Hooray for Fry Sauce!

Look what I got in the mail yesterday!

My brother Mike, home from Iraq for a few short weeks, remembered me and sent me 2 bottles of Some Dude's Fry Sauce, which is available only in Utah, (and possibly a few surrounding areas).

So, in case you haven't spent much time in Utah and you are asking "What the heck is fry sauce?", here is the answer straight from the back of the bottle:

"Well folks, fry sauce is a condiment that's made for french fries.

Legend has it that SOME DUDE from Utah mixed up a batch of this here sauce and the folks 'round there went crazy for it.

THEY started puttin' it on everything from french fries, of course, to hamburgers, chicken, fish and hot dogs.

Some use it as a veggie and chip dip, some have even been known to use it as shampoo (not recommended).

This DUDE noticed that in order to get this condiment of choice eve'body had to go to the hamburger stands.

'well, that's too darn inconvenient!' said the DUDE. So he threw some of that there fry sauce into a squeezy bottle and the rest is history."

When you are in Utah you can get fry sauce at any fast food restaurant, and many dine-in restaurants as well.

Here, where I live in Virginia, the only way to get fry sauce is to have someone send it to you.

Thanks, Mike.

It is fabulous.

Frog Legs

I recently posted a picture of a boy holding a frog and talked about how FROG stands for Forever Remember Our God.

I received 2 comments that are noteworthy. So in case you haven't bothered to go back and read every comment from every post, I thought I would repeat what the statements were.

The first was from my brother in law Drew (sometimes known as Tom), husband of my sister Lillie. He said that FROG also means Fully Rely On God. A good addition to the original post.

The second was from my sister Lydia. This was her reply:

DEEP FRIED FROG LEGS

Med. frog legs (dressed)

1 c. flour

1 tbsp. lemon pepper

1 tsp. salt1 tsp. black pepper

2 eggs (beaten)

Cracker crumbs (fine)

Vegetable oil for frying

Wash frog legs in cold water, drain. Put flour, lemon pepper, salt and black pepper in a bag and shake to mix. Shake frog legs in the seasoned flour to coat, dip in beaten egg and roll in cracker crumbs. Deep fry at 365 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Both comments were very thoughtful. I appreciate those that leave comments. It makes

reading this blog more fun for both readers and poster (me).
