8 Wonton + 2 Bratwurst = Completely Stuffed

Culinary lesson of the day: always use fresh vegetables and never, ever pour spent oil into boiled soup. It's a terrible idea.
In other news, Bizet's Carmen is stuck in my head again. The most prominent point this time is the habañera rhythm. Joy.
(Note to interested readers other than the author: that's the opening line of Debussy's La Soirée dans Grenade. The habañera, a generic dance rhythm, is the dotted semiquaver-semiquaver-quaver-quaver figure doing two perfect fifths a bar.)
