Potatos in the refrigerator crisper drawer.
I was taught that potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place, e.g. in a paper bag in the pantry...never in the refrigerator. Same for tomatoes.
Dinner Tonight: Sopa Tarasca
I'm going to try this tonight! How about chipotle chilis?
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My mom taught me to cook. My first few recipies were from the Betty Crocker book. I made pizza many times, but it was a sort of "pan pizza" with a crust made from Bisquick, adding canned tomatoes, sliced ham and covered with cheese. It sounds terrible today, but as a kid I didn't know any better. I also would make a "Strawberry Pie" that was a filling made with Jello and frozen strawberries, poured into a grahm-cracker crust (store-bought) and topped with Cool Whip. That doesn't sound so great either, but it actually tasted pretty good.
These days I make my own pizza dough and use fresh ingredients...I'm all grown up now.

Time for a Drink: Suffering Bastard
Sounds terrible....I'll have to try it soon!
Dinner Tonight: Jacques Pepin's Crusty Chicken with Mushrooms and White Wine
I made this last night and it was excellent. Simple, clean and very tasty!
Healthy & Delicious: Avocado and Corn Salsa
Calling salsa "vegan" is just silly, not to mention uninformed. Vegans are so self-obsessed.
Dinner Tonight: Leftover Chili Dogs
Sounds terrible. I don't see the point of all that ketchup; it's certainly no easier than opening a small can of crushed tomatoes and one of tomato sauce for a much better dish.
Time for a Drink: The Gin Rickey
Yes, that's what I drink when I'm out of tonic. Even plain water works if you're out of club soda as well.
Serious Cheese: Goat Cheese as a Marker of Gentrification
It's safe to conclude that it is a sign of gentrification, but also of the larger trend, more or less nationwide, of expanding food choices. My local average "supermarket" now stocks dozens and dozens of mustard varieties that were never there when I was a kid. And stop me about the vinegar choices...just endless. It takes up nearly an entire aisle.
McDonald's Big Mac, The AHT Review
Oh well, I fell for it. It almost made me curious to try one, and I haven't been to McDonalds in over ten years. But I do remember the Big Mac and I never did like it or the Quarter-pounder. The meat has an odd flavor, not like fresh-cooked ground beef, so they cover it up with that big mess of sauce, lettuce, cheese, etc. Remember the Big Plain, anyone? It exposed the truth about the meat.
I go to Fatburger now. They cook that fresh patty right in front of you.
Pizza Burger, Straight From Disneyland Paris
No, not this one. Try the burger served on a split glazed donut.
Time for a Drink: Bee's Knees
Looks like a way to ruin good gin, but I'll give it a try. It's probably better with simple sugar syrup rather than honey, but...
In Los Angeles, Fred 62's Jucy Lucy Is Like In-N-Out on Steroids
Doesn't look terrific in the photo, but I will go give it a try and report back. I am a Cassells fan from way back, but I guess they've slipped. I need a new hero.
In 'n' Out fries: kind of limp and greasy, if you ask me. Good burger, though.

True! Don't you think it defeats the purpose when they ship fruit baskets out that way? :)

@ChefRobert: for the same reasons, florists usually keep a seperate fridge for fruit for fruit baskets, as the gas produced can quickly age and ruin the cut flowers.

An easy way to not F up fruit and veg storage... store them exactly how they are stored in the supermarket. Potatoes are not refrigerated. Herbs and Lettuces are refrigerated. It's so simple.
Also pay attention to where they are stored. Bananas are away from other produce because placing other fruits and veg in a close proximity to bananas promotes quicker rotting. Ethylene gas is the culprit, and only some produce releases it in large amounts that will hasten rot. Tomatoes, avocados and melons should also be stored far away from other fruit and veg.
Dinner Tonight: Jacques Pepin's Crusty Chicken with Mushrooms and White Wine
One lovely part of this recipe is you can make enought to feed four - or just one person.
And, it's terrific with just a salad and a bit of bread.
