Steemit is a great place to learn English as quite a few people write bilinigual posts from CN (I was a bit lazy with this post) and there are many from other countries who's first language isn't English either so there is less pressure. Not to mention, posting in English will increase your exposure exponantially, as you may have realized already.
For the chicken bake, I put carrots and onion at the bottom of the tray, then marrow at the top as it needed less time. Basically you can throw in anything you like!
Thank you :)
