New Recipes for Good Eating cover
First, all of them have slightly maniacal grins, especially Mom. Mom has a vacant, Stepford wife look about her. Then, look closer…
How many donuts do they plan on making? There’s a HUGE platter of sugared donuts already finished. 6 more on the cooling rack. Another batch currently being fried in Crisco, and who knows how much batter is still in the bowl. There are at least a 24 donuts already made (and most of them are Chernobyl-sized donuts to boot). I guess childhood obesity is timeless.
Continuing our survey of Crisco-fried delights, we have a few beautiful examples of deep-fried goodness.
“Fried Devil Dogs”
What’s better than a hot dog? A breaded and deep fried hotdog! It’s a egg washed, bread crumb dipped, spiced hot dog, then deep fried. Well, maybe the next recipes will be a bit healthier.
“Mashed Potato Doughnuts”
Homer Simpson died and went to heaven. Mashed potatoes aren’t typically the healthiest dish, the best ones have butter, cream and/or other fats. So let’s deep fry balls of mashed potatoes in Crisco! OK, so now we have our meat group, our vegetable group (kind of), so how about a fruit dish…
“Fried Peach Halves”
Roll peach halves in cereal flakes and pan fry in Crisco. “Serve as an accompaniment to meat”. I am not the best eater, and definitely love meat. I also enjoy eating Southern food when I’m there. Ditto for Germany and their extremely hearty breakfasts. But when I’m home, I can eat lighter occasionally. I don’t think I can handle my fruit being fried, it sounds like being stuck in a state fair with fried-everything. Only you can’t leave.
