If you have a few grapevines growing in your backyard and if you have tasted the fruits of your labor, then maybe the time has come for you to stock .....
Here's a little known factoid - did you know that KFC changed its image by retiring the slogan Kentucky FRIED Chicken. Instead, they became known as serving up Kitchen Fresh Chicken. Long are the days of Wesson Oil commercials that proudly encouraged yummy fried chicken for dinner. When was the last time you saw a splatter screen? How about a Fry Daddy? It must be a pretty big sin to eat fried foods these days. Or is it?

Look at the menu at Long John Silvers; nothing but
fried foods. Look at any menu for that matter, deep
fried beer battered shrimp, fried clams, french fries,
fried potatoes, fried eggs. Outback restaurant has the
Blooming Onion, that puppy is soaked in oil. Fried
Fried Fried.

So perhaps no one is trying to say that fried foods are
good for you, but nations sure are indulging in the
grease laden foods, especially Americans. Perhaps this
isnt a good time to bring up the Obesity statistics.
But heres the kicker, "It tastes so good!" Granted,
some fried foods are just too greasy, but a majority of
them just taste delicious. Thats why loads of
indulgers treat themselves to a so many artery-closing
delicacies!

First there were the french fries, now there are deep
fried dill pickles and deep fried Oreos? How did THAT
leap happen? Dont forget deep fried ice cream and
deep fried peaches. Of course what menu isnt complete
without the deep fried mushrooms, deep friend cheese
sticks, and deep friend cauliflower? Perhaps if you
deep fry vegetables, its a little healthier? Is that
how it works? Or if you deep fry already fattening
nibbles, such as ice cream and Oreos, then it doesnt
really matter because youre already cheating?

As I sit here one the deck with my daily morning cup of coffee, I realize' just a .....
Nevertheless it continues. Theres deep fried
strawberries, Snickers, potato salad, zucchini, tofu,
cheesecake, rice balls, bananas, corn, shrimp, and even
deep fried turkey. Product flyers claim the winged
bird is "so much juicier when cooked in a deep fryer!"
So we got rid of the little table top Fry Daddy and
went for the floor model turkey fryer. Umm, ok.

Then theres the big decision about what kind of oil to
use? Olive, peanut, vegetable, canola, lard, butter,
margarine or Valvoline 10-40? Certainly dont forget
to check out your saturated fats against your
polyunsaturated fats versus the monounsaturated fats.

Maybe you should say fats. Did we ever decide if fried
was a bad word? Perchance the better word is Sauted.
Indeed. Sauted Oreos - much healthier!
