Wonderful suggestions, though shredded ginger seems unnecessary to me. Won't it stay fresh longer if not shredded? You can easily shred a chunk of frozen ginger in no time.

I'm gonna do the other four for sure! I recently found out that plain old chopped onions freeze beautifully in a little tupperware so I have those on hand as chopping onions is the most boring part of cooking for me. Having carmelized ones on hand would be fantastic, as they take a long time to prep.

I love sidecars too, but I have several cocktail books and they all say sidecars use brandy/cognac, not bourbon.

Wonderful suggestions here. I feel inspired to give a party myself!

Why does the author call it a "discounted cheese basket"? The cheeses in the basket are the same price per pound as the larger pieces of cheese.

I sold one of mine, though it was 4 years old, to http://www.cashforlaptops.com/. They gave me $135, not bad for an old laptop. It would have been $155 but they took off $20 as my battery barely held a charge. They even sent me a postage-paid padded box in which to mail it. It was super easy. They wouldn't pay for my older laptop so it's still sitting around. I plan on using it for music only.

I'm with you, RosieGreenie. I thought all savvy nutrionists knew by now that nutrients are assimilated better by eating full-fat, whole foods, rather than ones that have been altered to be lower in fat than nature intended.
