Tuesday Things.
1. Years ago I was obsessed with the cherry dip cone at DQ and I just heard that it’s discontinued. I haven’t had one in ages but of course I can’t stop thinking about one now.
2. Okay but this cotton candy ice cream is super fun.
3. Cilantro help! I only got a few herbs this year because we are moving later in the summer. But I’m determined to try and keep my cilantro alive. Give me all the tips please.
4. We are defined by the things we don’t do.
5. TV things. The end of Fatal Attraction was crazy. Also, just watched Succession last night!!
6. What do you clean wrong? I definitely do #1.
7. Also, I NEVER use the self cleaner on my oven – my mom convinced me years ago that it would catch the house on fire so I’ve been terrified to even try it. Do you use yours?
8. Finally, cleaning the kitchen is a workout!
9. Max’s newest obsession is watching Jeopardy. We are having so much fun!

By nature, Cilantro will bolt when it gets too hot. Â The only way to get it to survive the heat of the summer will be to pull it inside. Â You could maybe try moving it to a place outside that gets less sun, keep it well watered, and mercilessly pinch off any signs of it bolting, but if you are moving it you might as well bring it in out of the heat.
Just buy the darn cilantro. It’s so hard to grow. By the time it gets going it bolts (goes to seed) every time. If you can find the herb called culantro it is more heat tolerant. Tastes the same but very different looking plant.

Cherry dip is discontinued?? 😔 My DQ go to has always been a vanilla cone dipped in cherry. Haven’t had one in years but it makes me sad to know I can’t get one again
Use the self clean on your oven!!! It’s so much easier than scrubbing for hours! After the self clean cycle is done, I vacuum out the ash then give it a quick wipe then you’re done. Easy peasy!
Cilantro hates heat!  Keep it very well watered and try to plant it where it’s shady.  I’ve also never had success planting it in a pot or planter – only in the ground. It needs good drainage or the roots will rot. Keep up with using it so it doesn’t bolt when summer hits (aka this week when it’s going to be 90°!🤣)
I absolutely loved the cherry dipped DQ cone, and also have not had one in years. Why was I so good passing by it so many times and saying NO:(
Dairy Queen will rotate their dip flavors, so cherry will be back. It’s just being removed from the “standard” menu.
ooooh best news!
Use that self clean feature on your oven! Just turn it on, go about doing something else, come back when it’s finished & cooled, wipe out the ash and you have a super clean oven with little to no effort!
I never ever use the self clean anymore. Twice I’ve had the stove repaired after a self cleaning. The second happened when it wouldn’t work on thanksgiving!  It’s just too much for the oven. I just make sure I get in there and clean it manually about once a month and wipe up any spills as soon as possible.Â
WHAT! I LOVE THE CHERRY DIP! :(
