Try more salt and cooking it the 8 minutes and see. Then when you come in Sept. we can buy you a bunch of it. That chicken can be your chicken! Use you shears to cut along one side of the back bone, and then spread the chicken a bit cut side down and whack it with a heavy pot or cutting board. Tuck the wings and the legs and proceed as if you were here. It is a quite small chicken. Just cook it late or very early so you won't get hot. Well, it is more instant.

Maybe it is the sweet/sour/spicy dressing, but wow! BTW, I would never have guessed how very good cherries and onions taste together! Maybe it is the sweet/sour/spicy dressing, but wow!

When I opened the box it had little lumps ... pellets ... something of white stuff. I gingerly poked at one and it burst open. It looks kinda like corn starch. But it can't be because that's not listed on the label. So I don't know what it is but it just didn't taste quite the same. I am thinking of going back down to the food thingy and going to Litteri's this time. They might have the original polenta and Pocket Coffees(!). Their website is really not very informative. My word this time is roella. Sounds like some kind of exotic dessert. I cooked it just the same but not as good.

This may have something to do with the fact that I've being thinking about Nutella. Maybe a swiss roll with Nutella inside? Like maybe a buttery or, better, a caramely or toffee-y cake with crunchy bits of hazelnut brittle in it? Well, that’s not an exotic dessert!

Chocolate sponge with chocolate butter cream, Between the layers are crunches of toffee in the buttercream and on top shards of it sticking up like on top of a wall. Cruel to be kind. I just found out it isn't Saturday. I feel like I get to live another extra day of life. Or my Tuscan Wall Cake.

It often won't even allow an email to be shown when I click on it. Somebosy who write stilted Engliah said they will apply the ZA brains to my problem within 48-72 working hours. Isn't that like 2 weeks? It now doesn't recognize me here, either. The mouse is being overly sensitive for a stinky rodent, but I suspect Zone Alarm.
