Room temp butter - what type of storage?

Coconut water

I thought the Zico chocolate one was NASTY. And I like coconut water a lot. I thought it had a horrible fake coconutty aftertaste.

I would definitely try the other flavored ones - pineapple, passion fruit etc to get yourself into it. Those are pretty good!

Turkish Delight needs help being delightful!

I love Turkish delight but have never made it. That said, maybe it just needs a little time to dry out and firm up. I would try leaving it out, uncovered, and sitting in a lot of powdered sugar for another day.

Missing out for a lifetime thanks to one innocent mistake.

I also have the 'prior to sickness' food issue. I ate a wrap once right before I got a terrible stomach bug. I used to eat them all the time but I haven't had one since.

Btw I am also a Crohn's disease sufferer!

Leftover rotisserie chicken skin

HAHAHA @ Lorenzo.

@ everyone - I love the skin, that's why I saved it. I bought the chicken for the meat because I wanted a mix of dark and white, and didn't want/have the time to cook it. I was just looking for some creative ways to use it, since I had so much.

I ended up frying it up and eating it with some arepas. Yum.

Thanks for that recipe AnnieNT - I'm saving it!

How many tortillas per person?

I actually just ordered from tortilleria nixtamal (IMO the best here in NY). I ended up ordering more than I will probably need (better safe than sorry) and I got a smaller size than the standard. You make a good point about some possibly being ripped, even though I have never had an issue from there. Fresh beats grocery store any day fo sho.

I'm sure the leftovers will get eaten!
