Every once in awhile I crave something deep fried and crispy. Whether it be a french fried potato,onion rings or chicken wings. Nothing can compare to the crispy crunch of properly fried food. And yet as everything in life it doesn't stop there.
Did you ever have a deep fried Twinkie? Or how about a deep fried Snicker's bar?
These days the food fanatics are deep frying just about everything from Shrimp Balls to Squash Blossoms. It seems if they can figure out how to put it on a stick and then dunk it in Funnel Cake batter it's destined to make its way into a deep fryer.
It all started when the ankle bracelet queen Martha Stewart decided to show every out door chef how to deep fry a Thanksgiving dinner. Then just about anything was put to the deep fry test. Spaghetti and meatballs,Tofu,all kinds of candy bars and any other odd thing to plunge into the 360 degree oil bath.
Tonight I went into the storage closet where all of my kitchen machines and gadget's hang out to find my trusty old deep fryer. Ah, there it was in all its greasy glory. After unwrapping it from its protective plastic bag I opened the lid. It seems the last time I used it I was lazy enough to not clean it before packing it away. No big deal,
I heated it up a bit and wiped out all of the oil stuff then cleaned it really good.
So there it sits on the kitchen counter waiting to see what I will decide to cook first. Will it be clams or potatoes? chicken or shrimp?
...Hmmm.???
How about deep fried Cupcakes or Pizza, Oreo's or Lasagna?
Catfish or Pickles, Twinkies, Pork Rinds or Road Kill?
