Maxi dresses can range from sleek and class to trendy and chic. Research different looks to find maxi outfits for any style dress for various occasions.  Take note of hairstyles and accessories paired with maxi dresses. Search for possible outfits looking at images of maxi dresses online. Search social media sites like Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook for inspiration, too. Flip through fashion magazines or trade publications for ideas on how to style your maxi dress. For example, you might want to look boho or like a lithe Greek goddess in your maxi dress.  Consider keeping pictures of looks you like to inspire your outfit choices. Depending on the style, color, and print of your maxi as well as the look you are going for, focus on one item or piece of your outfit. Keep the rest of the outfit simple. This can help your maxi dress and accessories from overwhelming you.  Keep your dress the focus if it has a bold print or is covered in flowers. If the dress has a lot of fabric and is very flowy, you’ll also want to keep the focus on the dress. Use accessorizes such as jewelry or shoes if your dress is a solid color or simple print. You can also add an intricate hairdo like braids for some extra pizzazz. You can build your outfit by adding different articles to your dress. Remember that you want to keep the focus on the dress or an accessory, so consider completing the outfit with simple pieces.  Check the weather when adding items to your maxi dress. For example, in spring or summer you could add a light cardigan or denim jacket. In winter, you could put a long cardigan or scarf around your neck to highlight her dress.  Match your clothing items. For example, a denim jacket will match with almost anything. Or you might put a plain cardigan with a printed maxi.  Put on a chic and simple blazer to go with your maxi. For example, a fitted black blazer would look lovely with a floral printed maxi dress. Because maxi dresses are often long and flowy and you may be going for a more relaxed look, keep your shoes...

Maxi skirts are very long and need fabric that is a bit heavier to weigh them down. Find a fabric that is a bit thicker so that it is not see-through and will have enough weight to keep the skirt from blowing around. Use a wide band of elastic to create the waistband at the top; the elastic will be exposed, so choose a color that matches the fabric of your skirt. Try to choose fabric that is large enough to be cut in a single piece. This maxi skirt tutorial uses a single length of fabric, rather than two (or more) smaller pieces sewn together. The two necessary measurements to make a basic maxi skirt are your hips and length. Use a soft measuring tape around the widest part of your hips where your skirt will sit. Then, measure from that point down to your ankles (or where you want the skirt to end). This measurement will probably range somewhere from 40–70 inches (101.6–177.8 cm) depending on your height.  Measure your elastic for the waistband by taking one inch off your hip measurement.  This will make your elastic just tight enough that it won’t slide off or create an awkwardly loose band. Add one inch of extra fabric to both the length and the width for seam allowances. Turn the tube of fabric inside out so that you can work along the top stretch of the material. If you have a serger, serge the edge of the fabric to keep it from fraying. Otherwise, use a zigzag stitch to stabilize the ends. Fold the bottom ½ inch of the skirt up and iron it to create the hem. Use a zigzag stitch or serger to keep the bottom edge of the fabric from fraying. Then, use a straight stitch to attach it to the body of the skirt.

Maybe it has been so long since you've really cared about something that it feels like you've lost the ability. But no matter how deep your feelings of caring are buried, they're in there somewhere, and it's time to uncover them. To care is to "feel concern or interest; attach importance to something," to "feel affection or liking." By that definition, who and what do you care about? Make a list of anything that causes you to feel interest, concern, or attachment of any kind.  Write down the names of people you feel attachment to—parents, siblings, friends, and anyone else who has a pull on your heart. If you think about the person often, and you'd miss them if they weren't there, you probably care about them. You don't have to love or even like them to care. By the same measure, write down things besides people you care about. Don't write down the things you should care about, just the things you actually do. Maybe your life is better because you play soccer, or you can't imagine a world without Warcraft. Maybe you care about poetry, or you love a certain movie star. There's no limit to how long your list can be—write it all down, big and small. Be honest with yourself as you make your list, and don't leave anything out. Maybe you've been conditioned to act like you're "above it all," or to hide the things that make you tick. People will try to tell you what you should and shouldn't care about, but you'll have to learn to ignore them for the sake of your own happiness. And in most cases, sticking to your guns and expressing that you care will eventually win you others' admiration. Still aren't sure what matters to you? Take a look at what you do with your time once all your obligations have been fulfilled. When your homework is complete, the workday is over and the chores are done, what do you usually do? The way you spend your free time can be quite telling. You probably use it to do something you care about.  Do you spend your free time calling someone for a long chat, texting your friends, or writing...

Maybe there is a hobby you’ve always wanted to try or pursue but never had enough time for in your busy, passionless schedule. Cultivate your inner passion by going after a new experience and learning new skills. Join a class that will allow you to get better at the hobby, like a class in guitar, drawing, or creative writing. Focus on a hobby that will force you to get out of your comfort zone. Get motivated to pursue this hobby by leaning on the support of a friend or a partner. Join the class together or have the person call you to remind you about the class every week. The support of someone else can help to validate your pursuit of passion in the form of a new skill and ensure you show up to class every week. Maybe there is a sport or a recreational activity you’ve always wanted to try like running, karate, yoga, or basketball. Or a sport you’ve always been good at or enjoyed but have been able to focus on. Join a club or a recreational team in your area and make sure you show up for practice every week. Set aside time in your schedule so the training session becomes a priority in your life. Participating in a sport or joining a team will also allow you to get to know new people and be part of a group that is different than your normal circle of friends. This could allow you to develop more passion for others by being surrounded by new people and new topics of conversation. Make familiar activities less humdrum and passionless by adding a fun twist to them. This will help make your routine more interesting and exciting.  If you tend to sit at the same spot in your home, working on your laptop or reading your notes, mix up your routine by sitting a different spot or relocating to your local library or a nearby cafe. Studies have shown that a change of scene every few hours during an intense study session can actually improve your ability to retain information.  As well, if you tend to take the same walking path during your daily walk, choose a different route. If you go to the same yoga class every week,...

