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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds cool, Perkins.

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
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.

Was it still squiggling?
I really need to plan an LA trip. Maybe in August.

Abalone?
OK, it doesn't matter if you have a PhD and speak at least 2 languages. The abuse of !!! makes me think you are a omigaaawdteenybopper.

Hey! Dammit, I had a post! Freaking new Netscape.
Anyway, I was bitching and moaning about our apartment, where it takes a good five minutes to get hot water, so not so much on the patience issue. Then, once I was done being all about me and my problems, I was going to tell ita about the special fancy-schmancy defrosting ice cream scoops, of which we have one. Like this, for instance. It's fantastic. I never understood how people got satisfactory scoops of ice cream before.
