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).

Dude, grilling! I have been enlisted to grill this weekend for extended family. What a momentous occasion!
The original line of thought was that grandma wants ribeyes, and I have a portable charcoal grill (two of them, actually). Now I'm wondering which foods and how much I should make (and, potentially, if I want to start both grills (probably not)).
Now, the question is: is that too much food? I think we've got 6 people in total. The chicken will likely be three pounds, since that's the package size from Aldi. Pork chops, I thawed out 8 that are about as thick as my palm, so I'm estimating 4 or 5 pounds. Brats and ribeyes have not been purchased yet. Leftovers are okay.
Anyway, what are you grilling? What else should I be grilling? What are you drinking when you're grilling? I like Shock Top's Twisted Pretzel lately.
Ribeyes I go higher so the fat renders. Salt pepper worshirshire.
I love making veggie baskets. Lots of mushrooms, red onion, pablano, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, your choice of meat stick (kielbasa or some Latin American variant), oil and sazon seasoning. 5 minutes a side. You want some burnt and charred.
Portobello mushroom tops: oil, salt, pepper, top with feta, scallions, oil, salt, pepper - grill charcoal side for a few minutes then other side for ten or so.
Huge hits.
