Post one or two chapters at a time. The word count of a large multi-chaptered story posted in one go may put some readers off. Be prepared for a slow start to the number of reviews. When it gets good, they'll come. Is the rating reducing traffic to your story? Is the story rated M? These stories only come up on the main page when a searcher looks for stories of all ratings or with an M rating. It might not be you or your story. If you're confident your story looks inviting but you're still not getting any reviews, consider the fandom. Is it very active?  Check your hit numbers. Do other writers' stories get reviews? Lots of reviews? Ask yourself what kind of stories seem the most popular. Maybe you're writing for an unpopular pairing. You may need to be prepared to do some extra work to encourage reviewers. If your fandom is small and not very active, you may have to take other steps to advertise your story. Is there a livejournal community where you can advertise it? A fanfiction.net community? Fandoms can be fickle; maybe it's just not your story's time - or maybe it's time to go on a charm offensive.  Are you new to the fandom? Let other writers know you're interested in their stories. Why should anyone be interested in your story if you seem uninterested in the fandom you're writing for? Review stories that interest you and writers you admire. Be a constructive critic. You aren't the only one wanting good reviews, Try leading by example and helping fellow writers by reviewing their work. Go into detail about the things you like and the things you feel needs improving. Not only will it attract the writer's attention and gratitude, but other readers as well with a taste of your writing skills and insight. What does it say about you? It looks a little funny if you write a story for one fandom but all your favorite authors are in another fandom....

Post stuff on twitter and Instagram to make sure even more people get to see your content. Make sure that there is a link to your Facebook so that they can find you and friend you there for even more content and posts. Try not to overlap the content too much: you want people to feel like they have a reason to follow you on every network, not just one! To give people even more of a connection to you, have a blog. This can be on Facebook but keeping it on a separate site would be better, since it will help increase your audience. Make sure your blog content is just as interesting and personal, so that people are invested in the things you write down. Have a link to your Facebook and encourage people to friend you there. If you do have a blog, find ways to advertise your blog elsewhere to draw in even more people. Find communities which are interested in the kind of content you post and comment, telling them to friend you to find all sorts of cool new stuff.

Posture actually has a big effect on the way others perceive you. If you sit up straight, you will look more comfortable. Slouching gives the impression of nervousness. Make an effort to be aware of your posture throughout the day so you will come off as confidence to those around you.  To stand up straight, keep your back and shoulder muscles aligned. Tighten your stomach muscles and bend your knees slightly.  Focus on keeping your head up and your shoulders back throughout the day. This can make you look taller, making you appear bolder and more confident in the workplace. Refrain from slumping your shoulders or looking downward, as this will make you look shorter even with relatively straight posture.  You can also try power posing to help you exude confidence. This is when you stand in an ultra-confident position, similar to how Superman or Wonder Woman might stand. Hold the pose for a minute and you will look and feel more confident. Charismatic people tend to gesticulate. If you want to look confident, be aware of your hands when you talk. Try to move your hands slightly to illustrate or emphasize certain points. Gesticulating during conversation can help you come off as more confident and charismatic.  There are many different ways you can gesticulate. You can move your hands with the rhythm of your words. You can also use your hands to illustrate something. You can, for example, draw a shape in the air when trying to describe a type of building. Make sure not to overdo it, however. If you're moving your hands too wildly, gesticulation can look out of control, which won't come off as confident. Try to keep your hand motions steady while gesticulating. Fidgeting is one of the biggest signs of anxiousness, so make sure not to fidget. Tapping your legs, picking at your face, or otherwise moving around during conversation will not exude confidence. Unless you're gesticulating, strive to keep your body movements relatively still. Keep in mind, you may fidget without realizing it. Maybe people have nervous...

Potato curry can be complemented by many different types of spices, proteins, and vegetables. Try adding one cup of fresh cooked peas in the saucepan, and mix with the potatoes and spices. Chop two cups of fresh spinach, and add it to the potato curry as it is cooking on the stove. Mix the spinach in well with the other ingredients. Cook about 4 oz. of chicken in a separate pan until it is fully cooked. Cut the chicken into small pieces, and add it in with the other ingredients as they are cooking on the stove. After you add the potatoes, mix in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and 2 tbsps of sour cream for a thick, creamy mixture. This is just a starting base. You can add more or less depending on how thick or creamy you want your dish.

Potato curry requires many spices, and it is important to make sure you have each one before you start cooking. Here is a list of ingredients you will need:  2 cups of quartered potatoes 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 medium size tomato 1/2 tsp red chili powder 1 green chili chopped 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp kasuri methi (dried methi leaves) 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh curry leaves 1/8 tsp turmeric 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp cumin 1 pinch of hing 1 tsp salt 1 large saucepan and medium pot Stirring spoon and knife If your local grocery store does not carry them, try searching at a designated spice store or online. As you are cooking, it is much easier to have your ingredients already measured and ready so you do not have to waste time measuring each one out as you have food cooking on the stove.

Potato plants should be wet, but not soaked. Check the moisture level of your plants before you water them. Typically, potato plants get watered up to 2 times a week.  You can use a watering can or garden hose. To check the moisture level, insert your finger 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) into the dirt. If the dirt is dry, you can water your potatoes. When you notice potato sprouts poking above the soil level, replenish your soil or compost. Potatoes grow best when completely underground. Potatoes begin to sprout above the soil in 5-7 days. In addition to replenishing the soil, you should cover your potato plants with mulch to help maintain moisture. Do this after you add more soil to your plants. Pour your mulch over your garden bed, and use a rake to spread it across.  This locks in moisture so your potatoes can grow to optimal size very quickly. If growing potatoes in containers, you can use a garden spade instead of a rake. Red potatoes grow to full size in about 100 days. The potato shoots grow flowers when they are fully grown, and then the flowers fade and wilt when their growth cycle is complete. At this point, you can use a shovel or a garden spade to dig up your potatoes. Use a knife to cut off the roots. Be sure to wash your potatoes thoroughly!

Pound stakes in the ground If you are building a lean-to or Quonset, you can reinforce your frame with rebar and PVC or a non toxic variant.  Pound rebar into the ground every 4 feet (1.2 m). Leave 48 inches (121.9 cm) protruding from the ground.  Once the rebar is set, you can loop 20-foot sections of tubing over the rebar to create your frame. Stretch your plastic film (preferably a non toxic type of plastic) over the frame and attach it to beams at the bottom. Small, loose gravel allows for extra drainage in a greenhouse environment. Hire builders to pour concrete, if you need a foundation. They will need to bring in concrete forms and pour the floor of your greenhouse before it can be framed. Untreated wood can degrade in as little as 3 years. Choose your wood treatment carefully. Some wood treatments require that the food is no longer listed as “organic” or safe for consumption because of the use of chemicals. Consider a treatment like Erdalith, which has limited leaching properties.  Use metal supports in place of wood supports whenever possible. You may be able to simply bolt film to wood.  The more expensive the covering, such as glass, fiberglass, or double walled plastic, the more time you should take to seal it to the foundation and frame. Research the best procedure for the covering of your choice.

Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of distilled water into a spray bottle. Make sure the bottle is large enough that there is approximately 2-inches (5-cm) of space at the top of the bottle. You can use a plastic or glass spray bottle for the hair protectant spray. With the water in the bottle, mix in 1 tablespoon (13 g) of melted coconut oil and 4 drops of almond oil. It usually helps to use a medicine dropper to add the oils to the bottle. You can substitute argan or grapeseed oil for the almond oil if you prefer. When the water and oils are mixed in the bottle, squeeze a quarter-sized amount of your favorite conditioner into the palm of your hand. Carefully transfer it into the bottle with the other ingredients. You can use whatever conditioner that you like, but be sure that it contains silicones. They are the ingredients that help coat your hair to protect it. Once all of the ingredients are in the spray bottle, mix them together by shaking the bottle well. The spray may separate when you’re storing it, so remember to shake it before each use. Don’t be concerned if the mixture has some lather or suds after you shake it together. That’s entirely normal. The spray will settle into a milky liquid once it has time to sit. When you’re ready to use the spray, hold the bottle approximately 6-inches (15-cm) from your head and mist it over your hair evenly. Work the spray through your hair with your fingers, and heat style as usual.

Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or steak drippings into a skillet and turn the heat to medium. Peel a shallot and 1 clove of garlic. Use a sharp knife to mince the shallot, so you get 1/3 cup (35 g). You should also mince the garlic. Stir the minced shallot and garlic into the hot oil. Stir and cook the aromatic mixture until the shallot softens. This should take 1 to 2 minutes. Keep the heat on medium and stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cognac or brandy, 2 cups (475 ml) of beef stock or broth, and 1 tablespoon (8 g) of coarsely crushed black peppercorns. Get out a small bowl and pour 1/3 cup (80 ml) of heavy cream into it. Add 4 teaspoons (10 g) of cornstarch and whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk the mixture into the skillet with the sauce. Whisk 2 to 3 teaspoons (10 to 15 g) of Dijon mustard into the skillet and bring the sauce to a gentle bubble. Simmer the sauce until it's as thick as you like. This could take 5 minutes (for a thinner sauce) to 30 minutes (for a very thick sauce). Serve the classic peppercorn sauce with your favorite steak. Store the leftover peppercorn sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat it and use it within 1 to 2 days.

Pour 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of regular table salt into a cup. The salt will help exfoliate and further reduce the smell of gasoline. Place the cup next to the sink so it is easily accessible when your hands are covered in dish detergent. Dish detergent breaks down the chemical bonds of gasoline. Pour some regular dish detergent onto your hands. You should only use just enough to thinly cover your palms and fingers. Pour the table salt on top of the dish detergent. Rub your hands together, thoroughly massaging your palms and fingers. Continue for about one minute. You don’t need to add more detergent when you wash your hands. Simply put your hands under running water to remove the salt and detergent. Dry your hands with a towel when you are done.

Pour 1 ½ cup of flour, 3 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ cup white sugar into a mixing bowl. Sift or stir the bowl until the ingredients are distributed evenly. Break up any clumps until the mixture is smooth. Crack one egg into a bowl, followed by 1 ¼ cup (300 ml) of milk. Use a whisk to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Microwave for around 1 minute or until the butter is completely melted. Stir the ingredients together using a whisk until the batter is as smooth as possible. While heating, gently tilt the pan so the oil can coat it thoroughly. If desired, butter can be used instead of oil. Spread the batter around so it is a nice, large circle. Use about ¼ of a cup (59 ml) for average-sized pancakes, ⅛ of a cup (28 ml) for mini pancakes, and ½ a cup (120 ml) for jumbo pancakes. Spread them evenly so the flavor is consistent. Though not required, these additions can give an extra bit of flavor to your Mother’s Day meal. Depending on your stove’s heat and the thickness of the pancake, each side could take between 3 and 6 minutes to cook. Pancakes can burn quickly, so stay alert while they are cooking. If you’re not sure what kind of syrup your mother likes, serve it on the side. For extra brownie points, arrange your berries, fruit, or chocolate chips in the shape of a heart or smiley face.

Pour 1  c (240 mL) of whole milk into a microwave-safe container. Heat it on high for roughly 1 minute. Add another 30 seconds if necessary; the milk should be steaming but not yet bubbling.  Alternatively, this can be done in a saucepan on a stovetop, with adult supervision. Whole milk will work much better than 2% or skim milk because it has a higher fat content. Carefully remove the microwave-safe container from the microwave using an oven mitt. Measure out 4 US tbsp (59 mL) of distilled white vinegar and pour it into the milk. Stir the 2 liquids together slowly with a spoon.  While stirring, you’ll notice hard clumps or curds forming in the milk. This will start to smell pretty weird. Don’t let this put you off, though. Keep stirring! Layer 3 or 4 paper towels on a plate to absorb the moisture. After the milk and vinegar have started to cool slightly, use a spoon to lift out as many of the solid clumps as possible from the mixture. Place the curds in a pile on the paper towels. If you’re having a hard time picking the curds up with your spoon, tilt the container over a strainer above a sink to drain out most of the liquid. Once you’ve placed all of the curds onto the paper towel, fold the dry sides of the towel over the curds and press down. Use the paper towel to sponge off as much of the moisture as possible from the curds. Use a few extra pieces of paper towel to pat the curds dry if the original sheets get too damp. Pick up all of the dry curds and ball them up in your hand. Squish and knead them until they really bond together, like a ball of dough.  The ball of curds you’re holding is now casein plastic! When the milk curdled, the liquid separated from the fat solids and casein protein solids. The fat and protein bonded together in a polymer chain, making it a plastic. Casein plastic used to be very popular for beads, buttons, jewelry, and other decorative uses. If you’d like, knead 1 drop of liquid food coloring into your ball of plastic to dye it. Then feel free to hand-sculpt it to your desired...

Pour 1  fl oz (30 ml) of rum into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Gently tip the pan to the side to ignite the flame. Once the pan has flamed, immediately remove the pan from the heat. The flames will extinguish themselves after 1-2 minutes.  Have the lid for the pan sitting right next to you during this process in case you need to quickly extinguish the flame. Be very careful as you tilt the pan to avoid spilling any of the hot liquid. Tipping the pan to the side slightly will cause it to flame. This is because the hot rum will be close enough to the gas for it to ignite. The sides of the pan will prevent the ingredients from falling onto the stovetop. Add 1  fl oz (30 ml) of rum into the pan and ignite a long match. Hold the match very carefully just above the fumes of the pan to ignite the rum. Pull your hand away quickly and take the pan off the heat. The flames will die down after 1-2 minutes.  Make sure that there is nothing low-hanging over the stovetop while you do this. Don't let the ignited match touch the alcohol as it only needs it to be held in the fumes to work. Alternatively, use a grill lighter rather than a match if you prefer. Gently lift up each sliced banana with the spoon and place 4 slices onto each serving plate. Don't worry about removing any excess liquid. Alternatively, use serving bowls instead of plates. Transfer the ice cream onto the serving plates. Place the ice cream on top of the bananas if you don't mind it melting faster. Otherwise, arrange the ice cream next to the bananas on the plate. Serve the dish immediately before the ice cream melts.  If there is any extra sauce in the pan, drizzle this over the ice cream with a spoon.  Bananas Foster is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream, however, try out different types to see what flavor you prefer. Praline or wattleseed are also good options.

