Hi everyone im a student in college at the university of
wisconsin-madison and i was wondering if anyone had any fun recipes for
me to cook. I wanted to make a good pasta and chicken dish that
wouldn't take too much time or cost too much money to make. Any ideas?

Not any more. At least from what *I've* seen in recent years.
Spelling doesn't seem to matter, either.

Six racks of St. Louis trimmed spare ribs are about 4 hours into the
smoke. The rib tips were great, and mostly are gone. A CAB brisket
flat will be going on @ about 6PM.

For some reason, I don't ever make chicken and pasta dishes. I know.
Weird. Try Googling for recipes for:

Chicken Tetrazinni (I probably spelled it wrong)
Chicken Cacciatore
Chicken Fettuccini

To save money, simmer either a whole chicken or chicken thighs
(whichever is cheaper per pound) until the meat is tender, then remove
it from the bones. Also get rid of the skin, fat, cartilage, and
other ickies. The broth can be used in some of the recipes, or you
can just drink it.

I was going to say that, but you beat me to it. LOL Doesn't speak

Cut her a break! It's hard to tap out capital letters
with one hand. On a cellphone. While driving. :-)

Are we talking fresh or dried pasta? In either case which styles of pasta?
Do you have ready access to squid ink? Do you have a pasta machine? Access
to a oven or stove? Or are we talking just sauces for Kraft Dinner?

I truly believe the problem has to do with chat rooms and text messaging.
It's so much more simple to skip the caps, skip the punctuation and even
skip the word itself, i.e. why bother to type "you" when you can just type
"u"? Can't wait to see what they do when they go to work in a business
setting and have to send email to the boss...

Don't hold your breath. This situation is not improving.

A friend of mine taught a college course called "Research Methods" for
juniors. The friend had just arrived in this country a year earlier from
Puerto Rico, at the age of 23. Except for the occasional slip-up, like
saying "floor" instead of "ground", her English was magnificent. 1/3 of her
students rote so baddlee she tole them cleen it up or flunk the course. All
the students were from NY State, born and raised here. She flunked 9 of
them. I saw the papers they submitted. It was completely impossible to
figure out what they were trying to say.

My friend started taking English in her junior year of high school and
continued in college (in PR). She decided the classes were boring, so she
began watching English children's TV, like Sesame Street, and others where
the it seemed the language was closest to "proper English". She videotaped
some of them so she could pause the programs and compare what she was
hearing to what was in her textbooks. It worked.

Hello! We need to know what your cooking facilities and equipment are
before offering any real advice. Do you live in an apartment or a dorm? Do
you have a stove or would you be cooking on a hot plate? What sort of pots
& pans and other kitchen equipment (such as a strainer for the pasta) do you
have available? It really doesn't take much, just a few basic kitchen
items.

I audited a literature class at the local state university some years
ago. The professor was over 60 years old. She was a stickler for
detail, as she should be, on the papers turned in on for a grade. In
the email that she sent to the class, she didn't bother to correct her
own typos, capitalize or, in most cases, to punctuate. Apparently she
thought that writing in a way that makes it easy for the reader to read
was a matter of respect that only went in one direction.


I quit a religious group after I begged the person in charge of
communications to use ordinary capitalization and punctuation in her
email. Addresses were particularly the worst. I'd spend ages trying to
figure out what was meant. It wasn't worth it.


The disease is spreading. I can't see that it has anything to do with
the young or those attending college.

My son complained about his AP English teacher because he felt surrounded.
He got the screws put to him at home, and then got it again from this
teacher. But now, even his worst writing is better than some adults, like
the ones you've described. It's just a habit that you learn, like riding a
bike.

I spent 10 online with AOL, much of that time in chat rooms and
instant messages, ::hanging my head in shame:: but I'm feeling much
better now. During that time I tried to maintain my grammar
"skills," or lack thereof, by using proper language as I remember it
from my high school days. I do use lot of acronyms in my online
writing, but words like "you" and "for" still get typed out. I've
never been into text messaging or anything that uses an abbreviated
keyboard, so that might be my saving salvation. It's going to be hard
for this new generation of kids to deal with the real, corporate world
.. . . unless the new, young management changes things to do it their
way. IMHO LOL

AOL! r u kidding me? I use acronyms too, and I started out with AOL chat
and Prodigy chat in the 1980's. But I didn't fall into this awful habit.
Hopefully new, young management will still have older management to deal
with, at least for the next decade

U of Wis is well known on another ng because a certain professor
requires them to participate in a usenet group for "x" amount of time.
I didn't know they had a choice of topics.

