My oh my! Fried zucchini, fried onion rings, fried potato skins, fried shrimp and yes, we even did fried cheese! I didn’t know if it would work or not, so I only did four pieces of the cheese – I froze the cheese for about 45 minutes so it wouldn’t melt in the fryer.

![P6210010 I did the 51-60 count per pound of shrimp](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p6210010.jpg)
![P6210012 I baked the potatoes for an hour - let them sit or an hour and then took out most of the potato before deep frying](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p6210012.jpg)

While I cooked in batches, I kept a tray lined with paper towels in a 220 degree oven – everything stayed crisp until I was done:

To digest our food it was game time! Sadly the boys won everything!
![P6210024 First we played Cranium - such a fun game!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p6210024.jpg)
Then it was onto:

Turns out no one will play me in Scrabble anymore! If anyone can guess what this drawing is, I’ll send you a dollar!

So the fried food was just the appetizers – well, actually it was lunch. Right now we are lighting the grill for Grilled Lemon Pepper Pork Roast and Grilled Asparagus with a Balsamic Glaze – see you then!
I’m assuming most people knew the answer but they only wanted to give everyone else a chance to get it.
I love how you said you didn’t have the bacon on your potato skins because you were watching your weight!
Ha!
Looks good.
I have no idea what that picture is!
Fried cheese & onion rings? Sounds good to me 😀

Happy Sunday to you too!
SO AWESOME. And yes, fried foods are all calorie free, obviously 🙂 The potato skins look great, I would have eaten all of them..hehe. I love love love playing games like Pictionary and Cramium. Balderdash and Scattergories (spelling?) are two other great games. HAve a good night!
