Anatomy of a chicken

Rotisserie chicken. Last night we bought it. I have passed through it a million times but since two are not enough to finish it, friday night with friends was the opportune moment for it. I have always seen the meaty part of a turkey sliced. So when my friend was about to cut the chicken, I expeted her to meet it horizontally, but she did so vertically. First big lesson, it has big bones in it. Must have been all those honey glazed ham pictures which numbed me to bones. We were hungry so my husband and I each ate a leg. I told my friend that she could  have the other two legs. The correction is they are wings.

And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
