You really don't need to cut the "yellow stuff" (probably bits of fat) or the "white stuff" (probably bits of tendon or skin) off. There's nothing wrong with it. Remember, if you eat whole roast or fried chicken, all of that stuff is in the meat. In the breast, under the long, thin piece on the inside that separates from the rest of the breast easily, there is a tendon that sticks out from one side. It's not poisonous or nasty, but it can be tough. You can grab it with your thumbnail against the counter and push the meat away from it with the back of your knife, by holding the knife against your thumbnail, and sliding it away from you, while pressing hard on the knife against the cutting board. But again, it won't hurt you or anything, so it might not be worth the bother. The white "skin" is just a membrane that often occurs between muscles. It is harmless, and in chicken it shouldn't be tough once it is cooked. A similar membrane can be tough on some cuts of beef, pork or lamb, and if you are not long cooking the meat, it helps with tenderness to remove it. Never put anything hot in your fridge or freezer. Cool things to room temp before doing so. The residual warmth from hot items can reduce the quality and shelf life of other items. If you simply must put something in the fridge before it is completely cool, rearrange your fridge contents so that the top most shelf is bare (or contains non perishables that you like to keep cold, like sodas) and place the warm item on that shelf, covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap in which you have poked holes. Heat rises, and this should keep it from affecting other foods. But the heat needs to be able to escape the item quickly, hence the cloth or holes.

Tonight I put the pizza stone in the grill and baked Salmon with doctored up Costco Pesto sauce on top in an old deep dish pizza pan. Husband said it was the best I have ever made. It was served with Costco prepared couscous with an extra squeeze of half a lemon. Lunch was Costco prepared brushetta over Costco sliced demi baguettes, a little Costco crab dip and array of fresh fruit. Tomorrow will be leftovers from all the above. I think I will be shopping at Costco a lot during remodel and will cook up the large quantities of chicken breast packs on the grill, putting in zip locks and freezing. I will have lots of fresh veggies on hand as well as instant rice. Now that I know I can use my outside grill as an oven with the pizza stone in there I dont feel IÂll really be that limited and will even give casseroles a try using the already cooked chicken. I never had much counter space anyway so maybe this wonÂt be so bad.

I lay it on its side and cut with a sharp cleaver type of knife. Everything stated above is good but I once tried it cubed then added to a stir fry dish. Excellent! Throw the seeds in your compost pile and when you use that compost you'll have LOTS of plants. (Assumes you seeded before baking.) Ask me how I know this. ;-)

I found this sink that meets all my needs (except being granite...which doesn't seem to exist). I posted a separate thread to see if anyone has any opinions on the company/brand or specs of the sink. https://www.creategoodsinks.com/collections/single-bowl-sinks/products/1-2-radius-37-ledge-single-bowl-sink-with-offset-drain-right-5ls37r Should be plenty large to fit two faucets!
