Flashback Friday & Ice Cream Preservation

It's Friday. It's FlashBack Friday!

But I don't know how much I have in me today. I had to pull an all-nighter to meet a work deadline, and school is closed today. This means that I am at home with my children, no sleep, and not nearly enough coffee.

I'm wiped out. {Boo-hoo, right?}

Anyway, I'm nothing if not giving, so not only is there a little flashback for you, but I've also included a little tip, too. Yee!

First: This is a picture of Josh and I in 2002 the day we picked up our little German Shepard puppy. He was the center of our little world for a while.


{I am fully aware that this haircut did not work for me. I was still growing it out after having donated to Locks of Love. And what you can't really see is that the under side of that wig was fire engine red. Trendy and cool, right?}

Now to mix things up, a little ice cream preservation tip.

{drum roll please}

In order to prevent the freezer burn/ice accumulation thing that happens after you open a container of ice cream, place a layer of saran wrap directly on the ice cream before replacing the lid. Like this:



The saran wrap acts as a direct barrier to keep moisture off of the top, and it lasts longer.

Although if you leave ice cream in your freezer long enough to get freezer burned, you probably don't deserve that ice cream anyway and you and I can never be friends.

The End.

3 awesome people had somethin' to say...:

aww- cute picture :)

And good tip about the ice ream. Although the good stuff never lasts longer than a week here anyway.
We actually had some fat free vanilla that was so tasteless it actually did have a chance to get freezer burned. But that was the least of it's problems.

Alright, so yea...I remember when we were working out at GH and you brought in a bag of cookies with a stale piece of bread in there.

I thought to myself "WTF is that?"
But you explained how the bread keeps the moisture from making the cookies stale. Good tip, Sparky.
It works and I still use it to this day and, from time to time, have to explain to people why there's stale bread in with the cookies.

I'll be using this one as well!
