Hi. My name is Maria and I'm happy to have joined the Cooking in the dark list serve. I'm happy to share any tips or recipes on this list as I've seen a lot of you do. I've been reading a lot of the stuff on here and Juliet it's too bad you got that grease all over your arms with those aluminum pans. I've heard Dale uses those bacon pans with the rack, Dale if you're also on the list I've been listening to a lot of those Cooking in the dark shows. Sharon I think I know who you are you're one of the instructors at the Hadley School for the Blind or was that a different Sharon Howardton? Lol. I found out something interesting for testing the donness of steamed vegetables. If you stick a fork through the broccoli or whatever you're steaming and it doesn't go in very easily, you probably need to steam it more. It gets easier the more you steam it, sticking the fork in the vegetables gets easier.
