Coney Fries 07/21/2009

Once upon a time there was a young girl who loved to snowboard. Some uncles of hers just happened to own a local ski hill and the girls mother worked there, which provided not only a ride to the ski hill every day with free lift tickets, but also a "tab" on which to charge lunch, snacks and beverages on. The young girl soon became addicted to Coney Fries, and would often eat two or three orders of them a day. On the first payday for her mother, the addiction was discovered and an intervention was necesary because her mother was IN THE HOLE! Thats right folks, her mother owed money on payday instead of being payed money on payday, thanks to the wonderful three children she brought to work with her everyday, probably to save money on a babysitter. Ironic isn't it. And totally hilarious. The three children were then rationed and monitored as to how much food they ate in a day. It was cruel and unusual punishment. They worked up such an appetite snowboarding all day that they were simply dying of malnutrition and had to use what little energy they had left to find ways to get more Coney Fries. It suddenly came to them. The boys in the top lift shack were always ordering food from the kitchen and we (oops, I mean they) were the delivery kids. It was the perfect crime. We would go into the lodge, put on our best serious face, and walk up to the kitchen counter and say, " So & So in the top shack wants an order of Coney fries and a chocolate bar, and a coke on his tab, he asked me to deliver it." and like magic the food appeared and was, without question and to our complete amazement, put on his tab, not my moms. Now we did have one guy in particular that we did this to the most, and I am not mentioning names for fear of a trip to small claims court where I would no doubt owe him quite alot of money and get a verbal spanking from a Judge Judy Wannabe, but we did make the other boys take their turns as well. We would then spend the ride up the chairlift stuffing our faces, and laughing our heads off. Still, to this day, when someone mentions snowboarding or fries I have a little giggle to myself. It was the crime of the century. Well, 1993 for sure. And here, without further ado, is the recipe for Coney Fries, because there are less illegal ways of obtaining the best fries in the world. Just to let you all know, this was the original recipe from the ski hill and it serves alot of people, so feel free to cut it in half, or better yet, invite some friends over for Coney Fries and a few beers.

Coney Fries
5 lbs of Hamburger (moose burger if you're me)
2.5 Onions
1/2 cup of Mustard
1 tbsp of Worchestershire Sauce
3/4 cup of vinegar
1/2 tbsp Tobasco Sauce
1/6 cup of Salt
1.5 cups of Sugar
Mix all ingrediants except ketchup. Simmer for a half an hour, then add the ketchup. I then put it in a slowcooker for the day. This sauce MUST be served on top of homemade french fries. They have to be homemade and I cannot stress this enough. Please, under no circumstances serve on top of pe-prepared, frozen, then oven baked fries. It is a sin and you will go straight to hell. But you are allowed to add cheese on top. That is downright delicious.
Enjoy!

i have to admit, the only reason i worked out there was for you three to be able to snowboard every weekend and holidays...... like the rich kids did (plus, it was amazing how everyone jumped out of bed at 6 a.m. every morning!) and yes, i had to limit your food intake, cause i was going in the hole, but thank god for auntie lisa, who snuck food to you in the late afternoon, (or you would have all died of starvation)
