Badness

So Mel and I bought a deep fryer yesterday while shopping at the Superstore for weekly groceries. Prior to that, we hadn't owned one since we were both back on Neptune Rd in St. John's, NL during our university years. I believe I was in my last year of the B.Comm program at MUN and Mel was finished her degree and working with the Royal Bank downtown. Gosh, that seems like sunch a long time ago...1998. Sorry, I am digressing.

Back to the  deep-fryer...one of the treats we like to make is homemade poutine. French-fries baked in the oven are just not as good as ones in the oven. That is why we stopped buying french-fries altogether. In addition, since Mel became a Vegetarian I have cut down on the volume, and some types of meat, I eat. She does most of the cooking so it was only a logical progression. I don't think I don't know if I'll ever cut it out completely but won't rule out the possibility.

I find when I do (want) to eat meat, it has to be prepared a few specific way. Long gone are the days of fried steaks in the ole frying pan (sorry Mom!)...no, it has to be BBQ'd - and only BBQ'd. And it has to have minimal "marbleness" in it. Pork is out - I don't really like the taste anymore. I eat only turkey bacon now.

Once every blue moon, and this brings us me back to the deep fryer, I get a bad hankering for chicken wings once in a while. About 4-6 times a year to be exact. Baked chicken wings are not the same as deep fried ones.

So there you have it, we I bought deep fryer to cook poutine and chicken wings when I am craving badness.

In training news...I managed to catch up on some sleep mid week...doubled up runs for the past several days...tweaked my knee last night during my trainer ride...missing, yet again, another bike class with Keith, Katie, Chris n Jill. I'll take a few days off to settle it down and hopefully it doesn't stick around for 2 months like the last time.

That is about it for now, I can smell my coffee brewing downstairs so that is my cue!

Happy Sunday!
