Well, as promised, I’m still high on fall. I’ve been sipping hot apple ciders all week and cuddling in my blankets, the windows open, at night. Pretty soon, I’m hitting an apple orchard with two of my friends and co-workers, and I’m already dreaming of the apple cider doughnuts and pumpkins I will buy. How [...]

Want Some Fries with That? Jamin Goecker, RTF Staff Writer, talks about boldness on campus One of my jobs as a fast-food worker is to not say what I think. “Can I have the number three with a large fry?” “Are you kidding, ma’am! Here, let me show what would be healthier for you.” Times come when we should share [...]

Thank you friends for indulging me. Its been great fun reading all the answers. I know its very hard to guess the ingredient from the finished dish, so I thought a clue is very much needed.

That was really good.Anyway after making it and while taking th

"I learned about this when I was in Kenya. I've never tasted better fries nor more nutritious fries. Potatoes aren't that common in Kenya but bananas and roots are. They taste as good as any fast food French fries and are healthier. Green bananas are the healthiest because they have all their vitamins where ripe ones lose most of them because they're too ripe. Green banana's do not have a strong b

I was at a party, met a pretty nice guy and agreed to go out with him. A few days later he picked me up, and we went out to dinner and to a movie. Nothing fancy -- total cost for both of us for everything would have been around 50 dollars. It was a fabulous date. He was funny, smart, charming and acted like a real gentleman. That is, until later. He dropped me off back at my place and asked if he

Eva Longoria returned to her old job Tuesday, serving fries and "Frosties" at Wendy's in her hometown in Texas. She was there to promote the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, where Wendy's donate 50 cent pr. sold Frosty.

Eva Longoria is a big TV star these days, but she proved that she's not ashamed of her roots and paid a visit to the Wendy's in Texas where she used to work. Yesterday, she signed autographs and handed out Frosties as a fundraiser for the Dave Thomas Foundation For Adoption as part of Father's Day Frosty Weekend. We would have liked to have seen her slip into a Wendy's uniform and cap, but since

One evening last week we had baked potatoes with grilled steaks for dinner. We had leftover potatoes so I popped them into the refrigerator to think about what to do with them 'later'. Typically an easy answer is to make potato salad with them but in our area of the country it was still freezing cold and the thought of a summery potato salad wasn't appetizing. Also, my husband and oldest daught

Today was a mouth watering survey. I love hamburger and fries. I prefer making my own but when I'm out or too lazy to cook, I do like a fast food burger. The only problem I have is finding a fast food burger joint that has both a burger and fries that I like.My current earnings as of today for taking dNeero social surveys is $10.11 and I have another 0.35 cents pending. The total doesn't include any earnings from today's survey either. Payout is at $20.00. I am halfway there.

"Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes."Louisa May Alcott OVEN-BAKED FRIES...SPUDS-WE-LIKE!!While visiting London in the late 80's & early 90's, we would often stop by at a quaint little potato joint called Spuds-U-Like. Spud is a slang for potato. On a cold winter evening, nothing seemed better than a hot potato, baked to perfection (or so it appeared to our hungry selves), with topping choices galore & creamy to the hilt. We (me & my bunch of friends) would stare at the potato in awe...never had we seen such a HUGE spud & we were spoilt by the choice of toppings. The eating joint has been long gone, but the spudtasty feeling remains! Such was the magic of the humble potato...&

Current market data for February 22, 2008 shows a better environment for restaurants with menus dominated by burgers and fries. Using a pub sized portion for the burger (8 ounces) and the french fries (8 ounces), these operators have picked up 3 cents since last year. The price of soybean shortening has doubled. This unfavorable trend is offset by stable prices for frozen potatoes and ketchup and a decline in the ground beef price.Market Data from Foodservice.com (www.foodservice.com) - An Online Community for Foodservice Operators was used in creating the chart.Operators looking for greener grass in the other vegetable oil markets won't find much relief. Canola oil and corn oil are both way up since February 2007. I'm using Wenzel Menu Maker's oil-to-fries ratio of 8 pounds oil per 100 po

Fries Snacks are popular streed food among people in Indonesia. Usually, in the afternoon, there is minimal one seller in one street sell these fries snacks.

