All departed this world in a shovel of fat

[sovay]

At my family's annual Hanukkah party tonight, my brother deep-fried: Golden Oreos, a Crunchie bar, two kinds of marzipan (chocolate-dipped and plain), a peeled clementine, candied orange peel, candied ginger, a chocolate marshmallow, and Great Cthulhu. There were calls for him to deep-fry some grapes, but by that point the exercise was mostly theoretical: I'm not sure anyone's cardiovascular system could have stood further experimentation. We may have achieved both excellence and serious injury.

But oh, my God. Deep-fried candied orange peel and deep-fried candied ginger. That may be all you need.

And hope.

I'm glad there were good things. I hope nobody was seriously injured by the excellence, or even in addition to. I hope even Great Cthulhu was tasty.

...Deep-fried candied orange peel and deep-fried candied ginger.

And hope.

Yes. Needed things, all of them. Especially the last, especially right now. Especially here.

Nobody ate Great Cthulhu, to be honest, but he was marveled at.

Part of me is slightly disappointed,* but I do have to admit that Great Old Ones are probably not part of a healthy diet. Somehow I doubt that eldritch horrors are organic, although I suppose that they probably are hormone-free.

*After all, my reaction to Jurassic Park was "Why recreate dinosaurs solely in order to make an amusement park? Just think of the omlettes!"

Did Great Cthulhu in this instance contain hand of Buddha citron by any chance?
