Fried green beans

Thank you for sharing this, BFC.

My doctor told me to increase the amount of fat in my diet. He specifically recommended olive oil. We're also hoping for a good bean crop this summer, if we can keep the rabbits out of our garden.

This sounds great and I will give it a try.

This sounds like a nice treat!

Good choice on the olive oil.  I think I might try it using peanut oil, it seems to be able to withstand higher heat and not so strong in flavor as olive oil, though still fairly healthy.

Susan, I'm looking forward to planting the veggie garden too!

 

 

Wow, BFC, what restraint! LOL  OMG how absolutely hilarious that Pags is chiding you for fried green beans and your lifestyle when she posts endlessly about everybody's right to whatever lifestyle they choose, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, puke. LOL  Oh, wait!  I get it!  What PAGS deems appropriate is okay.  What a narrow-minded view from a kid who preaches tolerance. 

Of course, BFC, you do realize Pags could care less what you and your family eat.  She was just trying to poke you with her chit stirring stick, as usual. 

 Never had fried green beans, but maybe I'll give them a try!

This sound good. I'm going to have to try this soon yum.

And the fried Asparagus is very good.

 Thanks for the recipe fix BFC. They sound delicious.

First off, Pags, it's called RNY gastric bypass, and it's no secret here. If you really want to point some fingers about that, why don't you look at your good friend Tech, who obviously did a google search on my name and ran across my profile on obesityhelp.com and just about peed her pants trying to let the cat out of the bag here. It was my place to tell it in my own time if I wanted it told, but she wasn't going to be happy until it was.

Why would I poke fingers at anyone concerning your proceedure.  I don't know what Tech did or did not do.  I don't care what Tech did or did not do.  Tech can take care of Tech and I don't presume to know what Tech has or has not done.  Hell, I didn't know you were on obesityhelp.com.  I hope that since you put that one here, that you deleted your profile.

Seccondly, this is not something we have every day. It was a treat as well as an experiment. They were not greasy like french fries, they were not cooked in lard, and using the expression "eating them like candy" doesn't mean he gorged on them. If he'd eaten every one of them I cooked he couldn't have gorged on them; there weren't enough!

You said yourself that you just had them the other day at the resteraunt, and then made them yesterday.  I just figured that since you went to the trouble of actually going through with a surgery like that, and made it to where you stomach could hold around 2oz at a time, and the fact that you were just on here the other day talking about your husband's episode with the prescribed appetite suppressant, that eating things like that would be one of the last things you'd be doing.  If you didn't want opinions, then you should have posted this on your board and not one that you don't run.  And if you thought I was just trying to be a *** by posting my opinion, that's your problem.  I stopped giving a rat's left nut for your opinion quite a while back when I saw you attack TM and then San the way that you did, and then after you were proven to lie to a friend of mine, I stopped giving a rat's right nut.  As I said in my post, twice, it was just my opinion.

Lastly, you need to pull your nasty claws back in. There are a lot of things I read on this board about your lifestyle that your minor child is exposed to that concerns me, but I keep my mouth shut about it.

Hit a nerve, did I?  Must have for you to try and bring my child into it.  LMAO!  Such ignorance isn't a flattering thing to wear, ya know.  The day that you know jackshit about my life and what my child is exposed to will be the day I kiss your big ass.  And that's never gonna happen. 

Many on here know alot about your life, as you post endless attention-seeking drivel.  You remind me of a lovesick teenager in a short skirt turning cartwheels so the gang of boys hanging around can look up your skirt.  @@

 BFC, I missed where you asked for opinions regarding whether or not you should eat fried green beans. LOL  I think the funniest part is that someone who HASN'T experienced the procedure you have takes it upon themselves to give you advice. ROFLMAO!

Why would I poke fingers at anyone concerning your proceedure.

You tell me why. You brought it up.

made it to where you stomach could hold around 2oz at a time

Educate yourself before you speak about things you know nothing about. 2 oz? I'd be dead.

 

then after you were proven to lie to a friend of mine,

 I have no clue what you are referring to here.

 

Hit a nerve, did I?  Must have for you to try and bring my child into it.  LMAO!  Such ignorance isn't a flattering thing to wear, ya know.

 Sounds like I'm the one that hit a nerve.

Holy Hannah, Pags! You're the only one I know who could take a post about green beans and turn it into a nasty attack. You are very good at what you do. You say you hit a nerve with BFC, but you certainly don't like your private life (child) brought into the mix, do you? Better stay out of the recipes and stick to the other pot stirring posts!

Ah, now she is a food critic..@@ How amazingly talented you have become, Paggy.. Don't they have these treats in your monthly food allotment or are you just trying to provoke a nasty response from people because you are in bashing mode, again? Anyway, back to the real subject at hand. I am glad you found something you can enjoy as a special treat, BFC. And, who would even think someone would pass judgment on you for doing so. @@ A local organic food store here sells deep fried vegies. Green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, rutageba. They are not dipped in flour or breaded, but have a great topping on them after they are fried. And, btw they are very popular with the vegan crowd and the health conscientious.  I think they are great and a super alternative to potato chips. Have a nice day and watch out for low flying jackals if ya can. *

Jackals don't fly.

lnzpooper.....do you mean using the egg beaters for breading makes it crispier?

I did research it bfc and this is what I found.

"It's a drastic lifestyle change.  You can't eat more than 2 ounces of food at a time -- really -- your stomach isn't used much anymore.  You have a 2-oz pouch instead (okay, over time it learns to stretch, but not by much, if you eat properly).  If you eat too much, or too fast, you may throw up.  If you eat too much sugar, you may get sick (it's called "dumping syndrome", and includes nausea, flushed sweating, dizziness, and/or crampy abdominal pain followed by diarrhea).  You have to sip water all day long (you can't gulp a lot).  You have to eat pureed foods for two months post-op (to allow proper healing), then chew everything very carefully and completely after that, or you could get sick (or worse yet, clogged)."

Everything else that I found seems to support what this woman, someone who's had the surgery, says. 

I didn't say you could only eat 2oz a day, but that you would have about 2oz at a time.  Of course, I'm sure you've stretched it out a bit since your surgery. 

 

I brought extra! =)
