Awhile back, I picked up a Euro Pro deep fryer<\/a> from Linen ‘N Things for either $10 or $20 after rebate. I never got a chance to use it till today. When I first wanted to use it, I noticed it said not to use olive oil, which was the only type of oil I had around. They said corn oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil , canola oil, etc were all fine. So later, I picked up a giant jug of canola oil from Costco, since that appeared to be the healthiest of the bunch. Speaking of which, did you know that canola<\/a> stood for: “Can<\/strong>adian o<\/strong>il, l<\/strong>ow a<\/strong>cid”? I had always thought canola was a plant! Also, wouldn’t the world oil be redundant here, sort of like ATM machine (automated teller machine machine).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I had the giant jug of oil and it just sat around as I was too lazy now to test out the deep fryer.<\/p>\n

I was talking to Xyon today about how even if we had a bread maker, we’d be too lazy to use it. I then said that’s probably why I haven’t used my deep fryer ever since I got it a couple months back. He commented and said aren’t deep fryers meant for lazy folks. That got me thinking… how do I clean it up? Is it messy? It turns out that I can leave the oil in there for years and reuse it. If it starts turning brown or black, I should change the oil, but given that I won’t probably be using it that much, it might even last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I got hungry tonight and decided to give it a try:<\/p>\n

I have to say, these deep fried fries are 100x better than anything that can come out of the oven, microwave, or even pan fried! Mmmmmmm. Now I just need to find more things to deep fry!<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, I guess now would be a good time to put in a word about a new photo service my friend Derek and Tekman have started: photosleeve<\/strong><\/a>. If you look at my sidebar, you’ll notice I have a new link: PhotoSleeve<\/a> which has all my digital photos from 2002 to 2008. There are problems with my 2001 digital photos which I’m fixing before I upload them. It’s still being beta tested, but you can sign up on their homepage<\/a> or if you send me a message, I can probably speed up your application. \ud83d\ude09 Maybe I’ll delve more into their features when I get a chance to write a dedicated post for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
