this little piggy

I got tears in my eyes for the first time during a demo tonight. Chef was frying pork cutlets and it just seemed so perfect. The crispy, golden coating on the pork somehow called out to the deepest parts of my soul, I just wanted to eat it. My mouth was watering, my eyes were welling up, and my lips turned upwards into a smile. Breaded pork cutlets are like food nirvana. They are an enlightenment of the most simple kind. It is crazy that pork, salt, pepper, flour, egg, freshly ground up white bread, and chicken fat can make something so magnificent. There are no fancy ingredients and no special tricks, just pan fry the pork and eat it. It's pure bliss.
