Taste Like Heaven (2025)

Hello folks,

It’s been a long time since we talked last time. Today I am writing about the connection between nature and humans. The first book of Moses, Genesis talks about a beautiful story about creation. God created Nature and after a thought, He created Humans.
The unfortunate story of that story suggests that we and nature are separate from one another. That we came alone separate from this planet. Well, this is a big problem because, actually, we are created by nature. The significance is as the fate of nature goes, so does the fate of humans.
Here comes the biggest problem, humans have been destroying nature and precipitating what is called the sixth mass extinction of life. They are forgetting the most important part that if Nature goes down, so does humanity, because we are nature. So people, let us wake up people. A long time ago, indigenous people believed that the planet is a garden, and they were here as gardeners to help create that beauty of the garden. So, let us wake up this original belief again. We should stop using Earth and start working with Earth. That is how evolution will take us into the future.
We think we are the smart, intelligent creatures on this planet and the rest are less or with no intelligence. But this is not true, and here is the fact why. The Human Body is made of thousands of cells, and these cells are the intelligent part of the human body, we are just a collective expression of cyber intelligence. Well, nature is imputed with all this intelligence. When we start to take the stanza, we have dominion over nature, it is then when our civilization will start to fall from Grace. The significance is, we are nature, we are not controllers of nature. We are the ones who are supposed to live in harmony with the Garden. Simple fact: a garden is not a battleground, but we turned it into a battleground. A garden is highly cooperative, and this is what nature is asking humans to do, to wake up and start to live in harmony and cooperation with it.
If you are looking at yourself as a single organism or entity, well when you look in the mirror and see that single organism, a human body is a community of 50 trillions of human cells. Even more, there are more cells we call the microbiome. We are covered with 10 times as many as the microbiome such as bacteria and fungus and these are part of our life, and we cannot survive without them. The health of this community of 50 trillion cells depends on them. They have also the same functions as you do, like respiration, digestion, excretion, nervous system, and even an immune system. So, the significance is, who is organizing all of this community; it’s the brain. The brain does not tell the lungs how to breathe, or the digestive system how to work, the brain is coordination. If we screw up this coordination, then the whole community starts to fall apart. So, we come to a wise fact “Harmony and Community is Health; Disharmony and Community is Disease.”
So, if we want to heal ourselves, we do not have to worry about the genetics of the cells, it is actually, the consciousness, the government by which the 50 trillion cells are living their lives.
How are your thoughts today? Are they positive? Are they negative?
Well, your thoughts are the political voice of the 50 trillion citizens under your skin. When your thoughts are in harmony, so is our community.
Let us look at health in a different way. A political situation VS a molecular genetic situation. It is the politics of health that we understand. Before, they used to teach us at universities that biology is the study of independent systems of study, but research showed us that we cannot study individual systems alone. the human bodies are a whole organism. It is a process of community where all organisms are integrated together. So, it is a whole different approach today we call it system biology where we study all systems in connection one with the other. For example, the heart in relation to the brain, the heart in relation to the gut, and the heart in relation to behaviors. So, every organ is connected to every other organ and works as a system. The beautiful new view is not to study how a single organ works, because it is connected to everything else. As a result, if we understand the interconnectivity of the organs, then we can understand the whole process of the human. So, we are going from the reductionism of studying the pieces into holism, studying how all the pieces come together and create a whole. That knowledge is empowering, if you understand it, you can have more power in creating your life.

