Dear Heloise: How long does all-purpose flour last in the refrigerator? I've had it in the refrigerator one year. Is it still good to use?-Dorothy D., Fayetteville, N.C.
Dorothy, all-purpose flour can last up to eight months on the shelf when stored in a tightly sealed container. If you keep it in the refrigerator, it can last as long as two years.-Heloise
A LONGTIME FAVORITE
Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for Cole Slaw With Yogurt that was out of this world. Would you please reprint it?-Rose J., Brighton, Mich.
Rose, this recipe is delicious with so many different meals, and with the holidays coming soon, it adds a nice original touch to many traditional dinners. Here it is:
COLE SLAW WITH YOGURT
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
1 small sweet pickle, minced
2 tablespoons green onion, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/3 cup shredded carrot
Combine the yogurt, pickle, onion, lemon juice and pepper in a bowl. Mix in cabbage and carrot (you might be able to find packaged shredded cabbage and carrots at your grocery store), making sure the yogurt mixture is evenly distributed and all of the cabbage and carrot gets well-coated. Chill before serving.-Heloise
EGG SEPARATOR
Hi, Heloise: I've discovered an easy way to separate an egg: I use my kitchen funnel in a glass, and crack the egg in there. Ideally, the yolk will stay in the funnel, and the white will slide into the glass.-Susan in Arkansas
