Teaching density! Shake it up and watch it separate again! Unfortunately ours didn't separate very well. Turned into maybe 3 layers of different shades of brown. :-(

Funny recipe the kids loved. Toby had to pull every noodle out of his hot dog though...I think it made him mad. But everyone else thought it was fun! ;-)

Freeze green onions in water bottles - shake out the right amount and return to the freezer! I always have green onions that go bad because I don't use them fast enough. Love this! I use a creamer container with a nice pouring spout.

When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria on the surface. Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.

crunchy green grapes, dip them in caramels melted with a little cream, then dip them in finely chopped, salted peanuts. So addicting. Like little tiny caramel apples....but better..
