If there is one thing I would have never thought to fry it would have to be green beans. And since I live in Texas and we love to fry just about everything that's saying something. Since I first had these delicious sticks of fried goodness, I can't pass a TGI Fridays without drooling. Of course, for the sake of trying to be a healthier person, I usually keep on driving. Even though they are a vegetable, the health benefits drop to nil when dipped in batter and dropped in oil to be fried. However, today I was out shopping for my mother's gift for mother's day (its an espresso machine by the way) and right next to the store was a Fridays. Since it was lunch time and I was hungry...I pulled right in and ordered a batch of green bean fries.
It had been awhile since I indulged and they were oh so delicious! I don't know what it is about that that I love so much but every time I bite into those crisp beans, I love them all the more. If only they weren't fried I would probably eat them more often! I would love to be able to make these at home. Maybe baked instead of fried. Now all I need to do is find a fool proof recipe that tastes good! ha! Good luck with that Heather!
So what do you absolutely love to eat that's out of the ordinary?

Things you don't know why you love but you do anyway

2 Treats for Charlie:
Hot Tamales (the candy) with Almonds. It's the perfect combo, even though it sounds weird. I also like to have chocolate milk with Mexican food... but that's not too weird, just need something besides water to wash away the spice and I don't like plain milk! :) The beans look yummy and remind me of something Paula Deen would make!
Anne,
I've never had Hot Tamales with Almonds. Sounds VERY interesting! I'm with you on plain milk. I can't stand to drink it plain, it has to have something in it or be used in something.
They definitely seem like a Paula Deen recipe! I wonder if she inspired the dish for them! lol
