I guess if I actually liked chicken-fried anything I wouldn't consider it a poor substitute for pawning your TV. But pulled pork? Whatever pork you have to get to make it is the right pork. Good pork. Cheap or expensive. It's a destination in and of itself.

Hmm. I could have chicken-fried chicken for dinner tonight.

I like chicken-fried chicken, but I've just never seen the appeal to doing it to anything else. That may be because my familiarity with chicken-fried steak comes exclusively from Denny's.

Woohoo! I just got the okay to a) set up a book exchange bookcase in the staff lounge, and b) go shopping at Target to spend the firm's money on the book case.

eta: Going back a little, I would consider learning how to shoot/getting a gun, except for the fact that I am utterly convinced that I would end up hurting myself long before I got good enough to actually hit a target.

Any time I pound a piece of meat to tenderize it, bread it , and fry it, I think of it as "just like abalone".

Mmm, abalone.

Abalone rellenos = delicious.

Ooh, that sounds cool, Perkins.

I have no dinner on Wednesdays, except maybe ice cream. Does anyone have recommendations for a good scoop? My standard spring-loaded one isn't that good. I'm trying to develop the patience to let the ice cream sit before serving, but my attention span isn't so good.

Hmmph. I better get to that e-mail I've been avoiding.

Hey, Perkins! -t said "abalone"!

ita, dip the scoop in hot water right before scooping the ice cream. It solves the patience problem as well as the ice cream = rock solid issue.

Hey, Perkins! -t said "abalone"!

Was it still squiggling?

I really need to plan an LA trip. Maybe in August.