Hello Folks
Today we are going to talk about the benefits of cold shower:
The seven benefits of bathing in cold water:
Cryotherapy= Cold Therapy. This therapy is based on the definition Hormesis. This means putting low stress to get great effect. Based on how many times our body has been in starvation and cold, we get greater effect. So, taking a cold shower will increase the norepinephrine, and when this neurotransmitter increases it leads to the following points.
1. Decreases muscle pain
2. Decreases joint pain
3. Speed recovery
4. Increase cognition
5. Increase mood
6. Increases metabolism
7. 20 minutes of cold water increases norepinephrine 200-300%
8. Decreases inflammation
9. Increases mitochondria (Energy responsible Part of a cell)
10. Increases cell formation

Hello Folks,
Here again I will talk about sugar(carbs) and the its effect on human body.
The Biggest secret, Insulin Resistance
What is Insulin?
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps glucose in your blood enter cells in your muscle, fat, and liver, where it is used for energy. Glucose comes from the food you eat. The liver also makes glucose in times of need, such as when you are fasting. When blood glucose (blood sugar) levels rise after you eat, your pancreas releases insulin into the blood. Insulin then lowers blood glucose to keep it in the normal range.
What is insulin resistance (IR)?
Insulin resistance is when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver do not respond well to insulin and cannot easily take up glucose from your blood. As a result, your pancreas makes more insulin to help glucose enter your cells. If your pancreas makes enough insulin to overcome your cells’ weak response to insulin, your blood glucose levels will stay in the healthy range. If not, then you are in the middle zone which is called prediabetic.
Causes of Insulin Resistance
• If you are overweight or obese
• Having a high-calorie diet, high-carbohydrate, or high-sugar diet
• Sedentary lifestyle – taking little physical activity
• Taking high doses of steroids over an extended period
• Having chronic stress
• Having Cushing’s disease or polycystic o***y disease
What is prediabetes?
Prediabetes means your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have some insulin resistance or whose beta cells in the pancreas are not making enough insulin to keep blood glucose in the normal range. Without enough insulin, extra glucose stays in your bloodstream rather than entering your cells. Over time, you could develop type 2 diabetes.
Who is more likely to develop insulin resistance or prediabetes?
People who have genetic or lifestyle risk factors are more likely to develop insulin resistance or prediabetes. Risk factors include
• Overweight or obesity
• Age 45 or older
• A parent, brother, or sister with diabetes
• Physical inactivity
• Health conditions such as high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol levels
• A history of gestational diabetes (during pregnancy)
• History of heart disease or stroke
• polycystic o***y syndrome, also called PCOS
• People who have metabolic syndrome—a combination of high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and large waist size—are more likely to have prediabetes.
• Certain medicines, such as glucocorticoids
• Hormonal disorders, such as Cushing’s syndrome and acromegaly
• Sleep problems, especially sleep apnea
Although you cannot change risk factors such as family history, age, or ethnicity, you can change lifestyle risk factors around eating, physical activity, and weight. These lifestyle changes can lower your chances of developing insulin resistance or prediabetes.
Research have found, most of the diseases are causally linked to Insulin Resistance. Yet doctors treat these diseases separately with different drug as if they different entities without realizing they are linked to insulin.
• Insulin Resistance causes metabolic syndromes (Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke. The term "metabolic" refers to the biochemical processes involved in the body's normal functioning).
• High Blood pressure
• Cholesterol/Triglycerides
• Belly fat
• Fatty liver
• Diabetes:
a. Having diabetes will cause kidney damage and kidney failure eventually.
b. Eye problems such as diabetic retinopathy (damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the retina), diabetic macular edema (is an accumulation of fluid in the retina due to leaking blood vessels), cataracts, and glaucoma. Over time, diabetes can cause damage to your eyes that can lead to poor vision or even blindness.
c. Heart problems: over time, diabetes can damage your blood vessels and the nerves that control your heart and blood vessels. We have clotting, stoke, plague, arrhythmia (when electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats do not work properly)
• Inflammations due to lack of absorption of insulin, including:
a. joint inflammation in all forms like arthritis, rheumatoid, Ankylosing spondylitis, Gout, Osteoarthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Septic arthritis
b. autoimmune inflammations that cause the damage of arteries which leads to plague
c. inflammation of digestive track like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
d. inflammation that causes scaring of fibrosis in the liver
• Brain damage also because the cells are not absorbing the insulin, including:
a. Alzheimer’s patients and Parkinson’s show severe deficiency of glucose because there is not enough insulin getting in the cell, thus the cell dies.
b. Dementia
c. Parkinson
d. Seizures
e. Cognitive issues
f. Forgetfulness and fogginess.
g. Lack of concentration/focus

• Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS):
a. High levels of androgen in women (male hormone). Normally, a female should not have a high level of androgen. If found they create facial and body hair, while losing head hair. Belly fat, and deeper voice.
b. While in a male body, IR will decrease the testosterone (male hormone) and increase the estrogen (female hormone), thus decrease the androgen hormone
• Cancer: As we all know so far that cancer feeds on sugar.
• Obesity: insulin resistance is the primary drive to obesity because insulin is the main fat storage hormone.
• High Stress Levels: when stressed, cortisol is secreted into blood streams in large amounts which in turn will increase the production of high levels of insulin. So, high levels of cortisol causes high levels of Insulin. And here begins the cycle.

Bottom line, too many carbs in your diet will lead to massive amounts of insulin secreted in your blood, while protein and fat do not. Eating a balanced diet with healthy carbs will keep the diabetes ashore.

Hello Folks
This is the part 2 of sugar
The Industrial Age
1864: The largest and most technologically advanced sugar refinery in the world opens in Williamsburg on Long Island. With improvements in manufacturing, the production of American sugar increases and drives down the prices.
1887: Lower prices mean less profit, so in 1887, eight leaders in the American sugar industry form the American Sugar Trust with the intention of reducing production to increase prices and profits for all of their companies. After acquiring more companies, they change their name to The American Sugar Refining Company (ASRC). They close facilities they deem inefficient and combine others with ones they already own, essentially fixing the price of refined sugar.
1900: The ASRC creates the Domino Sugar brand to market all of the sugar they produce under one name. By 1907 ASRC controls 97% of all American sugar production.
1906: C&H Sugar Company is formed by Claus Spreckles, a German immigrant who ran a beet sugar factory in California (C&H stands for California and Hawaii). Spreckles dominates sugar production in Hawaii until the 1930s, when sugar plantations are converted for other uses. Today C&H is part of Domino Sugar, and there are no more sugar factories or mills in operation on Hawaii.
A Sweet Public Menace
1942: The American Medical Association's Council on Food and Nutrition suggests that it "would be in the interest of the public health for all practical means to be taken to limit consumption of sugar in any form in which it fails to be combined with significant proportions of other foods of high nutritive quality."
1966: Medical professionals recommend a decrease in sugar intake, noting new studies that correlate sugar consumption with diabetes and other diseases. These studies, and the increasing rates of diabetes and obesity, spark an interest in sugar substitutes.
1980: The FDA considers fat a greater villain than sugar, driving a trend of reduced-fat (but high-sugar) manufactured food. Sugar-related health issues continue to rise.
The Age of Artificial Sweeteners
1879: A graduate student at Johns Hopkins refines saccharin, a crystalline powder 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar but with no calories. It doesn't see widespread use until World War I, when sugar was subject to strict rationing; once sugar became available again, saccharine was shunted to diet foods. A 1977 study reports that saccharin caused cancer in test animals, causing the FDA to place a moratorium on saccharine use, which is only lifted in 1991.
1952: Calcium cyclamate starts appearing in diet sodas. Studies in the 1960s show that it's likely carcinogenic, and the FDA bans the sweetener in 1970.
1965: Aspartame (a.k.a. NutraSweet and Equal) is invented in 1965, and by the late 1970s is used in diet sodas.
1967: High-fructose corn syrup hits the scene.
1998: Sucralose, which goes by the name by the brand
name of Splenda and is a whopping 600 times sweeter than sugar, is approved for use in the U.S. Artificial sweeteners supplement or replace sugar in all kinds of food products, but have yet to prove rigorously measurable health benefits.
And We Come Full Circle
2000s: As artificial sweeteners fall out of vogue, ancient forms of sugar make a major comeback: agave nectar, stevia, dates, and of course honey, which is delicious, shelf-stable, and linked to many health benefits. Nothing beats the classics.
Next post will be about the side effects of sugar on human body.

