It’s unlikely that a toaster would be able to produce even remotely enough eat to make this worth your while.

TBF he looks pretty depressed about it so perhaps he regrets it now

Being abandoned into a world that processes its relationship drama for profit by playing it 24/7 in all public areas

Sometimes I wonder how many millennials have attachment disorders simply because we grew up with this song being pretty much inescapable for almost a decade.

Like, yeah, she’s talented but has anyone ever studied what it does to a young mind when you grow up in a culture that blasts its relationship drama in song format 24/7 everywhere from the car radio to the supermarket, followed by The Offspring’s The Kids Aren’t Alright and Linkin Park’s Crawling?

In chronological order, it reads like a descent into madness if you ask me.

Like I said, the premise is solid, but don't get your hopes up too high, because it just sort of ends up haphazardly petering out without even being able to decide on a clear message.

Decided to watch American Fiction today, because it was advertised on Amazon Prime and the trailer seemed interesting enough. Also, apparently it won an Oscar this year for best screenplay adaption. Basically, the protagonist is a black author (and professor of literature) who is frustrated because his ambitious and highbrow novels aren't selling too well, because literary critics seem to prefer more "ghetto" style stories that lean heavily on black stereotypes and ebonics as being a more authentic representation of the black experience. After getting hit with some unexpected bills, he breaks down and decides to write his own ghetto novel, with plenty of violence, crime, and gratuitous expletives, and releases it under an alias. The critics end up loving it and pretty soon he is getting inundated with interview requests and movie deals while having to lead a double life as a gangster turned novelist so as to not break his cover.

Long story short, while I definitely enjoyed the premise, the movie turned out to be rather long-winded and boring, with lots of semi-relevant side stories that ultimately didn't go anywhere, while teetering erratically between the same two extremes the author finds himself caught up in, and it doesn't really have much of a satisfying ending either. Best I can say is there was an attempt to make a black American Beauty, but it ultimately lacked conviction and panache.

Yeah, American lasagna is slightly different in that regard. Perhaps they burned the béchamel one too many times.

Also, I'll pass on the curry bolognese. I might be convinced to give this one a try, however.

Closest I could find is this:

EDIT: apparently this is a thing as well:

And used by criminals.

Now that's an interesting plot twist

The cloud hadn't even been invented back then. It was all nonstop sunshine 24/7 so you had to close Windows from time to time in order to get any sleep.

Does the curry powder go in the bolognese or the béchamel?

Probably doesn't matter, sounds like a crime either way. Curried béchamel would probably even be kinda good, but I wouldn't pair it with bolognese.
