Can You Fry That?

Mmmm....Fried Food
Mark and I decided to go out to eat last night. And since I am on my health kick I decided to have a salad. This restaurant has great salads. So I choose a healthy sounding salad - but when the waiter comes I blurt out "I'll have the Fried Green Tomato Salad". Yes, I ate a salad with Fried Green tomatoes on top of it. But half way through I felt guilty and picked all of the Fried Green tomatoes off of it. So I ate the equivalent of 1 Fried Green Tomato and a salad. Better than nothing I guess.

This restaurant also has a Fabulous White Sangria. I reasoned that I could have a glass of Sangria because Sangria has fruit in it. Fruit is healthy. So, Sangria must be good for me. I can apply this reasoning to many foods. Thus the reason I am squishy.

Who Cares it's Fried!
My Fried Green Tomato Salad lead to an interesting conversation at dinner last night. What is it about frying foods that make them taste better? I HATE seafood. But I will eat fried fish(with about a gallon of tartar sauce). And if it is fried and on a stick - watch out. People will eat anything fried and on a stick. Some examples of fried food on a stick being offered at this years fair: Candy Bars, Twinkies, Pickles, and Cheesecake. And people were eating them like there was no tomorrow. I tried the fried pickles - they are good.

Flying Monkeys
After dinner we decided to take a walk around town. We got about one block down when the mosquito's attacked us. I am not talking about your average buzzing mosquito's. these things were blood sucking mini vampires. They were the size of the Flying Monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. They could have carried us away while draining us of all of our blood. So we hurried back to the truck(surely the hurrying part burned a few extra calories) and went home and sat our squishy selves on the couch and watched TV safely away from the Flying Monkey Sized Mosquito's.
