Mine went really weird at first. I tried to sent two replies but it said
something about not being able to certify me. For some reason, they seemed
to think that I had no account. And I believe that because it allowed me to
set up a new account with the same user name and email. Then weirdly, I got
an email telling me my user name and password and it was the old password I
had and not the newer, more secure one that I often use.

I only do those huge ones if a stuffed potato is our meal, perhaps with some
salad on the side or other vegetables. Otherwise I use the smaller ones.
