You should try Ellie Krieger’s recipe for oven “fried” chicken–superb, and actually really healthy.

Also, I own a fryer, and the main thing that keeps me from frying every day is that for DAYS afterward, everything in my apartment smells and feels slightly greasy. But I do need to fry up some candy bars again sometime soon. Hmm.. . .

And I thought I could not like you more after I read about the bacon ice cream…you have proved me wrong with the candy bars.

Hmmm . . . I’ve got chicken, yogurt, breadcrumbs and spices at home . . . and this sounds delicious. I think I’ll make it tonight! Thanks for the idea.

I aim to please. Let me know what you think.

Ah, but I betcha put it on wicked hahd when you tualk witcha fee-amily, though, right? (Or do they only say “wicked” in Mass? I could never figure that out when I was in RI… ) It’s a pretty cool accent, like a mix between Boston and New York / Philadelphia.

You know, I have almost lost it totally. It comes out sometimes when I am drunk and when I am super tired. And yes, we say wicked, grinder (sub), and bubbler (water fountain).

You can change my name to “Just one more drink”.
I live in the South where fried anything is a way of life, not a novelty.

I would die of a heart attack if I lived in the south, no joke. Also, I would finally shed the last remaining remnants of my RI accent, which would make me sad. It is barely there to begin with anymore.

Death by fried poundcake-nutella sandwich? I could certainly come up with worse ways to go. I’m just saying.

Oh man, throw in Ryan Reynolds fanning me as I eat that poundcake sandwich and I think I would also die happy.

I like the tips for substituting spices for what you actually have on hand. I remember the time I bought a $12 tin of some wacky herb that I used *once* – maybe coulda instead used something already in my cabinet.

I love the deep frying discussion happening in your comments right now ;-p

That is the beauty of cooking…you work with what you have. One of my main complaints about Cooking Light is a lot of times the recipes will call for 1/8 tsp of like 7 obscure spices. It’s not only money, but also, space!

Cathal Armstrong has a Fish and Chip shop in Alexandria. Fried fish, chips, candy bars, etc.

Field trip?

EAMONS! I have been there and it is heaven, yet I did not get the candy bar. Must go soon!! Do I need a permission slip?

There’s a restaurant, can’t think of which one now, that offers a deep fried Milky Way… or was it a Snickers? Either way, since my impulse control is exactly like yours it’s an excellent and delicious sounding idea that I will stay far, far away from.

Or maybe we can get one together…Yes, I am evil.

I have a friend who went to the Minnesota State Fair, at which one could obtain just about anything on a stick. In addition to the usual Oreo/Snickers/brownie, you could also get Mac’n'Cheese and Sloppy Joes. Fried. On a stick.\

Re: sandwiches – I would vote pb and nutella, monte-cristo style. Heck, batter up that pound-cake-nutella sandwich you posted a while back. That would be stellar.

I have had fried mac and cheese on a stick…SO GOOD. And I think the fried poundcake sandwich may, in fact, kill us if we tried.
