[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Connie, doesn't seem like you did too much damage to your friendslist--I'm sure most people knew you well enough. Did you know either of those women that well?
No, I didn't. The second woman wasn't on my friends list, I think she came in on reference from the first woman. I am very gratified at the rest of my friends list.
The one comment about how I haven't written anything interesting in ages anyway to be very amusing, in any case.
I'm trying to figure out a baby gift for one of my friends
I like the fact that slightly creepy is a given for a baby gift.
I like the container that the fruits come in better than the crate that the vegetables come in. And I like the idea of the vegetable one, but I don't really like the mushroom -- if it had the eggplant instead of the mushroom, I'd get it. And for the fruit one, the grapes are kind of neat-looking.
The fruits are so very cute.
I vote for the fruits. The grapes won me over.

How does one cook chicken so that's moist and tender? Is the problem with using frozen chicken? My husband has tried several methods, and it always comes out more or less dry.
maybe try brining the chicken?
How does one cook chicken so that's moist and tender?
There are a lot of smothered recipes that work well with chicken.
I used to cook a big (cheap) batch of chicken thighs buried in salsa and it was yum. Or you can drench them in terriyaki. Or, you know, cream of mushroom soup. Also, breast meat tends to dry out more than other parts which I think are better (cf., thighs).
The fancy restaurant I used to go to that made great roasted chicken would pan fry the whole bird in hot oil first. I know that the whole "sealing in the juices" notion has been disproved but addding oil makes it juicier and tastier.
I've always found the crockpot a nice way to keep frozen chicken moist. Of course that's not very practical when you need supper in 45 minutes.
