1 lb. bag of Frozen French Fries
1 Cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
6 pieces of Bacon, cooked
24 Fl. Oz. Peanut Oil

Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermostat, make sure
the oil is hot enough, so that when you set a french fry in there it
will cook immediately. If the french fry sinks to the bottom, and
barely bubbles, it is not hot enough. Fry the potatoes in small
batches, they are done when they are golden brown, and float to the
top of the skillet. Be sure to drain the potatoes on paper towels. You can keep them warm in the oven while the other fries are done.

When all french fries are done cooking, and drained place them onto
a platter. Salt the french fries if you like, and sprinkle on cheese
and cooked bacon. Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese
begins to melt.

1/2 C. Sour Cream
1 Tbsp. Prepared Horseraddish

It's bottom of the box, last of the package time. You know what I'm talking about - all those odds-and-ends in the pasta department. Not enough for much of everything unless you cook them all together. So that is what I did.

And it's also a non-meat day in our home.

So the pasta is cooked, drained and combined with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and an nice assortment of diced Italian cheeses; sliced pepperoncini and marinated artichoke hearts. A nice cold dish to serve with fish fingers. Just fingers of haddock, breaded and oven baked.

I made homemade bread yesterday and save some dough for a deep dish pizza for later tonight. Topped with crushed tomatoes, lightly seasoned, and a mixture of assorted cheeses. Did I say deep dish pizza? THICK pizza dough with good topping. mmmmm

Can't complain about that. ]]> Kitchen Witch http://www.recipesecrets.net/forums/whats-dinner/34081-mac-n-cheese-dunno.html http://www.recipesecrets.net/forums/recipe-exchange/34080-chocolate-mint-snow-top-drops.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:53:08 GMT Chocolate Mint Snow Top Drops 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 (10 ounce package) 1 1/2 cups mint...