Maybe you always win races at school, or maybe you get really good grades. If you know you don’t get along with your little sisters because of jealousy, taking some time to deal with that jealousy can help improve your relationship. When you’re feeling a little jealous or resentful of your little sisters, remember what makes you more mature than them. It’ll help you feel better. If you feel jealous of your little sister, talk to your parents about it. They can help you figure out how you're feeling. They can also plan to spend more time with you, if you're feeling jealous of the attention your little sister gets. You might be tempted to be mean to her, even when she’s not annoying you. Don’t tease her or mistreat her in any way. If you do, you’ll get the reputation as the mean older sibling, and it can make your relationship worse.

Maybe you are interacting with a new person. Or perhaps you are trying to get a better sense of someone who is already part of your life. Judging someone's character can help you understand them, and noticing how they communicate is helpful.  Pay attention to the amount of talking that is being done. Is the person you are evaluating speaking more than anyone else in the room? If the conversation seems very one-sided, it is possible that the person you are observing is not a very good listener. Controlling the conversation could also be a sign that the person is somewhat domineering. These might not be traits that you enjoy being around. A person's body language is a good indicator of some personality traits. For example, maybe you notice that very little eye contact occurs when you speak to that person. That can indicate a few different things.  Refusing to make eye contact might indicate timidity. It could also indicate dishonesty or insecurity. You can also use a person's handshake to evaluate their personality. A firm handshake indicates confidence. A handshake that crushes your hand might indicate a need to dominate. A very weak handshake can indicate lack of interest. Pay attention to how other people react to the person you are evaluating. The energy level in the room can help you figure out some key things about someone's character. Observe how the vibe changes when the new person enters the room.  Does the room suddenly seem quiet and uncomfortable? It might be that the person makes others somewhat uneasy. Perhaps the room seems lighter and happier. Maybe the person you are observing makes others feel at ease. That could indicate kindness. Does this person seem to give energy or to suck it in? It is always better to add to energy rather than deplete it. Ask yourself if you would be comfortable taking a long car trip with this person. That can help you figure out how you feel about them. Trust is an important part of any good relationship. This is true for personal and professional relationships. When...

Maybe you are jealous of your brother, or he is jealous of you. Maybe you think your brother is annoying because it seems like he gets all the attention. It’s pretty typical that an older sibling thinks the younger sibling is the favorite.  Understand that you and your brother have different personalities and, because of that, sometimes butt heads. You can still be kind to your brother even if you don’t always like him. If you typically feel left out or like your parents only give attention to your younger brother, consider requesting a family meeting or talk to your parents one on one. Very politely explain that you desire a good relationship with your brother and have realized that the conflict stems from your feelings of jealously. Try to come up with a solution together. It's possible that your parents just aren’t aware that you feel this way. Be sure that you aren’t accusing them of neglecting you. Instead of putting the focus on what they don’t do, put the focus on your feelings. If your brother tries to pick fights or purposely does things to annoy you, don’t take the bait. Smile and keep doing whatever you were doing. If you find that you can’t keep yourself from responding negatively, you can say something like “I’ll have to think about what you said,” and then go into another room. Lock the door if necessary. Ask your brother why he is bothering you, but don’t make it sound like you are attacking him. Say, “Why are you (saying, doing) that?” If he continues to bother you, tell him, “I feel (sad, hurt) when you (say those things, do those things) to me.” Make this about your feelings and not about his actions. You don't want to behave in a way that could damage your future relationship with your brother. It might not seem like it now, but when you get older, your annoying brother might just turn into your close friend. We fight most with the people we are around all the time. Time away from your brother will help you have a more positive relationship. If you find it hard to avoid your brother at...

Maybe you are looking for a more rustic look for your pencil holder. If so, use twine, rope, or yarn to decorate your container. Simply take the color and texture of material you want and start at the bottom of your holder. Glue the beginning of your rope with hot glue and as you wind up your container continue to add hot glue. Then, cut off the rest of your material once you have reached the top. Make sure as you wind up your container that you don't leave any empty holes. Once you have created one loop around your container, place a string of hot glue right above it. This will hopefully prevent you from leaving gaps on your holder. Now that you've covered your container with paint, fabric, or rope, you can add any extra embellishments. Maybe you want a glittery can, vintage can, or floral can. For a glitzy can, shake glitter onto your paint as it is drying, or mod podge it onto your fabric. For a vintage can, add a trim of lace around the top or bottom of your can or old fashioned buttons. For a floral can, create felt flowers. You can also hide your holder completely by lining it with small twigs or wine corks. Another fun idea for a pencil holder is lining it with an old map, or a map of a location you hope to visit some day.  You can also add a ribbon to the top or bottom of your can to cover up any ugly fabric or paper edges. The options are really endless!

