I want a proper pity party -

[hedgehog]

here it is Lent, all the churches are sponsoring Friday night fish fries, and I'm off fried foods temporarily for health reasons! Who gives up fried fish on Fridays for Lent!!!!

[KMOD]

1. Oh no, I do feel for ya.

Fish fry is my favorite guilty pleasure.

Hang in there!!!

[sharp_stick]

2. So you're good

Your lent is fried fish.

Now go in there with a really good pulled pork sandwich and a six pack.

3. I'm off all fat! :(

4. You have my sympathy.

The good news is: Two days after having my gallbladder removed I felt fine.

[hedgehog]

5. That's what I'm looking forward to!

6. I remember how good that Chinese food tasted.

I also remember that I was burping/tasting beer the next day after having only one.

9. Good excuse to go straight for

the whiskey or rum.

7. My local Friday fish fry offers baked fish - in my opinion, it's even better! Ask them!

[hedgehog]

10. Nope - there's nothing to take the place of crsipy (greasy) fried fish.

Nice try, though!

[HappyMe]

8. That is lousy.

I like a good fish fry.

Sorry you can't have any.

11. Ask them to bake yours.

12. We had fish today

But we have fish a lot due to my cholesterol problems, and no fried stuff for me either.

My wife made an ocean whitefish (hake or mackerel or something) in an olive oil-onion-and-mustard sauce that was so good, I kept heaping it on the kohlrabi that was on the side after the fish was gone.

She comes from a Catholic background (family goes back over 500 years, not her fault), but I come from a non-religious background, so that doesn't figure into our meal plans at all.

13. I gave up lent for lent.

I eat whatever I want!
