Candy Grandpre Writes Dumb Ebook, Melts Down Over Honest Reviews, Slanders Reviewers

Candy has another ebook out. It is supposed to be a cookbook based on the cover of the book, but many (most?) of the recipes are non-food related. One is a recipe for a “detox” bath and another is a “cure” for menstrual cramps, which I’m sure any person hankering for a tasty meal wants to hear about.

In the book is a diatribe about gangstalking, directed energy weapons, and a preemptive warning that people who might leave her bad reviews are actually sex and organ traffickers that you should ignore.

If you were hoping for wonderful food recipes from a Louisiana native, well, you’re going to be disappointed.

Another bizarre thing about this ebook is the heavy use of URLs. The reader is expected to read those links. The problem with this, apart from being tacky, is that eBook readers generally disable copy-and-paste, so good luck copying those links to a web browser. You might be able to click on them if you’re lucky. This would be rather annoying if you printed out pages hoping to have a hard copy of recipes only to see a URL on your paper printout.

And yes, true to the warning in her book, she does melt down about people who leave bad reviews. She made a video accusing one reviewer, Star Bricker, of being a “sex trafficker” without any evidence whatsoever. She said Star’s review was “fake”, despite Star’s review being a verified purchase!

There is another bad review and yeah, Candy Ass melts down over that too.

  1. I have never wanted to scour Facebook more than I do right now. She is not going to last long in Texas. She is too much crazy to be in such a small town. People will talk and weirdness is like having a blinking Neon light of “Batcrap Crazy” suspended over your head. That cop clearly knew what was going on.
    And then there is this from a blog: I know a LEGAL Mexican when I see one, & I know an ILLEGAL Mexican when I see one!
    Not a good thing to even think in Texas right now. Or anywhere else. Of course she thinks being fat should be a protected group. Oy.

    • Part 2:

      Part 3 (talking to the police):

      Part 4 (the music’s not loud enough for the cop to take any action):

      Part 5 (wherein Candy complains that the police officer jammed her phone somehow):

      There are a couple of more parts but you get the idea.

      I wouldn’t completely defend the guy playing the music, he does seem to be quite the piece of work himself, but, once again, Candy’s needlessly escalating things just like she escalated things in the parking lot back in Pensacola.

  2. Don’t really know where this belongs so I’ll just put it here. Bryan Tew says Candy is a “real” TI and that Kevin Christian is a “perp”. No reasons given.

    I clipped this from a Facebook video upload.

    Kevin, if you’re reading this, please provide us with a response to being dissed by Bryan.

    • Oh, well that changes my mind. Yeppers. Bryan Tew would know and is a reliable source for truth.

  3. What does Candy mean when something is “fake”? She uses that a lot. This time she says this website is “fake”.

    What sexual perversions do we brag about here? Like when has any of us mentioned our sexual activity here? I’ve mentioned the perverted behaviors of some TIs, sure, but I’ve never “bragged” about any sexual activity of my own because uhh it’s none of your business.

    Talking about you or other TIs is not a crime, no matter how badly you’d like to make criticism of you a crime.

    • According to her sister, Candy has always related “fake” to being bad, wrong, something Candy doesn’t like. So when Candy says it, it doesn’t always mean artificial, like the rest of the literate population knows. It means she doesn’t like it. So this blog is “fake” because she doesn’t like it. But working on a street, sidewalk or parking lot so she has to walk around to get to her interview is fake, because she is such a narcissist that all work around her is done for no other reason than she is going to be inconvenienced. Or to make too much noise.
      When you have paranoid delusions you can use any word you want to mean anything you want, even when they don’t make sense. Like calling people, namely US, “sex traffickers.”

  4. Yeah, we’ve been busy this past few days and this did not help. Looks like I’m going to have to address a few issues tomorrow. And I didn’t even start with the recipes.
    First, you can’t make a sweet potato pie without using some kind of a binder, usually eggs. You can use an egg substitute, but that is not present, either. Apologizing that the recipes are not necessarily finished or good will get you no good reviews. She now has someone on Twitter telling her to go to the law. Because I said her cookbook sucked? Really?
    I addressed issues with the book and not at Candy as a person. Everything I said about the book I stand by.
    Oh, and this got a mention and a link on Twitter! So expect a lot of lunacy and hate. From people who have obviously not read her book. At least I did that. Cover to cover, because I read all my cookbooks that way.
    And one thing I didn’t mention in my review I wish I had was her use of “natural cures.” She has had an infected tooth for what…two years? She’s had warts on her hands forever. She still complains when she gets cramps. Just exactly WHERE IS THE CURE? She’s not cured a thing. She’s allowed things easily and quickly cure with a doctor’s visit to go on and on. That’s not helpful Candy, and using the word “cure” is not truthful.
    And then she says I am dying of cancer and insinuates natural cures would have….cured me? Stopped the cancer before it started? It would cure me the way her tooth assess is cured, NOT AT ALL. At diagnosis, I was told without any treatment, I’d have six months to one year. With treatment, my future was still unsure, and I would get to ampoint when the medications, the MODERN CHEMICAL MEDICATIONS, would stop working, but there were women on the same protocol for five years and longer. My diagnosis was in 2016, almost seven years ago. The meds are still working. My side effects are minimal. My mammogram shows no cancer. My last two whole body PET scans, done in December of the past two years show no evidence of active disease and even some healing. That means completely, long-term remission. And I’m going stronger every day. I spend less time in my bed than she does, and I have a really bad back and the x-rays to prove it. I am not dying of cancer, I am living WITH cancer, and living well.
    Suck it, Candy.
    Brownies That People Will Want to Eat…
    Heat oven to 350°: lightly spray a 13×9 inch pan.
    In a medium saucepan, over medium heat melt:
    2 sticks unsalted butter
    3 Oz. Unsweetened baking chocolate
    When melted , remove from heat and stir in the next ingredients, beating well after each:
    1 ¾ cup sugar
    3 eggs
    2t. Vanilla
    1t. Salt
    2½ t baking powder
    1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
    1¼ cup flour
    Any add-ins, I do walnuts and chocolate chips
    Spread in prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
    Here’s a handy hint: when you smell the brownies baking, they are done in about five more minutes.
    These will give you a nice blend of fudgy and cakes with a nice chewy edge. And the hallmark of all good brownies, a paper thin, shiny layer on top.
    If you use margarine, they will not be the same, so don’t come whining to me. I’ve not tried “veggie butter” because veggies don’t have tits and therefore cannot produce cream. And they are BROWNIES, a treat, not something healthy.
    And use only a single pan, so is easy to clean up.

