When the Feast is a Beast

I like to share food triumphs with you.  Was it tasty?  Share it.  Was it budget-friendly?  Share it.  Was it a cinch to make?  Share it.  I'm a bit more reluctant to share those meals that aren't as successful.... until today.

After our Feast from the East this weekend, Jason and I wanted to fry up some more stuff.  Two reasons:
A) our house already smelled like gross oil
B) we had a TON of leftover wontons ($2 gets you over 80!)

So we came up with a brilliant idea to fry up some little sweet treats.  Here's what we chose:
~raspberry jalapeno jelly (a Davenport fave) and colby jack cheese
~nutella and bananas
~apples (diced and cooked) and cinnamon

Here's what happened...

~Jelly in a fryer = not good.  I sealed the wontons, but the jelly found a way to creep out and get ALL UP in the oil!  Which meant when we were eating them, we were basically eating just fried wontons that had a hint of flavor.
~Nutella and banana = really gross to look at.  Plus, they also liquefied and exploded into the oil.
~Apples = way yummy when Jason was cooking them on the stove.  Jason's an excellent cook, but that's largely because he isn't stingy with salt, sugar, or butter.  Once fried though, the apples were just ok.  I would have preferred to just spoon the apple mixture over some vanilla ice cream instead.  Oh man!  Why didn't we do that instead?



These things weren't inedible.  We just didn't really want to eat them after we cooked all of them.  Oh well, some meals are huge successes, some are beasts!
