Sandy, glad you are going to give it a try. I also do not like skins in anything I cook. I tried not scalding a batch of quarts one year and ended up picking every last skin out of anything I used them for. What a pain, lol.
Linda, thanks for the cake comment. That was for my sweet granddaughters 13th birthday. We picked her up at home and took her to a local park for a fancy picnic lunch. Then we took her shopping to a big Mall in the area and let her buy whatever she wanted within the limit we set for her special day. It was a riot because her Grandpa loves to tease her and had her and all the sales people in stitches. I can't believe she is now 21 and going into her fourth year of college. She is the light of my life. Here is a picture of her and the little girl she is nanny for each summer.
