– I have been working like crazy to catch up on all the TV I missed when I was in Nashville. It is a grueling task, but I am committed. Right now I’m taking a little break because I thought I’d better get something to drink. Because I find that when watching excessive amounts of television, it’s always wise to stay well-hydrated. It helps with the leg cramps.
– This next sentence will only make sense to you if you’re watching “24,” and if you’re not watching “24” feel free to skip to the next thing, but I just need to say this: Y’all, I cannot believe that Tony Almeda. THE NERVE.
– I do have a picture of Amy Grant from the ASCAP dinner, but I haven’t gotten it uploaded yet. The picture doesn’t show off her hair in its full glory, but it will definitely give you the general idea. Also: I did not take the picture because I was too afraid to talk to her. However, we did make eye contact very briefly and I smiled. THAT WAS THE BEST I COULD DO, Y’ALL.
– And speaking of the ASCAP Awards, I have another post or two that I’ll put up sometime very soon when the DVR is no longer demanding so much of my attention.
– Earlier this afternoon I was talking to Annie, and she told me that she and her family were about to go eat at a restaurant that serves fried green beans as an appetizer.
“Well,” I replied, “I’m going to need to hear more about this.”
Apparently this restaurant takes whole, cooked green beans, batters them, and then slaps them in a deep fryer until they’re golden and crispy.
I don’t know when I’ve ever been more intrigued by a fried food that I’ve not yet experienced.
So Annie told me she’d send me a picture from the restaurant, and as my mama would say, IT CAME THROUGH ON THE EMAIL just a few minutes ago.
Have y’all ever heard of such?
Sophie – I was thinking and hoping and wishing and hoping and thinking and wishing that:
The canister Tony stole was an antidote for Jack Bauer and that Tony really wasn’t dirty – Larry Moss was…but it is not appearing to be that way –
And I’m just sick over it. Wish I had some fried green beans!

Yes and they are fabulous! TGIFridays served them with a wasabi dipping sauce that is out of this world!
101 comments on fried green beans, huh? We just ate them last week.
Did you see Scott’s last sentence of his AI post? I just read it. :)
Like the other commenters, I have had the fried green beans and they are fabulous! You MUST check them out!
Yes, TGI Friday’s serves them, and they’re quite delicious. Though not quite as good as the fried zucchini at Maggiano’s Little Italy!
I still don’t like green beans. And this will not fool me into eating them either.
I’m sure other restuarants do this, but at “The Onion” in Spokane, WA (where I use to live) they do deep-fried oreos… oh.my.word.

PF Changs has an awesome appetizer of fried green beans. The dipping sauce is delicious too!
TGI Fridays has them! And they are delish!!!!!
you are really missing out on those fried green beans… they are delish!
I’m so glad you commented about 24! I think I’m the only one who watches it where I work and I’ve not had anyone to talk to about it. It upset me to know end to watch him do his awful deed last week! Jack will get him….if someone can save Jack first :)
You can also order these from Schwan’s ( http://www.schwans.com/products/product_41473_2998_3012.htm) and bake them or fry them in your own kitchen. They are delicious!
To be Miss Efficiency, I’m going to comment here, even though there are already so many I may get a bit lost in the shuffle, but – yes I’ve heard of deep fried green beans, cracks me up to know that a mom who had kids who refused to eat veggies must have come up with that, and I’m with her – pick your battles and maybe veggies isnt one of them. Amy’s hair – completely jealous – I swear I’ve never seen her look anything but fabulous, so it helps that she’s so sweet you just have to love her in spite of it all.
