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).

Notes -
I did not parboil, in fact, the brats were from frozen. I will have to try the par boil. The onions part of that sounds good, and it makes me wonder if the Oktoberfest brats that I love so much were created with a method similar to this, as some of them had great onions.
There's clearly a lot of benefits to charcoal. I like that they're generally more portable with less moving parts and are significantly cheaper. Generally, I want to emulate the American Dream by grilling away from my wooden porch on some grass. Also charcoal can get a lot hotter. Apparently that's the best way to do wok cooking if you don't have a proper wok burner like a restaurant would. Maybe the best way to do pizza if your oven doesn't like to get up past 500 degrees. Also you get to play with fire, which does a lot for morale.