Maybe you aren't in the mood to straighten up your house, but you want to do something a little more fun. Start by looking around your home and seeing what decorations you could add to the walls. You can also be inspired by going online and searching for do-it-yourself craft projects. Try to find a project that uses things you have lying around the house so you won't have to travel to the store and spend money.  Learn to finger knit. Sew a blanket, a dress, or make some new pillows for your bed or couch. Make photo coasters, Scrabble coasters, or map coasters for your home. Design and create your own jewelry. Create some homemade candles to freshen up your home. Design and make cute magnets for your fridge. Craft a wreath for your front door. Start on your Halloween costume. Make some Christmas ornaments or decorations for the upcoming holiday season. Experiment with baking or cooking by finding a new recipe online, or one that you've been wanting to try from your favorite cookbook, and spend part of the day making the food. If you are by yourself and the recipe makes a lot, consider halving it, or bringing the leftovers to your neighbors.  Bake homemade chocolate chip, sugar, or peanut butter cookies. Make a cake and decorate it beautifully. Prepare freezer meals for the week. Make candies like caramel, toffee, or rock candy. When you have a lot of time on your hands it's a great time to pick up the writing project you have been wanting to start. Maybe you could start a blog about your favorite topic, or you could start a journal letting it be an outlet for emotions or thoughts that you've been feeling. You could also take this time to write a short story or begin a novel. Find an image online that you would like to replicate on a canvas or paint a still life. If you aren't an expert painter it could be good to start with something simple and work your way up to something more advanced. You can also watch online painting tutorials that instruct people how to paint certain scenes. You can also try out...

Maybe you don't want a clean house to be the whole gift, but if you live with your girlfriend, showing you care by cleaning the house is a nice gesture. Make sure you think about all the regular chores, from cleaning the bathroom to doing the laundry. You could make her brownies (mixes make brownies very easy), and you customize them by adding chocolate chips, caramels, candy, or raspberry preserves, anything she'd like. Don't forget to take her allergies and likes and dislikes into consideration. Alternatively, if you want to step it up, try making a whole meal. Pick a simple recipe or play to your strengths. If she's like most people, she doesn't always have the time to keep her car in order. Find a way to "borrow" her car. Take it out, and clean it up, inside and out.

Maybe you don't want to tell anyone about your crush, but you also don't want to keep everything bottled up inside. Instead, write down your emotions in a journal. For example, note what you like about your crush, how they make you feel, what you wish would happen, etc.  Remember that your journal is for your eyes only, so don't hold back! Let your thoughts flow freely and write whatever comes to mind. You can also type out your thoughts in a Microsoft Word document on your laptop or in the Notes app on your phone if you'd like. Journal as often as you want to or need to. You can set aside time every day to do it, or simply write when the inspiration strikes. For instance, you might just journal after you have a run-in with your crush. If you just have to talk to someone how you're feeling, but you don't want to tell your crush, open up to a friend who you trust. Remind them that they cannot tell anyone else, and that whatever you say has to stay between the 2 of you. Then, let the gushing begin!  For example, start the conversation with something like, “I have something important I want to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone, not even our other friends, okay? It's really personal.” Pick a private place, like in your bedroom or in the car, to have these conversations. You don't want anyone to overhear who isn't supposed to. Don't tell your friends about your crush if you don't trust them or if they have a reputation for being unable to keep things to themselves. Choose wisely who you tell. If you're worried about your friends accidentally spilling your secret, talk about your crush to your parents or older siblings instead. They can give you advice on how they've dealt with their own crushes, too. Crushing on someone isn't all bad. In fact, it can be super exciting!

You can also embrace your new romantic side by listening to love songs, watching romantic movies, or reading sappy...

Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that’s the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day.  A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk.  Select your preferred writing tool. You’ll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer.  Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won’t be speaking aloud, it’s still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for.  You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes.  Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write.  Don’t worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you’re actually writing.  In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart.  In order to do that you’ll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you’re not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can’t stop thinking about.  Write about what’s happening in your day to day life.  Write down any questions you want God to answer for you.  Or write about your goals or what you’re thankful for.  Use the examples below for inspiration.  “Dear God, I have no idea what I’m doing in my life right now.  I can’t seem to make good choices or meet the right people.  I feel like I’m drowning in drama.  When will this end?  When will things change for me?” “I can’t even contain my excitement right now, God.  Today I met a woman who works at my dream job.

Maybe you have recently discovered that your husband looks at porn. Or perhaps this has been an ongoing issue in your relationship. Either way, its time to have an honest conversation about your feelings.  Prepare to have an open conversation about the problem. Your first step is to figure out your feelings. Ask yourself why you object to his watching porn. Is it a religious issue for you? Or is it against your moral code? Choose some words that describe how you are feeling. Be descriptive with words such as "frustrated", "worried" or "nervous". Make a list of the things you want to say. This will help you to stay on track during the conversation and make sure that you make your points clear. Talking to your husband about his porn habit is an important conversation. You want to make sure that you allow yourselves time to deal with this tough topic. Take care to choose an appropriate time to have this talk.  Try to avoid having this conversation late at night or early in the morning. You two will not be at your emotional best if you are tired. Give him a heads up. Try saying, "I have something important to talk to you about. When is a good time for you?" Don't rush the conversation. Choose a time when you know neither or you will be rushing out the door to work or being interrupted by the kids. You might have a serious aversion to porn. Those are your feelings, and that is okay. However, try not to base your talk with your husband purely on judgement.  Try to use "I" statements. For example, you can say, "I feel very uncomfortable when you watch porn in our home." These types of statements are more effective than "you" statements. Your husband will likely be defensive if you say something such as "When you watch porn, you make me mad." Avoid eraser words. For example, try not to say, "I love you, but your porn habit is disgusting." Eraser words like "but" negate everything that was said before "but". It is important that you let your husband know how you are feeling. However, don't forget that effective...

