Deep Fry It

Fact: When you get married you get a lot of wedding presents.
Fiction: The man will love and use every single one of those presents.
Fact: 1 in 25 of those presents will be cherished by the man.

That 1 in 25 for me was the Deep Fryer.
Trisha and I have been married for almost 4 months now and last night was the first night that we broke out the Rival Cool Zone 3L Deep Fryer.

And Frying, did we.

We didn't have enough Canola Oil, so I had to go to the store to buy some more (apparently the stuff is pretty expensive...somewhere between $7-12 gallon...put that into perspective when filling up on gas).Then the Fry Party began.
We fried Chicken.
We fried Okra.We fried Corn Nuggets.
We fried pickles.
And here's our finished product...a heap of artery cloggers...and man was it delicious.I had planned on frying some snickers too...just because, but after we ate all of the other food there was absolutely no room left in the inn to put the snickers. So we decided to wait and take that venture on another day.Not really sure what brought on our urge for the fried foods, but I do know that it did not help my weight goal by the end of October.

Big Brother

I haven't seen Eagle Eye yet, but the concept behind big brother has been with me since I read 1984 in the 8th grade. Either way, this is what this picture reminded me of...except for Big Brother has a dirty mustache.
