My love for my air fryer is still going strong. It is a rare day that I do not use this thing to reheat, broil, roast or air fry something. I know (I think, anyways) that I have mentioned on Ye Olde Blogge that I am not a lover of the french fried potato most days. If we are out to eat and you see me ordering a side of fries or a plate of poutine please keep your digits away from my face because clearly I am hungry enough to bite your hands off. That is the only time that fries have any appeal for me now that I am done with PMS forever. Well, that was BTF (Before Truffle Fries)…
On Valentine’s Day of this year, my WOYPBC co-host and I decided to try a new restaurant for lunch (Galentine’s Lunch, we unoriginally called it). So after a very brisk and windy walk along the shore, we headed to the newly opened Fern and Cedar Brewing Company in Qualicum Beach, to fill our bellies.
You know what? I can’t even remember what I ordered. But what I do remember is that Donna ordered truffle fries, and when they came to the table I was immediately taken in by the glorious aroma of her dish. And it didn’t take much coaxing from my table mate for me to try a few of her fries.
Cue the choir of angels. Wow. What have I been missing all of these years?!?!
Even though I had had this complete food revelation mid-February, I kinda forgot about the truffle fries (I know, I can’t believe it either) until a few weeks after I got the air fryer. At that point I googled “air fryer truffle fries” and came up with this recipe. It seemed simple enough except I didn’t have any truffle oil. After coming up empty-handed at the local grocery stores, I ordered some from Amazon as one does these days. The first time I made the fries I was less than wowed. So I re-read the recipe and saw that, as an option, one could add truffle salt to the finished fries. Back to Amazon I went. And that, my friends, made all the difference in the world…my world, anyways!
Life ATF (After Truffle Fries)…sigh… I will never be the same again. 😉
Please let my co-host Donna or myself know what’s on your plate at your house, in the Comments section of either of our WOYPBC posts (or both, if you are so inclined!). Please check out Donna’s April post, here.
OK, I am going to try the InLinkz thingy again too…for those of you who want to join the Link Party Donna set up. Fingers crossed it works…
Rock on,
The WB
