Growing up it was kept in the fridge, but my husband's family didn't, so now we don't refrigerate and I like it that way! But we have natural PB for my daughter (trying to keep the sugary stuff away while I can!) and that says right on the container to keep it in the fridge so that stuff stays cold!

I was wondering the same thing MIME25 - someone from The Kitchn should test it out using the "original" cake pop recipe and see what happens! Cake Decorating Idea: Use Cake Pops To Create A Polka-Dot Masterpiece! Once Upon A Pedestal Flag this comment	7/12/12 9:47 PM

I just started using cloth on my (now) 8 month old daughter about 2 months ago (yes, I'm awesome and decided to start when she started solids.. soooo smart (note the sarcasm!)). Just an FYI, we were having overnight leaks too, and also with disposables. There ARE cloth options out there for overnight that work! You just need to have a bit more variety in your stash! What really works for us is sustainablebabyish snapless with a bummis super whisper wrap over top. She wakes up dry every time!

My mom loves it. Everyone else in my family hates it! I've always wondered if it had to do with "tasters" and "super tasters".. you know.. that science experiment where everyone puts a little strip on their tongue and some people think it doesn't taste like anything and others think it's super bitter? So I think "tasters"/"super tasters" dislike cilantro.. Do You Hate Cilantro? It May Be Genetic. Gizmodo Flag this comment	5/24/12 8:03 AM

I've got the Moby thing on my list next time I'm at the store that carries it! Glad to know others like it too. My daughter is only 7.5 months and already is drawn to the faucet and often insists on standing in her baby tub and tries to grab at it, so we need to get that thing covered ASAP before an accident happens!

Careful with margarine - unless it's specifically vegan margarine (like Earth Balance), it's actually not vegan; it contains whey! Banana For an Egg: Vegan Substitutions for 8 Common Baking Ingredients Expert Interview Flag this comment	5/15/12 8:14 AM

I don't use wine either so looked up what to use instead of white wine in a favourite recipe and one of the suggestions was gingerale, so I've been using that and it works! Best Substitutes for Cooking Wine?Good Questions Flag this comment	4/23/12 2:55 PM
I'm Canadian and was raised with the European style, which I believe is the standard up here. On a cruise someone asked my husband and I if we were European because of how we handled our utensils!