1 1/2 lbs. cream cheese, at room temperature
4 cups smooth peanut butter, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions:
1. Make the ganache: Place the chocolate in a medium-size bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan; pour cream over the chocolate and let sit to melt for 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, combine the chocolate and cream. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to let rest for 4 hours.

2. Make the angel food cake: Heat oven to 325°. Line bottom of a 10" round cake pan with ungreased parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together confectioners' sugar and flour; set flour mixture aside. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with a handheld mixer on low speed until frothy. Increase mixer speed to medium, sprinkle in sugar, vanilla, and almond extract, and beat until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle half of the confectioners' sugar-flour mixture over egg whites; using a rubber spatula, fold until just combined. Repeat with remaining flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake until top of cake springs back when touched, 45-50 minutes. Transfer cake to a rack and let cool.
3. Make the devil's food cake: Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 10" round cake pan with shortening and dust with flour to coat; shake out excess flour and set pan aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder; set flour mixture aside. In another medium bowl, whisk the coffee and cocoa powder until smooth; set coffee mixture aside. In a large bowl, beat the shortening, sugar, vanilla, and eggs with a handheld mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 minutes. Alternately add the flour mixture and the coffee mixture to the bowl in 3 stages, beating to combine after each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean, 30-35 minutes; transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
4. Make the peanut butter mousse: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioners' sugar with a handheld mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Put cream into a large bowl and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture; set mousse aside in the refrigerator.
5. Assemble the cake: Using a serrated-blade knife, slice each cake horizontally into 2 layers. Place 1 layer of the devil's food cake on a cake stand and spread 1/3 of the peanut butter mousse over the top with a butter knife. Top mousse with a layer of the angel food cake and spread with half of the remaining mousse. Repeat with the remaining devil's food cake, mousse, and angel food cake. Wrap cake in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours. Stir ganache until smooth and spread evenly over the top and sides of the cake with a butter knife. Refrigerate the cake for 2 hours before slicing.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while we haven't met.
Today we are going to learn some facts about sugar. The article will be divided into two sections: The History- The Industrial Age.
The Detailed History of How Sugar Conquered the World
Humans are hard-wired to like sweet foods. They are tied to the reward centers in our brain, and can actually relieve pain and reduce symptoms of depression, PMS, and stress. (PubMed, 2008). Yet huge quantities of concentrated sweeteners consumed today are harmful to our health. Over the centuries it has been used as medicine, a spice, a symbol of royalty, and an instrument of disease, addiction, and oppression. Here’s a selective highlight reel of just how sugar has shaped our world, from India to Hawaii and everywhere in between. (Food and Foodways, 2011)
10,000 B.C.: Before sugar ruled the world, honey was the queen. Basically any part of the world that isn't covered in ice has bees, and thus honey. So people eventually domesticate bees, and kept the hives nearby.
The Birth of Sugar
8,000: Sugar was native to, and first cultivated in, New Guinea. Initially, people chew on the reeds to enjoy the sweetness. 2,000 years later, sugar cane makes its way (by ship) to the Philippines and India. It was refined in India: the first description of a sugar mill is found in an Indian text from 100 A.D.
327: Greeks and Romans learn about sugar during visits to India. Nearchus, Alexandria's general, writes of "a reed in India that brings forth honey without the help of bees. Small amounts are brought back to the Mediterranean and traded to physicians who use it for medical purposes.
The University of Sugar
500-600 A.D.: Jundi Shapur, a university in Iran, becomes the meeting place for the world's scholars. They studied texts from various cultures, and by 600 A.D. they wrote about a potent Indian medicine: sugar. They also developed better methods for processing sugar cane into crystallized sugar.
