Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for January 30, 2023

You go Amanda. My kind of cook.

The exhaust fan has quit and wonted be replaced for a while. So, the window next to the stove is now the vent. Lots of fun when it is -30 outside.

that’s why air freshners are on the monthly budget at home

You need a deep frying station in your mudroom.

If it weren’t for my high cholesterol, I’d deep fry everything, too…especially my morning oatmeal!

Twinkies. Oreos. Batter-dipped chicken strips.

My husband just said you’re correct on every single point.

A nice hot mustard will dull your olfactory senses. Otherwise, perhaps an Air Fryer in the garage?

Did you get an air fryer after this? Our kid swears by theirs.

When my mom got tired of her Sunbeam deep fryer from the ‘50s we got it. We made french fries, corn fritters, donuts… It used a lot of oil though. The one thing I liked about working in a McDonald’s was access to the fry vats. We made onion rings and other stuff when it was slow.

An air fryer will crisp those dumplings leaving them tasty and your heart will thank you! XOXO

I misread panel 1 to read I made ice cream cheese won-tons.

Don’t do it Mandy, it’s like crack.

Yes!

You sure you’re not from Texas?

it’s hard to decide whether the smell of febreze or the lingering stench of deep-fried twinkies is worse…
