Romanos Macaroni Grill would have been closed by the time I got to Portland. For some strange reason they don't stay open all night long. Is there really no demand for chicken scalopini at 2am in the Maine Mall parkinglot? So, lamenting my lost chance at an authentic Italian style dinner served by state college drop-outs, i settled on Wendy's, because they "don't cut corners". A Jr bacon cheeseburger off the dollar menu is more than enough intestinal horror fest for one sitting, but I was feeling frisky, so I summoned a small fry. But low, dear reader, for next ye shall witness what hence cameth; exercising my American freedoms I took the French fries nd dumped them right into the corn oil based plastic box which contained the remaining week old Whole Foods kale chip crumbs and seasoning shake. And with the lid closed a hefty rattle I did make, sautéing, basting, improving the freedom fries into a delicious and healthful snack. Now, Imagine the pleasure of that!
