Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

So who is going to tell what this thing you Californians call a fritter is? We have various foods with the name fritter attached, but nothing that looks like that

Also has a glaze on it...they are very good...I can't believe you don't have them there. I may have to get a couple and overnight them to you. They're great with coffee too. Now I want one......

The only Fritter I ever had was like a cornbread muffin type of thing with maple syrup.and they were really good.

They came with dinner at a place called El Encanto on Hwy 39 at the base of Azusa Canyon in Azusa Ca. Some of you may remember it since it had been there forever. I used to take dates there because it had a great view.(smooth operator )

But they tore it down. I don't know why. It was a nice place.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

The yellow/green/white camper is probably a Prowler?

The park model with the tip-out is probably a Kenskill. We had one on the lot where I worked in HS. It was a trade in and I used to demonstrate how it opened up. It seemed to work pretty good but sure took a bit of muscle.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

We have apple fritters and other types of fritters such as corn fritters and others I'm not thinking of right now, but usually vegetable like zucchini, also potato. We have different kinds of apple fritters. The most popular kind you get as a side, same as corn fritters, that are bite size. They are the apple or corn filling with a batter encasing them, usually with powdered sugar on them.

How about kinklings? Do other parts of the country have those? In Frederick, MD "The Donut Shop", which has a few shops around town, puts a banner across their signs that says "The Kinkling Shop". They are a German sweet treat made and eaten to bring in Lent

You guys are killing me. I’m trying to shed my covid pounds before hunting season, and those are NOT on my approved list.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Maybe you're wish to lose weight will come true "after" hunting season when you come home empty handed (Not wishing on that!)

A group of 5 I shot of this neat old Chapel along Mill Run not far from where it meets with the Youghiogheny River just up the road a bit from Friendsville, MD. That's some unique home made siding, and I thought that grave marker was cool. Looks like a chess piece

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

When I looked for pictures of apple fritters where those showed up they were being called Southern Apple Fritters. They are an apple pie filling inside. A thing I love along with a good chipped steak & cheese sub or hand patty cheeseburger are Corn Fritters. They look the same until you bite in on one. Just a bunch of corn kernels inside, maybe more like cream style corn. I looked those up and there are other variations, such as patties. My mom made than that way in a skillet, sometimes mixed with other stuff.

I'm starting to realize something. I like food!

I got this beauty for scrap not all that long ago. Owner said his wife wrecked it when it was about 10 years old and it sat behind a barn ever since. Pristine barn find.

That crash must have been an EE ticket ride! I'm amazed anyone lived.
They didn't try to buff it out?
