Deep Fried Goodness

Last night I used my deep fryer again. I made Chinese New Year cake again, then fried chicken drumsticks. Wow, the drumsticks were amazing. They turned out better than I expected. Who knew that only dipping in flour and breadcrumbs is all you need to get the skin to look that way? Yeah, it's unhealthy, but my gym attendance made me feel less guilty. This is the reason why I can never successfully diet. I like food too much. I hate going to the gym too, but not as much as I hate giving up food. The gym is the lesser of the two evils. Yes, being healthy is evil.

Speaking of food, I went to Chinatown last Thursday for a Chinese New Year luncheon with co-workers. One of them ordered all the food off the Chinese food menu, and the whole feast was so good. I decided I needed to learn Chinese. But not like I learned in college. I just want to learn enough Chinese to order from a menu. Yup, it's all about food with me. Thinking with my stomach, that's me. I found a website online http://www.inu.org/meiwah/ and I also requested a book at the library. I'll write more when my learning actually gets underway.
