worth a giggle


I think it's about time we had our own fries.
The French fries have dominated long enough.
Yes?

    Yes. But I prefer chips to fries. The hot ones. Very rarely have them, but ...

    EC; I don't like hot chips as much as I did when I was little. The vegetable oils they fry in are just not as tasty as the animal fats they used to fry in. I still make my own now and again, but it's kind of a once a year thing now.

    Windsmoke; potato crisps are still out there, just lost in amongst all the fancy new flavours, which are a little over-the-top if you ask me.

    peskypixies; agreed!!!

    Yeh love a sense of humour. How come you can't get proper chips any more? And what are you doing eating chips? naughty naughty

    Where do you find them? Worth it just for the packaging.

    Cold fries in a bag?? It sounds... gross. Then again, so does Vegemite. :)

    Are they just potato chips that LOOK like fries? Or are they cold fries, all soggy in the bag for real?

    Baino; I haven't eaten them, just bought them to post the picture.

    Elisabeth; supermarkets, in the crisps aisle.

    Delores; yummy and salty, crunchy too.

    Happy Elf; these are a fry shaped version of potato chips. Crunchy, salty, yummy. Certainly not real fries all cold and soggy. ERK!

    Andrew; oi oi.

    River weren't they Smith's Chips in the 'old' days. How things have changed. Because of that there is no longer a place in my cupboard for them.
    Thanks for the memories.

    Cheryl; Smith's Chips are still available, but now they're Smith's Crisps and come in many new flavours as well as the original.

Sunday Selections # 726

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