Pour 2 cups (470 ml) of water and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of mild soap such as laundry detergent or dishwashing soap into a bowl. Stir the mixture until the soap dissolves.  You should see a few bubbles in the cleansing solution, but it won't foam up a lot. Keep in mind that heavily fragranced soaps may scent your shoes for a few days. Avoid rubbing the mud into the shoes which will make them more difficult to clean. Instead, leave the shoes to dry completely. Then you can gently brush off the dried mud using your fingers or a small brush. Dip an old toothbrush into the cleaning solution and gently rub it onto the jute soles of the espadrilles. Continue to dip the toothbrush into the cleaning solution as you scrub.  If your shoes have parts made of suede, use a brush designed for suede instead of a toothbrush. Ensure that you don't saturate the jute with water since this can damage it. Instead, try to scrub the dirt out of the soles and then stop scrubbing. Hold a clean cotton cloth under warm running water. Wring out the cloth so it's damp and not wet. Then use it to wipe away the cleaning solution and dirt from the soles. If the soles are very dirty, you may need to run the cloth under clean water again and wring it out. Wipe until there's no visible dirt on the soles.

Pour 2 cups of cold heavy cream or whipping cream into a large bowl and mix it using an electric mixer. Blend it for about 3 minutes, or until peaks form and the cream is stiff. If you do not have an electric mixer, you can use a food processor with a whisk attachment. Stir in 1 can (or 14 ounces) of cold, sweetened condensed milk into your whipped cream. If you wish to add some vanilla flavoring, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir it until you achieve a uniform color. You will need about ⅔ cups of crushed Oreo cookies. The crushed pieces can be as large or as small as you want them to be, but overall, pieces should be no larger than your thumbnail. You can even have a combination of large and small pieces. Consider crushing the cookies in smaller batches of 5-10 cookies at a time, as opposed to all at once. You can crush or crumble your cookies in various ways:  Place some cookies into a blender or food processor and blend them for a few seconds. You can get some finely-ground up cookies. Chop up whole cookies into smaller pieces with a knife. This will give you some larger and smaller chunks. Place the cookies into a large, resealable bag, and smash them by hitting them with a mallet, or going over them with a rolling pin. Crumble the cookies with your fingers. This will leave you with mostly large chunks. Using a spatula, fold the crumbled cookies into the mixture.Keep folding and stirring until the cookie bits are spread throughout the mixture. You want an even consistency. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and put it into the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 6 hours.

Pour 3 tablespoons (44 ml) of extra-virgin olive oil into a large saucepan and turn the burner to medium. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and garlic. Sauté the mixture until the onion softens a little and the garlic becomes fragrant.Stir the onion and garlic frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. While the onion and garlic cook, place the squid bodies on a cutting board. Cut across each squid to make rings. If you also have the squid tentacles, slice them in 1/2 widthwise. Ask the person at the seafood counter to clean the squid for you. If they can't, cut the squid in 1/2 to separate the tentacles. Pull the head from the body and peel the thin skin off of the squid. Rinse the squid before you slice it. Put the calamari rings into the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Slowly pour in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of dry white wine and stir the mixture.  For a dry white wine, consider using sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, or pinot grigio. If you don't want to cook with alcohol, substitute vegetable stock for the wine.

Rest the lip of the steamer rack on the edge of the pot. Immediately cover the pot to keep the steam inside. Let the edamame cook for at least 5 minutes or until the bean pods are tender. If the bean pods are not fully cooked after 5 minutes, keep them in the steamer pot for an additional 2 minutes before checking them again. Hold the steamer rack with oven mitts and dip the entire rack into a bowl filled with ice water. Take the rack out of the bowl immediately so the beans don’t get too cold.

Pour a couple ounces of cooking oil into a small bowl. The exact type of oil you use is up to you—vegetable, canola, peanut or olive oil will all work just fine. Dip the tip of a basting brush into the oil and spread a small amount over the outside of each slice until they glisten.  The addition of oil will crisp and brown the potatoes similar to frying. Use an oil that has a high smoke point. Microwave heating is intense and direct, and can easily cause oils with low smoke points to burn. Grab a generous pinch of kosher salt and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the slices. Feel free to add whatever other spices or seasonings you’d like as well, such as cracked black pepper, seasoned salt, garlic salt or onion powder.  Season to taste, using as much or as little of each spice as you wish. Experiment with different combinations of seasonings to create your own flavored chip varieties. Transfer the slices to a spacious mixing bowl. Toss them lightly a few times using a circular motion. This will help the oil and seasonings coat the potato slices more thoroughly.  You can also use a large Ziploc bag to shake the chips, oil and seasonings together. Shake off excess oil before cooking the potatoes to keep from getting oversaturated. In order to cook the potatoes, you’ll have to microwave them in small batches. Place as many slices as you can fit in a single layer onto a plate or platter lined with paper towels. Make sure that each slice is lying flat and you’ve left a little space between them.  Separating the slices will ensure that the heat will be distributed properly. Microwave the chips on a bacon tray to cook out excess oil and bring the calorie count down a little.

Leave the oil on your hair for at least ten minutes, then rinse it out thoroughly. The glitter will wash away with the oil and your hair will feel silky smooth. If you have oily hair, apply your regular shampoo, work it into a lather, and then rinse the oil and shampoo from your hair thoroughly. If you’ve dropped glitter onto your carpet, get out your vacuum cleaner and use the hose attachment to suck up as much of it as possible. Do not use the attachment with the brush on the end, or the glitter will become embedded in the bristles and spread around your home. Follow up with strips of tape to get the stubborn pieces out of the carpet. Get as much of the glitter up as you can by using your broom. Be sure to rinse your broom bristles out later – otherwise, the glitter will spread. Then soak a cloth with water and wipe down the flooring. The glitter should stick to the cloth. Run it under the tap to rinse the glitter off, then continue wiping the floor down until you’ve removed all of the glitter.  You can use the tape method for any stubborn pieces of glitter that remain. Use a cloth for this – don’t use your mop. The glitter will embed itself into the mop fibers and can be difficult to remove.

Pour a small amount of cornstarch over the grease or oil stain. Use enough cornstarch to completely cover the stain. Gently pat the cornstarch into the stain. If you don’t have cornstarch, rub the stain with white chalk instead. Place the shoes upright in a cool area overnight. The cornstarch will help to absorb the oils out of the wool and remove the stain. Avoid leaving the boots near a heater as this sets the grease into the wool. In the morning, use a clean paintbrush to dust the cornstarch off the shoe. Keep brushing the area until you have removed all the cornstarch. Don’t worry if there is still is a minor color difference between the stained area and the rest of the boot. Washing the boot should even out this difference in color.

Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil into a clean frying pan and heat it on medium heat. Popular vegetable oils for frying include soy, coconut, or canola. Avoid olive, peanut, or sesame oil for pancakes, as these oils have very strong flavors. Oil is optional for cooking pancakes, especially if you are using a non-stick pan. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the milk and oil. Whisk the mixture until the ingredients are incorporated, but don't worry about a few lumps. Overmixing can actually make your pancakes chewy when you want them fluffy. This basic pancake batter is ready to cook now, but it can also be spruced up! According to your taste, you can also add things like:  Fresh fruit, such as blueberries and banana chunks Dried fruit, such as raisins and cranberries Chocolate chips Nuts and seeds Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the frying pan. For larger pancakes, use about one-third to one-half cup of batter per pancake. For smaller pancakes, use one-eighth to a quarter-cup of batter. For small, silver dollar pancakes, use one tablespoon of batter per pancake. When the center of your pancake batter is full of bubbles that are starting to burst, the pancake is ready to flip. Continue cooking on the other side for one to two minutes, until it’s golden brown. To keep your pancakes warm, keep them in a warming drawer, cover them with foil, or place them on a baking sheet and kept warm in an oven on its lowest heat. Repeat this process until all the batter is gone and the pancakes are all cooked. Add a splash of oil before adding new batter.

Pour about an ounce of water over the affected area, just enough to cover the dent and a small part of the surrounding wood. Make sure the dent is completely wet. Pooling inside the depression itself is a good sign that the spot has been thoroughly soaked.  Using an eyedropper or kitchen baster will give you more control over where you apply the water. If there’s any serious breakage or chipping around the dent, you may need to have the surface repaired professionally to avoid making it worse. Wet the cloth or paper towel and wring out the excess water, then lay it directly on top of the dent. This will provide a little added moisture while also creating a buffer that will help protect the wood from being damaged by the heat of the iron.  It may be a good idea to use an old t-shirt, dusting rag or some other piece of fabric that you don’t care about potentially ruining. If the dent is located on the side or corner of a piece of furniture, you might need to hold the cloth in place with your free hand while you steam the wood. Let the wood sit for a minute or two to absorb as much moisture as possible. As the water seeps into the wood, it will cause it to soften and become pliable. Once you apply heat to the spot, the wood will expand and the dent will lift right out. The deeper the water penetrates into the wood, the more effective the steaming process will be.

Pour enough salt on the inside and outside of the pot or pan so that there is a thin layer that covers the entire surface of the copper kitchenware. Table salt will act as an abrasive and will help you scrub problem areas on your pots and pans. Pour enough vinegar over the salt to wet down the pot or pan. Don't pour too much or you’ll rinse away the salt. The acidity in the vinegar will start to break down the tarnished areas in the copper. As the solution sits on the pot or pan, you should see tarnish and stains start to fade away. If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can use fresh lemon juice as an alternative. Pour enough white vinegar onto a sponge to fully saturate it. Take the sponge and scrub back and forth on the inside and outside of the pot, concentrating on especially dirty spots. As you do this, dirty and tarnished areas should start to become shiny. Sprinkle more salt on problem areas. Spray down the pot or pan under the faucet until there are no more traces of vinegar or salt on your copper kitchenware. Rub over the inside and outside of the pan, making sure to pick up all the remaining moisture from the cookware.

Pour fresh water into a kettle and heat the water until it boils. Try to use filtered water so that none of the impurities flavor the Americano. You can heat the water in a kettle on the stove or use an electric kettle. If you're using a kettle on the stove, give yourself enough time to bring the water to a boil since it's not as fast as the electric kettle. Fill your serving cup with as much water as you'd like. Generally, this is around 2 parts of water to 1 parts of espresso. Keep in mind that the more water you use, the weaker the Americano will be, especially if you plan on adding milk or cream. If you're serving an Americano to someone, ask if they'd like you to leave room for cream or sugar. If so, ensure that you leave space in the cup.

Pour in 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.   Seal the lid on the blender or food processor tightly. Process until completely smooth. Use the pulse setting on high. Put this into the freezer.  You will need to freeze the mango mixture until it is completely frozen. This will take approximately 5 hours. Be patient. Making mangonadas from fresh fruit takes much longer than using frozen fruit because of this step. Add it to a blender or food processor.   This might be difficult if the mixture is very hard. Try using an ice cream scoop or sturdy spoon to scoop out the mixture. Blend the frozen mangonada mixture until it is smooth like a slushie. Top each jar with lime juice and ground chili.   Spoon a little bit of chamoy into each jar. Spread it around the inside of the jar with knife or back of a spoon. Add a layer of frozen mango mixture, then top this with a small amount of chamoy. Repeat this layering until the jar is full. Pour a small amount of lime juice on top of each jar and sprinkle some ground chili as a topping. To do this, pour the mango mixture (from step 1) in several small cups or popsicle molds.  Put a popsicle stick in each. Freeze the individual popsicles until hardened. Cut away the disposable cup or pop the popsicles out of molds. Top each popsicle with some chamoy, squeeze a little lime juice on top, and sprinkle with ground chili.

Pour in about 1 ½ cups (354.8 ml) of water in the bottom of a double broiler. Heat on medium heat until the water is hot and steaming. You do not need to boil the water, you just need it to be hot enough to melt the beeswax through steaming. If you don't have a double broiler, you can also simply heat water in a pot on the stove, then put an equal sized pot on top of it to create the effect of a double broiler. Once the water has heated and is steaming, place 1 cup (240 ml) of beeswax and ¼ cup (60 ml) of coconut oil in the top pan of the double broiler. Place the top of the double broiler on top of the bottom pan. Once you place the beeswax and coconut oil over the bottom of the broiler, they should begin to melt. As they melt, stir the ingredients constantly so that they don't get stuck to the sides of the pan. If you want your wax to be fragrant, add a few of drops of essential oils when the wax and coconut oil have melted and mixed together. Popular oils to use are lavender, peppermint, lemon or rosemary. If you prefer the subtle scent of the coconut oil, don't add any essential oil.

Pour into a heavy based pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer. Stir through well. Stir until the whey water clears and the milk completely curdles. Take a little whey water out and set aside. Add the ice cubes. Allow them to melt completely. Hold taught with an elastic band. The whey water will go into the bowl and the cloth will capture the curd. The curd will become "paneer". Wash under running water until you have removed the lemon odor. Squeeze out any excess water, then hang it up for 30 minutes to drip. Do not disturb it. It should have a crumbly appearance. Knead it well for 10 minutes until a smooth dough forms. Roll into balls about the size of a standard lemon. Set aside. You should be able to make about 13-15 mini balls. Add sugar to taste and cardamom powder. Keep stirring until the sugar completely dissolves; this will make a sugar syrup. Add them slowly, one by one. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes. The balls will go to the corner, so keep shifting them back to the middle with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 10 minutes. However, open every 3-4 minutes to ensure that the steam escapes and to prevent the sugar syrup from boiling over. After 10 minutes, you'll find that the balls have doubled in size. Remove from the heat. Allow to cool completely. Transfer to a serving dish. Place in the refrigerator to chill for an hour.

