Before preparing the ingredients for the muffins, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Farenheit (190 C). While the oven is warming up, start making the muffin batter. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix with a whisk or a large spoon until all the ingredients are well combined, then set the bowl aside. You will need melted butter to make the muffin batter. Before you melt the butter, cut the stick into small cubes about an inch in length to help the butter melt faster and more evenly. Melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stovetop. If you are melting the butter in the microwave, place the butter cubes in a small bowl and microwave on medium-low (30%). Check every 15 seconds or so until the butter is almost melted. Then take out the bowl and stir the butter until it’s all melted. If you’re melting the butter on the stovetop, place the butter cubes in a saucepot over medium-low heat. Heat on the stove until almost all the pieces have melted, then take the pot off the heat and stir until the butter is completely melted. Pour the melted butter into a medium sized mixing bowl, then crack the egg into the butter. Whisk the egg until the yolk and egg whites are fully incorporated. Then add the milk and vanilla extract and mix. Pour about one third of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir with a large spoon or whisk until combined. Continue gradually adding the flour, folding it in and incorporating it into the batter. Pour in the chocolate chips while stirring, and mix until they are distributed throughout the batter. Make sure that the batter looks even and consistent.

summary: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into small pieces. Melt the butter. Mix the egg, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture gradually. Add the chocolate chips.

It's generally recommended that you start your sage harvest in the morning. To do so, pinch the bottom of each sage leaf between your thumb and forefinger. Gently pull the leaf until it detaches from the stem. This should be a clean break that doesn't injure the stem.  Sage leaves can be harvested as you need them throughout the year.  Separate dry, dead, or yellow leaves from the healthy leaves you plan to keep. Sage is a woody herb and its stems can sometimes be tough. If leaves can't be plucked easily from the plant, remove them using small, sharp scissors, herb scissors, or a pair of gardening shears. Cut the stems just below the leaves with clean, even cuts. Be sure to use sharp scissor or pruners to avoid damaging or crushing the stems of the plant. To harvest sage in bulk, it is more efficient to remove full stems with the leaves still attached. Cut stems about 3–5 inches (7.6–12.7 cm) below their tips. Grasp the stems with your thumb and forefinger and use sharp scissors or gardening shears to make each cut.   Remove any dead or damaged leaves that you see as you harvest the sage stems so that your kitchen herbs are as healthy as possible. You can store sage stems and pluck individual leaves as you need them. Sage stems can also be re-planted to propagate new growth. Place your sage leaves in a colander and put it in the sink. Rinse the leaves thoroughly with cold water. Place them between two paper towels to dry them. It is preferable to add freshly-picked sage leaves to your recipes right after you cut them. Sage adds great flavor to meats, stews and stuffing, and can be brewed to make medicinal tea. Dispose of sage leaves after a week if you have not used them.  Note that sage is a potent herb, so a small amount will add a lot of flavor to your dishes. If you want to dry sage, hang up the stems or lay the leaves out on a paper towel to dry in a cool place with little humidity. Let them sit for 2-3 weeks. Once they are dry, place them in an airtight container and store them in a dark place out of the light.  Once your sage leaves are dried, they can be crushed easily with your hands if you wish to store them that way. Dried sage is stronger in flavor than fresh sage, so use it conservatively to avoid over-seasoning your meals.

summary: Gently pull leaves off of the stem. Use scissors or garden shears if you can't remove the leaves easily. Trim whole stems if you are harvesting larger amounts of sage. Rinse and dry off your sage leaves thoroughly before using them. Use fresh sage leaves within a week of harvesting them. Dry sage leaves for 2 weeks and store them in airtight containers.

If you're buying something online or simply paying an individual in Bitcoin, you may be able to copy the information you need to complete the transaction from any type of wallet. However, if you want to pay for goods and services in person, you'll need to have Bitcoin in a wallet you can access on the go, such as a mobile wallet. Many brick-and-mortar merchants use apps, such as BitPay, to process their Bitcoin transactions. To use your mobile wallet, make sure it's compatible with the app the merchant is using. When you download the mobile wallet app, it will tell you which services it is compatible with. The individual or merchant you want to pay will give you the public address for their wallet or account. From your wallet, you'll send your Bitcoin to this address as payment.  Typically, you'll receive an invoice that specifies the amount of Bitcoin you owe the individual or merchant. Because Bitcoin value is volatile, this invoice will only be valid for a brief window of time – maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Many individuals and merchants provide a QR code that you can simply scan with your phone from your mobile wallet app to send your Bitcoin to the right place. Within your wallet app, choose the option to send your Bitcoin to another wallet. Enter the payment information the individual or merchant gave you along with the amount of Bitcoin you want to send them. Then tap or click the button to send the Bitcoin. If you scanned a QR code from within your wallet app, all of this information will be filled in for you. Look over it before you click send to make sure the amount of Bitcoin is correct. Once you submit your payment, the transaction is sent to the blockchain for confirmation. Miners (Bitcoin users with powerful computers) work to confirm the transaction. Typically it takes 10 to 30 minutes to confirm a transactions. Once your transaction is confirmed, it can't be reversed. If you're buying something from a brick-and-mortar merchant, you'll likely get whatever you bought before the transaction is actually confirmed. However, you may be sent another invoice for payment if the transaction isn't confirmed or if it takes several hours to confirm.
summary: Transfer the Bitcoin you want to use to an accessible wallet. Copy or scan the payment information. Send your Bitcoin to the address you copied. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.
