Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ok.. Now I know why I read these posts every day . I am so sad I can not believe that I let my beautiful little girl eat those damn french fries. Sorry I have 6 kids and can get a little lazy- so for a quick on the run deal, I would get them fries. OH WELL we are so done with McDonalds. I heard the fries had been 'cooked' in animal fat/lard whatever, but that they had cooked it now in veggie oil. ANOTHER little secret and one of the reasons I get upset with fast food places. They will feed you anything to get your money in their pockets. To me a fry is a piece of potato - and just reading what else is in there makes me want to VOMIT ! I will be posting THAT to my webpages (facebook/myspace) because that is just to nasty for me not to share !

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 We make (baked) fries with sweet potatoes and butternut squash (dipped in bar-b-que sauce). put a little olive oil on the pan; sprinkle with herbs, sea salt, whatever; bake at around 375, turn after around ten minutes. --- On Wed, 4/8/09, keepuspurring <keepuspurring wrote: keepuspurring <keepuspurring WOW- I'm Grossed Out (re:mcdonalds) Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 6:44 AM Ok..

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yummy oven fries! I'll have to try the butternut squash (my son loves them, and it never dawned on me to do this w/them LOL). It was awesome on our trip to Portland, Maine last week - we found a vegan buffet (thanks to happycow.net) in town and they had a $2.99 lunch buffet special for all of April - and my son said " Ooh! Squash! Yum! I need that " and promptly put a heaping pile of it on his plate. The folks behind us were chuckling (as he also did something similar for the green beans they had). If anyone is going Down East (hee), I highly recommend this place - Little Lad's Bakery and Cafe. It is vegan (something on happycow said they used honey in some bakery item, but we didn't come across it). It was awesome, and were always greeted with " Welcome home " and a handshake, even when we were just walking by, they said hello and were very friendly to us, and everyone on the street, really. The owner's daughter and our son became fast friends, she sat with us and they played for a little while before she had to go with her mom somewhere. They were awesome, the food was amazing, and it was nice to know we could just get anything at all we wanted (there was a mention of one of the baked goods having honey in them, so you can probably just ask about what it was). Apparently all the local business people love to go there for lunch - which is awesome (and I guess they are going to be opening another one in Manhattan I think it was fairly soon-ish ). I hope they continue to do well, too. We look forward to going back there again next time we visit Maine.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 No, I oil the pan with olive oil (I have a pan reserved for fries because it looks nasty) and roll the fries in the oil on the pan, then sprinkle with the herbs and salt (or just salt). It really is worth investing in a good sea salt for flavoring. --- On Wed, 4/8/09, Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet wrote: Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet Re: WOW- I'm Grossed Out (re:mcdonalds) " " Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 9:56 PM Robin, did you dip the fries before herb-ing and baking?
