I love the use of the phrase ‘some strange alchemy’ as a descriptor for a process you don’t understand.
'Through some strange alchemy(crochet) they turned a bundle of yarn into a stuffed giraffe’
'Through some strange alchemy(bad cooking) they turned a perfectly marinated steak into a charcoal briquet’
'Through some strange alchemy(good cooking) they turned a pile of slop into the fluffiest bread loaf I’d ever seen’
'Through some strange alchemy(bad reading comprehension) they took my polite statement and turned into a disgusting act against the poor’
and so on
