Yeah, the light and golden crispy exterior belied the molten hot sticky lava on the inside.
You know, for kids!

Right?

Just I'd never think to use vegetable oil, it always seems greasier and smells worse when you're cooking. Plus all the recipe books call for olive oil and I'm a stickler for protocol.

Can I fry with Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

I don't have time to read that, but I wouldn't fry with the Extra Virgin gear. Regular old olive oil will do.

Extra Virgin is for salads and that malarkey, I'd have thought.

Well being a scientist you have to stick to the SOP.

I'd be more afraid of what's in a Crispy Pancake than the olive oil I was lightly frying it in

And I love Crispy Pancakes

There's a River Cottage recipe for crispy pancakes, it's pretty good and obviously you'd have more control over what crap goes into it.

My system is to do the recipe once as it is described in the book and then I can alter it once I get a feel for it.

I think it is the level of heat which destroys allot of the nutrition in food if you were to boil squeezed orange juice all the vitamin c would be destroyed completely because it cant survive beyond a certain temperature same if you toast a slice of bread it will lose allot of its value or even just turn into ash if you keep toasting it Olive oil is probably very good for you though

The poker game I played tonight might just be one of the best things I've ever done in terms of doing something well.

First visit to the national history museum. Amazing. I go to try on helmets that let me experience the world through the eyes of a hammer head shark, a giraffe, a chameleon. Then I got hungry and cranky and had to be taken home.
