Thanks @shannonlat! I have some right now in my shower b/c i read about someone who let the steam from her shower melt the oil and the rub it into her skin. I've used the molten oil after shaving my legs and it makes them SO soft. I cant wait to use it on my face! =)

when you say apple, does that mean that you're roasting the apples too?

I love this idea! I think its a great idea for a DIY holiday gift for people like me (grad students living on pennies/year)

I'm on the fence about freezing tomatoes, but i think the idea of freezing peppers just blew my mind a little. I can't tell you how many times I've made chili and wanted a fresh jalapeno that didn't cost a dollar to buy when in the summer they're 10 cents a piece at the farmstand!

I'm with you PurpleNails. I'm a grad student and sent this post to a lot of my guy friends.

For the last two commentors, why don't you and your respective fiances pick a chairty that you care about and let guests donate in your name? I recently started raising money for the American Cancer Society and its been really wonderful how my family and friends have come out to support. I imagine that if you're having a wedding and don't want gifts, this would be a great way to 1. Let guests give a gift and 2. Donate to a great charity. Then at the reception you could make an announcement about how much money the guests help donate. The more that I think about it, the more I really like the idea, but that's me =)

Happy wedding planning everyone!

caedstrom - I'm a huge fan of boxed mac&cheese - not for the nutrition, but the comfort foodiness it provides. The "healthier" versions like Annies just don't cut it. There's an odd aftertaste thats not present in a Kraft or Velveeta box. (disclosure - I'm 26 and have been eating boxed mac for oh, about 20 years now... actually probably less since my mom thought boxed mac was gross so she didnt make it too often...)

the best I've gotten is to melt american cheese singles (even organic ones) over noodles with butter. It isn't the same, but tastes just as artificial =)

I'm excited to see what people add in here! Also - Moshe, if your kids eat tomatoes try chopping one up and adding it to the mac&cheese - its REALLY good and adds a little bit of nutrition to the dinner

Thanks Emma - I recently purchased a crock for grad school and am trying to find some fun recipes for it. I'm still interested to try the recipe regardless. I love me some tomatoes!
