SonShine Eats - Taco Bowl

Now that I've been on my own for a while I've started getting more creative in the kitchen. I had a couple of big successes recently and people asking me about them, so I thought I'd start keeping track of what I've done and then post about them. I get some of my best ideas from blogs and Pinterest, so here's hoping someone else gets a little inspiration from me :)

Starting off with my taco bowl. I love crispy taco bowls, but they can be pretty expensive to buy at restaurants. And I love me some tacos in almost any form.

I started looking up ideas and saw suggestions for deep fryers and realized that my little mini deep fryer was perfect for making a taco bowl! I have enjoyed many of my Bella appliances (and no, I'm getting nothing from them for saying that :) - I love french fries, so I picked up this mini deep fryer on sale, and it's the perfect size for me. It's also the perfect size for turning medium tortillas into taco bowls!

Sometimes the shell sticks to the basket, but it pops off pretty easily. The tongs I use are bamboo toast tongs and work perfectly for fishing the bowl out if necessary.

Bon appetit!

Something Random for Your Friday

I was totally going to finally have my Polaris post up from our trip *cough*last year*cough* BUT I didn't quite get to finish it. So next week. Promise (see, now I have to do it).

So instead I decided to do something random. Because there isn't ever any of that over here. *sarcastafont engage*

Except I honestly can't think of anything random.

Boring, huh? Aren't you glad you came all the way over here?

oh! I know. Last night we went to the carnival that always comes through on Father's Day weekend. We don't ride the ... rides (that sounded redundant) normally (Naomi was a big fat rebel and actually rode some yesterday). No. We go to a carnival for the FOOD.

My top favorite carnival foods in no particular order:
1. FUNNEL CAKES - no fried dough here people. No, it has to be the funnel cake. The crispy, fried, delectable goody covered with enough powdered sugar to choke you. Nothing better.

2. Chicken Gyros - oh. my. goodness. I love these pita filled wonders with their yummy chicken and their crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes and drippy cucumber sauce. *drool*

3. Ribbon Chips - these are a dying breed. I haven't seen them for like 2 years. The curls, the crisps, the fake cheese sauce that burns your mouth and tastes oh so good!

And that's all I've got. What's your favorite fair or carnival food? *props chin on hands* *waits*
