"You only listen to what I don't say"

Bill's lunch today was leftovers from Thanksgiving. He conveniently dumped it all in a bowl and called it lunch.

What? Did you think he was going to come up with a clever name? Erm, no.

What? Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies all mushed together with some American cheese... It was a bowl of Thanksgiving. A Thanksgiving bowl.

Just now on Triple D (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives) we saw a restaurant where they are doing the same thing. They are doing one thing different; they're deep-frying it.

I saw Bill's face as he watched. I could tell he really wanted those leftovers so he could recreate it all over again.

He'll have to settle for using our leftovers from tonight's dinner, chicken meuniere and risotto. It too would be good deep fried.

It won't be the same. You need to have multiple carbohydrates and the right amount of fat. You can't do that with chicken.

Beside all that, I went for the whole Shepherd's pie jive, rather than the deep fried balls. 

Now... about deep fried balls...
