– French fries are my weakness. Often my younger brother and I, who have a very high metabolism, make midnight fries at Wendy’s/Carls Junior/Mickey-Ds/ which is open at this unattractive time. I have tried to fight my addiction as an adult by only ordering fries here and there when I eat out, instead of following the “fries with everything” motto that I have supported for 20 years.
– When my siblings and I went for breakfast on iHop, I ordered chicken strips and fries. Pancakes are great, but they don’t beat french fries and ketchup.
– These days, like I said, I’m trying to order fries less often – for obvious health reasons. Often I just share with my husband, he doesn’t hesitate to give some away. Or 60%. He’s great like that.
– And when I crave a variety of fries while I’m sweating at home, I usually make my own fries instead of going to a take-out order.
“One medium fry, please”.
“Yes, that will be all”.
