ham on the street

i just want to give some props to this food network show, b/c it's hilarious! earlier this weekend i caught a bit where the host dude was making people guess what type of meat their hot dogs were made out of (if they guessed wrong, they had to do a shot of the hot dog water--gross!) and tongiht he's focusing on guilty pleasures and deep frying a variety of food items. i mean, you have your more traditional deep-friend oreos, but this guy deep fried cheesecake, a hot dog in a bun, some macaroni and cheese . . . and then convinced a dinerful of patrons to taste-test (unsurprisingly, things are awesome when deep-fried).

he also hung out in a mall eating a tube of cookie dough, and now he's making tiramisu out of a twinkie--my kind of show. :)

note that more food/baking posts will be appearing eventually--my sibs got me some AWESOME cookbooks for my birthday!--once the school stress lessens a bit.

This sounds like the most awesome show ever.

My life will not be complete until I eat a deep-fried cheesecake.

hey i have had deep-fried cheesecake. they sometimes have it at mexican restaurants. it's basically a chimichanga, but with cheesecake inside.

needless to say, it's really good. sometimes it comes with ice cream, too.
