I try to do what my mom did for produce storage but my fruit kept going bad. I talked to a produce guy at Henry's and he said the produce is picked earlier then it was when I was a kid, and the best way to store it is to not use paper towel in my fruit bowl (like my mom did, but now that I think about it our fruit bowl was wicker, mine is glass) and to only let one or two pieces ripen at a time and keep the rest in the fridge.

So far, so good.

I like [url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/dog-libman-dogs-2128876-first-people] this story because 1) the owner of the Shar-Pei that won 16 medals is my cousin and 2) said Shar-Pei's registered name is "Mikobi's Little Brick Schmidthouse". :D hahaha nice, Bobbie.

Note to self: remove garlic from fridge

FWIW, Costco has a little window-style a/c unit right now with a massive SCE rebate on it, out the door I think it's like $60.
That sounds delish! Of course, everything's better with bacon..... :evil: (or in this case, maybe some pancetta)

Unfortunately, those don't work with French windows - only sliders.

I'm starting to look like my avatar. My Hollywood dinner is at 7pm, and I'm already panicking about what to wear. :eek:

I suggest wearing clothes. Going naked is always dicey.

As was mentioned I was assuming whole bulbs/cloves. If they're peeled (I'm presuming this meant a jar bought that way) then they should be refrigerated.

Also, you'll find people recommending storing garlic in olive oil, which is a traditional method. But it also isn't particularly safe if you don't take a lot of care with it, it can grow botulism.

Unless I were auditioning for porn...

Actually, scratch that - my nakedness would land me a guaranteed spot on Discovery Channel's Whale Watchers Week. ;)

Mine is unpeeled. So I still appreciate the advice.

DP: I was wondering if that was tonight... good luck! :)
