Well, I'm in humidity-rich Florida, the land where we can bend 
potatoe chips.  But I found I can get my flax crispy dry by carrying 
it around in the back of the car for a few days.  Helps to have an 
understanding husband (or at least one who knows I'm crazy but not 
dangerous as long as he humors me).
