    What to do with Cherry Butter?

    I came back from the beautiful Door Peninsula in WI with a jar of cherry butter; it's pretty large. Does anyone have any ideas what to do with cherry butter, aside from a spread on (gasp!) breads?

    Looking forward to 4-day split because......

    Right now, I'm working out each body part 1x a week. I feel that's not enough, but I feel 2x a week is too much. With the 4-day split, I've decided every 8 days I'll get each DVD 2x, the 9th will be an interval and the 10th will be a rest. I think a rest day every 10th day suits me better than...

    Hello all, I'm flying to NYC this weekend to meet the man in my life (long distance relationship), and we're going to see the Broadway production of Chicago. What to wear? What can I get away with, closer to the casual side? I'll have to buy something, and I'll need to make it cheap as...
