The only thing that happens is that it can take a very long time for the graphics to load up after I clear my cache, but it seems to be better now. I will let you know if it happens again.
You should be able to substitute very well in any recipe with vanilla in it. The vanilla will help to disguise the fact that it isn’t chocolate. Some people actually prefer carob, though.
I’m sure you will enjoy it here!
As far as chicken goes, the way to keep the white meat (especially breasts) moist is to be very careful to not overcook them. Even slight overcooking will dry out white meat. I can’t give you bbq tips, but I do know this much.
As far as skin and bones go, it’s a matter of preference. The skin and the bones will provide some protection for the meat, and the skin has a lot of fat in it that will melt down into the meat and keep it a little moister. They also add flavor. You can do just as well with boneless, skinless chicken, but the extra flavor will not be there and you will need to watch it a little closer.
In my experience, most men pick up the art of barbecuing very quickly. For some reason or other, they just seem to be better at it than most women. We tend to excel in the kitchen, but they tend to do better on the grill. Give your husband a little time, and I’ll bet he’ll learn it!
I think she is wanting it for an avatar. She loves purple. If Raylene had her way EVERYTHING would be purple! She prefers the purple that is more blue than red. She is wanting a granny with lavender hair and a purple dress. I found 2 that she loves, but the colors are wrong. If anyone is good at this stuff I can send you the one she has selected to change the colors for her. Just let me know where to send it.
I am using the first link on the list, and I’ve never had any trouble accessing the board (except for general trouble when something else was wrong). I certainly hope you find out what the trouble is.
You are very welcome. By the way, I forgot to mention in the story: During that wonderful two years, Paul and I also used to cook together, and we had a lot of fun doing it! Up until he met me, he never knew he could cook.
Does anybody know how to make Raylene the granny with the purple hair? I don’t do those things and she keeps bugging me about it! Actually, I promised her I’d ask around and I keep forgetting. So now I’m asking: Can anybody help her out? You have no idea how happy it would make her!
