I'm stretching you out like elastic

[sovay]

I just slept almost fifteen hours. I didn't think I was physiologically capable of sleeping fifteen hours anymore. I dreamed about grad school, my cousins, and briefly Sherlock Holmes. I assume it was catch-up not just from the marathon but from the previous week of niece-care; I'm sure it was very good for me. I'm just not sure what to do about the fact that I had plans for the day and none of them involved waking up in time for dinner.

That's incredible.

*offers half a chicken to go with it* Good Lord, it's possible we haven't dragged you to Nando's, only regular normal Peruvian-Salvadorean pollo a la brasa places. Well, next time.

I would have appreciated waking up while there was still sunlight as opposed to an overcast sunset, but in fact I don't feel terrible. I am hoping it will not prevent me from sleeping at what most people consider usual hours tonight. That would be tremendously weird for me, but at this point I suspect not unhealthy.

You took me in 2019, as well as to the Pollo Rico in 2018! Man, now I want some kind of fancy chicken.

My one complaint is that during the pandemic, they've stopped serving the grilled livers in peri-peri glaze. I can get fairly far on a pound of chicken liver.

(Oh, good. I do like to make sure everyone has ample fancy meat when they visit. And visits will happen again and this clears the deck for The Greek Place Where You Eat for Three Days, or something.)

I'm so sorry. I wish I thought Mamaleh's chicken liver would ship without arriving with language skills.

What, can you order a hekatomb?

Basically, except instead of ox you get gyro and instead of misc fowl you get souvlaki. And then they just... send sides. There is no calculating the sides. The only thing they stint on is the olives, and it's because they're the expensive ones.

*hands you a foil-lidded sheet tray*

We're going to have to learn haruspicina via feta. The health department knocks you down a letter for entrails on the floor.

Words can't capture how much I miss chicken liver prepared well.

One can do it oneself, but I'm the only one in my household that eats it; usually fine, because we have any number of places where we used to be able to sit down and have it plopped in front of me. Sigh. To better days!

I'm also the lone appreciator in my house. Ah! There's a theme for the "where should we eat dinner" discussion at our next in-person con. I think it will happen!
