Wolfgang Puck's Garlic Chicken??

man that is GOOD

essentially (and this is 20 yrs old) stuff as many garlic cloves under
the skin as you can, rotisserie BBQ the chicken and ENJOY)

hint: wrapping the chicken with butchers string will let you put MORE
garlic cloves under the skin....... wrap AFTER you put the cloves in

She is the one who loves to cook, lol - dunno where she got that from.
Every evening meal is carefully thought out, not a few sausages or chops
thrown together with whatever vegetables are in the fridge. I can't live
like that, financially more than anything. I can do 4 meals for her one
sometimes, cost-wise. She gets shitty at me for searching out the cheap
chops and I admonish her for wasting money on every day meals Our
year together wasn't pretty, lol. I love a gourmet meal at home every so
often though.

Oh, and I like my chicken stirfry in strips, she likes hers in small
bite-sized pieces, she likes to "simmer" stir fry in a sauce for a while
for flavours to penetrate, I add sauce at the end, taking out some first
for people who don't like or shouldn't have sauces. We made a pact to
allow each other to cook our own way when it was out turn but she
couldn't help herself coming into the kitchen to look over my shoulder
and whine I also like to start to with a tidy kitchen and clean up as
I go, she will happily dive into a cluttered kitchen, use every pot, pan
and utensil then walk away from it all at the end of the cooking. But we
love each other, lol.

I like salmon, not sure about here but she loves fresh fish and they
have a boat which ensures fresh fish.

you only write what your stomach tells you to write, you should try listening to
yourself, even to the point of trying to understand others and especially how
your words seem to them. this will be a rather new emotion for you...we call it
empathy

why would an atheist question anything, especially what you eat?

no one gives a fig about what foods you like or find disgusting. what most find
appalling is that you have absolutely no realization that you act like a mad
dog. If you would just go to walmart and buy some manners, everyone would benefit

Jan. You might ask over on alt.food.barbecue. It's a bit rowdy at times
there, but the folks there do know how to cook and can be quite helpful.
Tell them I sent you. ;-) Ignore Kent, as he's a complete idiot!

What kind of smoker did yer daughter get? What kind of hardwoods do you
have available for smoke?

I buy those food service gloves from Costco. Too many years in food service
to not use them when mixing things like meat loaf etc.

Default Salmon on a Cedar Plank

i completely forgot this Barbie short cut

soak a Cedar plank for a few hours (i use a bucket & weights and aim for
12 hours)

place the oiled plank on the barbie, with the salmon on the OILED
side..... season to taste.......??? pesto? rosemary? garlic? lemon?
whatever you fancy

close the cover on the barbie and allow the salmon to cook, when the
'top' is showing white 'juice' time to flip the salmon

soon as the salmon is cooked, put the Cedar plank in a bucket of water,
so you can use it again

there are many "Salmon on Cedar BBQ" recipies on the net...... they will
tell your some variation of what i said above (garlic? oranges? thyme?
mango chutney?.... let your imagination go wild)

yup, i agree, Cheri

we have the vinyl gloves as hubby is allergic to the latex ones

doesn't matter, they are cheap, and one use disposable and VERY sanitary
compared to 'scrubbing your hands clean'

having said that, i remember the days before those gloves and being
ordered to poke the eggs and mix them into the meat.............. once i
got past that, everything was ok (dunno why, the eggs grossed me out the
most LOL)

I am enormously OCD but I have to grit my teeth in a family situation. I
had one year of OCD heaven when I moved to QLD as I had just Alex and
Jazz and it was so much easier to be comfortably OCD but now have 4
again and in a small house and it is very nerve wracking! Jazz is OCD
too but the docs say it is the autism. She shuts doors and drawers and
we now have a key hidden outside in case we are locked out while she is
inside. She also flicks the toilet roll off the holder, puts the air
freshener down on the floor then shuts the toilet door. She throws
things all over the floor of her bedroom floor (photos, slinkies and
other dangly toys, a microphone, an old cell phone etc). I pick up and
vacuum and the minute she gets home she has rooted out all the floor
goodies and tossed them all over again. She takes a wet tea towel into
her room and re wets it all day long and keeps it on a towel on the
floor for the most part, as it dries she holds it. I wash them every day
but when she is home, like she is now for summer holidays, she doesn't
like that. I find all the washing dragged out of the washing machine or
dryer while she searches for her tea towel and towel. She doesn't like
replacements, she wants the ones she has every day. Her hands from her
thumb tip down to her forefinger tip are red from holding and flicking
the wet tea towel.

