I wish I were baked. Right now, I'm just cold, sober, and at work.
As for the deep fat fryer. SWMBO had a long-standing ban on them, for both of our health's sake. Then, her aunt gave us her old one. We couldn't really say no, she drove the damn thing up from Kansas. And I *did* want one.
We have been trying to "behave" ourselves with it. We *do* fry french fries to go with dinner sometimes, because let's be honest, who doesn't LOVE golden, crispy, fresh fries? And we've been doing some fried clams and shrimp, and the occaisonal mozzerella sticks. But we've been trying to keep it in order somehow.
As far as the deep-fried burger.... I applaud the patty - I fried a number of patties when I worked at DQ. Hot dogs too - there's something damned delicious about golden, crispy, fried hot dogs. But, um. I was talking about the whole F*ing thing. Buns, burger, cheese and all. THAT'S why I haven't perfected it yet.
God, I felt my arteries hardening just reading all the different deep fried foods in this post....
