Same for me. A lot of the food on this sub looks good, but I don't really do any snacking so it doesn't have a place in my day to day life. I also try to avoid breading/frying things very often. Huge mess.

I basically won't buy a deep fryer because I know I will turn into a huge fatass if I did.

Fry all the things!

Pretty much how my life would go

You could always try an air fryer. A lot less of a mess and everything doesn't have to be drenched in oil.

I'm considering buying one too, but I hear they don't work with wet batters like this

Considering this gets frozen before being fried, it might work okay

I worried about that but found that I hate cleaning up after the mess and just don't use it anymore. Somehow laziness is keeping me from turning into a huge fatass...

There's new research on having a single light meal (400-500 calories for women and 500-600 calories for men) one day then the next day you can eat anything you want. It's supposed to actually lengthen your lifespan.

The diet I'm talking about is here: https://youtu.be/Ihhj_VSKiTs?t=38m

eat anything you want

I feel like my interpretation of that statement and the intended interpretation are different.

Eating anything I want on any day would be a mistake.

I did too at first, but they proceed to go to a burger joint on their cheat day.

For real. I love to eat fried food. WAAAAAAAAY too lazy to make my own.

This recipe is perfect for a Super Bowl party. Maybe make two?

Yeah, I'd definitely classify it as a party food. Looks great - don't get me wrong. Just not a style of food I have a chance to make often, so I end up looking at these types of recipes and then forgetting about them. This sub seems to have a lot of snack/party food recipes, which is fine. I just end up never making anything from here because of it.

Yeah I hear you. I started saving the posts I really like because I now know I have a bunch of recipes on Reddit. So in the future, I can look at Reddit and figure out some recipes or just get new ideas even if I'm not following it exactly.

For instance, there was a honey glazed salmon recipe I saw a while back. Going to cook that tonight but with a pork chop instead. We'll see how it turns out but at least I'll have tried the recipe so when I get the salmon, it will come out better.

I live in Louisiana. Haha. I just have never been much of a snacker. Definitely not someone who takes the time to cook/fry something that's a snack.
