Last night it was a party for a friend of mine from nursing school and there were lots of the girls there I haven't seen since may. I am…

If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. They will…

I wanna go on a cruise
I just had an idea.... Would any MFPers have any interest in going on a cruise and making it kind of a MFP meetup? Cruises tend to be somewhat cheap (depending on the line) and it would make for a good low stress kind of affair. That way none of us would feel pressured to host or be the tour director. C'mon!!! Let's go!!!
