French Fries

I got into a bit of a, disagreement, about french fries with my family. We were talking about fry sauce and which fries are the best. My favorite place in the world for fries at the moment is Freddy's. They have skinny fries and fry sauce. Since my family has some bottles of fry sauce, we were discussing the best fries, especially for consuming fry sauce.

Obviously the best fries are skinny fries. With skinny fries you get more crispy fries, and then your fry sauce to fry ratio is better. When you coat the entire fry, you're getting more sauce for the potato inside.

Look at all those blocks not getting any fry sauce on them with the larger cube (fry). Math my friends. Math is on my side. Skinny fries are the best.  

My favorite fries are fries, or even fries and shoestring fries had a baby from this picture. 
My very wrong family thinks the best fries for fry sauce are steak fries. No! There's so much potato just sitting there with nothing on it. No crisp, no nothing. Just blah. If I wanted to just eat potato I could get a baked one. 

I also hate crinkle cut fries as well. No matter where they come from, they remind me of frozen fries just warmed up, and also have too much potato. I noticed in Chicago they had crinkle cut fries everywhere instead of normal fries, and I was very sad. 

Waffle fries are legit, especially from Chick fil A. 

The only time steak fries are okay is at Red Robin with their ranch. 

Just some thoughts to go with your fries.

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
