Hey all, sincerely hope you're well.
Many of our American posters are gathering together with family and friends today. They're likely to hear plenty of awful takes from their liberals. Unscratched, freshly scratched, or pre-scratched chuds alike, there are sure to be brainworms all around the table and openly airing their unhinged grievances. Please feel free to share their awful takes here. This thread is open for supporting one another, venting, laughing at bad family takes (both stale and bespoke).
This thread is intended to be a supportive space to bring the community together. Please be kind to one another. As always, discussion of struggle sessions or attempts to relitigate them will not be permitted.
Have fun and keep cozy! 
no problem! frying stuff is crazy fast and intimidating because of things like spattering and grease fires and the high heat. high potential for a big mess, but always gonna result in a medium mess. definitely one of those kitchen moves where you want to know where everything is going before you start. having a wire rack to set fried stuff on is crucial so it doesn't get soggy/stays crunchy. and something I learned: you can keep fried stuff warm and ready in the oven at 200°F for as long as you need to wrap up the rest of whatever.
