He had a big deep fryer (I know that sounds technical, huh?) outside on the porch, and it didn't take any hardly time for it to cook/fry! Try it! Try it!katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607021391866797662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-21728426619963468062008-11-15T10:48:00.000-06:002008-11-15T10:48:00.000-06:00Please promise that you will post the entire menu ...Please promise that you will post the entire menu with recipes after it is done!

I had a lady at our local health food store tell me that if I ate right for my bloodtype then I should never eat chicken. She told me that I was a genius with a "great mind". I laughed. She didnt. She told me the chicken was holding me back. So be it, I said. I eat chicken daily and now it is a running joke in our family that the chicken is holding me back!

Fresh whipped cream (or a whole canister of reddi whip is fine too) You wont be disappointed. And you will need a little somethin sweet after all that fried. With a thank"full" heart.

And you mentioned butter, but maybe you could just fry some sticks of butter and pass those around instead of rolls.<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna have to think about that recipe thing.

Your tastebuds are gifted...just like mine! I keep a "grease pot" (as my self-righteous yet always hungry friends like to call it) on my stove so I'm always prepared to REALLY cook stuff. How does food get flavor if you don't fry it? Duh. And I know a secret: You can put bacon, cheese, and sourcream on a cardboard box and people will eat it up at a potluck then beg you for the recipe! Maybe even more so if you fry it first. <BR/>I'm not sure if I can share a recipe you don't likely have already. <BR/>Perhaps if you want to give-in to the AG with veggies, you could just chop up some potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, zucchini, mushrooms (various fresh veg), toss with a little milk/egg, dump on some well seasoned flour, toss around, deep fry, then salt them. Yummy with blue cheese dressing. <BR/>Oh, and have you ever just layed a slice of sharp cheddar in a pan and fried it to a crisp. Oh mama! And if you lay it over the end of a cup to harden, it becomes an edible bowl for dips and such. That might be a nice Thanksgiving fancy.<BR/>~Another gal named MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-10526713410495828962008-11-13T06:22:00.000-06:002008-11-13T06:22:00.000-06:00Did you ever try sweet potato pone?

Then you can do that sweet crunchy topping (NO marshmallows, thank you very much)with more brown sugar, butter, and a little flour...it's almost like a dessert, but we count it as a vegie at my house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-90924786923806125902008-11-13T05:11:00.000-06:002008-11-13T05:11:00.000-06:00My fav is my Mom's candied sweet potatoes.

She fries slices of sweet potatoes in butter then pours tons of Mrs. Butterworths syrup over the top of them and lets them simmer until they are all candied and yummy.

They are the most to-die-for (and if you use regular ground beef instead of lean you probably can die from them!) S&S meatballs in the whole world.<BR/><BR/>But it's not chicken.<BR/><BR/>And it's not fried. (Not even browned first! They're cooked right in their own fat!!!! Delightful!)<BR/><BR/>I will email the recipe to you, but ONLY if you promise NOT to share it up! I only give this recipe to my very favorite people, and those who live far away so will never bring them to the same potluck as me, and make them even tastier than I do, because that would just suck! And fancy that. You meet both criteria!<BR/><BR/>Happy "hosting"!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916264953926347992noreply@blogger.com
