Anyone know a substitution for red wine vinegar? I've got apple cider vinegar and cooking wine. I've got Italian salad dressing. Any suggestions?

Is it o.k. to use bread flour for cookies and if so, what difference would it make in the texture, etc. I bought the flour by mistake and didn't realize it until the batter was made. I haven't baked them yet, but was wondering if or how to use up the rest of the flour. I am not a bread maker. Thanks for any comments on this. Let you know how the cookies turn out after they are baked.

to answer Cheryl. Yes you can freeze creme puffs. Have done it and they are fine. Just not more that 2-3 months if possible

My question has to do with Key Lime Cake 111. Is this calling for 1 and 2/3 or is it just 2/3.