Pour liquid dish soap directly into the toilet bowl so it can sink to the bottom. Over the next 25 minutes, the soap will make the pipes more slippery so it’s easier for the clog to move through the toilet. During this time, you may notice the water level go down as the clog loosens up. Use the hottest that comes out of your bath faucet. Slowly add the water to the toilet bowl directly over the drain to help force the clog down. The hot water paired with the soap could break apart the clog so your toilet can flush again.  Only pour hot water into the bowl if there’s no risk of it overflowing. You can also add 1 cup (200 g) of Epsom salt to help break apart the clog. Flush your toilet as normal and see if it drains completely. If it does, then the dish soap and hot water worked as intended. If not, you may try again or try to break the clog a different way.

Pour one cup of water into your pressure cooker, or whatever is the minimum quantity required for your cooker to maintain pressure. Then place a steaming basket or other cooking rack into the bottom of the cooker. You may only need a trivet and not a steaming basket or other cooking rack to support the bowl or pot you will place inside the cooker. Locate a heat-proof bowl or pot that will fit inside your pressure cooker. Put your desired amount of rice into the bowl, and the correct amount of water for the quantity and type of rice (one cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water).  Choose a stainless steel bowl for ideal cooking, as it will conduct heat better than glass or ceramics. Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Lower the bowl with your rice and liquid into the pressure cooker so it sits on your steaming basket or trivet. Don’t cover your bowl with anything. Then close and lock the lid of your cooker. Check the instruction manual for your pressure cooker to ensure that you are closing and locking the lid properly. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released.  For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural...

Pour one pound of lentils out of the bag onto a clean, flat, white surface and pick out any little rocks that might be mixed in.  You can add a bit more or less, depending on how much garlic you like in your food. Cooking your soup with bay leaves will give it a distinctive flavor.  Leave the pot slightly uncovered, by using a stirring ladle to prop up the cover. After the water reaches a boil, turn it down to medium heat and cook the lentils for 35-45 minutes, depending on how long it takes for them to soften. When they are soft, but not yet coming apart, they are ready. Use a fork or spoon to check on them, stirring occasionally. Add 1/3 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and a teaspoon or two of salt to the pot. Stir all of these into the soup and allow to boil for the remainder of the time. Once you have determined that your lentils are ready, turn off the stove, and allow the soup to cool in its pot for a while. This tasty soup can be enjoyed on its own, or served with some bread or sprinkled with Feta cheese. If you want to mix up this recipe, next time, then try making one of these varieties:   Lentil soup with lemon and dill. Just add 3 tablespoons (44.4 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh dill to the soup and stir well.  Lentil soup with smoked paprika. Just add one teaspoon of smoked paprika for an extra kick.  Lentil soup with sausage or bacon. Add 1/4 pound of chopped bacon, pancetta, or sausage and cook it in the pot until it's just a bit crisp. Then, add the other ingredients. You can even drain the extra fat or use it instead of olive oil.

Pour the applesauce into a small pan, and place it on the stove. Turn the heat up to low or medium. Wait for the applesauce to get hot enough to make steam. Any type of applesauce will work. If you can't find any, try baby food. Don't use flavored gelatin, like Jello, or the vomit may change color. If you only have Jello at home, try yellow or orange. It will give you a more natural color. Give the vomit another stir. Sprinkle it over the contents in the frying pan and stir. This will help give the vomit some color. If you can't find any cocoa powder, you can use hot chocolate mix or even a pinch of dirt. Set it down onto a trivet or folded towel so that you don't ruin the counter. You will need a small handful of each. Give the vomit another stir to mix everything in. If the cereal has large flakes, you can crumble them with your hands first. If you don't have Raisin Bran or Cornflakes, you can use another type of brownish, flaky cereal. Granola is a great one! Use a spatula to move the vomit from the pan to a plate. Spread it around into a vomit shape with a spoon. If you want to, you can add more oatmeal or crushed cereal on top. Don't get too carried away! After that, you can take the vomit off the plate with a spatula and put it somewhere to gross someone out.

Pour the cold water into measuring cup, then sprinkle the gelatin over it. Stir it briskly until the gelatin thickens. If you are vegan/vegetarian and would like a more firm jello, use 2 teaspoons of Agar powder. You can also use 2 ounces of carrageenan instead. The water should be very hot, but not yet boiling. This will soften the gelatin and make it more liquidy. Don't worry, the jello will thicken back up again. You can use just one type of fruit juice, or you could use two different types of fruit juice for a more unique flavor. Apple, grape, orange, or pineapple juice are all great options.  Take caution when using pineapple juice. Some people find that the enzymes in it prevent the jello from setting properly. Give the jello a taste. If it is not sweet enough for you, add some sweetener, such as agave, sugar, or stevia. Just about any type of fruit goes well in jello, including blueberries, orange slices, pineapple, and strawberries. After you add the fruit, give it a quick stir.  If you want to cut the jello into cubes or fun shapes, pour the jello into a 9 by 12 inch (22.86 by 30.48 centimeters) or 8 by 8 inch (20.32 by 20.32 centimeters) baking pan. If you'd like to add fruit to a fancy mold, fill the mold with ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) of the jello mixture first, then add the fruit. Fill the mold the rest of the way with the rest of the jello mixture; don't stir. This will help create a nicer design. You can also leave it there overnight. You can test whether or not the jello is ready by pressing your finger gently against it. If the jello sticks to your finger, it's not ready and needs to be refrigerated longer. If your finger comes out clean, the jello is ready. You can serve the jello as it is, or with a dollop of whipped cream. You can also garnish it with extra fruit as well.  If you chilled the jello in a baking pan, cut it into cubes or use a cookie cutter to make some fun shapes.

Pour the medical marijuana buds into a medium sized glass or ceramic mixing bowl. Pour the high proof alcohol over the medical marijuana. Continue to pour the solvent until it rests 1 inch above the surface of the medical cannabis. Retrieve your wooden spoon. Mix and mash the solvent and medical cannabis together for 2 to 3 minutes. The constant stirring motion will aid the solvent in absorbing the THC from the medical marijuana. Retrieve your straining device and second container. Place your straining device within your second container. Carefully pour the mixture through the strainer and let the dark green liquid fill the container.  If you are use a bag or cloth, squeeze the contents of the cloth to get out all of the liquid. The liquid is a mixture of the alcohol and the extracted resin from the medical cannabis. The first wash will remove approximately 70% to 80% of the resin from the medical cannabis. This second wash will remove the rest of the THC.  Empty the contents of your strainer into the medium sized mixing bowl. Pour the solvent over the cannabis so that it is fully submerged. Use the wooden spoon to mix and mash the alcohol-medical cannabis mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Place your strainer over the second container, which already contains the dark green liquid from the first wash. Slowly pour the contents of the mixing bowl in your strainer. Allow all of the dark green liquid to run into the container. It is not  necessary to do a third wash.