But often fries can not feel Crunchy and Crispy, very quickly thus

Representative Walter B. Jones of North Carolina, a conservative Republican who supported the Iraq War and co-sponsored the resolution that expunged French fries from the House cafeteria menu and renamed them "freedom fries", might seem an unlikely foe of President George W. Bush. But then Jones saw the reality of the war he had helped unleash. A steady stream of dead and wounded soldiers from his district began to trickle back from the Iraqi battle front as the insurgency grew and the White House seemed at a loss to either explain or put an end to the worsening situation. Jones also became concerned about the increasingly bellicose rhetoric coming out of the White House regarding Iran, language that seemed to suggest that another and far worse war was about to begin. At that point, Jones decided to work with other like-minded congressional leaders to impede the president's ability to go to war without any meaningful political process. The first place Congressman Jones looked to

In a new low McDonald’s has started advertising to kids directly from their report cards in Florida. The advertisement appears on report cards envelopes for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The envelopes are used to transport report cards to and from home throughout the school year. Get good grades and get a happy meal? I’m disgusted, absolutely disgusted. Not only are they bribing kids to get good grades, but bribing them with McDonald’s. McDonald’s? Because bribing them with pizza for reading books isn’t enough junk food I guess. Because learning for the sake of learning couldn’t be enough. Instead we have to tell kids that it’s a pain to have to learn important things so here’s a greasy burger to sweeten the deal. I’m not saying kids shouldn’t have treats now and then, I’m one who thinks the cupcake ban was a step too far. But I personally HATE McDonald’s and the whole “fast food” indust

Jessica Simpson After her split with singer John Mayer, Jessica feels miserable and to make herself happy, she eats french fries. Acoording to source: “Jessica jokes about wanting a boyfriend, but it isn’t funny. It hurts her to see her exes moving forward. “She keeps getting crushes on the kind of guys who will let her down. That triggers her cravings. She usually gives in to them at bedtime. When she is at a hotel, she will often order a plate of French fries as a late-night snack. She knows it isn’t healthy, but she doesn’t have a lot of willpower right now.” Jessica has gained weight and she wants to get back her figure and asking help from her close friend Mike Alexander. One source said this to National Enquirer magazine: “Jessica recently binged on buffalo wings and cupcakes and gained some weight. She feels horrible. She is determined to work those pounds off - and she wants Mike to help her do it. He literally got her butt into shape f

There are also standards for canned ripe olives, tomato grades A & C, honey, and pumpkins and squash, among others.

Who loves New York Fries? Or let me rephrase that...who doesn't love New York Fries? Anyways, during our time in Korea we never thought we would encounter a New York Fries location--that is until we stumbled across one at Gangnam Station (Line 2, Green Line).Sometimes you see something you're used to, but then you get this weird feeling that something is not right. That was the feeling at this "New York Fries" location as you'll soon see. We stopped by this little joint underground for a quick bite before departing home with our friends JP and Tae. Let's take a look at what JP and Tae ordered!Now this is what I'm talking about for those who love poutine as much as I do. Fries topped with cheese curds then smothered in hot gravy to melt the cheese. It sure had been a while since I had this. The best poutine though is at the Costco locations back home--an instant heart attack baby!Here are the remnants of JP's order, "The Works" which had sour cream, bacon bits, chives, and cheddar

There are many Hong Kong style snacks along the streets in crowd areas like Causeway Bay and Mongkok. I just recommend this "cake shop" - Danish Bakery. People always queue up not because of its bread and/or cake, but they are looking for the famous hotdogs, french fries and chicken wings. You can located Danish Bakery at the corner of Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay. Transport: Bus Route 10 from Central

I’m still on the Pittsburgh trip. I really do enjoy going there, and not just for food, but Pittsburgh has some of the best food around, especially considering the size of the city. How many cities have a doneness of steak named after them? I’ve heard of NY Strip, but that’s just a cut of meat. Pittsburgh rare has a specific meaning to doneness… Anyone know what it is? Pittsburgh Rare is also the appropriate name of a steakhouse in the city, and a very good one, from what I’m told. From the title of this entry, you can probably guess that my second favorite fries are found in Pittsburgh, and you’d guess right. What are my favorite? The Paris Las Vegas Casino & Hotel, which I’ve probably talked about before, has a great restaurant called Mon Ami Gabi, which is also found in the Chicago area and Bethesda, MD. They have great steaks, and all are served with frites (French for fries, I guess). The steaks are good (I had the Roquefort

The Duck Pond 2005 Oregon Pinot Noir is made from grapes grown in the Willamette Valley, with 91% from the south Salem Hills and 9% from the Red Hills. The soil in these vineyards are primarily "Jory" soil, a week volcanic ash and rock type that promotes a low-yielding crop, giving the wine special characteristics.It shows a clear ruby/purple color in the glass. The nose offers soft fruit and berries with red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and obvious smokey tobacco aromas.In your mouth it continues on the more elegant fruit notes with red cherry, raspberry, and here the tobacco and especially the smoke stands out and lingers, way past the fruit is gone, on the palate. It is definitely of the more elegant style with lighter red fruit and berries. I wish this medium bodied wine was a little bit more complex on fruit/berries, which are on the thin side, to stand up better to the smokey aspect of it.Find this wine at Wine-Searcher.com from $17.49.Vote for my blog here and help me stay in

