Storage

As I mentioned, I'm in the process of moving. What I didn't explicitly mention is that I'm moving half way across the country. While some dry goods might make the trip, most of my accumulated food stores won't.

Recently, I saw a tip on Lifehacker that caught my attention: to store cheese (keeping it soft and preventing mold growth), spread a thin layer of butter on it. In the comments, someone one-ups this by suggesting that the butter be spread on cheesecloth which is then used to wrap the cheese.

If you love your coffee, store it properly.