Pour the milk into a saucepan and cook it over medium heat. Stir it frequently to prevent a skin from forming. When the milk starts to bubble, turn off the heat, and set the milk aside to cool. This recipe makes soft pudding that you serve in bowls. It does not have a caramelized top and you do not need to de-mold it. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer. The more eggs you use, the richer your pudding will become. You are only adding part of the milk. This will help the ingredients blend together more smoothly. Stir the mixture as you pour to help everything mix together. Avoid pouring too fast, or the mixture will curdle. During this time, the pudding will start to thicken. As soon as it turns thick, you are ready for the next step. To help the butter melt faster, cut it into small cubes or slices first. These will give your pudding extra flavor and richness. Once it has reached room temperature, you can continue chilling it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it. Don't place hot pudding into your fridge, or you'll change the interior temperature. Scoop it into small serving bowls, and serve it with a spoon. You can serve it as is, or add a dollop of whipped cream on top. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Pour the oil into a large saucepan and turn the heat to medium to preheat the oil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and insert the bulb into the oil. The oil should be 350 F (177 C) before you fry the dough to make the Cheetos. Pour the cheese powder into a seal-able plastic bag. When the Cheetos have been fried and cool, you'll toss them around in the cheese to coat them. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, corn meal, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to combine everything and remove any lumps that may be in the flour or corn meal. For this recipe, you can use regular corn meal, fine grind corn meal, or corn flour. Corn meal will produce a slightly grittier texture, whereas corn flour will produce smoother Cheetos. Fill a kettle to the minimum fill line. Bring the water to a boil and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour ½ cup (118 ml) of the very hot water into a measuring cup. Pour the hot water into the dry ingredients slowly, whisking the mixture as you pour. Continue whisking until all the water has been incorporated and you have a smooth dough. Fit a piping bag with a large, plain round tip. Spoon the dough mixture into the piping bag. When the bag is full or when all the dough has been added, twist the top of the bag to keep the dough inside. Use a clean freezer bag if you don’t have a piping bag. Cut a half-inch (1.3-cm) hole in the bottom corner of the bag, and press the dough toward the hole to pipe it out. When the oil is at temperature and the dough is ready to go, squeeze 2-inch-long (5-cm) logs of dough into the oil. When you squeeze out a length of dough, use scissors or shears to cut it away from the piping bag. Repeat until you’ve filled the pan with as many logs as you can fit, but don’t crowd the Cheetos in the pan. You may have to fry them in multiple batches. You want the logs to be a golden color when they come out of the oil. If the Cheetos aren't fully submerged in the oil, use a fork or chop sticks to flip them halfway through the cooking time.

Pour the salt into the water and stir until it's completely mixed together. This salt water brine will help keep unwanted bacteria from growing as you ferment your koji. Place the koji into a large jar with a tight lid. The jar should hold about 2 gallons (7.6 L) of liquid so you'll have room to stir your mixture. Pour your brine over the top of the koji and stir it with a long-handled spoon. The thick koji paste will not dissolve into the brine, but the soy and Aspergillus will begin to seep into the water. Keep the moromi in a place with a warm, stable temperature and stir it daily with your long-handled spoon. As the koji ferments, it will probably produce a strong odor, so keep it covered tightly when you’re not stirring it. The fermenting process is what really allows the flavors to develop. You’ll need to give your soy sauce at least 6 months to ferment, although for a deeper flavor, you might want to wait up to a year. Once you feel your flavors have developed enough, you should strain your moromi mixture. Place the solids in a press or a piece of cheesecloth to ensure you get all of the liquid out. Discard the solids from this process. Heat your soy sauce over medium-high heat, then use a thermometer to ensure the mixture stays at this temperature for 20 minutes. Once you have finished pressing the mixture, transfer the liquid to a heat-safe pot and use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Proper pasteurization will ensure there is no harmful bacteria in your soy sauce. Pour your pasteurized soy sauce into a container with a tightly-closed lid and refrigerate it. You may prefer to pour some of your soy sauce into a smaller container to make it easier to serve.

Pour the soup into a pot, then set the pot on the stove. Turn the heat up to medium or medium-high, and wait for the soup to start to steam. Continue the soup to cook until it reaches your desired temperature.  How long you cook the soup for really depends on how hot you want it to be. It will typically take a few minutes for soup to get warm, however. Stir the soup often as it cooks, and don’t let it come to a boil. Reheat smaller portions of soup in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it reaches your desired temperature. Stir the soup well between each interval. Fill the pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of water, then insert a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, then add the buns. Place a tight-fitting lid over the pot, then steam the buns for a few minutes until they are hot. If you are in a hurry, wrap the buns in a damp paper towel, then cook them in the microwave until they are hot. This will take about 30 to 60 seconds. Place about 1 teaspoon of oil and water in a pan, then add the fried dumplings. Fry the dumplings over medium-high heat until they are crisp, turning them often. The dumplings are ready when they are hot and crispy. This will typically take about 2 to 3 minutes. Fried dumplings include pot stickers and Shanghai bao. Place 3 tablespoons (45 mL) of water into a small skillet. Add your steamed dumplings, then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Cook the dumplings over medium-low heat until they are heated through. This should only take about 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, place the dumplings into a dish with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water. Cover them loosely with a lid, then cook them at 30-second intervals until they're hot. Because of their crispy texture, you don’t want to put these into the microwave, or they will release too much moisture and turn soggy. Instead, eat dim sum leftovers by putting them into a preheated oven, and baking them until they are hot and sizzling. This will typically take about 10 to 15 minutes. It’s best to reheat these on a rack, but...

Pour the water into a large pot and add several pinches of salt. Put the lid on the pot and turn the burner to high. Heat the water until it begins to boil and steam escapes from under the lid. To make a single serving, heat 2 to 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.3 liters) of water and reduce the amount of elbow macaroni between 1/2 cup to 1 cup (42 to 84 g). Use a spoon to stir the noodles so they don't clump together as they cook. The water will stop bubbling right after you add the noodles. Keep the lid off the pot and heat the noodles over high heat. The water should start to bubble vigorously. Stir the noodles occasionally and cook the elbow macaroni until it's al dente. This should take 7 minutes. If you want softer noodles, cook them for 1 more minute. Turn off the burner and set a colander in the sink. Carefully pour the noodles into the colander so the water drains. Use the noodles while they're still hot. If you want to make the noodles ahead of time, refrigerate them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the noodles in your favorite sauce or casserole.

