Gadgets! You’ve found one of my weaknesses!

I just picked up a new-in-the-box deep fryer at Goodwill 2 days ago. I have more other gadgets than you can shake a stick at. But, I do actually use them, and most were bought on sale, so there :P

I have a bad shoulder, so some cooking gadgets are necessary.

We originally bought a simple deep-fry pot for making the deep dried vegetables we get at the Fair; it’s one of those great things you can make exactly the same at home (we use mushroom, zucchini, cauliflower and onion rings):

Make a dipping sauce to go with them.

We also use the fryer to make timbales, to stuff with fillings for parties. You can usually find these rosette-timbale irons at the thrift store:

Thrift stores are an addiction :-)
