WHAT MAKES ME AN "INFORMED" FOOD BLOGGER

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .

However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .

I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .

My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family of Blogs

I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

Good chef meets GOOD DOCTOR meets good writer=Informative food blog, no?

HOMEMADE POTATO FRENCH FRIES/FREEDOM FRIES

HOMEMADE POTATO FRENCH FRIES/FREEDOM FRIES
I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
Simply put,these are deep fried potato sticks.
Why they are called "french fries" or why they MUST be called "FREEDOM FRIES",is not my business to dwell upon right now.Let us not waste time and just get down to discussing the fries in the picture.
IF you fry your potatoes in VEGETABLE oil, these potato fries would qualify as VEGAN COMFORT FOOD.
Why is yucky oil dripping food "comforting"?
SIGH...I guess, ENERGY RICH FOODS allow the body to feel secure in some ways.Both oil and potato starch are ready sources of ENERGY.So the eyes are sending signals to the brain of the fact that the body is getting some great energy sources..LOL.
We all like texture too.So,crunchy fries just out of the frier with their CRUNCH FACTOR do the trick perhaps in terms of ENTICING THE SENSES?
Over these past ten years however, MY IDEA OF COMFORT FOOD has changed .These days I find a large bowl of fresh crunchy veggies even more comforting than fries.I AM BEING VERY VERY HONEST WHEN I SAY THIS.
BTW,I make my fries at home.WHY?The restaurant/fast food joints serve fries which taste like salty cardboard, that is why!!
Most restaurants seems to have stocks of FROZEN ,PARTIALLY PRECOOKED FRIES which are then RE-FRIED to order.Needless to say,doing this "cooking,freezing,then RE-frying" leaves them with no REAL nutrition at all.NO real taste either,except for the taste of fat and salt.Definitely NOT freshly made EITHER..Which is why they are now called FAST food?
I LOVE THE TASTE OF POTATOES more than the salt and oil.HENCE this attempt to make fries at home.So that I CAN TASTE the actual potatoes in the fries instead of hot oil and salt.
I also love my potato fries to be SOGGY...yes,I LIKE SOGGY FRIES.Another reason to try making them at home, just how i like it..soggy and freshly made
POSTNOTE: Recipes not included due to plagiarism concerns.I device and design my own recipes all the time and I am saving up all recipes for a FUTURE VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK.
