Ok so my ultimate first choice would be the black diamond hoops. I lurvs those! LOL

I like the organic pam with olive oil. I use it for eggs and there are always coupons in the sunday paper.

Thanks for pointing us to this great site! I’m thinking of ordering the silver hammered drop earrings for my daughter’s godmother. Fabulous!

This cheese info is really interesting. Cheese is SCIENCE, for sure!

Comment on By (very, very, very) popular request…my bread knife. by SandyH

I have the Victorinox knife also, from Amazon . Really great knife.

I will give another tip, though; as a sometime-caterer to whom perfect slices are a necessity: use an electric knife. You can get THIN slices with no effort, no crumbling or squishing, even when warm. I go ahead and slice the whole loaf lickety-split before freezing.

This week was not too bad for me. I had one apple that looked a little rubbery, but not too bad, but then it turned out to be one of those that has turned brown from the middle out… ew.

Continuing my slow-motion freezer cleanout, this week we have a bag of edamame with date 8/28/2010 (yeesh). This is a thaw-and-eat item, and I love edemame! Damn. I also tossed a quarter-package of shredded taco cheese with date of Oct. 2011.

I’ve been doing good eating what I have. I made pudding tonight with some milk that I probably wouldn’t have used otherwise, AND I threw 3/4 cup of half & half in there, too (had bought it for a soup). It’s going to be extra creamy pudding, yum! Chopped some veggies I bought to make veggie wraps, ate one for dinner. Twas a time when I let veggies go bad just because I never got up the gumption to chop them!

Ate soup from the freezer for lunch today, will have tomato sauce from there tomorrow (thus avoiding food waste and $6 purchased lunch). My freezer is pretty lousy and freezer burns things really fast, so I’m trying to be more aware of what I put in there, and bring them back out to eat before too long.

I’ve been wanting diamond studs forever, but I’d settle for some quality CZ studs at this point!
