And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Bad" is the wrong term. The meat you chicken-fry (or turn into slow-cooked stew) is tough, but flavorful.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How do you feel about rellenos?

I think I've had them once. The inside of my mouth is really delicate, so there's a really small window between nasty-greasy and cutting me.

Oh! Saltfish fritters. I like those too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, not "bad," but cheap, surely.

Nope, but that's the next team the Royals need to catch to move up in the standings.

Yeah, definitely cheap.

So, my brain just went, chicken fried steak --> Grammy --> keilbasa with potatoes and canned green beans, and now I want that for dinner. Not gonna happen.

I'm the same way, at least with the cutting issue. I don't like certain breads toasted for sandwiches because they'll shred the roof of my mouth.

Rellenos fry-coating should be thin & softish, not crunchy. All the ones I've had have been some weird sort of thin egg batter.

Pull the good pork!

I don't think that would work! I'm sure Alton Brown could explain it better than I can, but I think the kind of pork that would make a perfect pork roast or chop doesn't have the fat and connective tissue that breaks down over long, slow cooking to make the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of shredded pork.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I'm not real top-of-the-mouth sensitive, but I've certainly had some razor-sharp toasted-baguette sandwiches. I mean, what's the point of that?

My brain went rellenos-Mexican food and now I want enchiladas.
