Well, I disagree thoroughly. Hands might get the dough kneaded in time,
but I've never had a problem with any dough I've kneaed with the
Kitchen-Aid. Besides, after it has become a lump of dough, I don't have
as big of a problem handling it for some extra kneading at the end, if
necessary.

> what do you do if ever presented with having to bone a chicken...

I've never boned a chicken, nor have I ever messed with a whole chicken
that has all its organs intact. The closest I've come is washing and
preparing cornish game hens for Thanksgiving that had already been
hollowed out. I washed them, then stuffed them full of dressing for the
oven.

I can look at raw meat. I just don't like to touch it any more than
necessary to get it into its cooking position. Watching Julia Child go
after a cut of meat was like watching Friday the 13th.
