Share your mug
Not your coffee mug, your good-looking face!
Those who have commented recently on the Fridge Magnet blog may have noticed that your comments are being paired with a pretty snowflake design. Mine, though, shows a teeny picture of my face. That's my "avatar," and anyone else who wants to share a picture (of anything, really - it doesn't have to be you) with their comment can do that pretty easily.
Just go to the Web site Gravatar.com, sign up for free (using the e-mail address that you use most frequently on this blog) and download the picture you want. Your face, your dog's face, your tomato plants, your favorite cup, whatever!! If you do this correctly, your avatar should show up the next time you leave a comment on the Fridge.
If you don't want to do this, the snowflakes are awfully pretty, too. Your comments are what count to me!
Hey Lindsey, I just wanted to comment on one of your recipes in yesterday's paper, the 'cocktail weiners'. We make the same recipe but use apple jelly in place of grape. This color is much more appetizing; gives the sauce more of a 'mustard bbq' color. However, I would spend the extra money and buy the actual cocktail weiners!

Okay... what do you think?

P.S. Rebecca,using apple jelly is a fine idea indeed. Had not considered that. The recipe calls for pineapple tidbits, so I wonder if there's a pineapple jelly that would also work. Anyway, I usually do buy the cocktail wieners if they are on sale for 2/$5 but they were 2/$6 when I did the story and I knew I could get a bit more out of the hot dog package because it weighs two ounces more. Yep, I'm the one standing in the hot dog aisle for, like, 15 minutes scrutinizing the selection
