hot oil

The speaker recounts an incident while cooking chicken where hot oil splashed, nearly causing them to lose an eye. This experience, while painful, led to a newfound appreciation for their sight and a humorous acceptance of a potential scar. They learned a valuable cooking lesson: gently place chicken into hot oil rather than dropping it. They also emphasized the importance of cutting chicken thinly for even cooking, drawing a comparison to their positive experience cooking steak on a stainless steel pan. The speaker briefly touches on a thought about chickens being a source of cold viruses, but quickly shifts to their main story. The main narrative revolves around a recent wedding trip that began with an unusual plane ride. The speaker, who enjoys attending weddings, describes a lengthy conversation with a fellow passenger. Initially, the speaker found it difficult to recognize when the man was drunk, attributing this to their general non-judgmental nature. The man, who identified himself as "D," was highly extroverted and spoke extensively about his outdoor activities and past experiences, particularly in Utah.
