Crispy skinned roast chicken å la Martha Stewart

Trying my hand at a variation of Martha Stewart’s crispy skinned chicken – basically roasting a chicken sprinkled with 1-1-/2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with salt. I like to butterfly my chicken so it will cook faster and brown evenly. I season it on both sides, then broil for 10-12 minutes skin side down until browned, and then flip it skin side up to roast at a high temp (450° - 500°) until done — about 25-35 minutes, or until juices run clear.

*My secret to a great roast chicken: Don’t overcook it!

Tiny Thot: Love never gives up | 12.03.10 #TeensyThot

1 Corinthians 13 (The Message)

 1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

   Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.
