Well, that shows you how much I know, I didn't even know it could go bad :)

See, I don't bake or cook, not a very domesticated mother. :) But I will keep this in mind.

I didn't know about this for years, either. :) I learned the hard way while in the middle of baking. Ugh.

What a great tip! I never knew that, and fresh baking powder is a must for cookies and cakes.

I really do need to do this, I read that it's usually only good for about 6 months. But my muffins still keep a-risin' so maybe I'm okay...
