Dear Heloise: I always read with interest the do’s and don’ts of washing makeup off at night. Science is science, but we are all different, so we have to decide our own process for ourselves.
Dear Heloise: Connie S., from Pocatello, Idaho, wrote to you about her husband being absolutely certain that lima beans are poisonous. You were absolutely correct that they are not poisonous and are a good source of fiber, manganese, copper and iron, as well as other nutritional elements.
Dear Heloise: Spices can now get exposed to the light (and maybe the heat of the fridge’s motor), but my recollection is that spices, like medications, should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place to preserve its freshness. Yes or no? -- Gaye W., via email Gaye, yes, in an ideal situation, spices last longer in a cool, dry and dark place. However, not every kitchen is set up to provide an ideal place to store items in a cool, dry and dark space. Many apartment kitchens have very small storage spaces, so some people just make the best out of having limited options. -- Heloise

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to pay homage to Ireland’s patron saint and celebrate Irish culture and cuisine.
