Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Transfer the cold cookies into an airtight plastic bag. Store the cookies in multiple bags if they won't fit in a single layer. Place the airtight bag into the freezer for up to 5 months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature for 15 minutes. Keep your thawed cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Answer: Wait until the cookies feel cool to touch. This will stop them from creating condensation in the plastic bag and going soggy. Choose a bag that is sealable and large enough for the cookies to sit in a single layer. A sealed bag will stop the cookies from absorbing other flavours and having a funny smell. Freeze the cookies unfrosted and add the frosting once the cookies have thawed. This will keep the icing looking and tasting its best. If there are too many cookies to lie in 1 flat layer, split the cookies between a few sealable bags. This will stop the cookies from sticking together. Over time the cookies will start to lose their flavour. Eat the cookies within 5 months to ensure that they taste their best. Write the date on the bag with a permanent marker so that you can work out how long the cookies have been in the freezer for. Remove the cookies from the sealed bag and place them on a plate to cool. Devour the delicious cookies once they are completely thawed. If there are flies around, cover the cookies with a clean linen cloth while they thaw. If you want to warm a cookie up, simply place it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Chances are that you'll eat the cookies pretty quickly, however, if there are some left, keep them in a sealed container. This will help them keep their original texture and stay fresh. Throw the cookies away after 7 days as the dairy products in the cookies will be past their best.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a sealer. Open doors and windows. Test the sealer. Use a soft cloth to evenly apply the sealant. Wipe up puddles of sealer. Let the travertine dry, then apply second coat. Wait for the travertine to dry. Remove streak marks with more sealer.

Answer: Look for a sealer specific to travertine, or at least suited for natural stone. Use a penetrating sealer, not a topcoat or surface sealer, since the latter kind are easily scuffed or flaked when applied over travertine. Decide whether you want a sealer with a matte or gloss appearance, if applicable. Many stone sealers do not significantly affect the appearance of the travertine, but this is not universally the case. Water-based and solvent-based sealers are both safe to use on travertine. Water-based sealer is more environmentally friendly and may apply better to travertine in damp locations. Ensure that the space you are working in is well ventilated. The penetrating sealer can produce noxious fumes. Rub in a small amount of the sealer in an inconspicuous area of the travertine. Let the sealer sit 24 hours. The wait is worth it to see if the final appearance and level of protection meets your standards. If you are not satisfied, find another sealer. To test the protective abilities of the sealer, after it has sat for 24 hours, apply a few drops of water to the sealed travertine. Blot after five or ten minutes. If the travertine does not return to its original, dry color within five minutes, the sealer may not provide enough protection. Keep in mind that you can apply multiple coats of sealer to provide additional protection. Once you've tested a sealer and are satisfied with the results, rub it across the entire surface of the travertine. Use a soft cloth, or a lamb's wool applicator to save you time on large floors. Completely saturate the pores, but avoid leaving excess sealer on the surface of the stone. If puddles form, wipe them up with a dry cloth or mop. Puddles of excess sealer may stain the stone if left to dry. Most travertine surfaces require at least two coats. You may follow the recommended number of coats listed on your sealer's label, or test the sealer once a coat is dry. To test the sealer, drop a few droplets of water in several locations on the travertine. Let sit for five to ten minutes, then blot dry. If the travertine doesn't return to its original, dry color within two or three minutes, apply another coat of sealer. Make sure that the sealer has been given plenty of time to soak in and dry before heavy traffic or use occurs. Optionally, you may buff the travertine with a cloth to speed up this process and reduce the chance of streaks from dried, excess sealer. If the sealer left streaks or trails on the travertine as it dried, there is a simple way to remove them. Apply more sealer over the streaks to dissolve the dried crust, then buff the wet sealer with a cloth. Buff until all puddles and excess moisture have been removed to avoid a repeat of the original problem.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Roll a piece of clay between your fingers.

Answer:
Choose your favorite color or just a color you think would make a good snake. Put a piece of clay between your hands and roll it back and forth until you make a long, log shape. You can continue rolling until the snake is as thin or thick as you'd like. Go as quickly or slowly as you like, depending on how closely you want to monitor your clay log's length. Be careful not to make your clay log too thin, as it will progressively get more delicate the thinner it gets.