Is this where the topic "Does anyone have any recipes from Europe?"
originates? (I haven't seen that one for a while!)

I don't usuallly respond to such vague inquiries but I don't see
anything cooking-related in all this kvetching about how the world is
going to an ungrammatical, uncapitalized, misspelled hell. So here's a
chicken dish, and three reasons to try it. First, it tastes quite
good. Second, you can make it the day before and it will be even
better the next day. Third, later learning the original version of the
recipe instead of this simplified one could get you more interested in
cooking. Oh, as to pasta -- serve this with boiled wide noodles like
fettucine.

It's a chicken stew in red wine, a simplified version of Coq au Vin.

Fry 4 strips of bacon and remove them to a paper towel.
Brown 2.5 - 3 lbs. of chicken thighs, or a large cut up chicken in the
bacon
fat. Remove.
Saute a large sliced onion in the same pan until just barely beginning
to
color. Add some sliced mushrooms and cook for a minute or two. Or add
canned mushrooms if that's all you have. Turn the heat down to a
medium low
setting.
Add back the chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and thyme. Crumble
the
bacon and add it.
Now pour in about a cup of beef stock/broth and about a cup of hearty
red
wine.
Cover and simmer very gently for about 40 minutes. Stir in a generous
amount of chopped parsley in the last five minutes.
If you make it well ahead, which is recommended, you can chill it in
the
fridge. This seems not only to blend the flavors but lets the fat come
to
the surface and congeal, making it easy to remove. Then just reheat it
on
the top of the stove. Be sure to check whether it needs more salt and
pepper.

Someone made suggestions, but I decided melissa wasn't serious
when she didn't respond to any queries about what type of
oven, stove, microwave, whatever she has available. I already
had trouble taking it seriously the way it was typed.

Nancy can't respond right now. She's out digging a new hole for the
outhouse (out house). They're pretty yuppified, though. They have a

Oh, no, I haven't had a two seater since the time the
flashlight fell into the second hole. And I'm not lying.

Yes, rotary phones will work on touchtone phone lines. I have an old
rotary phone I keep as a spare. (Teenage daughter hates it. I tell her
it's "retro")

Chicken thighs are very inexpensive and flavorful. I like to take a
package of chicken thighs and make a simplified version of chicken
cachatory out of them.

Just rinse four good size chicken thighs under running water to clean
them. Then dry them on some paper towels. Take a hot non-stick pan and
add a capful or two of olive oil and spread the oil over the surface of
the pan. Then add the chicken thighs and cook them over medium heat for
about ten minutes per side until the skin is golden brown.

Sprinkle some garlic powder and fresh ground pepper over the chicken
thighs on both sides, pour enough tomato sauce over the thighs to cover
them, then cover the pan with a tight lid and cook for about ten minutes
over low heat. Flip the thighs over, spoon some of the sauce over the
chicken, and cover the pan again and cook gently for another ten minutes.

While you're doing this, boil up some of your favorite pasta or just
make some plain white steamed rice. Serve the chicken over the rice or
pasta with some of the sauce.

To make this a bit more satisfying, slice up some mushrooms, green
peppers, and onions, then saute them in the pan before you add the
chicken. Just saute the vegies for a minute or two in some olive oil,
then set them aside until the last ten minutes of time and cook them in
with the chicken and tomato sauce.

This works great and it goes well with a green salad, plus you get
enough food for at least two meals.

I retrieved my chicken cookbook thinking it will have
something for her. So far I'm glad I didn't put more effort
into it than that.

I agree.

I send text messages to my boss using abbreviated chat format -- not
extreme, but things like "thru" and "BRB" and sloppy capitalization.

I took the lead from him. Yes, he is older than me (not much older.)

To the original poster, I recommend learning how to cut up a chicken.
It's not fun, but it is satisfying to be able to do it, and it'll save
you a bunch of money. If you can't do that, buy turkey legs and braise
them (cook slowly in a covered skillet with just a little bit of water
and chopped onion and maybe a carrot.) When they fall apart, pick the
meat off and use it any number of ways.

Best regards,
Bob

Do you have the e-mail address for that professor?
I certainly don't want to encourage mass action
against that guy or his university ISP. Unless
he breathes the wrong way or something. :-)

I sure hope not. But I guess that would give Nancy an excuse to call
Ron a shit-head.