Maybe you have sunset-hued hair that cascades down your back. Maybe your eyes are a deep, coffee-brown color. Maybe you have elegant collar bones, strong, sturdy thighs or set of wide, quarterback-caliber shoulders. Whatever it is, don't be afraid to play it up! When you shop for clothes, choose your hairstyle, and pick out colors to wear, think about how you can make your favorite features stand out.  The change you make can be small, like buying more v-necks to reveal your pretty neck, or putting your baseball hats away to show off your high, handsome forehead. On the other side of the coin, you can downplay features you don't want to show off. Don't get too carried away with this, though - it'll be obvious you're trying to hide something. Instead, focus on the features you're proud to accentuate. Hair is one of the first things people notice about each other, so looking your best means finding a style and hair care routine that makes your hair look great. No matter what your hair color, texture and length, there's a style out there that will bring out its beauty. To find that look that works best for you, try the following:    Find a haircut that works for your face shape. For example, longer, layered looks look great with oval-shaped faces, while pixie cuts are pretty on rounder faces.   Care for your hair in a way that keeps it healthy. Dyeing it too much, using glue-in weaves, chemical straightening and other treatments can damage your hair, making it look dry, dull or limp.  Style your hair every day before you go out, even if it just means combing it and adding some pomade or gel. If you're going to a fancy event, take the time to wash, dry and style it well.  If you have facial hair, keep it neat and trimmed, whether you have a full beard or long sideburns.  If you're losing hair, there are a number of  methods you can try to make it thicker.

Maybe you know some other people who share the same interests as the person, or maybe you know some people who have a higher tolerance for annoying people than you do. Try to introduce them to people around your school or workplace that will distract them. Avoid introducing them to mutual friends, because that might make you more obligated to spend time with them. If you are not particularly close to the person, it is acceptable to just end communication. Unfriend them on social networks, ignore or block their phone calls and emails, and try to avoid situations where you might encounter them. Most relationships have a trial stage, during which it should be expected that you might break it off if things go sour. This is not a valid strategy if you have been friends for years or if you live or work in close enough proximity that you can be expected to encounter one another again When ending a relationship with a close friend, you should do so directly and in person. To soften the blow, start off by telling them what you liked about them and your relationship with them. Be honest about why you no longer want to be friends, but do so in a way that is neutral and not offensive. Instead of accusing them of doing something wrong, tell them in an impersonal way what you need in a friend: “My life is stressful right now, and I need to be surrounded by people are relaxing and empathetic.”

Maybe you make $750 a month, have heard that little studio apartments can be had for $500 a month in your area, and have already started planning parties for your new bachelor pad.  But hold up before packing up.  Rent is only part of the cost of living on your own.  Don’t forget about utilities, food, supplies, laundry, property insurance, and so on — all those things your parents probably take care of at home. Adding 30% to your rent is one way to roughly determine your actual housing cost (utilities and renter’s insurance).  So, that $500 studio actually costs you at least $650 per month, without factoring in food, toilet paper, or transportation, among other costs. Ask an older sibling or friend who lives on their own how much it actually costs.  Arm yourself with accurate information so you can realistically determine whether you can afford to set out on your own at this time. You’re ready to be (and be treated like) an adult, and want your own place like one.  Prove it by getting serious about your finances.  Making a budget may not be the most exciting task, but it is a simple and important one.  It really is as easy as recording your monthly income and expenditures.  Do this for at least a few months to get an accurate picture of your monthly budget. There are numerous website calculators and apps available to help you with household budgeting and tracking spending.  But a pen and paper can work just fine as well. Be thorough in tracking your expenditures.  Don’t forget about your morning coffee runs, your video streaming service account, or your bus pass / car insurance.  The more accurate your calculations, the better equipped you’ll be to determine your readiness to move out. While it’s hard to pass up letting your parents foot the bill for your major living expenses while at home, it may be better for you to get into the habit of planning for and actually paying for such necessities.

Maybe you need to use a new technique or change your approach in order to love your job. When work becomes mundane, it can feel more difficult to face. In these situation, changing your approach might be helpful. This is sometimes called job enrichment.  Look for little opportunities to change up your routine at work. Making small changes may make work feel more fun and help keep things fresh. For example, if you are a teacher, try a new lesson plan now and then or test out a new teaching strategy. If you are a cashier, try asking each customer a different question to make small talk. If you are not enjoying your job, then you might be focused on all of the negative aspects of it. To start loving your job, you will need to identify what you like about your job and start focusing on those positive aspects instead. Try writing down all of the things that you like about your job. These can be small or big things. For example, you might like your hours, your coworkers, your responsibilities, and the location of your workplace. Try reading through this list whenever you are feeling down about your job. If you find that you are having negative thoughts about going to work each day, try keeping a list of the things that you are grateful for. Practicing gratitude can help you to feel happier overall and may also help you see your job in a more positive light. Try listing three things that you are grateful for at the end of each day. For example, you might feel grateful that your boss brought doughnuts into work for everyone, or that you got to work at your favorite station that day, or simply that you have a job. Sometimes work may become a chore if little things start to bother you more than they should. If you find yourself focusing in on minor issues at work, such as a rude customer or making a mistake, remind yourself that these are not important in the grand scheme of things. One way to put problems into perspective is to ask yourself, “Will I be thinking about this moment while I am on my death bed?” If the...

