I am heaven sent with these recipes. The forks for fan are not showing up on my screen as I am on an msn tv unit. I am still trying to see if I can find a way to input the fan part. I love both recipes I saw today and am frustrated that I am unable to put in my picture where the fan spot is..but please consider the gesture as genuine...I am getting a new Mac soon...
