Foster Farms Mini Corn Dogs - February 28, 2007

rating: 3 out of 5

price: on sale for $3.50 at fred meyer

on this particular night we learned two things: jesus is magic and mini corn dogs are bad for you. sarah silverman inspired this mini adventure, because when your sister lends you the dvd - you can't just watch her (sarah silverman, not your sister) alone. so a gaggle of fabulous women descended upon 'ego place' for viewing of said comedy with the requirement that everyone brings wine and appetizers. nacho girlfriend 1 asks: "what should i bring?" nacho girlfriend 2 responds: "something mini!!" hence mini corn dogs (they were on sale).

the box directs us to prepare these "honey crunchy" treats three ways: oven, deep fry, or microwave. we opted for the oven method, because lord knows we don't need extra fatty or extra soggy mini corn dogs. all 40-44 dogs piled onto on cookie sheet and 18 minutes later we were in corn dog heaven. in the end they were hit or miss. some of the ladies loved them (shout out to cuzzie karen!), others refused to try them (julia says "no" to chicken). the nacho girlfriends will most likely not eat these again because, the first ingredient, "mechanically separated chicken" is not on our diet - and not to mention each 1" dog is 54 calories and 3 grams of fat (but no trans fat according box!! HOLLA!!).

yay!: they're cheap and are a great vessel for ketchup

boo!: waaaayyyy too high in calories, fat, and disgustingly processed foods.

recommended: they aren't recommended really . . . unless of course you are entertaining trailer trash. or on a budget. or just want to channel some fair food fuzzy feeling from your childhood.

I can't think of any better food to eat while watching Sarah Silverman. Good thinking Nacho Girlfriends!!!!