Maybe you picture a traditional British tea party, with fancy sandwiches and doilies. Or maybe the guests want to dress up as princesses, pretend to be fairies, or decorate a room as though it were winter, or underwater. Finding out what the guests are excited about will help you make it more fun for them. Keep in mind that some themes require more work than others. If you're looking for a quick and simple theme, pick a single color and decorate a room or table with flowers, objects, napkins, and dishes in that color from around the house. If the weather is sunny, you could host a tea party in your garden or take a picnic to a nearby park. Throwing a tea party indoors is also fun, though, and gives you the option of hanging up decorations. Give cards to your friends inviting them to your tea party, but make sure to check with everyone in your house first to see how many people you can bring over. Remember to let your friends and family know what day and time the tea party are. You can plan a tea party weeks in advance, or throw one spontaneously with your brothers and sisters. Whatever makes you happy!  Ask your friends to bring their favorite doll or stuffed animal. Tea parties don't have to be all-girl or all-boy. Invite anyone who makes you happy. For some people, the best part of a tea party is getting to dress up. If you don't have any fancy clothes or costumes to put on, try making your own silly costumes by asking family members if you can put on their hat, makeup, or scarves. It's a good idea to keep a few extra objects like this around for guests who show up without a costume.  Princess costumes can be as simple as the kid's favorite dress and a paper crown. If you are willing to spend extra time on costumes, sew them from patterns, use face paint, or track down pre-made costumes online or at Halloween shops. If you and the other kids and parents involved want to throw a super special tea party, have each kid pick a character from their favorite book, or from a single popular book such as Alice in...

Maybe you start out by collecting spare change or donating your allowance. Find a worthy cause, and help collect donations for it. Or just give whatever money you have to a good cause.  You could use an online donation site. You can also help by joining or helping a cause that revolves around helping people know about God and His Word; there are many organizations that cater to the needs of less fortunate people all across the world as well as teach them about Christ. Perhaps you do car washes or lemonade stands. Sell your old books. It’s not necessarily how much you donate that counts. It’s the fact you’re giving most or all of what you have that matters. This is another way that you can give back: By getting involved with group activities associated with your church. Try to get involved in your local church's mission trips, whether they are around the world, national, or local. If your church does not have these types of trips, you could bring the idea to the congregation.  Try tithing (giving 10% of your money to your church), or donating some of the stuff you don't use anymore. Inviting your friends to church or youth group are great ideas too. Don’t treat youth group like school, and don’t act like it bores you. Dedicate yourself to God, and show this by always staying happy and cheerful and giving what you can to the group. You could also start/join a Christian club at your school (if it's allowed) Remember that a mission doesn't have to be across an ocean. You could go on a mission trip to a local college or high school and help out staff with some church friends and talk about Jesus to anyone willing to listen. At times, this might be very difficult. You might feel like the only Christian youth around who is open about faith. Stand your ground. Actively develop your relationship with Christ. Get out and interact with people and develop relationships.   Christian youth are ambassadors, not secret agents. In order to change people's hearts, you first need to interact with them. Be as outward as possible...

Maybe you think you have lovely hands, or you are good at drawing. Maybe you once bought coffee for the person behind you in line, just to be nice. Focusing on your positive qualities will help you combat your self-criticism.  Nothing is too small--make this list long, and reach as far back into your past as you want. What are some of your best qualities? Are you creative? Helpful? Kind? What have you achieved in your life so far? Have you graduated high school? Did you ace a difficult test? Did you teach yourself a new skill? Read this list often, even when you're not feeling down. An affirmation is something you say to support or encourage someone--in this case, yourself. It may feel silly, and you may not believe it at first, but start and end your day by looking in the mirror and saying your affirmation out loud.  Write your affirmation on a sticky note a post it on your mirror. Or write it on the back of a business card and keep it in your wallet to remind you throughout the day. Some affirmations include: "I love myself," "I like and accept myself as I am," "I believe in myself," "I am worthy of love." When you make a mistake, what goes through your mind? Do you call yourself stupid, or a loser, or say any number of negative things about yourself? The moment you start having those thoughts, you need to stop yourself. Say it out loud or under your breath or in your head: Stop. Even if that means you have to say "stop" every ten seconds.  Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it every time you put yourself down.  Acknowledge the thought, then imagine throwing it in a trash bin or physically getting rid of it in some way.  This won't stop negative thoughts forever, but it will stop you from listening or allowing them to take hold. Think about all the ways you put yourself down, then imagine doing those things to a friend or loved one. Or imagine someone doing or saying those things to your best friend. Would you let them get away with that? Start treating yourself with the same respect and courtesy...

Maybe you want to humiliate someone, maybe you want to break up a relationship, or take down a government. You might even want to start a rumor about yourself to get more attention. The reasons for starting a rumor are many, but in order to create the right rumor you need to have a goal in mind while you make it up. Decide if there is a more ethical way of achieving your goal. Unless the rumor is true, starting a rumor involves lying and deceiving people that trust you. It may not be worth it. Many of the most widely spread rumors trigger an emotional response in a great number of people. During World War II, both England and Germany made propaganda posters against gossip because the spread of war rumors caused such panic among the public. These rumors spread so fast because they made people nervous and afraid. If you create a rumor that preys on a common fear or anxiety, there will be a strong chance that people feel compelled to talk about it. Try to make the topic one that is relatable to the most people. Most people generally have anxieties about their safety, how they look, money. For example, if you spread a rumor that you won the lottery you would probably find it spread pretty fast and influenced the way a lot of people acted around you. If many people want to believe the rumor is true, then they will take it as truth. If a movie is very popular, it would be easy to spread a rumor they are making a sequel. Whether it is true or not, a good number of people are likely to believe it because they hope it is true. People spread rumors about celebrities because they are jealous and hope to bring down the image of their target. The rumor catches on due to a mutual desire by a large number of people to spread the same impression. A rumor can be shocking, but it should not seem ridiculous. People might believe that you were attacked by a bear and survived. Most people probably won't believed you were attacked by a talking panda with a samurai sword. If your rumor is going to survive, make it plausible. Avoid...

