Oooh...I LIKE the Edoras one!

Seems like that'd be yet another cool thing to have at an Entmoot...have a table set up with one of these puzzles, and people could add a few pieces when they wanted.

The hobbiton one is too basic.... 300 pieces! Argh!

The Minas Tirith one is better (700 piece), but I still want really advanced puzzles.... I do a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle in an afternoon.

I really enjoy puzzles, but I've never attempted a 3D one.

Having a 3 year old and 3 cats will do that to you...frankly, it just wouldn't survive the building process...lol

Yep...me too. I'm so proud to be part of this Hole.

We're off to the postoffice as soon as I finish eating.

Try them! The 3D ones actually take up so little space, that they are easier to do where there might be interference! Each flat wall section is done independently (I complete each wall section and then stack them in the box) and then you set it up all at once. It isn't completed in 3D, and I think it would be impossible to do that.

We had a 3D puzzle of the Empire State Building. Never got it finished. Luke started carrying off pieces and Sam ate them. We're missing quite a few floors...

Do you glue them together once they're completed?

Was either one of them dressed as King Kong? That'd be a GREAT photo-op. lol

I was having a little bit of the same trouble with ecurbh!

No - I take them apart and do them over and over again.

Mmmmm!

I tell ya, that's the best thing I ever did was learn how to make your hotwings! I'll NEVER buy pre-made hotwings again!

Had a half dozen with an avacado and a coke just now.

I brought left-overs for lunch with some blue cheese dressing....only I forgot to bring my apple. I wonder if you added cornstarch if the sauce would stick to the chicken better....

You mean a bit thicker? I don't know. Maybe...I wonder if you could boil it with a little flour?

I added less vinegar this time. I added a tablespoon of vinegar per pound instead of a tablespoon and a half.

I dunno....I guess you could use flour, but I'd probably add too much and end up with a paste instead of a sauce. :)

Well, they are certainly delicious just the way they are...but here is what I did last night...

First I baked the wings will they were brownish (about 20 minutes?) and then turned them and did the same thing on the other side. I took them out, tossed them in the sauce and got them thoroughly coated. Then I took them out, put them back on the baking sheet and baked them for another 15 minutes or so. This kinda dried the sauce out on them a bit, so it was like stuck to it.

Then I took them out and dumped them back into the sauce and got them thoroughly coated again and then served.

They were completely tender and delicious.
