Hoo boy, this is turning into a whining about
health echo, and I am the prime culprit, I admit.

being a prerequisite part, but in the eyes of
the beholder, as it were. As of this year, women
make up more than half of med school students in
the US.

So there could be jobs for cute young male pharma reps, too... ;)

For sure; and one bears in mind that not all doctors
are straight, as well.

True... which only makes the problem of pharma reps influence on drug prescription larger, not less...

Making the drug companies' job a little harder,
because whoever assigns the territories has to
gauge the degree of oddity of each market. It might
be necessary to double the number of reps, or else
get ones who can flirt either way ... so like the
joke we told as kids when we wanted to feel racy -
what's so great about swinging both ways? Doubles
your chance for a date on Saturday night.

One does have to return inside sooner or later.

And she'd smell it on your breath and clothes....? ;)

Yes - if I spend enough time out grilling, all
other smells will be obscured.

You'd have to be grilling other, more-to-her-taste, goodies as well
then, to obscure the smell differently.... ;)

Well, of course; and I almost always grill
beef, with the occasional pork cut thrown in.
I did find a terrible secret in the bottom of
her freezer - a whole big block of frozen
chicken thighs, months and months and months
old. What other secrets are in store for me?

Nope. Asparagus is still considered too
expensive by most restaurants, even when
it's not.

Not that that sort of thing stops them when it comes to truffles... ;)

Truffles add to the profit margin in a way
that vegetable-of-the-day doesn't. If one
puts truffle oil in a dish, that will justify
adding a buck or two to the price; actual
shaved truffles, even bad ones, many dollars.
Add foie gras and truffles, double the price.
I'll pay the premium for foie gras, but truffles
are seldom worth it - not that I dislike them,
but it's really difficult to get good ones of
the proper species (melanosporum) - I have not
had them in the US in 30 years (other than what I
brought back myself) and seldom even in Europe.

Title: DELI IN A SKILLET
M suggests that the recipe should call for Minute Rice.

Maybe that was the only rice that the source author knew about....? ;)

People like that shouldn't be allowed to write
recipes.

And who's to stop them....? ;)

Back in the olden days there was this concept
of the Marketplace of Ideas, where truth would
be trusted to eventually supplant truthiness,
but now the latter proliferates at lightning
speed, so it's been largely replaced by Gresham's
law, where good gets squeezed out by faulty. Some
of us will do our hour a day trying to put out
interesting true stuff and to stamp out crap, but
it can be hard at times and gets some resistance.

Fruity Chicken
categories: KfP, main, poultry
servings: 8

2 raw chickens, serving pieces
2 md onions
2 lemons, juice of
1 orange, juice of
1 grapefruit (opt), juice of
3 Tb water
1 ts salt

Place chickens in pan or Dutch oven. Dice onions and
sprinkle over chicken. Squeeze fruit juices and mix
together. Add water and salt and pour over chickens.

Bake at 350F for 2 hr. If cooking on top of stove,
bring to boil and lower flame to simmer for 1 1/2 hr.

M would halve the salt and halve the lemon juice (or
perhaps even omit) if using grapefrult.
