Last night I had to do the Airport Run to pick up Mother Renault and bring her back to her place. As such, dinner was a bun in the car — couple of slices of Pepper Roast Beef from Denninger’s.
I was still hungry when we got back, so I had Mom scrounge through the freezer for something. She found a hadful of fries and One (1) kroket, which was thrown in the deep-frier. Fries and kroket come out really well when they’re deep-fried together, I’ve discovered.
(For those wondering what the hell I’m talking about, kroket is a Dutch thing, not quite fast food, but definitely junk food. Sort of a roll of beef/pork pate with larger bits of beef in it, breaded, and deep-fried beyond recognition. It’s tastier than I’ve made it sound here, and it serves a quick-snack purpose very well.)
(Kroket is also further proof that all the best Dutch food is Indonesian.)

this is one of those moments where a photo might serve your purposes well. or a link…. i’d really like to know what you’re talking about, cause all I have in mind right now is shannen doherty and winona ryder with a couple mallets and some brightly colored balls.
Like any one of these:

Jeez, Louise…
so they kind of look like fish sticks. or chicken croquettes. or an automat. Cleared that right up, you did. Dank u de vriendelijke Heer.
I live to serve.
You made your Mum cook for you after her flight? You meanie.
Oh, it was no big deal. She’s absolutely restless when she gets back — starts right in on the laundry and stuff. Getting the deep-frier going was actually pretty tame…
