After all that perfect chocolate chip cookie baking, what’s the use when your batch goes stale in a matter of days? Cookies are great out of the oven, but biting into a hard crumbly mass later in the week is no fun. That’s why you need to understand the science of cookie osmosis, or How to Keep Cookies Fresh.
The trick is simple: place a slice of fresh bread in with your cookies a day or two after you’ve baked them, or whenever you find their texture has deteriorated. The moisture from the fresh bread will migrate to your cookies, rendering them soft and chewable again. It will literally unstaleify them!
**Tip** I reccomend wrapping the cookies in paper towel which diffuses the water a bit more and prevents the near-the-bread cookies from becoming mush.

Solve Tough Problems With Meditation
/0 Comments/in Personal Development /by EchoSierraCharlieI’ve spent a lot of time looking into different methods for solving problems and boosting my creativity. I’ve come to the conclusion that meditation isn’t just for the monks. You can use meditation for finding solutions to difficult problems, taking control of your emotions or rebooting your brain.
Im not big into the fancy mantras and religious overtones often associated with meditation. Instead I like to focus on practical meditation to focus your thoughts and cut out distractions. Meditation may sound a bit too New-Agey for your tastes, but looking at it in a more practical light, meditation is similar to turning off unnecessary programs running in the background of your computer so you can devote more CPU power to a specific task.

There will always be temptation to forsake the future for immediate gratification. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but rash spending hurts a lot later on.
Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.

Don’t get too attached to the look of version 2.6 though because it may or may not be a temporary solution. Expect major changes in the future. =]
Hopefully everything is functioning correctly. However, if something is broken please email me and let me know.

Take a piece of bread, roll it up into a tight ball and rub back and forth over the crayon markings.
