Use the broiler only, No convection, No oil on the skin, No butter under the skin. Not sure about time we tend to go by the look of it, one thing to make sure of ... When you test it to find the internal temp try not to let it sit to long or the heat from the broiler will burner the closest part of the chicken to the top. The other thing to worry about is falling over when you taste the best chicken you did have :)

Soft close glides and hinges; 170 degree opening hinges except where doors are blocked from opening past 110 degrees (we've been told they are better hinges and they allow doors to open out of your way fully). Full extension drawer glides. Adjustable shelves and pull-outs are good. I don't know that I'll want to adjust mine in the future, but during the "putting stuff away phase," we did need to have some pull-outs moved so they could accomodate certain items (same with the shelves, but I did those myself along the way). Pull-outs under the sink. Shallow lipped pull-out at the top of the pantry for short cans and jars. Wood (tiered) insert for spice drawer if you'll have such a drawer. See the thread re: storing a large amt of spices. "Found" space, often in an island, behind other cabs or drawer banks. Cabs and drawers are often standard depths (from front to back), even in semi-custom and custom cabs. In our 30" wide island, we had 6" deep by 27" wide or so "dead" space behind the drawer bank on the opposite side of the island, and another 6" deep by about 15 or 18" wide space. We put those shallow spaces to good use--the wider one for our step-stool, and the narrower one for some storage and wired it for our kick heater switches, too.

oh yes, septics are incredibly expensive. town says since it's functional that is all that matters, so we'll see about using it as leverage. meanwhile i am waiting to hear from an agent to get this place of mine listed and to represent me to make an offer. i've called the town zoning admin, the land is indeed agricultural so horses are allowed, as is fencing and barns etc. the town no longer uses this pond as drinking water either, so set backs are not as stringent as they once were. the price is very fair for this location, i'm current on local real estate market. next is to hoe out this place, 23 years here with both sets of parents' homes stashed in here as well as my own stuff. ick, i'm not looking forward to the cleaning out process at all.

When I've used zucchini instead of lasagna noodles, I roast them first. One of our cookbook club members made an excellent Zucchini Soup. It is sausage, zucchini, celery, bell peppers, onion, canned tomatoes, Rotel, Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic, and basil. It was delicious! I'm a zucchini hater and I loved it. If you're interested, I'll post a photo of the recipe.
