SEE THE ENTIRE LINE UP

Looking at cute animals really does help reduce stress!

Gosh, animals do cute things.

Please, remember your manners. Thank you.

First, I want to apologize to the cab driver I p-$$ed off the other night. I'm sorry that my big mouth got belligerent. I hope you don't think everyone who comes from an open-bar, cocktail party, dressed in 4-inch stilettos and attitude, are all discourteous and rude. I let Gin get the best of me. And I'm sorry for what I said.

With that said, I've noticed lately that some people just have bad manners. I see it almost everywhere: places I dine, shop, commute, work, and sometimes, unfortunately, with people I know. I'm guilty of it too, I admit it (not the nose picking part by the way). And so, as a reminder, please, please, take the time to get re-acquainted with these good manners:

Someone Call the Cute Police!

Our precious lab mix is very cute and she does a lot of cute things, but holy crap, this sleeping bulldog puppy takes the blue ribbon today!!!

My First Peruvian Chicken

One of the things I love...Peruvian Chicken. This is the first time making this. I hope my lovely Peruvian girlfriend makes sure I'm making this right. Ladies and gents, I'll report back to you when Hubby takes this off the grill.

Lots of garlic...

and lime...

and cumin, paprika, and other spices...

Now, getting ready for the grill...

Let's hope it turns out delicious...

Is That Milk OK To Drink And Other Eat-By-Date Tips

Every time I use milk, I look at the "Use By" date and I smell it, even if it hasn't met its expiration date. But milk, like some foods, are actually OK to use after that date, but how long can I really keep it before I have to put on the gas mask and rubber gloves? If you can't find the "Use By" date, look for the printed date--or go by your purchase date--and use these unofficial guidelines.

Fresh Eggs

Eggs, when stored properly in the fridge, are good 3-4 weeks after the printed date.

Butter

Unopened, real butter, lasts for about month one in the fridge. If opened, plan to use it within 2 weeks after the printed date. To extend its shelf life to 6-9 months, store it in the freezer.

Fresh Oranges

These refreshing citrus fruits will last 2-3 weeks on the counter, and 1-2 months in the fridge.

Fresh Apples

You know what they say, “An apple a day keeps the doctors away.” So keep some on hand: fresh apples in the pantry will last 2-4 weeks and 1-2 months in the fridge.

Deli Meats

Fresh deli meats should be use 5-6 days from the purchase date. If you buy the prepackaged deli meats, use it within 7-10 days after opening or store unopened packages in the freezer for up to 8 months.

Bread

Breads from the bakery should be eaten with 2-3 days of purchase, packaged breads up to 7 days. In the freezer: 6 months.

Cereal

Cereal is one of those foods that my Hubby and I don’t eat regularly but we always seem to have boxes of it in the pantry. An unopened box of cereal will last 6-8 months in the pantry after the printed date. If opened, it will be good for 4-6 months.

Packaged Tea

I drink tea and always have an assortment lying around. Packaged tea should last 6 to 12 months after the printed date and 1-2 years in the freezer. I didn’t even know you could freeze tea!

Bubblies

Hubby and I tend to have sparkling wine and champagne on hand. It’s a great go-to drink for drop-by visitors and brunch mimosas! Both will last 3-4 years after purchase date, and if you happen to have vintage champagne on hand, it will last you even longer—20+ years. So, stock up!

And Milk?

I use skim and the guideline says you should be able to use it 7 days after the printed date. BUT, I’m still going to smell it and hopefully the answer is obvious whether I go ahead and pour it into my coffee or not!

Which Side of the Foil to Use and Something Else That's on My Mind

Foil: Shiny or Dull Side?

As I was unwrapping my lunch burrito from its coil cocoon, I had a flashback to the time when someone told me that you should use the dull side of foil to wrap food. I wasn't sure exactly why (something to do with one side being untreated?) so I had to find out if that was true. So, shiny or dull side?

First, let's understand why there is a difference: During manufacturing, one side comes in contact with the rollers and becomes shiny. Some believe the shiny side deflects heat differently but technically, both sides are OK to use but there are always the skeptics. So, what was the result of a temperature test on baked manicotti using both sides? The same temperature no matter which side was used!

The bottom line: The shiny and dull sides of aluminum foil insulate and conduct heat at the same rate. And either side is OK to use.

Skirt Slits: Please Open It

One of my pet peeves is seeing women (and some men) who do not know that you are suppose to open up the slit in new skirt or jacket!

You know, the slit in the back, at the bottom of that new skirt or jacket, where two edges are sewn together, and sometimes looks like an "X" boxed in? Yes, yes, that part. Please remove that so you don’t walk around with what appears to be a large slit-shaped hole. Whew, isn't' that better?
