Hope you enjoyed. Natalie, Not sure on the fish smell, as I don't do fish in general. Could your apartment, perhaps, not smell like fish, but rather you have fish oils or smelly bits stuck in your nose? Have you tried snorting... hmm, baking soda, pixi sticks, crack, jello... to see if it clears it out? Well, maybe those aren't the best ideas... whatever. It sounds like an interesting cookbook. Central Market (Which is HEB) is not national, nor public, last I heard, so there are likely no plans of even going terribly regional. H.E. Butts was a Texan, and that's where it primarily (entirely?) is. And yes, that's really his name. Howard I think. Not Hugh. Be sure that when you're cooking your meat that it gets cooked thoroughly. The easiest way for a chicken breast is to cut it open and make sure it looks done... white, not bleedyoozy... thats supposedly 160F at the center if you wanna use a instant-read thermometer (good investment, btw) Pork is similar, but 180F to kill off the lysteria (which I haven't heard of a poisoning from pork in quite a while) Cooking is like chemistry, with less risk of blowing things up, and less expense of screwing up. If you can follow directions, its really not all that hard. Just annoying to spend an hour cooking then eat it alone in 10 minutes. Am I longer than the original post yet??? PB Glad i’m not there, Patty… Hope you enjoyed.

I usually hate cooking meat, but I think I could manage to throw some raw chicken into a dish... Hmm, that doesn’t sound too challenging.

I can't say I'm a wealth of information of meals in 15 minutes or less, but: I'm a fan of take boneless skinless chicken breasts, throw it in a pyrex with olive oil and lemon juice and some herbs, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Mix and match with vegetable and grain of your choice. Plain yes, but flexible and easy. And the fish smell? I had the same problem when I had defrosted the fish ontop of the dish drainer. Took me a little while to figure out there was fish juice lingering in the cavites. Of course that was AFTER I scrubbed the entire kitchen and even scrubbed part of the carpet. Grar.
