For frying, get yourself a deep oil fryer and keep it in the garage. I use peanut oil or vegetable oil in mine. The basket lifts out with the lid still on which controls splatters. When I want to use it, I bring it outside, plug it in, leave it for ten minutes to heat up. By the way, when cooking french fries, put the fries in for a few minutes. The temp will drop, which starts to make the fries oil soaked and less crispy. Let the oil heat back up to 365 f, then place fries back in for a few minutes. Cost of oil: it is reusable for many cookings.
As for the vegetarian anti protein eater, the body needs a lot more protein than a handful a week for optimal performance, especially factoring in any form of exercise. even by the US govt's low lowest common denominator standards that also has to acct for 100 lb grandmothers, 3 oz a day is recommended. About 65 grams. Whey protein concentrate and eggs are the most bioavailable, followed by meat. It is a lot harder to get complete proteins from vegetable sources, because we do not have digestive tracts like herbivores. I have one stomach, not 7. Also, to get a complete load of 65 grams of protein, covering all the essential amino acids, would require about 2000 calories of beans and rice. Happy eating. Don't forget that many amino acids have been classified as quasi essential. For example, glutamine needs rise significantly when the body is under stress, like disease, exercise, or low calorie periods.
