Chicken Fried Steak
I didn't eat this, but I'll review it based on my boyfriends raves about it. I made the recipe as written, the only thing that I changed was using black pepper instead of white (all I had) and adding garlic powder to the gravy while cooking. The steak was so easy to fry. I coated it and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour before cooking. The coating stayed on perfectly, it really looked amazing. I'm usually a disaster when it comes to frying anything, so this was a huge deal. The gravy was easy to make as well. "This is REALLY good chicken fried steak. I had no idea you could cook like this!" End quote. I will make this again and again. Thanks Judy!!

Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries
Ohh, these sounded SO good but they just didn't work out well when I made them. I was prepared for a lot of work and a huge mess, but being a fry-worshipper I really didn't care. I followed the recipe (and the suggestions) and just ended up with a gloppy-battery mess. The batter wouldn't stay on the fries and made that whole dipping fiasco pretty pointless. They only stayed crispy if I cooked them until they were nearly burnt. I like my fries 'well done' but no one else was impressed. I'm tempted to try again but I'll probably just get a bag of Texas Crispers and call it a loss.

Southern-Style Pork Chops
I made this for my boyfriend last night. He called them the 'best pork chops, EVER'. The only changes that I made were that I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream (it was all I had) and I didn't add salt. I fried then simmered the chops on the longer side of what the recipe suggested, as they were bone-in and very thick. They were crispy looking (I don't eat pork) and the sauce reduced nicely. They smelled amazing while they were cooking. I will be making these again and again. Thanks Tina C.!