Maybe you want to look like a hot guy or girl, but you're afraid you’ll be judged or looked down on. For some, wanting to be hot has negative connotations of someone being too vain or shallow. Don’t let these stereotypes and misconceptions stop you from achieving hotness. Give yourself permission to become hot. Being hot should be something you want and not something you feel pressured to be. Today’s society puts a lot of importance in looking attractive in a certain way, but it’s not necessarily the only way to be attractive In order to be hot, you have to believe you’re hot. Have confidence in your decisions, in the way you look, and in who you are or want to be. It will also help you bounce back from setbacks and accepting difficult challenges that come your way.  Remind yourself of what you’ve already achieved and enjoy these successes. Don’t forget how much you’ve accomplished and the goals you’ve reached in the process of trying to reach a new one. Don’t put too much importance on how others perceive you. If looking hot makes you feel happy, then that’s more important than what others might think. You don’t have to look like a model. You should be the shape you're happy with. Half of that means changing your body through exercise and eating healthy, but the other half is accepting your body's own uniqueness.  It's understandable to want to reach a healthy weight level, but it's not realistic to achieve a tiny waist if you're naturally top-heavy or try to make your butt bigger if it's naturally petite. Don't ignore your own assets in the process of trying to mimic someone else's. Avoid labelling a certain body type as the “perfect” body. There are many kinds of bodies that are beautiful in their own way.

Maybe you're in town for a family reunion and you just aren't feeling it, so you've found yourself at a diner drinking coffee next to a cute girl. Maybe you're on a trip across the country by bus before you settle down, just to see what's out there. Picking up a girl while you're traveling is fine, as long as you remember to keep it light, be straightforward, and live in the moment. Approaching it like a normal pick up will only frustrate both of you. If you feel as though you have to lie or omit information to pick up a girl, you're wrong. It won't do either of you any good to pretend. Besides, some women find the idea of a date with someone who's “just passing through” intriguing or exciting, because there are likely to be no strings attached. You won't know until you make it clear that you're in that situation. Traveling also makes for an interesting topic of conversation, so you probably won't have to try very hard to find things to talk about. Just mention that you're just visiting for a few days, and ask a question about the local area. Most girls will be happy to answer with their opinion on it, and just like that the conversation will be rolling along. You don't have time to be shy or demure. You want a date, a night out with someone you've just met and are unlikely to see again. The girl won't know you feel that way if you just try to “warm up” to her all night. Instead of getting her number, suggest that she come on a date with you now, before you're gone. Ask her for ideas on where to go, and offer to pay the tab (as usual). The key to picking up a girl for a short-term fling is to show her what you want (a fun night out together) and go for it right away. If you have someone waiting for you at home, don't pursue anyone else while you're away. It's cowardly and unfair, and it will weigh heavily on your conscience long after the fact. Imagine how you would feel if you knew that your girlfriend had a hot weekend with some random townie from five states away at her last family reunion, while you were...

Maybe you've been thinking about running for office for some time, or maybe your friends, family, coworkers or teachers have suggested that you'd be great as a leader. Before you decide to commit to running a campaign, you should spend some careful time reflecting upon desire to run for office. Ask yourself the following questions:  Why do you want this? Do you want the recognition and the prestige that will come with being elected, or do you want to represent and serve a particular group of people? Why? If you decide to run, you'll be asked to articulate your reasons for wanting the position, so you need to be clear on them yourself from the get-go. Why do you think that you'd be the best person for the job? What are your personal strengths? For example, are you passionate and knowledgeable about the related issues? Are you energetic or are you able to connect well with other people? You want to be able to explain what sets you apart from the other candidates and be able to explain how you'll be capable of serving well. What do you struggle with? For example, do you find it hard to manage competing projects? Will this be a hindrance to your ability to run a campaign or to perform the responsibilities of the position?  Just as you ought to be aware of your strengths, you'll need to be aware of your weaknesses, so that you can compensate for them or correct them completely. Do you have the time and energy to both campaign and to eventually do the job, if you are elected?  You'll also need to be certain that you can devote yourself completely to the tasks of running and (hopefully) serving, and you'll need to be able to convince your team and your constituents that you are up for the challenge. Before deciding to campaign, you should start by self-reflecting, but we're not always the most objective judges of our own characters and abilities. Ask to sit down with a trusted friend or mentor, and explain to them that you are thinking about running for office.  Ask them to outline what they take to be your...