Pour the water into a pot and place the pot on a burner. Set the heat to medium. The water should start boiling in 8 to 10 minutes. Once the water starts to boil, pour it into a wide-mouth mason jar or a large, glass measuring cup. Use a spoon to mix the copper sulfate pentahydrate thoroughly in the water. You can purchase copper sulfate pentahydrate online, or from your local hardware store. This will allow tiny crystals to grow at the bottom of the jar. These crystals will be used to grow larger crystals. Pour the solution out. There will be a solid crystal left at the bottom of the jar. Use a spoon to gently break up the crystal. Pour the crystals out onto a plate. Because copper sulfate is toxic, do not touch it with your bare hands. Put on nylon gloves before touching the crystal. Double or triple the knot. Trim the short end of the string. Then cut the thread loose from the spool. Tie the loose end of the string around a chopstick, skewer, pencil, or butter knife. Pour the water in a pot. Set the heat to medium-high. Wait for the water to boil, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the water into a glass beaker or a wide-mouth mason jar. Add the copper sulfate to the water while it is still hot. Use a spoon to mix the copper sulfate until a cloudy solution forms. You should see deposits of copper sulfate at the bottom of the jar. Place a coffee filter over a wide-mouth mason jar. Pour the solution through the filter. The filter will remove any impurities in the solution. Put the jar with the crystal aside in a dark cupboard. Let the crystal set for at least 5 days. The longer you let the crystal set in the solution, the bigger it will grow.  You can leave the crystal in the solution for up to a month. Re-filter the solution every 5 days if you are letting the crystal grow for more than 5 days. Grab onto the pencil or the skewer to lift it out of the jar. Place the crystal on a paper plate to dry. Make sure it is completely dry before coating it with nail polish. Before touching the crystal, put on nylon gloves to...

Pour the water, salt, liquid smoke, garlic, and pickling spice into a large stockpot.  Make sure that the stockpot you use can fit inside of your refrigerator. You will need to store it there in a later step. Place the stockpot on the stove. Give the ingredients a quick stir with a large mixing spoon to combine well. Turn the burner onto high heat and cook the brine ingredients until they just begin to boil. At that point, the brine should be removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Most of the spices in the pickling mix should have had the chance to dissolve, and the same goes for the salt. Essentially, boiling the ingredients together blends the flavors more effectively. Place the brisket in the brine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.  Cover loosely with the stockpot's lid or with a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The brisket should chill in the brine for at least 8 hours, if possible. For a stronger flavor and more tender pastrami, though, you could let it sit in the brine up to 3 days.

Pour water into a pot. Use one tablespoon of salt for a gallon of water. Place it on the stove over high heat, and bring the water to a boil. Also, have a bowl of ice water ready for after you cook the broccoli rabe. Many recipes call for the rabe to be blanched before other methods of cooking. The main purpose is to cut some of the bitterness. Drop the broccoli rabe in the boiling water, leaving it in the water for about three minutes. Scoop it out, and plunge it in ice water to stop the cooking, swishing it around a bit. Drain it well before you continue cooking it. If you don't use all of the broccoli rabe in the recipe, you can store the rest of it in the refrigerator. Keep it in a plastic bag. It will stay good for about five days, though it may last a day or two longer. Place a paper towel in the bag to help absorb moisture.

Pour white glue on top of your plate. Use a paintbrush to spread it evenly over the surface where you want to build your pyramid. This will serve as the base, so make sure that each section has some glue on it.  You can use a Styrofoam tray or wood surface as a base if you prefer. You'll need 140 cubes for a 7x7 pyramid. Start with a corner of your pyramid. Place your first sugar cube in the glue and press down lightly to set it in place. Continue placing cubes next to it in both directions until you have 7 cubes on each side. Fill in the rest of the open space in your square with sugar cubes. Use the gaps between cubes to determine where a 6x6 layer will rest on top of the first layer. Pour glue in a square along the edges of your 6x6 outline and then fill in the middle of the square with glue. Put at least one dollop of glue on each interior square to ensure that the upper layer remains in place. With your glue still wet, begin to place cubes in a 6x6 row on top of your first layer. Line each cube up so that it rests directly on top of a cube underneath it. Do not press down on your cubes as you place them. Save time by setting your layer out on a separate plate and transferring it over by pinching an entire row between two fingers. Place additional layers on top of your pyramid by moving in 1 cube at a time for each layer. Your next layer will be 5x5, then 4x4, and so on. Add a new layer of glue each time that you add a layer.  Do not leave cubes out of the middle of a layer or you'll risk breaking your pyramid. You can use glue and glitter, sand, or paint to cover your cube if you'd like.

Pour your desired measurement of rice into your pressure cooker. Add water according to the type and quantity of rice you are using. One cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water.  Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Never fill the pressure cooker more than halfway with the rice and liquid. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Close and lock the lid on your pressure cooker by fastening the handle of the cover to the handle for the body of the pot, or however your model is intended to close according to the instruction manual. Place the cooker on a burner of your stove. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into an outlet and turn it on. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker.  If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time.  Lower the heat right away after your cooker reaches high pressure, otherwise your rice can become quickly overcooked. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released. For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of natural release, do a quick release on your pressure cooker to open the lid. Tilt the cooker away from you when opening the lid to avoid the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Pour ¼ cup (75 g) of coarse kosher salt into a bowl and stir in 2 teaspoons (11 g) of pink curing salt, 4 tablespoons (27.5 g) of coarsely ground black pepper, 4 crumbled bay leaves, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of freshly grated nutmeg, 1/4 cup (50 g) of brown sugar, 5 cloves of crushed garlic, 2 tablespoons (9 g) of lightly crushed juniper berries, and 10 sprigs of fresh thyme. If you prefer, substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar. Get out a non-reactive container that's large enough to hold the pork belly. Set a small ramekin upside down in the bottom of the container.  Use a plastic, glass, or enamel container, but avoid metal containers since these will affect the flavor of the pork.  When you place the pork on the ramekin and the pork gives off liquid, the ramekin will keep the pork from curing in its juice. Place the belly on a cutting board or platter and cover it with the dry rub mixture. Use your hands to firmly rub the mixture into all sides of the pork. Arrange the pork belly in your storage container so it's propped up on the overturned ramekin. Put the lid on the storage container. Place the container with the pork belly into a refrigerator and leave it to cure. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and flip it over once every 2 days. Return it to the refrigerator and keep flipping it every 2 days for 1 week. After a week, take the pork belly out of the refrigerator. Rinse it with cool water so the dry rub washes away. Use paper towels to pat the cured pork belly completely dry. Put the dry pork belly into a muslin bag and tie a knot at the end. Insert a hook into the knot and hang the pork belly in a cool, dry place for at least 1 week. If you're pressed for time, you can skip this step but the flavor of the pork will be more intense the longer it cures. Cut the pork belly into slices as thick as you like and then fry, roast, broil, or grill the meat until it's completely cooked. For example, slice the pork belly into 1/4 in (0.6 cm) slices and then fry for 7 to 8 minutes to get crispy bacon....

Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of vegetable or canola oil into a large skillet and turn the heat on to medium-high heat. Clean 1 pound (453 g) of tilapia or lupa lupa and remove the bones and guts. Sprinkle the fish generously with salt and pepper. Slowly lower the fish into the hot oil. It should begin to bubble and crisp up as it cooks. Turn the fish over once or twice as it cooks, so both sides become golden brown. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a fish spatula or turner to lift the fried fish out of the skillet. Set the fish on a platter and set it aside. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the oil from the skillet. You might want to pour the hot oil into an old can before you discard it. Avoid pouring hot oil directly into a trash can or down the sink. Peel 4 cloves of garlic, 1 medium red onion, and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of fresh ginger.