    • Oh yeah, any time that Candy (or anyone else for that matter) talks about “natural” cures that are unsubstantiated by science-based medicine, it reminds me exactly of the character “Miss Information” from the season 4 South Park episode “Cherokee Hair Tampons”.

  5. Throwing social media temper tantrums and using obscene gestures in reference to companies you’ve unsuccessfully applied to certainly is not a good look to have for future prospective employers who do a social media background check.

  6. A few differently-colored vehicles parked in front of a Cricket Wireless store where Candy had a job interview is obviously the reason why Candy didn’t get hired. /sarcasm

    Why is it that no T.I.s ever seem to be able to say which color is an acceptable color to have on your car?

  7. Candy accuses Star Bricker of being a sex trafficker without evidence for leaving a bad review on her lame ebook.

    • What the fuck kind of cookbook is this? I read the sample pages (which are just random pages excerpted form the book that you can view without purchasing) and it’s a bunch of her rambling about gangstalkers and there were two “recipes” for things that weren’t even food items.

      One was a “detox” bath and the other was a “cure” for menstrual cramps.

      (I’m sure there is more content but that is all I could view with the free preview)

      And what is up with the URLs? Who puts URLs in a book? Do eBook readers even let you copy and paste text? Usually they don’t let you copy and paste for copyright reasons but I suppose they might allow URLs to be clicked.

    • I’m sure it’s “fine” but that “organic” soap does not look like anything I’d want to put on my skin.

      I think I’ll stick with my SoftSoap and my Head and Shoulders shampoo because I don’t find synthetic chemicals “scary”.

  8. Oh, and I make banana bread and brownies from scratch, from memory. From recipes that I have tweeted to make them better than the recipes I found. And they are always praised as the best people have eaten and are asked for. And I have to make two Strawberry Cream Pies, so people can take some home. And make them for every family get-together. They are that good. And all natural, real food. No packages of anything used.

  9. Oh, dear. I am old enough to have been a home-ec major, and wanted to be a home-ec teacher until I found out I would have been obsolete about a year before graduating. Because I write well and love to cook, a counselor suggested combining the two and become a food writer. Instead I went with the thing I have always wanted to be, a wife and mother. So I still cook, and I have always read cookbooks, cover to cover before using a recipe from that book. Even Julia Child’s. You learn a lot about cooking and food history. You also learn about food combinations, what works and what doesn’t.
    I have also developed my own recipes. The family favorites are both pies, a Fresh Pineapple Pie and a Fresh Strawberry Cream pie. I also make the best lasagna, fresh pasta sheets, roasted butternut squash and vegetables, duxelles, and ground turkey breast, with Gruyere and Emmenthaler cheese. Or stuffed Buttercup Squash with pork and mushrooms. Really, I have experience. Before a recipe is completed, it needs several tries, tweeking seasonings or adding a missing flavor profile. I don’t share your creations until they meet my standards, and I don’t share a recipe until you know it is able to be made “right,” by anyone….if they follow the recipe.
    What Candy has thrown together is not a cookbook. Some of it is not even food. Included are things she calls “cures,” which is dicey with the FDA. If she has mentioned food in a short story, she includes it as a “recipe,” even things she has not made herself. Making instant oatmeal in a microwave is not really a recipe, it is a tip. Stirring coconut oil into everything does not make it healthier, pink salt is still just salt and contains sodium like all salt does, no matter the color. Her lack of anatomical knowledge shows, as does her trust in anything touted as “natural.” You cannot “detox” by bath or supplement, because that is the function of your kidneys and liver. Eating/drinking mud does nothing for menstrual cramps, because there are no links between cramps and your digestive system. Her diet is awful, as can be seen by her weight. The crap she made in New Orleans last year was unappetizing, both look and ingredient combination. And her saying “I’m from New Orleans, cooking is in my blood,” is just stupid.
    Hey, she admits to putting freaking TUNA into LOBSTER BISQUE! That right there should keep her out of any kitchen. Someone who doesn’t understand the ratio of uncooked rice to water, or thinks not soaking or boiling beans to make them edible doesn’t belong in a kitchen. And definitely does not have what it takes to write a cookbook. Especially one that relies on so many links.
    Candy, you are not a good story teller, nor a good short story writer. But both of those are steps ahead of the quality of your “cookbook.” It is obvious you have never just read a cookbook, nor spent time in a kitchen, making anything. Go get cookbook, read it, understand that those recipes work because they have been used for years, even decades.
    Geez……

    • I listened to her video about making banana bread and how she was trying to give away extra loaves to neighbors. I was thinking how reluctant I would be to eat anything she touched or prepared b/c of her nonexistent hygiene.
