Annoying things about posts

The problem with many of your posts is that when you change the subject, it starts a new thread on many people's newsreader. You never seem to properly attribute the text you quoted, and all too often you don't include enough of the previous text to properly put your new post in the correct context. That was about as civilized of a reponse as I can possibly muster. I expect that your reaction would be for me to go screw myself, as you don't seem to care about fixing the problem. >Now, can we stop the "criticize Sylvia" nonsense and get back to >discussing cooking? Besides myself, I've seen two other poeple comment on your posting style - and those responses were fairly polite. You shouldn't be so pig-headed and get all indignant about it. -sw |

To me, > that's good since it's lets me define the flavors myself. I don't know where you get this. I season the skin with salt and pepper, bake it, and it comes out delicious. Are there other mild-flavored foods which you are unable to taste? Do you smoke a lot of cigarettes? Maybe you have a neurological condition? A sinus condition? Do you think that water has no taste? -- ....I'm an air-conditioned gypsy... - The Who |

I must say my DH has noticed regional differences in flavor, but the chickens we've had in DC (closest to you) were ok. The worst chickens we had were purchased in San Jose, the best in Indianapolis straight from an Amish farmer. DH prefers dark meat - more flavor - so that may be an issue as well. We always season with lots of garlic and herbs, and ususally a little chili powder for color/flavor. Sorry you've had such bad luck with chickens. -L. |

I don't dislike 'em, just think that they don't have very much flavor. Yeah, I agree that they're edible if flavored up enough.

Probably ought to change the thread now to "why eat chicken?" <G> I do because it is a cheap source of healthy protein, and a good blank slate for tons and tons of recipes. I don't use a lot of breast, but instead buy the boneless skinless thighs for most recipes and just buy drumsticks or hindquarters, or even wings sometimes for plain ol' pan fried chicken! I start out with a little olive oil, bring the oil up to heat then plop in the chicken pieces, and spice with garlic powder, onion powder, LOTS of salt free lemon pepper, and other herbs depending on my mood such as rosemary, Thyme, sage, and/or basil, often fresh from the herb garden. My dad eats it up. ;-) He is 71 and lives with me and I do the majority of the cooking as he admits that I am better at it. <G> I serve fresh steamed or raw veggies on the side, and some fresh fruit. No starch except the occasional 1/2 ear of fresh corn on the cob. I'd say that at least 1/2 to 3/4 of our daily protein comes from chicken cooked in various ways. Next would be eggs, (from our own hens) then beef, fish, pork and turkey. C. |

I just >understand why they're so ultra popular. <shrugs shoulders> There are a million recipes for chicken -- whole & parts. They're relatively cheap. They're *available* everywhere. Parts can be cooked in a few minutes. For many concerned about problems associated with "red meat" you got y'r chicken, y'r turkey, and y'r fish. Those are some of the reasons chicken is "ultra popular." |

> The problem with many of your posts is that when you change the
subject, it starts a new thread on many people's newsreader. And this is a problem why? IAC, that is the reader's problem, not mine. Just as the things that other people do which annoy me are my problem, not the poster's. If I had jumped in telling other people how they should post, many if not most of the people here criticizing me would no doubt have objected forcefully. Yet several people feel free to tell me to change my posting habits, when I'm courteously trying to keep the subject reflecting what the message actually contains, and minimizing quotes from previous messages both to avoid clutter and to help those who have to pay for their connection by the minute, and all I get is criticism. That isn't fair or appropriate. -- Sylvia Steiger RN, homeschooling mom since Nov 1995 http://www.SteigerFamily.com Cheyenne WY, USDA zone 5a, Sunset zone 1a Home of the Wyoming Wind Festival, January 1-December 31 Remove "removethis" from address to reply |

It just confuses the h*ll outta me. Chicken needs to be cooked with herbs and spices to bring out its flavor. Modern chicken is mildly flavored. The advantage to chicken vs. turkey is that chicken takes a lot less time to cook if you're cooking the bird whole or in parts, not fileted. |
