Another vote for Corelle Winter Frost White! I grew up with Corelle, and I can't imagine living without it. They are so light and durable, and they take up so little space. I break out the fine china for extra fancy dinner parties, but for casual get-togethers and everyday use, Corelle can't be beat.

Flat, Bubbly, or Flavored: Do you Serve Water with Dinner?

When I was growing up, we never had water during our meal, only after. I remember my mom saying it was better for digestion to refrain from drinking beverages during your meal...not because of diluting your stomach acid or solidifying fats, but because drinking water made it to easy to swallow big chunks of food.without the extra lubrication of drinking water, you're forced to chew your food really well before swallowing...and that is good for digestion. Plus you eat more slowly, so you enjoy your food more and get full faster!

Actually, my family just freezes peeled garlic cloves in freezer bags or Lock & Lock glass containers. Texture isn't a concern since we always cook the garlic, and flavor doesn't seem to be lost in the freezer. Plus, being frozen makes them easier to mince.

Reminds me of maple candy from The Little House in the Big Woods
