everything tastes of porridge

No matter how lost one gets in fantasy, the reality of day-to-day life (here represented by "porridge") is always present and cannot be ignored. Just remember, future Broadway star, that everything tastes of porridge. My grandmother always reminded me that "everything tastes of porridge," so I would stay humble. I can fantasize all day about accepting an Academy Award, but there's always a crying baby to snap me out of it. Truly, everything tastes of porridge.