Maybe your parents have started yelling at each other in the next room, or maybe they've been ignoring each other for days. Either way, you know that they're really mad at each other, and it may have you really stressed out.  However, it's important for you to understand that it's normal and sometimes even healthy for parents to disagree and argue with one another.  If your parents don't fight all the time, and if neither of them seems particularly worried, you may not need to worry too much yourself about their occasional argument. Even though your parents are older and are supposedly wise and mature, they are still people. We all get tired, stressed, or have bad days, and it's possible that your parents are fighting today for these reasons. Chances are, they'll both start to feel better soon and will make up. Family health experts nearly always recommend that parents don't fight in front of their children (you don't need to know all of the details of their adult lives and worries). Even so, it's important that kids know that their parents do have arguments from time to time.  One of your parents' jobs is to teach you that disagreement is something we can't avoid, even with the people we love, and to teach you how to deal with it. If your parents hide all of their disagreements from you, it may be harder for you to learn how handle those sorts of situations when you are in a relationship. Hopefully your parents let you know that they're not mad at each other once they're done fighting and that they've worked it out. If they always forget to tell you this, and you have to watch them nervously to figure out if everything is ok again, you may want to have a talk with them. Sometimes when we're mad, we say things that we don't mean or that we later regret. You've probably fought with your brother or sister, or with one of your friends and said something terrible like “I can't stand you!” or “I never want to play with you again!”  Once you cooled down, you probably had to apologize and explain that you didn't...

Maybe your partner has been clear that they want to cuddle, or maybe you’re taking the initiative to start your snuggling. Regardless, it is best to start slow. Don’t jump into cuddling - literally, don’t jump on them, no matter how impatient you are. Place a hand on their shoulder, back, or on their waist to show your intent. Rest it there for a few minutes or give a light rub.  Make sure that your intentions for cuddling are clear. You can place a hand on their shoulder, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to cuddle with the person. Caress their arm instead to make sure they understand what you are leading into. Remember that cuddling is often a stand-alone activity, and doesn’t necessarily translate into foreplay. Start slow and work till you're comfortable, not with the intention of progressing things past the cuddle stage. So you’ve done the basics, and are ready to proceed into real cuddling. Before you make the transition though, keep in mind important environmental factors. Is it hot out? Because you might have to limit the amount of physical contact you have in order to avoid turning into a swamp monster. Are you on a couch or a bed? Or something else entirely? The amount of space you have to sprawl will change the cuddling positions you can perform. You’re about to be held down in a hug for quite some time, so make sure that you’re comfortable first. If you plan on doing some long-term cuddling during a movie or before bed, change into comfortable clothes or grab a cozy blanket. Although you might be resting on the other person, having a pillow present might be a good idea too. The PG kind; rub your partner's back, legs, or arms in a sensitive and endearing fashion. This may or may not be the same as light massage. The goal here is to make the other person comfortable and interested in further cuddling with you. When you have transitioned into true “cuddling,” you may choose to continue the light rubbing to prolong the positive feelings you both get from it.

Maybe you’re too shy to come right out and say, “I like you.” Another option is to invite him to spend some time with you. Keep in mind that it’s okay for girls to ask out boys (and for boys to ask out boys). Spending time with him will help you gauge how he feels about you and whether you should start spending more time with him.  This shows him that you want to spend time with him and get to know him better.  For example, ask him to go to a dance or to a sports game with you. Say, “I got two tickets to see the basketball game on Friday, and I was hoping you’d be free. What do you say?” As a shy person, you might do best by preparing to tell him you like him. Decide that you want to do it, then act on it. For example, decide on a specific day and time to tell him you like him. Do something to help you follow through, like writing it down in your planner. For example, if there's a party on the weekend that you know he's going to be at, tell yourself, "All right. I'm going to keep an eye out for him. When I see him, I'm going to wander over and bump into him, then I'm going to tell him." No need to have his friends eavesdropping or casually listening in. As a shy person, you don't need an audience! He will also appreciate your tact and respect for his privacy. Read the situation and pinpoint an appropriate time to talk. If he’s in the middle of talking to somebody, wait for a few moments. Once they walk away, it’s your chance to approach him. Don’t let your conversation drag on too long without telling him you like him. He might become disinterested or the conversation might fall flat. You can start by saying, "Hey Xavier, you got a moment? There's something I'd like to say to you." Then follow by saying, "I've been enjoying spending time around you a lot lately. And I just wanted to let you know that I like you. I was hoping you might feel the same way."

Maybe you’ve been putting off writing a letter or email to someone. Maybe you’ve got a long to-do list in your head, and you should write it down. Taking a long car ride as a chance to do some writing is a great way to keep yourself entertained. You can also journal, write stories, or get caught up on homework. It’s okay to use a long car ride to take a break from everything. This includes electronics, the internet, even reading. Watch the landscape roll by the window and let your mind wander. If your travel mates aren’t up for a game, there’s plenty you can do on your own. You can play the alphabet game: look for letters A - Z on signs and license plates.

Maybe you’ve had a stressful week. Maybe you just feel stretched too thin. Give yourself the private time you need to recuperate by taking some space from your friend. Remember, these is nothing selfish with a little "me" time. If spending time with your friend is making you feel worse, then take a break! Everybody lies at a different locations on the introvert-extrovert spectrum. Do you find that you are more rejuvenating by time alone? If so, you may be more introverted. This means that taking some space for yourself is essential for you to feel good. Let yourself have it!  Explain to your friend that you're not being lonely, shy, or depressed. Tell them that you actually like being alone sometimes and that it's nothing personal. If you  just say that you want to be alone, your friend worry that something's going on emotionally. They may not understand that this is just how you are. Many times we need space from friends because they bring stress into our lives. If you have a friend who is stirring up drama, give yourself permission to take some space. It is almost always a good idea to let things cool down.  If you like talking to this friend, you can still do so once the waters have calmed and nothing dramatic is going on. It's important with these friends to discourage gossip. This will deter them from pulling you into other people's drama. Are you tired of making plans with a friend just for them to break plans or reschedule? You can choose to stop making plans with that friend. This may motivate your friend to stick to plans better and stop being flaky. Before you know how to ask for this space, you must determine what kind of space you are looking for. If you just need a night off, you may want to take a subtle approach. If you need to overhaul the nature of your friendship, your approach should be more direct.  Do you just need a night off? Do you no longer want to hang out with this friend one-on-one, but would be okay in groups (or vice versa)? Do you want to change the relationship itself (or even end it)?

