[Sca-cooks] catching drippings

[Susan Fox-Davis]

I wonder how the drippings get distributed over the whole pan of pastry 
rather than pooling in the middle, where the chicken in hanging.  Maybe 
we shouldn't pack down the qata'if shreds too firmly, so the juices can 
run throughout the pan?

Naw. My little brother was the same way. Nothing with any kind of 
"sauce," not even ketchup.  No Chinese, Italian or any kind of "foreign" 
food.  No fish.No cheese.  Not even poultry until about age 10, the 
early Thanksgivings were humiliating.  Pretty much only hotdogs, salami 
and plain-ish breakfast cereals.  He really surprised us when, at age 
40, he began eating stuff like pizza which he would never touch before. 
 Some people take longer to "grow up" than others.  I think it was the 
influence of his former girlfriend, I'm rather sorry he broke up with 
her, I really liked this one.  

One thing he's begun is to bring a new date a loaf of home-baked bread 
instead of a bunch of flowers.  Nobody else seems to remember that the 
way to a =woman's= heart is through the stomach too!

I'd be interested in Adamantius' pizza recipe, if he's giving.
