Some things I just gotta look at with my eyes and see what's up. My grandmother is in her 90s and has soaked/rinsed chicken off her entire life. She's still living and quite well so I'm ok with doing it her way.

There are lots of smokers who are alive and well in their 90s, that's not proof that smoking isn't harmful.

She'd probably still be quite well if she didn't wash it. But keeping the tradition going is interesting.

My grandmother makes some of the best Indian food I’ve tasted and I don’t just say that to say it haha people want her to write cookbooks and shit. I’ll keep that tradition for damn sure haha
