Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

Except naan—BLECCCHH!

Okay, now THAT is crazy-talk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've never had naan.

I've never had naan.

Dude! Quite depriving yourself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.

Oh, Matt. I weep for you. (Not "sweep for you," which I typed twice.)

Up with the sun

I don't even like fried chicken, yet ... I can't deny the chicken/waffle appeal. Throw in that mac and cheese? OH GOD OH GOD MY GOD.

See, I like fried chicken, and I like waffles, but the idea of them being on the same plate just disturbs me. (Also, maple syrup + fried chicken = ew, in my head.) But I might try it, should it be offered, for lo! I am adventurous.

Mac & cheese, though, is a dealbreaker. It's one of those foods I decided I didn't like when I was five, and every time I try some I decide I'm still right. I agree that adding broccoli -- say, a 75-25 ratio of noodles to broccoli -- would make it more edible. Also, the noodles should be spirals or penne, because I hate the way macaroni looks.

Hi, I'm a freak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Matt, you have not actually had naan, I'm afraid.

I swear, I don't think I've ever had bread that I didn't like, even the weird Himalayan steamed bun that was basically flavorless.

But often they aren't on the same plate. Sometimes they are, but usually we get chicken + gravy on one plate and the waffle on the other.

Carb slut. It's amazing you were able to stick to the high protein diet.

I think Matt needs a naan intervention. I love naan when it is crisp out of the tandoor.Mmm... I want Indian food now.

What Dana said. They should lock people up for calling something like that "naan".
