Question: I have a splinter deep in the sole of my heel. So far no luck at all getting it out. It doesn't hurt unless I step just the right way. How long can I go before my foot turns green and falls off? Should I sterilize a needle and dig for it, or leave it be?
Emmett seems to have this problem too. JZ recommends long term soaking which will help the splinter force out. We haven't done that yet.
Excellent new, Tom. I want both your eyeballs in tip top shape.
The grill doesn't make the fat disappear, Jars. But it does drain it off nicely for sauce-making purposes.
I believe that your body will reject the splinter and it will eventually grow out, but you might not want to wait for that.
I just bought Actual Groceries for the first time in forever. Now I can make awesome turkey club wraps.

Definitely try soaking, flea!

Ah, okay. As a non red meat eater, the skin of the chicken is where i get most of my meat-enjoyment. And 'meat-enjoyment' isn't a phrase I'd use if I hadn't just got home from a free bar shindig thing. I hope.
I'd soak it in epsom(?) salt because it would clean the area as well
I have to say, I sure do love the photos on the A9.com -- I wanted to find the name of a deli on a particular corner, and it was right there! I could read the awning and everything.
Is there a problem with the grill and chicken skin? I cook skinless most often (without the grill) and rely on spices (often marinades) for flavour. But I'm curious.
Yay for the good news, tommyrot.
I will expect to repeat that same sentence in several days, except with ita's name at the end of it. (Which is an odd way of saying that I am pulling for your MRI to be of the good, too, ita)
The gravity/time/entropy discussions was twisty and cool.

to watch tonight, yay.
Oh, and if I dug a hole in my backyard, I'd end up in the ocean off the west coast of Australia. waves to billytea
If I recall, the splinter will either work its way out, or your body will absorb it or somesuch. Or, so someone told me and I, apparently, believed.
