And I literally mean a rain<\/strong><\/em> check – by the time I left Kooky, it was pouring outside.\u00a0 Thank goodness Cockadoos is only about 50 feet down the street.\u00a0 I made the dash down there.<\/p>\n

My original plan for Cockadoos was to try an experiment.\u00a0 I have some Chinese mustard and soy sauce packets at home, left over from a visit to Wang’s.\u00a0 I was going to order two of Cockadoos’ country ham biscuit sandwiches to go, and take them home and experiment with Chinese mustard and soy sauce as condiments.<\/p>\n

However, I wasn’t interested in walking home in the rain, so I decided to dine in.\u00a0 I ordered the hash browns ($2.99) with added toppings of cheese, bacon, and mushrooms for 50 cents each extra.\u00a0 I wasn’t expecting much.\u00a0 “It’ll probably come with a few sprinkles of cheese and a few bacon bits,” I thought, “but at this point, I just need food in my stomach.”<\/p>\n

This is what came out:<\/p>\n
