I have not been to the deep south. Orlando doesn't really count. The deepest south I have been is Kentucky - where they fry the tomatoes. And grits. And ham. And chicken. But not pickles.

Ron says he had the deep fried battered pickles in an upscale (not sure what that means in his world) restaurant in LA. Is it common is Detwah?
You can get them here at Katz's, home of the Chocolate Eruption, a dessert I am incapable of ordering with a straight face. I don't think that they're that bad.

Fried pickles sound good to me, if they are fried in hot oil so that the coating is crispy. I don't deep fat fry at home, though, so I'm unlikely to have them.

of course they sound good. everyone finds them disgusting, or at best Okay, yet they are all over menus across the South. What with no one ordering them you'd think the restaurants would take them off.

The ones at Katz's are breaded in cornmeal, sort of the way you make fried green tomatoes. I've never tried any deep fat frying at home either and I'm unlikely to try. I've only had partial success in making the breading stick to fried green tomatoes. I think that I don't have the pan hot enough. Or maybe it's that I don't deep fat fry them.

Fried turkey is surprisingly good, and extremely quick to cook. I guess the only problem is risking the third degree burns to make it, but whatever.

Two solutions, by the way. As for bacon specifically, you can bake it by putting it on parchment paper on a jelly roll pan. That will reduce the cooking odors. Otherwise, you can put a shallow, wide-mouthed bowl of white vinegar next to the stove as you are cooking and it will absorb the odors so that they don't linger in the house. The house will still smell good like Bacon! while you're cooking, but not so bad afterward. This only works if you can stand the smell of vinegar, although it shouldn't be overpowering -- it will only smell like vinegar near the stove.
Does that (the vinegar) work for other cooking smells like fish, garlic, or onion?

fried green tomatoes are supposed to be pan fried, aren't they? at least that's how I make them.

Ok, people, it's crunch time. If you haven't already figured it out, somewhere, in a dark, cramped, windowless room, Penske is planning his next k-race snipe. We have an opportunity here to send a message, one with far-reaching consequences. For the next 15 mins or so, I expect every active poster to post as much as possible. Shotgun approach. Follow the lead of some other posters and turn off that internal filter. Just post utter crap.

I stomped off, went through security, bought a Cinnabon, and glumly sat at the back of the B line, waiting to be herded on board so that I could hunt for space in the overhead bins.

Forget the Cinnabon. Name me a herd animal that hunts. Name me one.

This would be a small thing were it not for the overall pattern. Thomas Friedman does not get these things right even by accident. It's not that he occasionally screws up and fails to make his metaphors and images agree.
It is OK to make criticisms, but only if you can come up with specific examples to support your criticisms. Otherwise you are just name calling. That is exactly what this review is: random name calling appropriate for a twelve year old. Out of all the blanket statements this guy makes the only specific criticism is the one he makes above. The reviewer avers that you can't say "herded onto an airplane" and then "hunt for a space in the overhead bin" because that is mixing metaphors and images. Really. Friedman never said riding on Southwest was like being a herd animal - (although that would have been correct) - so there is no metaphor here and therefore no mixing metaphors. As for mixed images, he just used the verb "herded” and used the verb "to hunt. There are no images here, just descriptive verbs. The only image "hunting for a bin" brings to my mind is well....hunting for a bin. There are no images to mix, and if there were, is it such a crime to mix them?

That is the best example he can come up with to support an endless barrage of unsubstantiated criticisms? He says it may seem a small thing - well then why didn't he use another example that is not a small thing? Why is this the only example?

Please tell me I misinterpreted this post and you were really showing this review to show how pathetic the reviewer is.

I have a lot of criticisms of Friedman but this review is pathetic.

Yes. It doesn't totally eliminate, but it helps a lot -- so much so that I can really tell the difference when I (oh, who amy I kidding, my husband) forgets this little trick. Cooking odors never bothered me in my old house because the kitchen was set back, but in my new house the stove is quite near the stairway and odors travel right up the stairs to the bedroom and linger. I place the vinegar bowl between the stove and the stairway and it's amazing.

By the way, I hate the stupid kitchen design that puts the sink underneath the window on an exterior wall but the range on an interior wall such that the vent is nearly useless.

My mother's kitchen is designed so one cannot stand at the sink while the dishwasher is open, meaning you have to rinse off the plates, move aside, open the dishwasher, reach over the door and put the plates inside.

wait until you've been here for awhile. on the PB you read his rants in comparision to Ty posting DU blogs as "facts." of course Sebby comes off as well-reasoned. Here he has to argue against A-listers.
