The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Grilling. Do you grill? What do you grill? How do you grill? What are you grilling with? How often?
Recently I had an incident where I wanted to cook a meal at my grandmother's house, but for four people, I didn't see any way to make multiple pounds of nicely and uncontroversially roasted meat without using an oven. So now I want to learn charcoal grilling, but the Weber charcoal chimney is in the mail, so I must burn with passion regarding grilling quietly to myself. Charcoal grilling seems a lot better to me because it's a lot more unique than stovetop, offers unique flavors, offers variety like smoking meats, and has way less moving parts and the grills cost a lot less and they seem generally more portable. Also I hate running out of propane in the middle of a cook. I actually haven't used the propane grill much because it feels like a hassle compared to stovetop. So if it's a hassle either way, I might as well pick charcoal, is the way I see it.
Yes.
Let me get my translation guide... Usually a combination of Tenderloin, Ribeye, Short Rib, Flank, Skirt, Pork Rose Meat, black pudding and Chorizo, though I have dabbled in weirder cuts/meats.
You put the meat on the grill, turn it around and then serve it. The "hard" part of grilling is the logistics: knowing where to buy, knowing what the people you're grilling for like, and staggering so as to keep the cuts flowing in the "correct" order (sausages and thin cuts first, and then proceed to the meatier stuff).
Charcoal built grill, no shade to propane, it's just what I was raised with (also, running out of gas in the middle of grilling is truly a nightmare, though in reality making sure you have enough is probably easier than going out to buy charcoal bags every time), sometimes add wood for extra smokey flavour, sometimes do it only with wood for the spectacle.
About once a week.
