Yes, you can freeze it if it is chopped. I freeze everything. NM

Cereal
I usually eat a bowl of cereal while I'm working.
Ha ha! I just choked on my cereal!
There was a show on a couple of years ago that featured everyday people inventing things, one was a hook for just this situation. I can't remember whatever happened to that...I would buy one in a second!
never froze cereal or flour.
I have never had a problem with weavils either but I know what they are because we had them once when I was a teenager. I bake a lot and we are all about breakfast here so maybe that's why. Even though I stock up we still go through it pretty fast and I am sure to rotate everything to the front of the shelves when I bring it home.
cereal is an all time fav here in my house..
but dh grilled pork chops and hot dogs, so I didn't have to cook.. Thank God~
Coffee, cereal with lots of sugar on it, and

need advice on what i can freeze
ie, casseroles, for a family (mom having cancer surgery) that freezes well. (i know beef does, but ) does tuna freeze well, ie tuna noodle casserole? Does green bean casserole w/soup do well? Would it matter if the beans were previously frozen? thanks.
Deep Freeze !!!
Holy icicles batman ! It is -8 here in New England !
How about where you live?
Free sample Cream of Wheat hot cereal
Thought you might like to know.
Can you freeze fried eggs? - sm
I thought I might freeze breakfast sandwiches for my son so he can have a quick breakfast before work - you know, bagel, egg, bacon and cheese. Anybody know if eggs freeze and the microwave well? Thanks!
Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)

Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, put in fruit salad nm

LOL i just had cereal (puffed rice) as my late night snack
those ramen noodles weren't so filling :) or i guess im bored, with no work, and want to eat.
I eat regular cheerios every morning for breakfast! :)
If you cross your eyes, they'll freeze!
My mom told me that if I kept crossing my eyes, they'd eventually freeze into that position. I believed her, but I was a defiant little girl, so I'd stare at her and cross my eyes just to push her buttons. I figured that I might have at least one more freeze-less eye crossing in me to make her mad, and if they actually did freeze, then I'd just cross that bridge when I came to it!
By the way, I'm 45 and she's 77, and my mom is still telling me that if I cross my eyes they'll freeze that way! And I'm still crossing them just to tick her off! :)
tiramisu - buy a 1/4 sheet cake, freeze it
hot bed aerobics! Only problem is I've been celibate for almost 4 years now...hasn't stopped me from my tiramisu, though!! Gained 30 lbs eating it without the aerobics!!
Computer starting to freeze up every now and then. Any suggestions? It is
only 3 years old and not sure what is causing this.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
Or just freeze to use in soup or sloppy joes down the road. nm

Also look into putting in a "credit freeze" which wouldn't allow anyone to open anything in
Go to Suze Orman's website. Good luck.
why do you make your lasagne one day, separate it into meal size portions, freeze it, and eat it for
;
No, because they always put stuff in the L&F -sm
so why would this time be any different? Plus she probably would have called me at home to tell me that she took them home, she knows I am there 3 nights out of 5. Yes, I hope I am upset over nothing, but I fear that is not the case. Just makes you wonder if you can trust anyone these days.
GPS stuff
As a family we do something called "Geocaching" (geocaching.com) which uses GPSs and coordinates from the internet to do a 21st century treasure hunt. Over the past 5 years we've had both Garmin and Magellan devices . . . if I had an option, I'd choose a Garmin. Our first Magellan let me download maps, etc... which showed me where restaurants, hotels, etc... were, which was a super bonus on vacation with a 1-year-old and a cranky need-food-now mommy! We vacation in Maine, and there are only so many roads, so if you can't read a map, a GPS won't help much  ! Have you tried out "www.thegpsstore.com"? They have reviews, etc... that might help you sort out what you need, and what you really don't. Some systems may cost $75, but you won't be able to download maps or anything. However, the big bucks versions might have too many bells and whistles that will just make it more of a hassle than a joy. I'd also suggest a sporting goods store, i.e. Cabellas, Dicks Sporting Goods, EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) since the salespeople will more likely have a clue about how to use the thing and be able to tell you pros/cons of each system.
Sorry for the ramble . . . hope I didn't confuse the issue even more!
Never, but I look at the stuff on there a lot.
Money is tight right now, so I never bought, but most of the stuff is cool. Some of its just weird - once I saw homemade reusable tampons made out of bamboo and yarn I think.
I do stuff like that
I have to say that probably it is the thin skin of your daughter and not your lack of experience with death. I rarely say anything to my teenager (when they are upset) that is the "correct" thing to say. I think the drama is actually coming from these young people's first experiences with death, and I have found that teenagers can be profoundly sensitive to even the deaths of people they do not know.
You are just "mom." Your job is to keep her from going over the emotional cliff. Even when it is a member of your own family, that is still your primary job. That "everything is going to be okay" is the correct thing to say.
fun stuff!
I jumped on my sister in an elevator because I'm cool like that and because someone offered me 1,000,000 dollars.
My son's did not turn out so well at all . . .
I loved my brother under your bed because that's how I roll.
If he wants to come and get his stuff, that
is fine. But I would not have him bring an officer, I would have him set a time to do so and YOU have an officer there with your paperwork on the restraining order.
I'm sorry all that stuff happened to you, too, and
am more glad that you moved on as well! Thanks for bringing me perspective again. I have to run now -- off to the happy world of MTing.
The stuff is awesome!
Works when nothing else does.

Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
Then you might want to try some fresh stuff.
I just made a turkey breast today that was very tasty. In a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, I chopped up some fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I just rubbed that onto the (skinless) turkey breast.
I oven-roasted that with some vegetables, but you could put that on chicken breasts and bake or grill them. They'd be good either way.
Good luck!
Has anyone else watched this stuff?
I watched this on CNN last night and this guy had been planning this for a LONG time. Even the news station had to edit the video because of language and could not show all the pictures either, much less read anything of what he wrote. One newscaster did say, however, after reading over some of what this guy was spouting off in his video, was that the whole motive behind any of this was envy. Envy of what other people had, as far as possessions. He even idealized himself as a martyr, comparing himself to Jesus Christ. This guy had been stated as being an imminent danger to himself and others two years ago by a clinical psychologist! Now really, I seriously do not think any of his sick psychosocial mental fixations had anything to do with him being from korea! He was just a walking time bomb that exploded. JMO
I love that stuff too
It usually takes everything right off my stove in just a few minute. I also sometimes use that old fashioned stuff that now comes in a creamy liquid formula now called Barkeepers Friend. It even takes pot marks off my sink. I also recently discovered those cool white Magic Erasers Plus and now those three products are all I need except dish soap and window cleaner! Why did they wait so long to invent those Magic Erasers anyway?
They have jobs & pay for all their own stuff. Just have to do away

strong stuff
I use to sell the stuff and let me tell you the backing should not hurt the flooring. Actually, I took a screwdriver and tried to scrap, chip or just try to mar the surface of the flooring and I could not even scratch it at all.
Follow up on this cat stuff
I just got back from the store and bought some hairball control dry cat food. The older cat I spoke about drinks water so no problem there. I got the dry as well as several cans of wet hairball control so probably will mix a little of the wet with dry to start out with. I also bought glove to run over the cat and get rid of some of the excessive fur. This is not a common shedding as she has had for sometime, surprised she has any left. I have hairball gel that I could give them in addition to this. Thanks for the insight!
Bad Stuff for Dogs to Eat...
This is a good site:

funny stuff
I don't have a dog but my cat loves yogurt!
me too - I love that stuff.
I go to Target just for that purpose.
This stuff would not turn me on, would it you??

ME TOO i hate that stuff.
but prettier!
Why do men throw out our stuff and keep theirs?
Hubby did it again! I had to work a couple hours this morning and in the meantime, he decided to clean out the linen closet.
Things he kept: All his stuff, plus old towels that are good for rags.
Things he threw out: My shampoos, my curling irons, make-up, my electric shaver, etc. When I asked where they were, he burned them! My curling irons were brand new!
Is he trying to tell me something?
This is not the first time he's done something like that. I hate not being here when he gets a "whim" like this, but I never thought he'd throw out my good stuff. 
agree with you. This stuff has not been
available long enough to make a determination. I am reminded of Avandia which almost put my mother in the hospital because she was one of the few to have increase in fluids from it. The docs kept telling her that it was impossible that Avandia was the problem. I spoke to one OB-Gyn and one infectious disease doctor, both of whom did not recommend this vaccine, one saying why was it only for girls. This was about 2 years ago when our gov was considering making it mandatory in Tx, too. One doc said it was a lot of hype as it only protected against 4 of the more than 200 strains known. One research physician on a radio show claims it actually is a cancer trigger for later in life, so who knows? Afraid abstinence is the only sure prevention. BTW, sex ed in school does not seem to have prepared students for orally transmitted STD's - go figure.
Getting over holding onto your stuff sm
It is hard to part with things but sometimes (depending on where you live) you can "buy" a table at a craft show/bazaar, etc. Check the price - they go from $10 to $500 around here for a spot. Just check to see if you can go under their license and sales tax # and just "sell". Once you sell the first piece, it will give you an incentive to sell more. Also, if you trust E-bay, some people will buy anything on there. I don't know how to trust -- my problem, don't want to be flim-flammed. My sons both had bad experiences on there. My sister buys and sells all the time. She also sells the beads right off her neck if someone admires them. It's all a matter of passion in your belly, opportunity and researching how to do it. At some of these craft fairs you can "barter" with others, i.e., they may like a Halloween craft and you may like a Christmas ornament, so you "barter" and exchange. After you make your first dollar, you'll be ready to get into it. My sister does very well. I am the shy one. Perhaps that's why I chose transcription, I am a listener. Hope others can help you out with ideas.
LOVE this stuff
I use it mostly on my feet but my fingers too when they start getting chapped. It's a solid lotion that is beeswax based from a place called Beekeeper's Blend.
Maybe try Facebook for this stuff. nm

That is too funny! I swear, where do they come up this stuff?!?!?
x
Well, my son forgot lots of stuff when he
was young and I always made sure he had those things because it was my job as his mother. But, he was not an irresonsible child where I think it counted. He graduated honor roll at his school, band, cross country track team medals, and now he is in the Navy training to be a Navy Seal. I think I did a pretty good job for having such an irresponsible child.
Weird but good stuff
Mmmmm! That does sound tasty!
I went to a pizza place and tried their "grilledchicken & strawberry salad." Oh my god I am in love! They had baby salad greens, sliced up strawberries, strips of grilled chicken, sunflower seeds, shredded jack cheese, and raspberry vinegrette...just delicious! I would have NEVER tried strawberries or sunflower seeds (never mind both!) in a salad, but since then I have been making it myself almost every day now!
So nice to be "regular" for once now too if ya know what I mean 
if this stuff works, you will be my new best friend!
People....get over the days off stuff.....
