Heat is what actually makes the fibers in your shirt contract, so be sure to set your washer and dryer on their hottest settings to get the best effect. For a dryer, the hottest setting is usually permanent press. Pull your shirt inside out and wash it by itself. This will help preserve the color and design, and washing alone will make sure that nothing else gets accidentally shrunk! As soon as the wash cycle ends, take your shirt out and put it right into the dryer. Let it dry for an entire cycle, even if the sensor tells you the shirt is already dry. Try your shirt on to see how much it shrunk. If it's still not small enough, you may need to repeat the cycle a few more times until you reach the size you want.

Summary: Set the washer and dryer to their hottest settings. Wash the shirt alone. Put it in the dryer immediately. Repeat if necessary.

You'll need to configure calibre to connect wirelessly with your devices. If you haven't already, you'll need to add books in calibre on your computer before you can sync them to your Android device. Click the button next to the "Add books" button and select whether to add books individually or by directory. Navigate to the book files or folders that you want to add. You may need to click the ">>" button on the far right of the toolbar to see it. If you don't allow access, you won't be able to connect your wireless device.

Summary: Launch calibre on your computer. Add books to your calibre bookshelf. Click the "Connect/share" button. Click "Start wireless device connection." Add a password if you'd like. Click "OK." Click "Allow" when prompted by your firewall.

Both your computer and the computer to which you want to connect should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network in order for you to access their shared files. If you're connected to the other computer via an Ethernet cable, you should be able to access the shared files. If your router has different channels (e.g., 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), it's okay for the computers to use different channels as long as they're using the same network name (SSID). Click the Finder app icon, which resembles a blue face, in your Mac's Dock. Below the "Shared" heading on the left side of the Finder window, click the name of the computer to which you want to connect. This will bring up a blank window. If you don't see any computer names listed in the "Shared" section, close and re-open Finder. It may take a few minutes for connected computers to show up in Finder. It's a button in the upper-right corner of the Finder window. Doing so opens a login form. Type the other computer's username into the top text field, then type in the password used to log into that computer. It's at the bottom of the window. This will prompt your Mac to display the other computer's shared folders. As long as you enter the correct username and password for the other computer, this will allow you to open any folders you see in the Finder window. You may even be able to add files and folders or edit the existing ones if the other computer allows it.

Summary: Make sure you're using the correct network. Open Finder. Click the computer's name. Click Connect As. Click Connect when prompted. Enter the name and password for the other computer. Click Connect. Browse the other computer's shared folders.

Your ice bath is meant to instantly stop the custard from cooking, removing the heat much faster than if you just let the pot sit and cool. Use medium-low heat and stir the mixture constantly. Once it comes to a boil, continue stirring for 1 minute, then remove the pan from heat. Use 34 teaspoon (3.7mL) of vanilla extract. Keep stirring the mixture to promote cooling. Then, simply cover it with a towel or cheesecloth and let it cool down to room temperature. For an even smoother custard, run it through a fine-mesh strainer before pouring it into the chilling bowl. If you want something a bit more flavorful for your trifle, consider mixing in the following ingredients to mix things up: Chocolate syrup or cocoa powder. 4-5 tablespoons (80-100 g) of lemon curd Orange zest and orange extract 1-2 teaspoons (1.8-3.6 g) of instant coffee Flavored liquor, such as raspberry or chocolate Transfer the custard to a bowl and put it in the fridge. This allows the custard to set and cool off, which is far more preferable in a trifle. It will keep for about a week in the fridge.
Summary: Place ice and water in a large bowl and set to the side. Cook the mixture for 20-25 minutes, then boil it for 1 minute. Set the pan in the ice bath and add the vanilla. Mix in flavorings, if desired, to customize your custard. Cool the custard for at least 2-3 hours.
