The Picture Might Not Be Complete

Recently found this recipe on one of my favorite blogs, A Beautiful Mess, and just had to try it once I realized just how easy it is. Beat the condensed milk with the egg yolks until fully combined. Add the lime juice and beat again until combined. Add the shredded coconut to the mix I also sprinkled some on top of the crust. You can never have too much coconut. Pour in your filling and put pie in oven at 375 degrees for 16 minutes.

Allow the pie to cool completely and then chill the pie until it's completely cold in the fridge. Once the pie is completely cold in the fridge add fresh whipped cream and sprinkle the toasted coconut on top. To toast the coconut simply put the shredded coconut on a pan on the stovetop at medium, the coconut will become a beautiful brown color.

I apologize for the missing crust piece in the picture above, but I could not resist breaking a piece off the graham cracker crust once it got out of the oven. The picture might not be complete, but it was delicious and worth it. I pretty much could finish this all alone, but then had to share it. Its so good, you won't regret making it, but then you will want to make 2-3 at a time. Trust me and I am sorry. But you will thank me later.

Defragment your hard disk for a faster PC. Note: Do not use defragmentation on SSD disks. If you’ve cleaned up space on your drive, congratulations: this alone should make your computer faster. But oftentimes, a faster PC requires not just having free space on the disk, but also using that space efficiently.

With the way files are stored on your hard disk, they are not neatly stacked next to each other as you would expect. Files are spread out over blocks on the platter of the drive, so when something is deleted, you get spaces of empty blocks between the remaining files. This spreading out of data means more work for your hard drive as it tries to find a file. In other words, two files in the same folder could be far apart (or “fragmented”) on the drive platter.

Defragmentation (or defrag) is a maintenance tool that moves your files into an organized and sequential order. This makes searching for files and accessing them much quicker, so your PC will feel much more responsive. 1. Open the Start Screen or Start Menu and type “defrag”. 2. Open Disk Defragmenter/Optimize Drives and check when the last defragmentation was.

3. Turn on automatic defragmentation if it’s off. 4. Run Analyze, and if the results show a fragmented drive, run Optimize. Ideally, you’ll want to have your system defrag the drive once a week. Upgrade your system to make the computer run faster. It’s possible that your system is outdated and the best way to give your PC a boost would be to get some new hardware.

But before you spend money, try optimizing your old hardware with CleanMyPC first. Set up the various PC cleaning options to automatically work on your PC, and then see if that helps make your computer faster. If it’s still slow, then fine, it may be time to reach for the wallet.

There are two purchases that would make the biggest difference for your PC: RAM and an SSD. RAM stands for random access memory, and it’s what programs use to run. When there isn’t enough available RAM, your PC slows down. Adding a new stick of RAM or replacing your current sticks with faster and bigger RAM will have a significant effect on the speed of your PC.

The other hardware solution to look for would be a new SSD. Solid State Drives are much faster than regular hard disks, although they are also more expensive. Plus, you should use the SSD for your system drive, which would mean a fresh installation of Windows. You’ll have to decide if you’re willing to make all the effort, but if you do, the results could be worth it.
