Bark, DW and I share a similar palate to you. A couple of years ago we decided we wanted deep fried mozzarella sticks like you get in the pub. Remember, we live an hour from Calgary and 25 mins from the nearest pub. With the new legally impaired limit (0.05 in Alberta loses you your driver's license and your vehicle, I don't know how anyone goes to the pub anymore. Not worth losing my license or a $70 cab ride - if I can even get a cab out here in the sticks. Sooooo, back to the point of the story, we wanted deep fried mozzarella sticks. Here is the secret. Take the mozzarella stick, flour dredge it, egg wash and bread crumb it. THEN the big secret. Put the breaded mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least an hour and 24 hrs if you had the foresight to plan supper a day ahead(I have never planned drinking food a day ahead, but that might be just me). Once frozen, deep fry at 360F until crispy. Mmmmmmmmmm, fried, breaded and gooey goodness.
Have you ever tried deep fried dill pickle slices? Use a tempura batter. They are too awesome.
If you want any other ideas for deep fried goodness, just ask. We have a ginger beef recipe that people will drive a lot of miles for.

How I spent part of the weekend.
Grand-Daughter's 2nd Birthday.
She wanted to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks............again.
Wifey caught some kind of 'bug', ..... she's been coughing and feeling like crap for three days.
Hope she didn't give it to me.
Rode the Geezer-Glide to Casa Del Shovelhead over the weekend.
Trip back today was H-O-T.
Lovin' the AC and an ice cold adult beverage.

Morning all, another rainy morning. The wife has been studying what the food police has been pushing on us and most of it is as bad, if not worse than what they are telling us not to eat. It is either toxic to start with or becomes toxic either by being mutated (hybrid-ed) or over processed until it becomes toxic. We have eliminated quite a number of things out of our food and it has made a very noticeable difference in our health.

According to the food police (past, anyway)
Butter is bad. Margarine, made from poly unsaturated industrial scrap fats (never mind that to get the texture of butter, it has to be then saturated) is good.
.......Turns out, butter is good for you. It has some actual food value from the cows.
The greenies would have you believe you'll die in agony like an unwanted wasp from the pesticides in our vegies and fruits. It's actually parts per billions, probably (by 1000's to 1) not significant at all. Not eating good food, like vegies and fruit, will kill you, mostly from the toxins you make yourself if you don't crap often enough.
They just found out that chemotherapy hurts cancer, and also hurts healthy cells, which then give off a protein that makes the cancer grow, invade, and become immune to chemotherapy. So what have we been seeing in our loved ones killed by this expensive stuff? duh
So, if you want to go nuts on the deep fried stuff, the Minnesota State Fair is famous for gazillion calorie deep fried everything on a stick.
I'm for a clean environment, but for the last 30 years or so, the claims and especially the "solutions" are getting downright dangerous to our well being. Classic example. A minnow (delta smelt) is accidentally transplanted into marshland in California. (The definition of an invasive species.) That same minnow supposedly being endangered becomes cause to shut down the San Joaquin Valley, which used to be one of the world's best and most productive food production areas.

Mornin all, gonna be a hot one here on the edge of the Canadian prairies. It is going up to about 90f. For you southern Merkins that is winter weather but up here, that is HOT. Remember that in 3 months we could be dealing with temps around -40F. I am better at dealing with the cold, you just put on more clothes. Most houses up here, mine included don't have A/C. When it is that hot, what do you do? You can only get so nekkid and you are still sweating.
My sister, her husband and their youngest daughter are coming out for the night, tonight. It will be fun but it could have been so much more fun. 2 weeks ago yesterday, my niece (6 yrs old) broke her left leg. Non- displaced but complete fracture of the tib and fib just below the knee. She is in a cast from her groin to her toes for 4 more weeks. We bought both nieces 50cc quads the days before she broke her leg
. The quads were not involved in the fracture. It sucks that she is going to be here on one of the hottest days of the year and she can't go in the pool, use the new quad or do anything. Poor kidlet. Ah well, kids will be kids.
We will find a way to make it fun for her anyway.
Have a good day all. Keep your head up and your stick on the ice....

Wife is doing better. She is up and around trying to get back into her routine. She was thinking of driving into town and do some shopping until,,,,,. A little background first. She has been on some pretty heavy duty narcotic pain meds and was told not to drive. She have been off them for a couple days so she thought she would be fine. Well, enter the cat. Cat was hungry and being a pest in the kitchen just before the wife was ready to leave. I pick up the cat and the wife tries to decide which can to give the cat. So she grabs a can and puts it under the cats nose and, Oh, she can't smell it in the can. Why can't they put a cent dot on them, you know, like a scratch and sniff on them so she will know what they smell like,,,,,,,????????
I'm driving!

If they would just tell me tobacco is good for me I would be happy. Its been 6 months since my last cigar.
slevhansen the ones you dont feel are the best ones.
Howdy Lary, must have been a good one if you feel like ya came back too soon.
Dang it, I keep hearing that those are good but I havent tried em (they dont sound like they should be good).
We have aluminum foil on our bedroom windows. Kinda matches the rest of the house ambiance (combination cabin/house/bomb shelter).
Well Kids!! I get to leave right now for five fun days in Anchorage, Chugiak and Willow.
It will be a good trip if they let me kill somebody.

Cranking up the computer anti-virus.
I think I caught whatever bug (flu) Wifey has..........
Feel like I'm freezing, ache, wanna grab a 55 gallon drum of Nyquil and sleep for a couple of days.
Might have to call in sick for the first time since 1982.
