It's French Fries Friday!!! I totally made that up but, maybe it will be a thing, maybe. French Fries or Chips or Chipo, however you call them, have always been my very best indulgence. My love for French Fries dates back to when I was very young and me and my siblings would always wait at the gate for dad to come home. We always knew that something yummy was coming when we saw his hands with a wrapped package. Back then, French Fries used to be wrapped in old newspapers. So there we were on seeing him, "daddy chololo!, daddy chololo!, daddy chololo!" Don't ask me to translate that second word for you, all I know is that we were saying that "dad is coming home!" And we'd all ran up to him, grab the package that he was carrying and quickly ran to the house to unwrap the goodies. You should have seen our faces when we opened and found that it was meat!?! Apparently even meat was wrapped in newspapers at the butchery.All the hype would immediately end and we would all disperse quietly grumbling about how dad was unfair! Simpler good times, sigh. I'm sure dad would smile wickedly at himself knowing we really didn't run to welcome him home but ran after the goodies he was carrying. As you can see me and French Fries have had a love-love relationship that will transcend time and space and money. Making home made French Fries is simple and does not take up that much time. For my first French Fries recipe I just did the basic method with two ingredients. I will definitely be trying out many other recipes that I will share with you guys. What are your childhood memories with French Fries? Have you made them at home? Holla below!
