What happens to those who keep the coffee in the fridge? Here is the incredible answer
What happens to those who keep the coffee in the fridge? If the coffee is left in the fridge at low temperatures and with humidity it loses all its fantastic aroma and absorbs the smell of other foods, ending up taking on a rather strange taste. Ground coffee must be stored in a cool, dry place. A shelf not exposed to sunlight is the most suitable place. Both ground coffee and beans suffer from heat, cold and sudden changes in temperature. It is good to know that the shock caused by the coffee coming out of the refrigerator causes condensation inside the container and humidity is the enemy of its good conservation. Leaving the coffee in the freezer damages the natural fats and depresses its aroma.

Sweet & Sour
Sweet & sour, bitter & sweet. Let us consider this dynamic flavorsome duo. Two delectable tastes worthy in their own rights, but when combined, the eruption of the two apposing forces interchanging is a unique experience in and of its own. Like most dynamic duos - sugar & spice, wine & cheese, nuts & beer, Bert and Ernie, Thelma and Louise, the sun and moon, they compliment each others assets like two best friends should. Sweet and bitter enhancing one another and their qualities, whilst balancing the palate and making the eating experience delectable.

Crab Claws
The shop was pretty ordinary, situated on Exhibition Street opposite the Comedy Theatre. If you blinked, you’d miss it. They sold crab claws, the best in Melbourne so the sign in the window outside stated. Mrs Cray stood facing the red and gold oriental door and wondered if she should try them, rain pelting her, clothes soaked to the skin. It was an hour before her lift to Barbara’s house, her complaining sister-in-law. Well, thought Mrs Cray, I suppose John’s death five days ago has finally given you something to really bloody complain about. Cruel thoughts about Barbara given the circumstances…but true none the less, Mrs Cray believed.

More People Should be Eating Ramen with Kraft Singles
Imagine this. You're an American kid in the mid-2000's, halfway through your second grade year. You were looking forward to a weekend of scooter-ing around your local cul-de-sac but tragically, a cold has left you bedridden and woebegone. You stare out your bedroom window, longing to join your neighbors outside. But alas! You have a headache, a slight fever and a sore throat. You may as well be dead.

Unpopular Opinion: The Best Tea in the World
There are many different ways to make a cup of tea. What on the surface looks like a simple set of instructions has spawned a plethora of different styles and preferences. You can have whole milk, skimmed milk, oat milk, no milk, 1 sugar, 2 sugars, 100 sugars, or none, and so much more. Indeed many people have many differing tastes when it comes to preparing tea, but there is one particular method, unlike the others, that is universally frowned upon. It is considered taboo, a strict no-no. This method would only be found in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts library.

Why Coffee is Just Okay
Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t like coffee. Let’s take a step back for a second. I’m almost 27 years old. I’m a graduate student. I’ve worked late nights, overnights, and early mornings. And I don’t like coffee.

Why do they call tangerines "small oranges" instead?
Fruits are a vital part of our balanced diet. It is something we have almost every day of our lives. It comes in various shapes and forms. It also comes with various tastes and vital nutrition. Fruits are classified seed-bearing edible substance from a plant. Over the years, fruits are known to play a very important role in the growth of the human system. It is even claimed that it helps boost the immune system as well as promote healthy well-being. Even with all these fantastic claims about fruits, there are still some mind blowing questions that I personally have regarding fruits in general.

Cake Does Not Take the Cake
Many people for many centuries have enjoyed the sweet "treat" that English speakers refer to as "cake". I un-popularly believe that this dessert is in fact rubbish. Now when I say cake, I do refer to cake as in the general term for all sweet pastries and deserts, nor do I refer the relatively modern definition of cake (having junk in thine trunk). The cake I have in mind is specifically the common, bland, dry, disc of flavourless airy nothing that people atop with candles to celebrate birthdays. They come in many varieties, some of which are more bearable than others, but all generally sharing the fact that they are inferior to almost any other choice of sweet.

Don’t Dunk The Bikkie!
YOU SIP THE TEA OR THE MILO AND BITE A CRUNCHY BIKKIE. Done. You repeat. End of story. But, no. Some-one, somewhere had to take the good quality biscuit out of the special bikkie tin. Or the packet and drown a portion of said biscuit in a hot drink, served to them. Or that they made for themselves. The dunked biscuit is now soggy and unappealing, to me. Ingredients practically separating, . Then the person bites the wet part of the biscuit that was submerged and is some how satisfied with this tea-time. The biscuit, also.
