  0 0 Thanks. I decided to make them a blueberry pie instead, to introduce myself, haha... They don't seem like serial killers, so that's a start. Maybe when they return the dish, I'll try your suggestion. :) sharonc commented 4 months ago

  What's good, simple way to cook a bunch of chicken thighs? Chicken wings?

  0 0 This question brought back memories of college, when I also knew nothing about cooking, so this super-simple method really helped me get by. So simple, I'd hardly call it a "recipe". Salt and pepper them and lay them skin-side down into a hot, hot skillet. Once you get a nice brown on the skin (a couple minutes), turn them over, dump in a quantity of Italian Dressing (just enough to flow around the thighs about 1/4"), bring to a simmer, lower temp to LOW, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Not gourmet by any stretch, but great for those (like students) who don't want to be distracted by cooking and cleaning, and the dressing keeps everything moist and flavorful. Obviously, there are many kinds of dressings that could be used, and you'll find some to be too sour, so experiment, but you can hardly go wrong (don't use creamy varieties). sharonc answered in Cooking Tips & Tricks 5 months ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  0 0 Thanks so much for your generous advice! I've bookmarked the site (baby steps, haha) and will take a look tonight to locate what's closest to me. It's really helpful to get your description of what goes on during a meeting. I'm sure that once I go to one, it will seem like not such a big deal, with the mystery of it removed. sharonc commented 5 months ago

  0 0 Thanks. That's very heartening to hear about your friend. I imagine that I'll see people in AA that I will admire for having overcome what they have and for having the will to transform their lives. I hope I can follow suit! Do I want to change? That's a key question, I guess. I know that I need to change and that I badly want what will come with changing, but I do struggle with giving up this thing that has been with me for so long... And I struggle with the idea of not being able to be among all the fun-loving drinkers that I'm accustomed to. I suppose it's a matter of commitment to a new lifestyle, and figuring out how to be a fun-loving non-drinker, haha... Thanks for your thoughts! sharonc commented 5 months ago