OK, you can’t make that much! The Granby(Quebec, Canada) owner of the Duhamel rotisseries decided to recycle his cooking oil. So, instead of paying for his 350 liters/week of cooking oil to be taken care off, he now use it for fuel. For 7 months now, his 2 delivery cars and his personal car run on bio-diesel. He took one year to find the good vegetable fuel that was supposed to warm up the house but found the economy was greater with his car. He found a recipe online but had to adapt it for his needs. The recipe consist of 20% of wood alcohol (methanol) to used canola oil. Because it’s very cold in the winter, he must add 20% of diesel. Mr. Duhamel do the transformation himself in his small storage house. It takes 1h30 to make the recipe and 8 hours to ferment. This fuel must be used in diesel cars. That why he bought 2 Smart for deliveries and a Jetta for him. In 3 years if it goes well, all of his 12 delivery cars will run on it. It cost about $130 in regular fuel pe

I just had lunch at Burger Heaven Burger Heaven where the salad was average and so was the service. Nothing about the place seems memorable except their Sweet Potato Fries. I know, I know. I didn't even try a burger, but I had read some unimpressive reviews about their burgers and I wasn't in the mood to regret my lunch. Things like a bad burger, pizza, or french fries will bother me all day!!As we walked towards our seats, I spotted their sweet potato fries. What caught me eye was that they were thin cut fries, not the steak fries size you usually see for sweet potato fries. I had to try it! While it wasn't mind blowing, they were really good, something I'd like to eat again. Why haven't other places caught on? Cut the sweet potato into thinner slices!! Otherwise they get soggy and gross. They also had a light coating kinda like Burger King fries, again helping with maintaining the crispiness. Go Sweet Potato Fries!

Momo, at 11 months, has started on a diet that will astound a lot of childcare ‘experts’. Just last weekend, he had ‘murtabak’ and french fries. For breakfast. And boy does he love it! Waving his hands excitedly, making a lot of ‘ummm’ sounds, impatiently staring at us to feed him another piece of french fries. Of course, french fries aren’t his staple diet. We’re not that nuts! He does eat healthy food like porridge and rusks and he’s still dependent on milk. Speaking of milk, we’ve just switched his beverage of choice from yucky stage 2 Mamil Gold/Similac to …. Nespray! He’s now drinking the same type of milk as his brother, Booboo. Well, for now, at least. Pretty soon, we’ll be switching Booboo’s milk to the age 3+ and older Nespray. Not that he minds the milk he’s drinking now, but for the benefit of his nutrition, for his growth, blah, blah, blah, we’ll change it.

By the time I was in the 7th standard, I along with a few neighbourhood kids had perfected the art of making a good potato chip. Known in this country as the French Fry or in the fly over states as Freedom Fries (sad, isn't it?). In India young boys are always discouraged from carrying experiments in the kitchen. As a children of parents who were busy and away from home most of the day, my friends and I found the kitchens at our disposal during the afternoons. We would have potato chip parties between games of 'galli' cricket. It involved everyone stealing 2 potatoes from home and maybe some oil. Stealing oil from the oil dispenser on the kitchen counter was a rookie mistake that would get caught. Only the seasoned potato chipper knew to steal directly from the 15 litre Postman dabba as a few missing cups wouldn't be detected. The loot would then be gathered at one of the kitchens where peeling and cutting began. As a measure to increase the number of chips per potato, we would cut

When our family takes vacations we typically drive, as the cost of flying and renting a car is cost prohibitive. Because we rarely rent a car, the last time my husband and I went to Florida on our own without the children we rented a car and when they asked if we wanted rental insurance we just stood there and looked at each other. We didn't know. We had never thought about it before! When it

The secret to crisp and crunchy fries is in the heat. This recipe is for pan fries, which are tasty and better for you than deep-friedSteps:1. Chop potatoes into wedges.2. Boil in salted water for about 10-12 minutes.3. Drain water from the potatoes.4. Place on a shallow baking tray with lots of olive oil (don't use extra virgin, it will smoke) and toss them around in the oil until completely coated. Canola oil also works.5. Put it in the oven at 425-450ºF.6. Periodically toss them around as they bake, scoop and flip with the implement of your choice.The minute they are almost done, jack the temperature up to 500 degrees--seriously--and cook for just a few more minutes. Watch carefully! This gives them extra crispiness--so good! A trick from a famous San Fran chef.7. If you are deep frying, you will NOT be able to get the oil hot enough in most consumer kitchens to produce a truly crispy fry, so don't even bother deep frying at home. So take your fries—even frozen ones—and put t

