Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a dish best served after washing your hands. And then washing them again. And then checking the oven three times to make sure you turned it off. And you’d probably better wash your hands after you check the oven. ---

OCD is a dish best served after thoroughly reseaching the proper portion size, correct serving platter with consideration given to the place the dish will be consumed because sometime a plain white dish does not provide the optimum visual appeal if consumed in baroque surroundings, and polish pottery sometimes contains lead so one must be careful not to poison the guest. Also check numerous sources to see if the dish should be baked, braised, flambe, broiled, slow roasted, smoked, grilled, seared, roughly chopped, pureed or maybe served with a sauce containing tropical, no savory herbs. Perhaps the salt should be a special type of salt that is harvested by Peruvian ant farmers that supplement their meager incomes with salt that they painstakingly augment by trudging up and down the burdonsome paths of life. These are the type of people that might benefit from assistance provided by a generous NGO or other aid organization. Then we may have to consider if the dish might be served on a bed of salt, or ice, or dry ice, but be careful when handling dry ice because if you touch it with bare hands it can cause blisters, which may be painful and require medical attention, be sure to list your allergies when receiving medical attention because a reaction to some medications might be worse than the cure. And don’t forget to serve the dish on teh left to be very correct in your service. Consider hiring a caterer, although that brings up some other issues… ---
