1. Cook it in the oven.
2. If you're making it for the first time, don't make it on an occasion when
you're hoping to impress somebody. The overwhelming probability is that
you'll screw it up somehow.
3. If you want to discuss cooking, don't put
"Followup-To: rec.woodworking"
in your post's header data....or are you just a troll?
