On Saturday we went to Retro on Roscoe. It was pretty much the same as every other summertime street fair except that there were a few old cars and the bands played older music.

  1. Yeah. You can get all sorts of fried things-that-maybe-shouldn’t-be-fried at Chip Shop. Mars bars, Twinkies, Hostess fruit pies, etc. Delicious.

  2. their site is really annoying. i love fried foods, now i want to go home and throw random things in our frier to see if they’re good.

  3. we always talked about having a fry party because jeannett’e mom has a frier. so she was going to borrow it and we’d each bring over something to fry. i wanted to fry a banana (and drizzle it with chocolate and have it in a bowl with ice cream) and i remember yvan wanting to fry a pickle. in the end we couldnt get over the batter hump.. we thought that it would take too long to figure out the batter. .. i think it has to be *just right* to work.

  4. Most things we fry are store bought, out of the freezer. We have made homemade chicken strips from a recipe and they turned out ok.

  5. Rachelle-

    Hey there! I check your site from time to time…it’s great. I live vicariously through your adventures since we really don’t go anywhere that doesn’t have a playland.

    Anyway, I have a recipe for fried pickle slices if you want it. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks damn good. Let me know if you want it.

  6. hey, trish- it’s always interesting to see people checkin in from my past lives and to learn that they’re still keepin track of my whereabouts! awesome. yeh, pass on that recipe.. either email it or post it here for everyone. that would be muy cool.

    and it’s funny to see the “lange” and hear you talk about playgrounds bc of course i knew you pre-marriage and pre-babies when we were just peon interns trying to make buck.
