Actually KB, a few years ago OC gave me that same advice and I put them in the fridge for a few days ever since then. Yes it makes a difference. My dad used to hang them in the rootcellar for a day or two but I didn't think that was a good idea. I usually wait five days now. I put them in a large corningware dish and just cover over the top.

See I would have figured out who you are eventually :)
