friends and I still want to get to Savannah. Perhaps spring. Hollis invited us to go Jazz/Blues hopping along with one other person - who shall remain nameless.

Hope you had a wonderful Halloween (my favorite).
My party was memorable - indeed! If the walls could talk!

Catch you later and don’t work too hard ~

Lisa

p.s.  B - saw your reply on S. I can’t go on for a bit. I will be back in a week or so.

Lisa of Minneapolis on November 01 2009

Jamie! your Baby boy is no longer a baby! he has lost that “baby” look. what a handsome young man he is…takes after his daddy and Uncle Bobby!
Have a awesome time finishing your tour.
Love to all.
Andrea L.

Andrea Lepinske on November 02 2009

Jamie,

Saw the Good Housekeeping cover. .  .precious!!  I have to say that Jack is looking more like you.  Either way he can’t go wrong.  You’re so handsome and Brooke is an absolute beauty!  Best wishes to you and Bobby!

Gina on November 02 2009

Congratulations, on what sounds like, a very successful book tour.

If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to get the home loans. Furthermore, my mother commonly takes a term loan, which occurs to be the most useful.
