Iron Chef: Butter!
“Now I know why your mashed potatoes are so much better than mine, Jess. Look at all the butter you put in.”
“Have you even tasted them?”
“No, but. Look: butter!
“The amount of good something tastes is directly proportional to how much butter is used in cooking it.”
“I have this image of a TV cooking show competition, where the cameras are following the chefs closely the whole time as they carefully measure and chop. And then, in the last few seconds, one of them just throws a whole stick of butter into it, and the judges glance down to their clipboards and make a quick decision.”
Laughter
“You know, the funniest part of this is that you guys think this is funny.”

hmmm I don’t see the words hiking, or domesticated or beast anywhere.
Perhaps this isn’t the promised longerish (sic) entry.
Or now that the hiking trip is a month ago, has the post fallen into the “old news” category?

No, no. My account of the hike is still pending. I’ve just been busy, is all.