arggh

duplicates? i can't think of any other solution

the magic 'change' at night when she's asleep?

ya, if she gets a fixation, she is going to be hard to redirect

i would say you like things 'just so' but i wouldn't move you to OCD levels

Can't duplicate the smell. So can't trick her. She has to agree with the
change and has on odd occasions

Cheri, Although this was specifically directed to Julie, I feel I must
weigh in.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic. At 17, I became an atheist. At 21, I
started studying oriental philosophies, Buddhism in particular. At 50,
while practicing Insight Meditation for 19 hours a day, with no breaks, at
a Cambodian Buddhist temple in Long Beach, CA, on the tenth day I underwent
an experience that was physical, mental and emotional, and cannot be
described, but only experienced. That was 26 years ago.

Thanks be to G-d, I am still a happy atheist. To quote the Bard, "It's a
whole lot EASIER to be an athiest [sic] than it is to be a religious person
of any kind." I take joy in Hanukkah and Christmas and am disgusted by
those whose aspiration is to blow themselves up in the hope of murdering
some innocent infidel.

Why would an atheist question anything? Good question, Mal.

Before I renounced Catholicism and the concept of a "God," I studied a
great deal. Not only Origin of Species, the history of the Primates,
comparative odontology, comparative embryology, etc, but also St. Thomas
Acquinas' "Apologetica" and the Torah.

Before pursuing the teaching of the Buddha, I studied the teachings of many
oriental philosophers, such as Confucius, Mencius and (to quote Rick Perry)
the other one. Much effort went into determining, "What was the basic
message of the Buddha?" The most popular school seems to be the Mahayana
(Greater Vessel) "we're all gonna die! Save everyone!!" Different in Korea,
China and Japan, where it gave rise to Zen. The other school, the Theravada
(Teaching of the Elders) struck me as being overlaid with less local
primitivisms.

The fundamental teaching of the Buddha can be summarized in three atheistic
concepts:

1. Life is replete with unsatisfactoriness.

2. Everything is subject to change.

3. The above two are universal in their application.

How simple is that?

The soapbox is empty.

You've gotten some good replies here, regarding wood. I'm really interested
in what kind of smoker she got. There was a banana bender named Peter Lucas
on a.f.b. I don't remember what kind of smoker he had. Maybe he moved to
Tassy.

I thought the 'it' referred to the diet, not to Julie.

I recently bought a pack of 12 in 3 colours. She uses red ones BTW. I
figured that I could rotate the 4 red ones. She accepted the first one
because, I have to admit, I lost the plot one day when she was really
badly behaved and cut up her old one in front of her. I felt really bad
for losing it and doing something so pathetic. She accepted the first
but hasn't touched the rest since, even though I slipped a new one into
her room on day 2. All her senses seem heightened and I am positive its
the smell she is looking for in her tea towel.

I clean up imaginary crumbs on the kitchen bench, I realign photos etc
hanging on walls, even in other people's houses! I count things like
holes in ceiling panels or in net curtaining. I keep my paperwork in
neat piles, all aligned with each other, I even straighten pamphlets and
business cards etc at shop/medical counters!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg

Have you ever seen a tv show called Monk?

Hi Julie.

Yes, you most certainly DO have "so many" food aversions!

I have been reading these groups for quite a few years, and you have
been active here as well. Several people have taken note of it, not
just me. I think you are probably in denial about it.

What is more, the expressions you use are extreme. Most people would
seldom refer to a food product as "disgusting". They might say they
don't care for it, or that it isn't something they like. The term
"disgusting" is reserved for things like dog poop and vomit and dead
things. The "Ewww" factor is not usually there. For you, there is a
definite strong aversion thing going on.
