...GE makes a 4-quart fryer that's the only consumer-level fryer I've
come across that allows you to get the food deep enough in the fat to
fry it just like you would in a restaurant. Anything else just doesn't
do the job right, and the damn thing's only about $50 too.

Screw Atkins. I'm gonna look for one of these. Sometimes ya just gotta fry
sumthin'.

Anders Celsius, professor in astronomy at Uppsala,
Sweden, originally placed the fixed-points of his thermometer scale the
other way around, with 0 C at the boiling point of water, and 100 C at
the freezing point.

So, how would you measure something at twice the boiling point of water? 2x0
C?

Well, yes. It's true you're just taking out the u's the Normans put in the

Mother, is that you?

Pferd (horse) is like p-fair-d. The other e's are unstressed. -stär- is like
"shtair".

Think of how much the peanut oil to fill that baby costs! What you
save on the fryer you spend on the oil. What a way to go.l

I've recently acquired another oven, about 2,000 ft lower than the one
I've used for three decades. It's quite an interesting difference
between the two, probably because of both the altitude change and the
oven variation. Oh, well, I'll master this one eventually.

Good luck. I'm still fiddling with mine... been baking a LOT of chocolate
chip cookies lately. :-)

I did find it helped to buy an oven thermometer. The digital one in the
oven reads about 10-15 high.

The real advantage of one with high oil capacity is that it has great
thermal inertia; once you get the oil up to cooking heat, you can fry
quite a bit of food before the oil's temp drops too low for it to cook
properly and it needs to be reheated while you wait. The downside is
that you end up with a lot of used oil at the end of the frying cycle.

French story clipped Hmm, I thought this had been proposed during their
revolution.


...Ironically, thanks to most Wal-Marts being 24 hours, the issue of
not being able to get what you need if you don't get off work before
Midnight or you need it before sunup is no longer an issue, and may be
an excuse to give Sam Walton a nod towards sainthood. After my being
able to pick up an emergency pair of pants(**) last month while out
of town just before having to photograph a stripper contest in San
Antonio, the man deserves it.


Been there done that. Arrive in Gulfport MS for a business trip. Luggage
didn't.

Gulfport was the first place I found to have a 24-hour Wal-Mart. Dang good
thing.

Of course it also has a lot of pawn shops, used car lots, and casinos. Not
the prettiest town I've been in.

Though I will say the shrimp gumbo I had for lunch while watching the a
tanker come into port was quite good.

The customer was a government office. Gotta wonder about my tax dollars
when there's one person whose full-time job is to accept packages.

Which is all fine and good but UPS generally came 3-4 times a week and a
dozen handheld boxes at a time.

I kid you not.
