The shrine of Ise Jingu in Japan is 2000 years old and has been rebuilt every twenty years for over 1000 years, part of a ritual of general reinvigoration. Many years ago they noticed that the sacred forest they've been taking lumber from was shrinking badly, so they put a moritorium on using that lumber, and there is currently a 200-year plan to revitalizing the forest so they can use that lumber again. 200 years.
I love a country with a long view of things.

Aha! No bad pieces of meat! They must be banished, not mitigated!
That's because you're rich.
And the point of chicken fried steak is to take a bad peice of meat and make it yummier via pounding on it, and battering and frying it.
Same with venison. It's generally tough, so you pound it to tenderize, bread it, fry it, and serve with gravy.
Yum yum yum yum.
If we banished bad pieces of meat, there would be no pulled pork. And that would be deeply wrong and sad.
(I know! But I'm not even arguing how to sauce the shredded goodness!)
That's because you're rich.
ita's priorities include:
- good cuts of meat
- surfing
- shooting
- speakerphones
It's just how I choose to live.
I'm not big on the batter.
How do you feel about rellenos?
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out if I'll ever get paid. And if so, when. And how. It's unclear as of yet.
"Bad" is the wrong term. The meat you chicken-fry (or turn into slow-cooked stew) is tough, but flavorful.
I just noticed that there are actual two, count'em TWO, teams in baseball worse that the Royals.
Surely one of those two teams is the so-bad-it's-comical Cincinnati Reds?
