You Can Crisp Up Stale Crackers, Chips, and Cookies in Your Oven

Image
In my household, I am the cook and keeper of all things kitchen-related. But a few weeks ago I broke my entire foot, so my partner has taken over, well, everything. He is doing a great job keeping the pets alive and the house clean, but I do wish he’d pay closer attention to snack storage, for my crackers and chips have grown stale. I don’t know why he can’t manage to clip a chip bag or transfer an open sleeve of crackers to an airtight container or freezer bag, but I suspect it’s related to his inability to close drawers and cabinets. In any case, this blindspot has resulted in several snack foods staling, which is not great, considering eating snacks is one of the only ways I can get my kicks right now, figuratively or literally. Luckily, re-crisping crackers and cookies isn’t hard. Just turn on your oven Crackers, cookies, and chips go stale due to moisture. Water gets absorbed by the starches in the snack, which leads to a softer texture and lack of crunch. P lacing them in the...

10 of the Best Ways to Eat Potato Chips (Other Than Smashing Them Directly in Your Mouth)

Image
Photo : Claire Lower Legend has it, if the base dough of a drop cookie can handle chocolate chips, then it can handle potato chips. The flaky, crisp texture of the potato chips adds a delightful bit of texture, and the salty component kicks more of your flavor receptors into gear. Add a dose of crushed chips to any drop cookie recipe that calls for mix-ins, like nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips. This is, however, one of the cases I’d recommend you stick to the classic chip, and avoid that sour cream and onion bag. https://www.tausiinsider.com/10-of-the-best-ways-to-eat-potato-chips-other-than-smashing-them-directly-in-your-mouth/?feed_id=324834&_unique_id=63f142aa2ef7a

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