Arab Expansion
Circa 650: The Arabs were masters of growing, refining, and cooking with sugar; they begun to conceptualize it not just as a medicine or spice, but as a rare delicacy for royalty and the wealthiest. They combine it with ground almonds to create a moldable sweet still popular today—marzipan. As armies of the Arabs took over Egypt, Persia, India and the Mediterranean, they brought their knowledge of sugar with them. Many European doctors learn about the medicinal uses for sugar from Arab texts. Under Arab rule, Egyptians mastered the refining process and become known for making the purest, whitest sugar.
The Crusades
1099: when Europeans conquered Jerusalem, they learned the details of sugar production. When the soldiers return home, they brought sugar with them. Venice had been trading with the Arab world prior to the Crusades, which gave them a fast inroad to dominate the sugar trade in the Mediterranean for almost half a century. But the sweetener remains so rare and expensive that it’s only available to the wealthiest classes until the 1300s.
Sugar Conquers the Western Hemisphere
1402-1500: when the Spanish colonized the Canary Islands, they took over the plantations and enslaved people to run the mills, and export it back to Spain. In 1493, Columbus brought sugar cane from the Canary Islands to Hispañiola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). By 1516, Hispañiola became the most important sugar producer in the New World.
1500: Pedro Cabral of Portugal lands on Brazil by accident and establishes sugar plantations there. Portuguese growers made technological advances in sugar production: a new mill design that could be powered by animals, water, or even wind, and a new method for refining sugar allowed them to operate on a larger scale. Brazilian sugar production eventually dominates the industry.
At this point, sugar's purported medicinal properties have become widely established across Europe. Tabernaemontanus (c.1515-90) writes of it: Nice white sugar from Madeira or the Canaries, when taken moderately cleans the blood, strengthens body and mind, especially chest, lungs and throat, but it is bad for hot and bilious people, for it easily turns into bile, also makes the teeth blunt and makes them decay. As a powder it is good for the eyes, as a smoke it is good for the common cold, as flour sprinkled on wounds it heals them. With milk and alum it serves to clear wine. Sugar water alone, also with cinnamon, pomegranate and quince juice, is good for a cough and a fever. Sugar wine with cinnamon gives vigor to old people, especially sugar syrup with rose water which is recommended by Arnaldus Villanovanus. Sugar candy has all these powers to higher degree.
Sugar and Slavery
1583: São Tomé, starts exporting slaves to Brazil and other New World islands to work on sugar plantations. By the late 16th century, Brazil out-produces all of the New World colonies and the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean sugar industry collapses.
1600s: At this point, coffee, tea, and chocolate have made their way to Europe. Their arrival drastically increased sugar consumption, making sugar more popular than alcohol ever did, and increasing demand.
1807: Thomas Jefferson signs a bill that prohibits importing slaves to the U.S. Shortly after, the British House of Lords passes an act for the abolition of the slave trade. But slavery remains a widespread practice for the sake of sugar plantation.
1817: Ribbon Cane, a fast-maturing sugarcane variety that grows well in the Louisiana territory's swampy climate, is introduced. The new production was enough for the Congress to pass tariffs on imported sugar, raising demand for cheap slave labor to grow the American sugar industry.
Rise of the Sugar Beet
1747: Prussian chemist Andrea S. Margraff discovers that sucrose can be derived from beets.
1801: Franz Carl Achard, a student of Margraff, is credited as the first person to extract sugar from beets on a commercial level.
1815: The beet sugar industry thrives in Europe through the Napoleonic Wars, though Napoleon was the subject of much ridicule for supporting the industry. When the wars end, cheap Caribbean sugar is once again exported to Europe, severely damaging the sugar beet business.
1837: Vilmorin, a French seed company, creates the sugar beet, which has a high sucrose content and a structure designed for optimal sugar extraction. As slavery dies out in the Caribbean, European governments enact policies to support their beet growers. With governmental support, the European beet sugar industry expands through the 20th century.

