Not Even Close

In the Torstar , an article on cooking said not to fret the ingredients in the recipe. The uptake was that it was almost impossible for you at home to match the calories or fat found in restaurant food.

A survey over the past few months provided this list

An Italian place on ' Diners , Drive ins and Dives ' made spagehetti sauce from scratch. Before plating up , the chef adds 1/4 C of of olive oil. The oil makes the sauce cling to the pasta. And we know where the oil clings on us.
M always said the red sauce had less oil or fat than al fredo - not likely

A Mexican taco / burrito joint , ' lightly ' deep fries their tacos to ' soften ' them up. Yikes

A Chinese restaurant making Chicken and Veg over noodles , deep fries the chicken before mixing w/ the stir fried veg and noodles
What is this deep fry mania

Another TV program ' Eat St ' re: food trucks , showed ' the greatest hot dogs ' Yepper , deep fried wieners

The latest , 2 days ago , biscuit and biscuit gravy , had the gravy start w/ 2 C of rendered bacon fat - M comes up w/ " don't they make a big lot , so the fat is spread out ' Yeah , we know where its spread

Weather : twisters in the Midwest , sun w/ rain to come here , all week.but sun is neat Temp is 49 F in the shade
