1. Put some oil in a hot skillet (I use coconut oil). I used about 1/4 cup.

2. Add some dried anchovies.

3. Sprinkle with salt (and other spices like cayenne and turmeric, if you want).

4. Move the anchovies around so they don't burn.

5. Stop when the anchovies are crispy.

6. Put them in a container when they are cool.

The Asian recipes put peanuts in with the anchovies

while frying. In Korea they coat them with a hot

sauce after frying.

Oh cool!

I stopped in the local asian store yesterday. Found lots of fish

heads and other fishy stuff I hadn't seen before. I think I saw

hearts too! I didn't buy anything because I decided I should have

recipes in mind before I just pick up a bunch of ingredients.

So the dried anchovies I found were really little! Like under 1/4

inch by 3/4 inch. Is that what you would use for this recipe?

Aren't Asian stores just so fun? Like an NT store, if we invented one ...

Yeah, any size is ok. They do come in different sizes, I just

get the cheapest (the cheap ones are usually more broken, but

I don't care much about that).

We should invent one. With labels like Glutenator-Approved (with a cute

little official seal and stuff) and -Recommended, and ish, and

Katja-Says-Wheeeee! and Tested-By-Suze and ... well, ummm, I'm sure there's

more, but my mind is like a fried dried anchovy at the moment.

my kitchen is an NT store.

hee. i was working with someone today who is type 1 diabetes and whose

children present tooooonnnnnnns of celiac symptoms...and she was just

coming to grips with what it would mean to *really* be gluten free...and

that, for example, even though she'd worked so hard to make these gluten

free cookies to bring over, i wouldn't let amber eat one, because i know

she bakes with flour at home, and what with heidi's contaminated sugar and

amber's DH finally finally finally clearing up, i was just not *about* to

chance it. and ya know, i told her, it's a process...you think you get it

all and then you find the one last thing that was hiding cause you haven't

used it since last samhain and eek you didn't check the label and bam! it

had gluten! but that ya know...it's a process.

um, it's late.

anyway, my process is ovah! i finally, this weekend, rooted out The Very

Last Thing that contains any gluten at all...a bottle of stevita (who knew?).

and now?

my kitchen is an NT store.

wheeeee!

(do i even need to sign it? doesn't the wheeeeee just give me away? did you

guys know that i learned to sign emails *just* for ya'll? i never did that

before...)
