Mike or Richard ?

Mike and Richard were cooking on the Today Show a few mornings ago and when one of the cast members (female ) came on the scene to taste the food, Mike made some remark about her wearing a bikini (as to infer she may gain weight from the food) I got the impression ,can't remember her words, that she didn't care for the remark as if it was sexist. He comes off as a that way. I am glad he lost!

What is your food quest for 2011

I hope to try to introduce a food to my Thirteen year old autistic child that he will actually eat! (that is good for him) He eats carbs and sometimes cheese. Not just any carbs or cheese! has to be a certain cheddar a certain roll and a certain pizza or he literally can't put it in his mouth!
All suggestions are welcome!

organizing a freezer drawer?

I have the same style with two shelves with the pull out drawer.
It is hard to keep organized and often I fail and then have to regroup.
I do have several containers for loose items placed in the bottom drawer .Open topped baskets and tupperware types.
I can put leftover bags of frozen veggies, herbs and other items that may get lost or "float" around in freezer heaven. Yet I am constantly reorganizing ! You didn't fail ! it is hard to keep !

Can I freeze cheese leftover from a cheeseboard ?

Thanks all for your advice ! so apppreciated!
