Okay you're forever in my heart nelson! lol Is peanut oil necessary? I have a restaurant with vegetable oil in our fryers. I'm def. going to try these this weekend!

@mepm231 lol..sooo true

I don't know if it's my tastebuds or if they changed the recipes..but I wish they would make Funyuns and Strawberry shortcake ice cream bars the way they used to. Funyuns used to be less salty and those bars used to have more tart ice cream and more crunchies on the outside. I don't know if they're still around..but Homeboy chips were awesome.

I'm 19 and the crap they used to give us was nearly inedible. I lived in a very ghetto, urban city in Connecticut (yea that sounds weird). I remember this one time when we got letters from the district saying that the trucks that brought that crap were infested with mice. yuck. And our lunch ladies were MEAN. If we got to loud, they would bang a bunch of plastic trays on the table to quiet us down. Haha then they would make us clean up and scrub the tables..even though it was their job to do it.

14 out of 20. word.

yummm hot fries. I always wondered is the guy on the hot fries package the same guy in the Home Depot store? Can someone please tell me this? lol

I do recall reading a book called, "Liver Cookies" where these kids put liver pate in their cookie batter and they became a big hit..but I've never actually made them even though they included recipes for them.

lol..that story is so funny!..Umm my boyfriend is notoriously late for everything, so one Valentines Day, I began slicing bananas and cutting them into little, lopsided hearts.

oh my goodness, I LOVE these (Cambodians make the same thing). I used to eat them cold. But the best way I like them is when you slice them and pan fry them.

On my face, mixed with crushed aspirin...it makes a great facial and leaves your skin flawless.

When I lived in Connecticut (Bridgeport, New Haven) ...all the corner stores and Krauzers (previously WaWas..man I loved going there as a kid) had ketchup chips.

When you are Southeast Asian, your elders will tell you certain things about food so that you can eat the undesirable parts and they can be left with the best parts of food. For example; "If you eat the eyeball of a fish, you'll be able to see very well" or "If you eat the tail of a fish, you can swim fast!" or my personal fave "If you eat burned rice, your penis will grow!" hahaa I would ask if it pertained to me, b/c I'm a girl...but I "still should eat it" LOL I know some people who still haven't realized that elders were trying to trick them!

Crabapples..when someone in my family discovers a tree and shamelessly steals them off other peoples property. I eat them plain or dipped in this sour/spicy dip they make..it's probably just a Southeast Asian-American thing though...
