I'm not proud of myself, but this actually happened. I was making fried okra with dinner tonight. The deep fryer took longer to come up to temperature than I expected and I was starting to worry I wouldn't be able to pull it and serve at the same time as everything else. As fate would have it, all went well, but not before I had an anxious moment. "And so by the time the oil was ready," I explained to my wife, "the cook time for the okra was exactly the amount left for the pork chops. So everything worked out perfectly." Then my brain did its braining thing. "And it didn't even cost me anything," I added. "I guess you could say I got an okra win, free." She rolled her eyes and left the kitchen without a word.