Maybe we've confused the French with the French media. The election of pro-America Nicolas Sarkozy to the presidency of France shows that the French people don't hate us as much as our media would like us to believe. Yep, it's time to start ordering "French" fries again (not that I ever called 'em "Freedom" fries). The election of Nicolas Sarkozy to the presidency of France has been a serious blow to those who claim that America has earned the undying hatred of Europeans. Oh, to be sure, the French media hates us, but there are a lot of people who say ours does too. Regardless, Sarkozy’s victory has sent shock waves through the world’s media centers. A French president who openly admires America is an embarrassment to those who view us as the country bumpkin cousins of the sophisticated Europeans. American pundits and politicians who say we should change our foreign policies to win the European popularity contest ought to be feeling a little embarr

If you like Nascar, raise your hand. Now take that hand in the air and use it to slap your head. Haha, sorry, I kid, but I personally can’t stand watching a bunch of cars drive around in a circle. However, that was before I found out that every time Matt Kenseth wins a race, you can get some free Arby’s curly fries! Basically, if he wins, you can either: Bring in a coupon they’ll put online on their site that day only. Bring in official race results from a sports website or newspaper. Suddenly I’m a Matt Kenseth fan and now I hope his car goes around that circle the fastest! [via the forums]Technorati Tags: free, Arby’s, curly fries, nascar, matt kenseth

Dave Horwitz & co. are very funny. I was just talking about them yesterday. Pretty recent, huh? Check this clip (not of me talking about Dave, but of Dave and other people saying things): They’re in LA. Some of them.

This caught my attention becuase I saw "Super Size Me" on television not long ago. I have not been able to go back to McDonald's since. Of course it is not to difficult since we don't have one here in Rosthern and I have not been to the city in a couple of weeks. This guy does a pretty good job of painting with ketchup and french fries I think. i know I could not do it. I could not even draw it with a pencil.Tags: painting, mcdonalds, youtube, video, videorambler

Hmmm ... leftover lotus root from my last recipe. I'm feeling a little burned out from the regular stews and stir-fries so I thought I'd go the "East meets West" route this time around. What better way to accomplish this than a fusion with the all - time American favorite deep-fried snack - French Fries. I don't get why they call them french fries. But then again, I don't get why they call hamburgers hamburgers anyway. Well if you do, enlighten me.Anyway, moving along from the confusion to the fusion, I've decided to whip up some lotus root fries with my leftover lotus root. Whether or not you are a fan of french fries, you really should give this fusion lotus root fries recipe a whirl. Not only does it have less calories, lotus root is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber.Another way in cooking lotus root (aka "Renkon" in Japanese) is raw in salads. A simple toss with mirin wine, sesame oil and soy sauce, and you got yourself a healthy, delicious lotus root salad, a delectable del

Apparently there was some sort of game last night and in it a couple of sports teams played for some sort of award.  This of course is secondary to the commercials which have taken prominence in recent years.  In this cleaned-up, no boobies version of the Super Bowl, there was still room for some controversy and people complaining about it. We know that baseball has ceased to be the national pastime and many thought football would replace it, but now it looks as if NASCAR would be the new victor. Unfortunately these both fall a distant second to the true national pastime - being stupid.  This is evidenced in no more perfect way that the drama surrounding a commercial for Nationwide Insurance starring everyone’s favorite ex-hubby Kevin Federline (K-Fed to my peeps - what what!) If you haven’t seen this marvelous piece of advertising cinema - check it out. The commercial is supposed to be making fun of K-Fizzie and the fact that his baby mama, Bimbo Brit-ney, sent him back

Flat screens didn't wait for the World Cup to defeat old cathodic tubes, but the clear winner of the competition could be the Giant Screen.TV operators now enjoy new channels and propose an extreme customer experience : as the main public media, TV follows the event down to the streets and stadia and while couch potatoes remain stuck on their sofas, masses now stand up in public places like French Fries in cornets. The phenomenon even overshadowed such traditional semi-private diffusion sites as restaurants and bars.Giant screens really became mainstream during the 2002 World Cup in Korea, when millions would hit the streets to follow the great campaign of the Taeguk Warriors. Back in 1998, public events would just gather a few thousands souls (ie in front of Paris' city hall). For the 2006 edition, which took place over 1,000 kms away, Parisians would flock by tens of thousands in the Parc des Princes, Jean-Bouin and Charlety stadia. Simultaneously. In a city where organizers tradit
