Favorite Trick of the Day--Saving Tomato Paste

Do you often open a can of tomato paste for a recipe that only calls for a tablespoon or two, then jar it and put it in the fridge with the best intentions, only to rediscover it and maybe two or three like it covered in hair weeks later? I have a solution! It works great and it will make you feel awfully clever. Next time you open a can of tomato paste, roll out a sheet of wax or freezer paper onto a cookie sheet, and measure out a tablespoon-sized dollop at a time onto the paper. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer just long enough to freeze the dollops, then roll up the paper with the dollops still slightly stuck on, and put the whole thing in a gallon zip lock bag. Keeping the dollops in place keeps them from sticking together, and it's part of the cuteness/cleverness effect I mentioned earlier, as is the word "dollops";)