Hello Folks
Today we are going to talk about oils.
We all need a small amount of fat in your diet for healthy functioning. Oils are of two kinds: The virgin unrefined healthy oils versus the chemically processed oils. According to Harvard Medical School, healthy oils help you absorb vitamins, encourage healthy cholesterol levels and support a variety of crucial body functions like providing energy and building cell membranes. It is also important to choose these oils and fats with a high enough smoke point to withstand the kind of heat you need for your specific type of cooking without burning and losing their nutritional benefits.
Here are five of the best oils for a healthy body:
1. Unrefined Avocado Oil: Avocado oil is extracted from creamy avocados, which are rich in fatty acids and healthy nutrients. With an extremely high smoke point and a mild flavor, avocado oil is exceptionally versatile. Use it for searing, roasting, grilling, frying, or sautéing lean meat or vegetables, or drizzle it on your fresh salads as a refreshing dressing.

2. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: Solid at room temperature, coconut oil is extracted from the fruit of coconut palms and boasts a high saturated fat content. With a similar consistency to butter, coconut oil can replace butter endeavors. Use it for frying eggs, sautéing vegetables and incorporating into any low-heat baking you embark on.

3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Available in extra virgin cold and regular olive varieties. Olive oil is rich in phenolic compounds which works to reduce oxidative stress on the body and preserve their essential polyunsaturated fat content. It is packed with antioxidants and monounsaturated, and is produced from the first olive pressing. However, it has a low smoke point, so it is best for drizzling over salads and sautéed vegetables or adding to sauces for extra flavor and nutrients. Regular olive oil, on the other hand, has a higher smoke point and can be used for medium-heat cooking like sautéing.
4. Palm Oils: As a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of palms, palm oil is an unrefined, distinct oil high in saturated fat. While there are multiple kinds of oil derived from the palm tree, the healthiest common and useful type of palm oil is red palm oil with a subtly warm flavor and a rich red tone. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for almost any type of cooking — especially frying — and its flavor will enhance a variety of dishes.
5. Lard: Derived from pig fat, lard may sound unhealthy, but it actually contains mostly monounsaturated fats and has no trans-fat at all, making it a heart-healthy choice for cooking dishes. In fact, lard has even less saturated fat than butter, and it helps to lower cholesterol levels.

On the other hand, processed common vegetable oils include soybean oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and canola oil were not available until the 20th century, when the technology to extract them became available. They are extracted by using either a chemical solvent or oil mill. Then they are often purified, refined, and sometimes chemically altered by hydrogenating them. They are labeled "heart-healthy" and recommended as an alternative to sources of saturated fat, such as butter, lard, and tallow. Consider avoiding the following plant oils due to their high omega-6 contents:
Soybean oil
Corn oil
Cottonseed oil
Sunflower oil
Peanut oil
Sesame oil
Rice bran oil
Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, but the ratio should be about 1:1. However, this ratio in the Western diet has shifted dramatically and may be as high as 20:1. This ratio may contribute to chronic inflammation such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis (PubMed Central).
Tip: Not only coconut oil may be detrimental to people with Alzheimer's disease, it may also protect your skin, hair, and teeth
Recipe of the day: Coconut Oil Brownies
Coconut Oil Brownies are ridiculously moist, fudgy, tall, and rich, with just a hint of coconut throughout. Every bite is pure chocolate heaven!
Ingredients
4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate
1 cup (209 grams) virgin coconut oil, measured solid
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup (96 grams) all-purpose flour
1 cup (80 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (170 oC). Line a 20 X20 cm baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
In a large heat safe bowl combine the chocolate and coconut oil and microwave in 30 second bursts until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before adding in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and yolk, and vanilla. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 35 minutes or until the brownies are set but moist crumbs are still attached when inserting a toothpick.Let cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. These are very moist brownies, they may be easier to cut chilled.
