Here's my secret oven fry fries tip (and even *gasp* stove top fried fries ;-) ) --toss them in cornstarch after you do the olive oil. Makes 'em crispy. Yours look crispy too. Maybe it's that steam/shake technique.tigalileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474678867513488001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-71706733254764024872014-06-23T12:51:06.555-04:002014-06-23T12:51:06.555-04:00I'm glad you got to celebrate your mama's ...I'm glad you got to celebrate your mama's birthday and enjoy the day with her. Sorry Sunday wasn't quite so great. :-\ Glad you were able to get that workout in this morning. I wish we were morning workout people but we both feel horrible when we do them early. I actually burn 100-200 cals less. Me and my weird bod!

Sunday was a complete bust though. I was so tanked physically and mentally. I was up at 4am because I couldn't sleep so I did some things and then started the day. By 11am I was toast and I fell asleep until 2pm. Never left the house and felt sluggish all day. Had a very simple dinner and then watched tv (did do a load of laundry). Today I worked out first thing this morning, then went grocery shopping. I have a hair appt mid day and then will begin tackling the office (literally). =o) I feel good today with energy and I really think it's because I worked out in the morning--I seem to have more "oomph". dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-89143854600128537812014-06-23T10:32:11.496-04:002014-06-23T10:32:11.496-04:00Luckily you can do these in a grill pan.

I don't blame you for being nervous!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-37290270625022508542014-06-23T10:21:12.366-04:002014-06-23T10:21:12.366-04:00I haven't been doing a lot of potatoes lately,...I haven't been doing a lot of potatoes lately, seems like we go through phases. When we do potatoes it's usually skewers on the grill or wedges on the stovetop. Pretty soon it's going to be too hot to use the oven at all so attempting any kind of baked fries is going to wait a while.<br /><br />This weekend was great fun. Our swamp cooler motor burned out. Twice. The first time it was running, I turned it off, and when I turned it back on smoke started pouring into the house. So hubby got a new motor, fixed it all up and we ran in all day. Turned in off for a bit and then when I turned it on again later I smelled smoke and turned it off right away. The next day we got to replace the motor again, plus he replaced the switch that time. Seems to be working, but I'm a little nervous about turning it on this morning.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26284545488711513912014-06-23T08:58:25.467-04:002014-06-23T08:58:25.467-04:00Those fries should happen.

I packed up the rest of my pantry that I could. Planned my meals until the move so I could get things packed up and used up before I moved. Ran to Ikea, found a power rack (my movers are going to love me), did some other errands, made cupcakes (had frosting left in the freezer). But forgot the cupcakes at home =/<br />ajchaney89https://www.blogger.com/profile/18334675384741812760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-2719475087791559012014-06-23T07:25:04.966-04:002014-06-23T07:25:04.966-04:00It is quite annoying.

I want to LOVE what we put there, not settle for something. But my legs need SOMETHING cushy there because my legs do not like the new hard surface. <br /><br />The fries are awesome, if I do say so myself. If I know I have prep time ahead, I'll do those over quicker potato wedges for sure.

I am not even sure what we want there but I have yet to see it. It's one of those things that you kind of hope will just jump out at you but it sure hasn't yet.<br /><br />As for those fries. People need to make those - they are wonderful!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
