Default My Prayers Are Answered

Having fish tonight, needed a side dish so I thought I would do a fish n' chips kind of thing. Last time I fried potatoes I made a big mess so I bought a bag of steak fries for $2.99 and tried the oven bake method. When I had done this before they were pretty putrid so I was very happy and surprised when these came out edible. Great to see progress in cheap, frozen food. You don't even have to turn these suckers.

I'm feeling good about the rest of my life now that I have access to acceptable frozen pizza and steak fries.

And with a good Pale Ale you could be bound for the promised land or at least have reached total Zen

I've tried canned potatoes. They are cut up and cooked potatoes. I drain them and fry them up with butter and salt and pepper.

Try cooking the steak fries in an air fryer. Yum.

Wow, that's all you needed to turn your life around and set you up for the rest of your life? You must lead a very simple life and your prayers were indeed answered.

HHP, now that your life is complete, what will become of your guitars? I could provide a nice, loving home for them, and wouldn't even charge you anything!

Geez, Harry. Don’t overdo it with the carbs. But I’m glad retirement is treating you well.

Non-store brand frozen fries have been good for some time. Try the Idaho brand, if you can find them. I like the Checkers brand seasoned fries - and Nathan's onion rings, they go great with a cheeseburger from the grill.

I was making fresh potatoes and the oil was too hot. Let off quite a smoke cloud in my small place. Cleaning the pot afterwards was no fun.

Planning on an auction as part of my funeral service. I like the irony of "Going, going....GONE!"
