Cheryl, they never keep long around here, but we've gone up to 2.5 weeks with no issues. If I were doing a big batch, I just freeze in airtight bags and then let them come to room temperature on a cookie sheet on the counter (to avoid moisture build-up), then place back in the bag to store.

I love the addition of almonds. They look fantastic, and we have plenty of leftover cranberry sauce to use up.

Oh, Molly. That's just heartbreakingly crappy. I'm so sorry, and I love your positive spin on it. Big hugs to you and yours this snowy night.

Is it completely wrong that I really want to see the artwork in the basement? "I WILL. No I WILL."

SNORT. HAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, this is the best thing I've seen all week. "You're much better than the last one." Wonder where they heard that. ;)

We make something similar to this but add in hominy instead of corn. This looks so refreshing and bright and perfect for spring and Cinco de Mayo next week!

It's easy and fun to eat, too, and the kids love it, which makes everything more fun.

Oh dear. Hahaha. I love that they didn't care you didn't have a key and that your sister tried to reassure you that way!

We're headed up the North Shore this week. Luckily, our final destination is BWCAW, but I'm pretty bitter about the lack of state parks on our way up even if I didn't plan on using their campgrounds. Glad to see you enjoyed your 75% off tent! My kids love camping in the backyard.

This looks fabulous. I go through hummus cravings myself. Incidentally, I prefer my hummus somewhere between thick and thin. ;)

Love this. Grilled halloumi will always be a favorite here, and sometimes the best recipes are the simplest and easiest to prepare. Katie is so right!

Re: Food Science Camp: Dill Pickles

Shaina Olmanson — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:26:55 -0000

Hi, Josh. We definitely keep our unsealed pickles around longer, but for food safety reasons, I'd suggest eating them sooner rather than later, especially if you're continually opening, fishing out a pickle and then closing and continuing to refrigerate, which is really more of the issue in this case.

Re: rogue chocolate stout brownies with bailey’s buttercream frosting

Shaina Olmanson — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:34:40 -0000

These were fabulous. I loved them, even if they were considered cake and not brownies. I'm a huge fan of Guinness anything, so that probably had something to do with it, too.

Cookie, cookie.

I do wonder why you didn't eat that cookie. Did you see that article in USA Today about lunch length and obesity? It's a good and interesting read. Something to chew on.

This looks like the perfect breakfast. I'm looking forward trying the sweet potato fries.

You're very welcome, Maureen! Last year we did hot chocolate and gingerbread pancake mix gifts along with our cookies. The kids are always so proud handing them out. :)
