“Can I used trinity when baking chicken?”
My first thought was of Jesus, his dad, and the pale guy. My second thought was John Lithgow’s serial killer character from _Dexter_. My third thought was of the above-ground nuclear weapon test. _None_ of those would be a great for chicken baking.

I bet you rarely cook Cajun or Creole food. I had a couple milliseconds of double-take, but that was it.
Had the title read “Can I bake chicken including some trinity”, the food prep context would’ve been set before encountering the term of art.
So yeah, that was a dumbly written contextless stream-of-consciousness title. But had all the ingredients (ha 😉 ) to assemble a correct understanding.

There’s a Chicken Kiev (from the Chernobyl days) joke in there somewhere.

My first thought was that her machine gun might get hot enough to do the trick.

[Any current suggestions for a new EV?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-current-suggestions-for-a-new-ev/1022953/6)
Really, if you aren’t driving huge distances in a day 15 amps is probably good enough, but if you happen to have a 30 amp outlet in your garage you might as well use that. 50 amps might be nice to have but isn’t really necessary for most people.
(Yes, I know for a sustained load you actually need to limit it to something less than the full current rating. The above post is intended as a joke and not actual EV charging advice)

I don’t like to nuke my chicken.

Every time the thread title [The Trump deportation news thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-deportation-news-thread/1013404) comes up on the SDMB front page I get a small pleasant shock, then I drop back to grim reality.

[Stupid Trash Policies And Their Unintended Consequences](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-trash-policies-and-their-unintended-consequences/1023181)
Well, we already have the SRIOTD and How Has Trump Pissed You Off Today thread, so this seems redundant. They rarely have policies that _aren’t_ trash.

> This is a pointless observation I’ve made (others have too, probably) which I think could be just the thing for the SDMB. The ISO currency code for the Russian ruble is RUB. This looks unimpressive until you realise that the first two letters in an ISO currency code always represent the country, and the third letter is then for the currency. So the RU in RUB doesn’t stand for ruble, it stands for Russia. It just happens to work out, by a fortunate coincidence, that these letters are also the fi…
…to see why its OP was in search of currency codes.

Likewise with [Unintended Consequences From $100k Visas?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unintended-consequences-from-100k-visas/1023317/5)
Maybe Elon Musk has a credit card with a credit limit that big.

$100k credit limits are not the province of trillionaires.
I have no doubt several Dopers have such a card.

When I read [talk to me about transplanting iris and daylilies](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-to-me-about-transplanting-iris-and-daylilies/1023333) I thought about eye transplants and was wondering what organ a daylilie might be. Got me thinking about transplanting pupils, which are a thing that is not there, a hole where the iris is not, and whether they could be transplanted at all, philosophically speaking. And from pupils I got to teachers, which are much easier to transplant, and then…
I opened the thread, and was very disapointed.

I’d like to order one of whatever you’ve been drinking. 😉
More seriously, those branching adventures off differing meanings of words can be so fun.
So what body part _is_ the daylilly?

I find the drum solos boring, and I prefer Amercone Dream to Cherry Garcia.
