I bought a simple home deep fat fryer and broke it in last night with frozen un-spiced and un-breaded scallops (extra large because I can't find any smaller ones). Eh.....it was alright using what I had on hand, but it wasn't all that special. It's a good little cooker, easy to use and easy to clean up.
What is the best oil to use? I had two choices, Wesson and EVO. What's better? I love butter, but I'm told it isn't good for this: too smoky and doesn' taste as good.
I breaded the scallops with egg and Italian style bread crumbs. I couldn't even taste the crumbs, but it works well on some dishes. I have plenty of general purpose flour and a bunch of different spices. Any suggestions?
BTW, I'm also looking for some GOOD tartar sauce. All of the bottled stuff that Ihave found tastes like left overs from a kid's Gilbert chemistry set.
And I'm also looking for any recipes with different foods: other fish, meats, veggies, whatever.
Thanks.

Women started this when they insisted on being allowed to play on men's teams. Be careful what you ask for and don't bitch about when it turns around and bites you/
BTW, in my house every day is women's day! My mother, wife, daughter and daughter-in-law have all earned that...and I know a lot of other ladies who have, too.

Canadian Tire is a LARGE country wide store that does most types of vehicle repairs and service, sells everything from tires and tube to oils and greases, all types of tools, food stuff, paint and paining supplies lighting products, clothing, garden supplies, toys, kitchen cooking equipment, utensils, electrical and plumbing supplies, snowblowers, shovels.
Just about everything you can think of, tailored to the area they are serving.
In US American, I think what we call a kettle, you call a teapot.
What we call a teapot is a non electric pot with a lid and spout in which we put tea then pour hot water into, over the tea.
My daughter got me a heating pot. It will bring four cups of water to a boil in about 90 seconds.
Great for tea, consomme, instant soups, some instant lunches, etc. I haven't tried it with milk yet (for Ovaltine) but I can heat that on a pan or nuke it.
For coffee I use an electric percolator or Mr. Coffee.

You know, the C-47 wasn't any slouch, either. I have know a baker's dozen Goony Bird "jockies" who survived crashes of their planes.
One recently died at 103 years of age. He knew Patton and flew Pathfinders behind Normandy Beach the night before D-Day, and survived a couple of crashes.
He also flew a C-47 back and was told he couldn't fly that plane again because it had over 300 bullet holes in it and seven or eight chunks missing from AA fire.

........ I'd much rather have a Pepsi, ....... please. 🙃
I never did like Pepsi.
I was a Coca Cola addict for years. It wasn't uncommon for me to drink a six pack a day...or more.
On the fourth day of our honeymoon we stopped at a motel in Pennsylvania in a downpour. I walked to a gas station two blocks away in the middle of the night for a couple of bottles of Coke. My brand new wife asked me why I would go out in that storm for Coke. I told her I couldn't keep going without sugar and caffeine.
She never failed to remind me at some of the most awkward moments.
It's still one of two favorites. (Sarsaparilla is tied for first place.)

My wife and I married in 1965, 60 years ago next July, but she died nine years ago. She would be almost 79 now.
This song strikes a chord in my heart and rates equally with Neil Diamond's The Story Of My Life as my favorite songs.
I've always enjoyed Dolly and respected her way of life and her values. I've never sent a message to any celebrity before and she will not likely read this one, but Dolly, you've been a part of our lives since I first saw you way back when. My prayers have gone up for you and all your friends, family, and fans, prayers for peace and eventual acceptance.
God willing, there will never be another Dolly Parton.

The last firing squad execution was in 2010 details below:
https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/resources/high-school/about-the-death-penalty/methods-of-execution
We moved back to Mom"s home town (Logan, UT) in 1951. I remember a few executions by firing squad over the next 59 years. Not many, maybe three or four. I also remember people protesting against it and being horrified by the "barbarian" method.
I also remember Dad telling someone that "Dead is dead! It is a way more humane way than his victims died and I don't think this cull suffered nearly enough." Then he turned around and winked at me and it was never again discussed in our house.
It seems I recall a hanging, too, but I'm not sure where it was. Seems the execution was delayed because no one was found who was qualified to hang anyone. Finally one was found (in Belgium?) and came to do it. I'm not sure about any of this because I was quite young and my remeberer thingy doesn't work very well.....if at all.....any more.

I have always thought a guillotine was a perfect execution device. Inexpensive, portable, low maintenance, no special training to operate, and 100% effective.....and they could have the inmates in the prison wood shop make them and sell them to other prisons.

I left Pekin, Illinois in August. 1972 and took my wife, kids, and the dog. I joined the Marines to get out of Illinois and have never crossed the borders since, not even to get from one coast to the other.
No reason to go back.....ever!
Wouldn't it be great if every cop, and I mean EVERY cop, in Illinois quit and filed a suit against the state because of unhealthy and unsafe working conditions.
The maybe the fire fighters and medical first responders joined them.
Just for good measure the National Guard could join them, too.

These days most folks listen to the radio; ..... but that Coastwatcher probably had a wireless two-way communication device.
We used to make trunk calls but now we "dial direct" and pay extra in the phone bill.
The English speaking world is separated by a common language. 🙃
I believe that was a near verbatim quote from Winston Churchill.

Let them go. Flag their names and don't let them come back.

Back when you can still tell cop cars when you saw one, one of our neighboring towns parked the police car on the side of the main street going into town, with a mannequin behind the wheel wearing a uniform.
Obviously he was not able to pass out speeding tickets, but seeing that cop car up ahead slowed traffic greatly.
And that, apparently, was the point.
Sounds like Brigham City, Utah in the '60s and early '70s. They moved it every day or two so you never knew if it was a real cop or a dummy.
(Don't say it! DO NOT say it!!!)
