Now that the warm weather has hit, I’m paying more attention to the shelf life of food. I am a very, very bad person– I thaw out my meat on my counter.
*dodges tomatoes*
I know! I know! I am bad! You don’t need to remind me. I just HATE waiting 4-5 days for the stuff to thaw, grr! By the time it is finally ready for cooking, I’ve changed my mind about dinner, lol! I’m getting better, though. I DID actually put tomorrow’s frozen chicken to thaw in the fridge for a few days, and not on the counter. So there is hope fo rme yet.
I heard about this website on some radio show: StillTasty. It’s cute! It’s marketed as “your guide to shelf life” of food and other stuff. Great one to bookmark. I thought it might come in handy for you Frugal Hacks this summer. :D Cuz sharing is nice. :D


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
