My wife wants one thing, I want the opposite (food related)

I agree! The title is such a disconnect.

Where’s the disconnect? She wants to eat thawed chicken and he wants to eat frozen chicken. Seems quite the opposite to me.

Dude, a regular old fryer is like what… 3-6 bucks at the store, depending on sale prices? A roaster isn’t much more than that. Go buy more if you want to. Learn how to cook them yourself - that fair can’t be the only place on earth that they cook them like that. We even have a mesquite fired chicken rotisserie restaurant chain here in Dallas, which sounds similar. It’s like halfway between a gas-fired Boston Market chicken and a slow cooked smoked chicken.

Unless you’re just completely broke, don’t sweat such small stuff. It’s not worth the likely consequences to your relationship.

He wanted her to only defrost 1 and save 1, she defrosted both. That is the opposite of what he instructed.

He hasn’t posted since the 28th.

How do you think the fight went?

Is Superhal sleeping with the chickens?

Well, apparently, these chickens are his favorite food of all time. One might wonder what a StoneButt like her might do to them besides thaw them against his will??

:smiley:

I thought that was Zalman King… :eek: :smiley:

Damn, this pisses me off just reading about it. I’d say that that it’s worth beating someone to death with a frozen chicken then serving it to the investigating detectives.

Short story, you heathen!

ETA: Okay, fine, both (which I knew from the start). I just think it’s a big insult to Dahl to think of his story as only an episode of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” no matter how much I respect Hitch’s art. :slight_smile:

Wow. I posted my reply before reading all the posts. Why am I surprised that story was already mentioned?

Same here. Dahl’s short stories are all so wonderfully evil. (And of course, his better known children’s lit is as well.) Hmmm. Feeling inspired to dig out my copy of Switch Bitch!

Unless you want to fight. Then take your complaint to a message board and see how many people agree with you. If everyone agrees, you can use that as ammunition. If no one does, then just ignore it.

I was impressed initially, reading where the OP stated “I can save the other one for a special occasion”, meaning it sounded like the chickens were frozen plain old chickens (not special-already-cooked-from-the-fair). And that he had plans to cook that other chicken himself, someday, on that special occasion. Should I have to leave town for six months, and left a frozen chicken in the freezer, the chicken-eater I live would open the freezer door every night, stare at it, close the door, and live on bags of Doritos, boxes of Ho-Hos, and an occasional pizza delivery.

His chicken’s Superhal-ifragiliciousexpialolicious.

He likes to diss his poop-bird wife but doesn’t think he’s vicious.

All you who stalk him thread to thread are Feminazi witches!

(He had a chance to join the mob so comply or sleep with fishes!)

Um-diddle-liddle-liddle, um diddle-lie, um-diddle-liddle-liddle, um diddle-lie!

Is the chicken-eater you live with self-sacrificing, or just lazy? :smiley:

:smiley: The chicken-eater I live with would do the exact same thing.

Oh, definitely lazy! Not to mention clueless about cooking anything. When he was single, living in an apartment complex, we planned a barbeque with some friends out in the back. I went over, and they said they sent him to the grocery store across the street to buy chicken. I went over there to find him in the store hefting a FROZEN TURKEY into the cart. Because the chicken section was ‘too confusing’ and he figured a whole frozen turkey would do for all of us.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Bumping this so Superhal will see it. I see your recent posts. We know you’re out there. Answer soon or your goose will be cooked!

He’s made it pretty clear that he doesn’t have a good answer.
