The Ultimate Cheater’s Truffle Fries

I have a slight culinary obsession with truffle fries, something I share with my friend Lauren. It’s gotten to the point where we actually text pictures of truffle fries from various restaurants to each other.

To me, they’re the perfect marriage of bourgeois and everyman. Truffle (or, rather, truffle oil) seems to be the perfect excuse for restaurants to upcharge a side that can be found at both the most upscale of steakhouses AND McDonald’s. So, to satisfy my craving without draining my wallet, I conjured up the perfect cheater’s truffle fries:

1 large order of fast food fries (Jack in the Box’s work great)

Barely 3/4 tsp of truffle oil (a little goes a long way)

Grated store-bought parmesan cheese to taste

Mix together, plate, enjoy with ketchup and smug satisfaction at your homemade gourmet side.

I’m a sworn omni/carnivore but that doesn’t mean I don’t whip up the occasional “vegan gruel” now and again. In this everything-but-the-animal-byproduct kitchen sink is fresh kale, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, homemade lentil patties, chopped celeries/carrots/onions (use the Mirepoix mix from Trader Joe’s), leftover marinated tempeh, rice vinegar, olive oil. Toss in a heated non-stick pan, serve. Healthy, reasonably satisfying. View high resolution

Geekista Eats: broiled Swai fish with bread crumbs and parmesan, cauliflower mash with roasted garlic and kale salad with dried berries. Delicious! My lovely friend Lova made it for us before we geeked out on Ethan Hunt’s gadgets at a screening of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. The low-carb factor of the meal made me feel like I could scale a 130-story building alongside Tom Cruise. Or maybe just watch him do it from a hotel room. Toss-up. View high resolution

Geekista Eats gadgetry! Got this for the first night of Hanukkah (I’m not Jewish but the person who gave it to me is). Cannot wait to use it to make ice cream shakes, I mean, chopped salads. Heck, both.
