Thanks guys! I enjoy cooking in the office. So far.
I'll keep that in mind! :biggrin:
I do my best to keep my diet healthy as possible. That fries was actually my first fries since 2005. I haven't touched deep fried and fast food like McDonald's and KFC since 2005. Except for Subway. I can tolerate with Subway although it's still somewhat salty for my taste. So I only eat Subway once or twice in a year.
The supermarket where I bought the fries carried four to five different brands at the time. I compared each brand based upon ingredients and nutrition information.
My rule is simple when it comes to processed/packaged food, the less ingredients, the better. Zero trans fat is a must. Same goes with MSG (Monosodium glutamate), corn syrup and saturated fat. I know that saturated fat in processed/packaged food is unavoidable sometime so I 'neutralize' it through workout.
The ingredients of frozen fries that I bought were potatoes and vegetable oil. It has no preservatives whatsoever. But the thing is there are many types of vegetable oil and they are not all as natural or healthy. But eh, it should be okay to consume as long as you know the limit (food portion).
But since I am fussy... :biggrin:
I washed my frozen fries with hot water to eliminate its vegetable oil as much as possible. I then blended my fries with extra virgin olive oil. I sprinkled the fries with a very light amount of salt as I was going to serve it with chili ketchup (ketchup already contains salt). Instead of deep frying, I microwaved my fries.
I am a health freak but I do switch on my 'I-Am-a-Human-After-All' mode once in a week. So my colleagues and I still eat in a restaurant every week. As freak as I am, I still eat anyone's birthday cake.
Speaking of birthday cake, my boss asked me to buy a cake to celebrate a colleague's birthday on last July. She asked me to buy a small cake since we didn't have a lot colleagues in the office on that moment. But what did I do? I bought a huge one because the huge one was cheap. I was forced to eat few slices of the cake by my boss. Hur. Below was the cake!
