To Sing, to Laugh, to Dream

Oh yeah.

Here's me practicing my Cyrano speech at home.
The audio quality is bad, so bear with it.
I sound like a girl in it. Hahaha.

I bought a crepe 2 days ago.

I stood in line, told the person I wanted a caramel crepe and paid for it.
Minutes later, they started cooking the crepe by placing the mix on the electric pan.
(YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT KEEP YOU COOL?
ELECTRIC PAN!
I'm so cornilly punny. HAHA! Daaang, I'm a sad boy.)
It was a nice golden brown, and smelled really good.
As the person there lifted the bottle of caramel, I watched in anticipation.
A wave of disappointment overcame me when I heard the bottle sputter little blobs onto my crepe.
There was very little caramel left.

The lady said to her partner, "Wala na ba tayong caramel?"
She looked at their stock of things, and came up empty-handed.
Grabbing the almost empty bottle, she squeezed it for the little it had left.
And it was done, my crepe was peeled from the pan and rolled neatly.
I bit into it, and true enough, it was the most crisp crepe I've ever tasted.
It's just that it didn't have very much flavor to it.

Which brings me to my point:
Cafeteria products can be categorized on two axes.

First, almost no meal/sandwich/item has both good quality and quantity for its price.
It's one or the other.

Then there's preparation.
It either tastes good, or feels good.
Example: You may have nicely fried fries, which will taste bland,
or really oily fries that taste good.
(Explanation: More oil means more powder/ salt will stick on. ;D )

It's almost impossible for it to be both.
If it's about to happen, Murphy's law will strike and you they'll suddenly have no caramel left.
Hahaha.

I'm suddenly hungry now! Argh.

Part of my artificial replacement soul just died at the electric pan line. And it was a rental too. Argh.
