Everything tastes better deep fried

Monday, November 24th, 2008

With two appli­ances pri­mar­ily to blame, there’s been a lot of great culi­nary explo­ration and exper­i­men­ta­tion going on in my apart­ment of late. Firstly, I recently pur­chased a hand cranked meat grinder and; sec­ondly, Jacob, friend of the apart­ment, hav­ing room­mates who would not allow a deep fryer, bought a deep fryer for our apart­ment. The pri­mary result of the meat grinder has been lots of meat loaf, which is tasty, healthy and end­lessly reheat­able. The results of the deep fryer have, so far, been: buf­falo wings, onion rings and deep fried meat loaf, which are all amaz­ingly deli­cious and ter­ri­bly bad for us.

We’re only at the begin­ning, though, future plans include: duck burg­ers, Fosters beer bat­tered kan­ga­roo nuggets, rat­tlesnake burg­ers, loaves of every meat you can imag­ine and deep fried pretty much everything.

Oh please, Mr. Obama, kill DST

I’ve been irked at President-elect Obama since he voted in favor of FISA but now I hear that he might kill day­light sav­ings time. Now, you may recall that I pas­sion­ately loath day­light sav­ings time and abol­ish­ing it would shift Mr. Obama closer to my good side. Mind you, not screw­ing with my time twice a year does not quite make up for giv­ing away my rights but it is a small step in the right direction.
