Lookie What I Did!

I made potato chips!

Well, they are really sweet potato chips, but still. Homemade. Yes, I am insane.

Homemade (sweet) potato chips

It took a bit to get the time correct on cooking them. But even the overdone ones are good because they taste like roasted marshmallows. Yum.

My First Time Deep Frying

Like my apron? The other full apron I have is an El Paso one, so I thought it was close enough to Christmas to use this one.

I think next time I'd want to cut them a bit thinner, but since I cut them in the food processor and that was the thinnest cut, I'm probably not going to be doing anymore for a while. But now that I've actually deep fried something (first time, ever), Dan's all excited. He's already making mental lists of all the things he wants me to fry, including fish, potstickers, and breaded pork meatballs (not sure where the last one came from other than I'm defrosting some ground beef and pork for chili).

Anyway, if this keeps up, Dan's going to get me a Fry Daddy or something. He got really excited when I mentioned it. Who knew my hubby was such a fan of fried things?


(I would also like to add that this is my fifth post in four days. Geez, what's up with that?)
