Der Brucer wants fish and chips. He showed up at work - well, just a little after work, while I was dinner shopping - with a recipe in hand.
So I'll be making fish and chips tonight.
I did insist on getting a deep-fry thermometer. The business of using a chopstick to determine if the oil for frying is hot enough got old. (So did the chopsticks, but that's another story.)
Now, here's a question for all - why do we pronounce the word thermometer as ther-MOM-eter? Given that it is two words portmanteaued together, shouldn't it be THER-mo-ME-ter? It isn't used to measure a mom, well, not usually. I don't think I'd want to stick anyone's mom in a pot of hot oil.
