Dude, usually when they don't hit ya, it means that you didn't reach the right temp to cook them at and stuff. You might wanna make that 2-hour run to get an oven thermometer, candy thermometer, and a few other thermometers to get the oil to the right temp! Or send me your address and I'll stop by and do it for you. The offer is open until I get a job that is....
