After gathering some helpful tips, I decided to use Aunt Jemina's (Ain't Yo Mama's) buttermilk pancake mix from the pantry, some regular oreos, canola oil and a cast iron skillet.
I put the oreos into the freezer until I was ready to use them, and went ahead with the mix (mix + water = super simple). While I was waiting for dinner to be prepared, cooked, then eaten, I was thinking what else could I fry?
I found some strawberries in the refrigerator, and thought "why the hell not?"...
DELICIOUS...
Once we consumed those tasty, sweet little appetizers, I began opening the pantry and refrigerator looking for the next fried victim... pickles...yum; even thought about frying some cheddar goldfish just to see what it would taste like, but I (and my parents) were quite possibly saved by the "timer"...
Finally we were done with dinner (grilled pork chops - dad; corn on the cob and peas - mom; simple yummy summer meal for three)! I plopped the oreos in the batter and into the hot oil (350 degrees F) they went. Flipped once, placed on a paper towel, and into a bowl with some Graeter's vanilla ice cream...
OH MY GOODNESS...I had to get more oreos out of the pantry...we all wanted more. Super simple, and super yummy!
As I was beginning to clean, Katana (my 6-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback), was looking for her handout. I thought "fried milk bone"...really? Hell yes, I fried a milk bone...
She loved it - BIG surprise...everyone's taste buds were pleased with the fried victims this evening...
HAPPY THURSDAY!
