    Deep-fried foods may be tasty, but offer little in the way of nutritional value. You don’t necessarily have to give them up totally to have a healthy diet, though.

    Now you may find this hard to believe but these are “foods” served at State Fairs:

    I’m going to finish Midsomer Murders and off the bed.

    Have a happy ~

    corn fritters.
    Sweetcorn fritters have to be my favourite with red onion and cheese and smoked paprika.
    I love Midsomer Murders.
    The secret to frying food is use non stick pans or just a hint of olive oil spray or even fry on baking paper. Taste just as good.

    I have found some rather interesting sounding fritters, healthy too.

    Probably best served with a Chianti. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    MS, those fritter dishes look delish, but prob more cooking that I’m ready for. My hol next week has fried stuff as trad food as in potato latkes (pancakes) and sufganiyot (fried doughnuts), not for me.
    Dorry wants a mousee fritter instead of his usual nomz. Not anytime soon, boy!
    PG, I also prefurr younger men … but not for same reasons as that big kit! ๐Ÿ˜‰
    That State Fair food! Ahhhh! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
    Srsly pouring out, but thankfully seems not to have frozen over. Phew!
    Now I’d best get moving lest I fritter away the day!

    Good morning everyone! I think I’ll take some of those fritters MS, WOW, they look seriously good! I use non stick all the time with a drop or two of olive oil, yummmm, for whatever you are sauteing!! I love veges big time, which reminds me that I have some little mini sweet peppers in the crisper I need to have them for lunch.
    Well the fog has burned off now, the granddaughters had a delay because of it this morning. They stopped here on their way to school, and were mad that they didn’t get to stay with me! LOL, they are envious of Avery, but they both got to stay with me before they started school so…..they can’t wait for Xmas vacation where they will be sleeping in, playing with Avery and we will make Xmas treats, play games, experiment with makeup, paint nails, give pedicures….girly fun!!
    Well, best get to my daily chores…later!

    Good morning from a rainy day here in the mountains of North Jersey. I had lobster fritters once, yum! And state fair foods, well you can’t get much more junk food than that. It’s oh so good though! Between the funnel cake and the pierogies, and – oh shoot – Comet just saw the mousee fritters!

    Couldn’t possibly let this Special Day go by without featuring my very own province’s Poutine!

    “Poutine is a Canadian dish, originating in the province of Quebec, made with french fries and cheese curds topped with a light brown gravy-like sauce.” (Wikipedia)
    Nope, never tried them as not kosher. But even if there were a veggie/kosher version (and there probably is,) pas pour moi LOL (not for me!)

    JK, I still think that is the best commercial!
    News is out about the mousee fritters, PG. I expect there will be no peace till they arrive thru the wormhole for the TDK kitties. Comet, who’s nest happens to be at the entrance to the wormhole, is watching intently – between naps, of course – and promises to report back to Leela and Mac.
    KJ, cheese and gravy fries is one of my favorite comfort foods!

    Well JJ, should you ever visit la belle province I will be more than happy to provide you with addresses and a map of the many places where you can find poutines. Purrhaps with ratings and reviews included. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Dorry was saving his appetite for mousee fritters, but I guess that after about 6 minutes he gave in and ate his usual nomz. Purrhaps he’d like some as dessert.

    I will certainly take you up on that, KJ, and will also remember to order poutines should I see them on a menu.
    3 big black boy cats outside staring at their paws while the little black female eats crunchies out of a big dish. She is getting quite assertive! I’m guessing she was the runt of the litter, and am understanding how she survived. The rain has let up but the dense fog remains.

    So I picked up granddaughters from the bus, with Avery in tow, and took them all grocery shopping with me. It’s fun really, and the older girls are so much help and Avery jibbers at people as they walk by. So it had rained earlier, and the sun was shining when we went in, and good grief when it was time to go to the car it was POURING SOME KIND OF SLOP!! Sloppy drops half frozen, of course I didn’t wear a hoodie so when I got into the car and shook out my hair, I looked like a wet cat. The older girls were laughing at my hair, and then Avery chimed in too, not to be left out of the fun. It is surely cold now, and the wood stove feels quite wonderful.
    KJ, I have never heard of fries, with curds and gravy! I like curds and fries and gravy, just never heard of them together! Probably because I live in the Midwest. Here it’s fries, with chili on top. Just give me plain fries–extra crispy please… ๐Ÿ˜›
    JJ, love hearing about your cat menagerie…and the little black cat that ‘could’!
    PG, has it warmed up at your house yet? Do your cats stay in your backyard when they go outside? Or do you have to worry about the streets where you live?

    JK, meant to ask in the post above about the orange collar for escaped convict cats–is this a new thing we can do for our cats to let people know they are on the loose?

    Hi all. Finally made it to the Cafe after a morning shopping. Yes I know I was supposed to have my legs up but Mum needed to shop and I do now have my feet up and watching Gunsmoke.
    Love the cheetos kitty pic.
    KJ, there is absolutely the minimum cooking to fritters. Once you have your ingredients mixed then it’s a few minutes frying either side and time to eat. Make as much or little as you require.
    LOL at Dorry and the mouse fritters, Shadz wouldn’t mind a stack of them either with melted cheese.
    KZ, fun with the girls doing neat stuff at Christmas takes me back to when I was wide eyed and young too.
    JJ, lobster fritters ! ! Heaven. Ugh rain with cold weather, seldom pleasant unless you are in front of a deliciously hot fire.
    LOL, did Comet squeeeeeeeeee when he saw the mouse fritters? ๐Ÿ˜†
    JK, that is an interesting idea about the orange collars. Reminds me off the yellow ribbon on a dog leash to signify the dog needs space and not to pet it. Love the sound of some of those fritters in your link.
    Very sad to see the ‘breaking news’ on the situation in San Bernadino, I hope it can be brought to an end very soon. San Bernadino used to be a sister city with my city, not sure when that stopped.
    Had a lovely evening last night helping daughter bottle pear cider, a little time on the shelf and it will be Christmas hard cider. It smelled wonderful. On the way to drop me home we grabbed KFC for dinner, I haven’t had any for a few years but got the wrap and stayed away from the tempting fries etc.
    Our day started out grey and cool but has morphed into a hot cloudless day. HRH came in for some lunch and then trundled out and slunk under a shrub for some shade.

    You go little black grrl kitty!!!
    PG forewarned is forearmed re mousee fritters. Plus from unpleasant experiences realize that one can find EVERYTHING on information superhighway! In my last “that place” I Googled “women’s leather fashion” to learn how to best style a leather jacket. What I discovered had me and colleague ROTFL, suffice it to say they were not “approved for that place” sites so quickly clicked out. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    KZ your hair incident reminds me of the time many years ago when my late step-grandmother drove through the car wash, forgetting to close her window. She had just been to hairdresser. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ You can imagine the rest. At least you’re no worse for incident and nice and warm now.
    Gotta get my dinner set up. Not mousee fritters.
