A little embarrassing to admit, but true, Mom, Dad, Ty and I started something a few years back which we call a 'fry bust'. Patterned after the 'corn bust', it is a meal that consists only of fries. But they aren't just any fries. We HAVE to go to Dylan's, and we have to chase the fries with one of their selections of Lime fountain drinks - whether that be a Lime Rickey (something to be discussed in it's own right - why don't they have these other places?), a Fresh Lime, a Cherry Lime or I forget what else......Anyway, the reason we have to go there is because we believe their fries are superior in a way to others. The criteria being: extra crispy, crinkle-cut (great for dipping, and they do have fry sauce there, which also puts this place over the edge) and properly salted. No soggy numbers, and not heavily greased. All the stars have to be aligned for the fry bust to happen. None of this is really talked about, yet somehow understood. It only happens once a summer (more than this and we would probably be pretty shame-filled) and we generally have to have done something to 'earn' it (past things have included yard work or swimming).
On a side note, I have spent the rest of today in a bit of a 'fry coma'.
