Sort Of OT--Glue Sticks

I have extra glue sticks left over from my Moon Over the Mountain project. I
remember vaguely that someone had a hint for keeping glue sticks fresh, but
can't remember if it was putting in the refrigerator or the freezer. Anyone
have a hint?

I was told to keep them in a zip bag in the fridge. HTH.

I put them into one of those vacuum sealed bags. Then keep it in my
sewing room stuff.
I made the first bag long and just keep re-sealing it. Yes, it gets
shorter each time but, I do think that it saves in the long run.

I've read to put them in the refrigerator. I never do... My kids would
probably eat them. :-)

You could disguise them as broccoli. Then they'd be perfectly safe.

They wouldn't be in my house! I must have a weird kid, he loves his
vegies and fruit and meat, the only thing he hasn't be too keen on
has been ice cream! All this a week and half shy of 8 months old.

Ice cream is probably too cold for him...

I remeber the first tiem my ds tasted ice cream at about 16 months. He
was like a little bird, with his mouth wide open waiting for another
bite. Too funny, as normally he wouldn't let me feed him anything...

He's lulling you into a false sense of security. My eldest would eat
anything at all when he was just weaning - cauliflower and peach puree
was a good one. But then one day he woke up and decided he wouldn't eat
anything at all except pasta pesto for about 4 years.

Hey Bonnie! Thanks for the tip. Are you coming to MAQF this week?
We are meeting on Friday morning before the show opens, about
9:15, in the Marriott coffee shop balcony.

That's what he's like with mango in particular, and orange vegies -
carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato...
