A good day to ya'll Steem peeps! Well so as the market goes down, let's all together have a sit , watch how it goes and of course eat fries. :-D I hope you guys are feeling great in some aspects despite the bearish market performance. Haha. Everybody seems to be hibernating in this point of time.

"Hello! Welcome to Cookntell!"

This is recipe #58
Crunchy Potato Fries Cones with Sunflower Seeds

So let me start asking about the trending Weku. Have you guys signed up yet? It's basically a clone of Steemit. I just signed up and so far quite not bad with W$5.33 for my introduction besides having a 100 waku which seems to be inviting. I don't know if it'll work but I just gave it a try and I am currently on my 3rd post so far.

So if you're at weku leave a comment below and definitely will see you there to drop by and give a follow. Anyways, after a super typhoon hit the PH that damaged the North part and with it's death toll rises to 74 currently due to flashfloods and landslides, my wanting to make my next food post finally took place after the aftermath.

Knowing that the super typhoon "Ompong" approached the Philippine area of responsibility same time as the super hurricane "Florence" hit accross the south of US is definitely devastating .

The flooding crisis in our country and the south of US that caused billions of damage and where a lot of citizens were affected, lost their homes and some their loved ones is very disturbing to think about.

My prayers are for these people who were greatly affected by the flooding situation. Please keep safe everyone!

Our place where I currently at now also experienced heavy rains and strong winds that also affected my internet connection. Our antenna wirings got lose so I needed to wait for the technician to troubleshoot this wiring problem.

It's been quite a tough time though aside from weather, the food price in the market went high since the time Ompong hit the country.

Probably a lot of farmers crops were damaged and it affected the market a lot here. Some of the vegetables that were mostly common in the market, you can sparingly see them now in higher price almost doubled up.

So I just settled choosing potatoes and good thing I was able to buy it before the typhoon came. I was really craving for french fries since I'm too deprived from the city's convenience. I can't stoop thinking about the McDonalds French fries, oh those times when it's only few walks away from your house and you'd be able to get a large size french fries.

But living in the island is the total opposite. You gotta make your own food from scratch. Well it's kind of a good thing too since you're able to make something from organic and not junk after all.

This recipe I made today is the result of my fries cravings. It wasn't suppose to be my plan to make a shoot out from this recipe since I was too hungry and really craving fries and I was thinking I rally want it urgently and so badly.

But during the cooking session I decided maybe I can post this recipe. Well I guess my tummy can wait since it's only a photoshoot and not a video shoot. So I definitely gave it a go. This home made recipe is way different from the usual french fries we buy from famous food chains.

I gave it a twist so instead doing the classic way of frying using only plain potatoes and salt for flavouring, I decided to use a batter which is a combination of flour, sunflower seeds and some seasonings. So you just dip your cooked and sliced potatoes to it and drop em into a 325 d F temp oil and there ya go, your home made crunchy fries!

Please feel free to grab this recipe photo and hope you'll give this a try. It's a different and unique way of making fries and you're not gonna regret making this recipe since it's delicious, tasty and crunchy. Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS

Peel potatoes and slice according to desired shapes. Soak sliced potatoes in ice cold water and chill for 30 mins.

Serve immediately with desired dipping sauce.

I have to be honest with you guys. I don't really call it vain but I love watching my food videos. It feels like a meditation for me. It is basically the sound and art in the kitchen. The sound of the fork, the spoon, the knife, the cutting board, the water, the mixing, the squeezing, the blending and everything in it sounds like in a grand symphony: a kitchen live music. For me, it is just sooo soothing. It's the reason why I put audio on my videos so you guys can experience a different way to watch too. So I wanna share with you some of videos here:

It's been on my to-do list to dry weku but I thought it was spelled differently? maybe I forgot.

What's the difference btwn that an ONO?

Hello @nomadicsoul Haha Yeah I mispelled it Lol. It's suppose to be "weku" sorry about that. I haven't heard about ONO though I looked at it on the web it looks complicated for me. :-) Anyways, thanks for visiting and see you around. :-)

Yeah I never tried either but was thinking about it just for fun. Do you put your same posts from steemit onto weku?

I think the price is going up little by little I hope it remains that way

Now I like these fries, I like the cone where they come very original and I think I would try all the ones you have here with a little tomato sauce

ketchup you mean would be the best pair for these fries. Thank for dropping by by the way. :-D Have a good day!