Pouring water over the marigold blossoms and leaves may damage or even rot them. Instead, use a watering can to water your flowers at the base of the plants. Try to avoid using a garden hose to water your plants. The force of the water may wash away the top layer of soil. “Deadheading” is a cultivating process in which you snip off dead blossoms from flowering plants. While not strictly necessary, deadheading your marigolds will help prompt the plant to produce new flowers. To keep marigolds compact, pinch off new, unwanted growth. Although marigolds are very hardy, they may sometimes have pest problems. A mild solution of insecticidal soap, which is sold at most gardening supply stores and even supermarkets, will help keep pests at bay without presenting a toxic hazard. Some marigold species are edible. If you use marigolds in any edible preparation, wash them thoroughly first to remove any insecticidal soap residue. Do not eat marigolds that have had chemical pesticides sprayed on them. Most marigold species grow quite close to the ground, but if you’ve chosen a taller variety such as the African marigold, you may need to provide a stake to support the stalk. Use stakes about 2’ high and tie the plant to the stake with a soft, stretchy fabric. (Old nylon stockings work very well for this!)

Practice good hygiene. Take a shower when you need to and keep your hair clean. Brush your teeth and use deodorant, to keep yourself smelling fresh. Keep your hair brushed, your nails reasonably trimmed, and any excess body hair should also be carefully maintained to reasonable lengths. Use only enough concealer, foundation and powder to even your skin tone and cut down on shine. Eye shadow and lip colors should be subtle and use neutral tones line browns and grays. Eyeliner and mascara should be minimal. There are occasions, however, where bolder lip colors may be appropriate. If you are going out for a formal evening, for example, bright red lips may be warranted. When you think elegant women you usually think Audrey Hepburn, Veronica Lake, or Nicole Kidman. And what do they have in common? That sleek, beautiful hair, of course. Choose hairstyles which show off the satin quality of your hair and compliment your features and dress style. This will give you a more elegant look. Good choices for nail polish are pale pink, clear, or a french manicure. But remember that any colour can look elegant, it all depends on how you carry it off. Don't rule out any colour - including black - unless you don't like it. Look at some photos of celebrities' nails at events. They wear all colours, including black, green, and orange, and many of them still look elegant. You may not see when someone smells nice but it will form a certain picture in your mind. Leave a lasting impression by using a subtle perfume, applied correctly. Elegant top notes include scents like:  Jasmine Rose Amber Having good posture will go a long way towards being perceived as elegant. Work on your posture and make sure that you are standing nice and tall. This will also make you look thinner and curvier.

Practice makes perfect. The more you go through your stack of cards, the more you’ll be able to remember. You can set slightly different goals depending on how fast you get the information, but the more times you are able to go through them, the more you will remember. Space out your study sessions. Your goal shouldn’t be to get through your flashcards three times as quickly as possible to skip doing it later. Taking a break between sessions will help you know what information you are having trouble remember. That way, you can focus on that more to make sure you get it right. The best way to help yourself memorize flashcards is to review them in small groups rather than push through the whole pile at once. This will keep you focused on smaller chunks of information, which is easier to memorize. This will also encourage you to pick the cards up for a quick study session between classes or while waiting for your friends to show up, knowing you don’t need to rush so you can get through the whole thing. Take impromptu opportunities to use flashcards. Use odd moments of downtime to review. Waiting for the bus? On hold with customer service? Dinner cooking? Time to use the flashcards! Don’t let yourself zone out, or mindlessly flip through the cards. Instead, find ways to keep your attention up. When you read each card, say the words out loud, or say things like “I know this,” or “I don’t know this.” Staying engaged with the material will help you stay focused on what you are doing.  Try rewarding yourself: Every correctly memorized card gets you a small candy, for instance. Try some movement. Try wandering around the house with the cards. Do a squat each time you do a flashcard. Try doing it while doing wall sits. You may help your strength as well as wake up your mind! Before you begin to go through and review your cards, mix them up a bit. If you just keep repeating the pile, you won’t be memorizing the answers, just the order they appear in. Unless you know that’s how the information will appear on your test,...

Practice relaxation beforehand, and read a paper to have talking points to engage with people at social events. Prepare a comment to make at a meeting, or have a topic from the radio to discuss over lunch. If you have to stand up in front of a large group of people to give a presentation or speech, being prepared will give you extra confidence. Try learning your speech by heart. This will help you to avoid forgetting any important points on the day itself. Especially as you begin to tackle more and more daunting fears, reach out to your support network to help you. If you have to attend a large event, such as a party or conference, bring a close friend or family member along with you for support. Just having a familiar person close can make a huge difference in your confidence levels. If you start to feel overwhelmed, turn to your friend and try to keep your mind off your nerves. People who suffer from social anxiety can find it very difficult to put themselves out there and meet new people. However, this is an essential part of overcoming anxiety and moving forward with your life.  Think of an activity that you enjoy, whether it's knitting, horse riding, or running, and find a group of people in your area who share this interest. You will find it much easier to strike up a conversation with people who have similar interests to your own. If you get invited to a party or event, make sure you say yes. People with social anxiety tend to shy away from group gatherings, but this can cause you to feel even more isolated and unhappy. Make an effort to go to any social gathering (even if it’s only for half an hour). You need to push yourself out of your comfort zone if you want to get better. Taking a class to gain skills is a great way to learn and practice your social skills and assertiveness. Get to know the people in your class and practice your skills with them.

Practice repeating key bits of the language that you hear again and again until you sound just like your Sims. Dialing in your delivery may require you to mimic things like how fast or slow the word is typically said, or the inflection or tone of voice used to say it.  The word "boobasnot," for instance, is often spoken with a quick, angry emphasis to express a disliking for something or someone. Once you get the hang of pronouncing single words, start stringing several words together to form simple sentences, as in "boobasnot woofums" ("I don't like dogs"). Come up with words and phrases from random sounds. Simlish started as an improvised language made up on the spot during the production of the Sims games, which means there are no rules about how it has to sound. If the original voice actors could do it, so can you.  Try to vary your use of different consonant and vowel sounds so it doesn’t seem like you’re saying the same things over and over again. If you like, you can even invent meanings for some of your best-sounding words and work them into conversation every now and then. Exaggerated facial expressions, hand gestures, and other quirks of body language will let your listener know how you’re feeling and ensure that you get your point across. You might jump up and down to indicate excitement, or sigh and roll your eyes to show that you’re frustrated. Remember, Simlish is not so much about what you say as how you say it. Think of Simlish as a language of emotion. Without any hints as to your emotional state, it’s just a bunch of noises. Create a few soundbites using the audio recorder or voice memo app on your device, then play them back and listen to how close you are to matching the voices in the game. Make your character perform the same action repeatedly or queue up a clip of a specific interaction to keep a handy reference on standby. Learning to speak Simlish is like learning anything else—the more you do it, the better you’ll get at imitating the language’s distinctive sounds and inflections....
