Never remember to leave it out to warm to room temp and so I over nuke it. Or, I leave it out in the Summer and come back to pooling mush. Just delightful. However, I'm going to shred it from now on. Thank you Susan.<br />And yes, I like your photos this size. Especially if you're showing some baking steps.
