Sorry, those are not french fried potatoes, those are fried potato sticks.

Talk about opinion... I don't think so. Nathan's Famous *Coney Island* serves
more french fried potatoes in any 24 hour period than any food joint anywhere
serves all month, and Nathan's are cooked but once... all totally prepared on
premises, from raw unpared spuds to finished fries... no pre-fried, no frozen
crap, and definitely no skinny fast food sticks that have no potato flavor
whatsoever, all yoose twste is grease... Nathan's are zoftig *potatoey* steamy
HOT krinkle kuts... never bit into a *hot* fast fast food fry yet... Nathan's
fries are steamy hot all the way through, actually gotta blow on em and take
little test nibbles lest you burn your gut.... served directly from teh deep
fryer, no keep warm lamps And fast food fries are pre-salted, that's what
makes them limp and hold the grease... hardly anyone salts Nathan's fries,
most don't even use ketchup, Nathan's fries are just plain good as is.

This, of course, raises the issue of skimpy lingerie, and who it is
actually for. One of the great puzzlements of human history. Some
believe it was on Aristotle's mind when he said of Plato's
metaphysics, "What is it that works with respect to the forms?"

received an electric frypan on Mother's Day.

Actually, one set of my grandparents used to do exactly
that. She'd give him earrings and he'd give her a power
drill, they'd ooo and ahhh over the gifts and then they'd
switch. I thought it was very practical and they certainly
ended up with exactly what they wanted.

It sounds like a good plan. I like to go out with my wife and pick out
something for me to buy. It ruins the surprise, but at least I get something
that I like and need/want. It's no great thrill to get a surprise gift of
something for which you have no need. I am going to have to pay the bills
anyway. So I might as well get something I want.

What i find works best is crisco vegetable shortening... it melts when you
use it and re hardens when it cools, which makes it easier to clean out..you
can change it whenever you notice that your food has an old grease taste.
Also depending what you are frying in it will depend on how long the oil
will last.
Hope this helps..

If she needed it than she should go out and buy
it. To me, buying house wares (esp of the ordinary
sort such as a fryer) is just a cop out or lazy.
Now... if I were that sports athlete, I'd love a

I thought the same thing. Apparently some people think that gifts should only
be luxury items like jewelry. That seems a bit shallow to me. Sometimes a
practical gift is more appreciated in the long run.