Meal prepping in advance is a great trick to get breakfast (and other meals) ready much quicker.  Try to do a little meal prep in your down time to help get your weekday breakfasts started.  Plan a time during your week where you can spend a little time doing some meal prep.  This might be right when you get home from the grocery store or on a Sunday afternoon. Write out a little list of the breakfast meals that you're planning on having during the week.  This will help guide you on what foods you need to get ready. You can meal prep your entire meal if you'd like so all you need to do is eat it or heat it up.  Or, you can do a moderate amount of prep work, which will require you to do minimal assembly or cooking the morning of. For example, you can make oatmeal overnight in the crockpot and just scoop out a portion in the morning or you could just slice fruit up to get ready for a smoothie. If you are totally lacking on time, you might want to consider making breakfast the night before and making sure you can eat it on the run or when you get to work.  Right after dinner or when you have time in the evening, make your breakfast for the next morning.  Many meals can be cooked or prepared completely so you can grab it and go. Keep items wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you're storing it over night. Items you can make the night before include:  scrambled egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin, yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit on top or overnight oats. In addition to making your breakfast meal the night before, you may want to consider using your microwave to help speed along your morning.  You can make a variety of breakfast items in just a minute or two if you use your microwave.  Scrambled eggs are easily cooked up in the microwave.

Mealy bugs, aphids, and vine weevils are the most common pests that succulents attract. Check for mealy bugs at the point where the leaf attaches to the stem. Look for aphids on leaves, stems, and flower buds. Watch for impaired growth or limpness, which is evidence of vine weevils or root mealy bugs.  Mealy bugs are usually about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) to 3 millimetres (0.12 in) long and resemble lice. When they first attack, they'll leave balls of white fluff on the plant. When squashed, they leave a red stain. Aphids are about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) long. Their bodies are pear-shaped and can be black, green, yellow, pink, gray, or brown.  Scale are small gray bugs. They may look like a cluster of small, cottony pinheads. Mix a few drops of soap in tepid water. If you have severe infestation, add a few drops of cooking oil to the mixture. Apply it to the affected areas with a cotton swab or spray bottle. You can buy insecticidal soap at your local nursery. For root mealy bugs, remove and discard of the soil. Replant the succulent in fresh, clean soil. Pests can “hitchhike” on plants fresh from the nursery. If you're already growing succulents, isolate the new arrivals for about two weeks. Check for pests and signs of disease daily. After you plant your succulent in its permanent location, continue to monitor for problems at least once a week.

Meaningful one-on-one time with your family is important. If you spend a lot of time with your parents, you'll feel closer as a family. There are a lot of family friendly games for PlayStation. Games are themed around things like solving mysteries, playing instruments, completing quests, and piecing together puzzles. Try making a list of family friendly games and showing it to your parents. Tell them playing as a family would be good for everyone.  You can find lists of family friendly games online. Most games provide an age level that shows what age group the game is appropriate for. Search for games that would work for your whole family. If you have a 7 year-old brother, for example, look for games for ages 7 and up.  Consider your family's interests. If you all love a particular movie, see if there are any family friendly games based around that movie you could all play. Many parents are hesitant to buy a PlayStation console because they fear that all the games are violent or not age appropriate. If you have younger siblings, your parents may be especially hesitant to invest in a PlayStation. Research games for your age group, and your sibling's age group. Tell your parents these are the games you will play.  Cars, Peggle, Just Dance 3, and Eye Pet are some great games for kids ages 3-6. Skylanders Giants, Epic Mickey 2, Lego Star Wars, and ModNation Racers are fun for kids ages 7-11. Rocksmith, F1 Race Stars, and DJ Hero are great for kids ages 12-15. A PlayStation console can also play Blu-Ray discs. Some PlayStations can also hook up to WiFi, allowing your parents to access things like Netflix. If you point out these benefits of a PlayStation, your parents may be willing to purchase one as they'll be able to use it as well. Most movies are sold on Blu-Ray discs now. While video games have a bad reputation, they can actually be helpful in moderation.

Meanwhile, cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.  The pieces of aluminum foil should be cut into squares that are 3 inches (7.6 cm) longer than the length of your rainbow trout. If you only have light aluminum foil, cut eight sheets. Double up the sheets to create four thicker squares. Coat the dull side of each aluminum foil square with a small amount of olive oil. The foil should not be dripping wet, but there should be enough oil to make the surface evenly slick. Center each trout on a separate sheet of foil.  Place the trout skin-side down. Consider leaving the head or tail on while cooking. This reduces the amount of skin that breaks, which allows the flavor of the rainbow trout to come out stronger.  Note that most rainbow trout purchased in a store will be butterflied open. This is actually preferable for this recipe, but you can still prepare the recipe without butterflied trout. Sprinkle each trout with salt and pepper, to taste. If you need a rough guideline on how much salt and pepper to use, try a total of 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) pepper, evenly spread over all four pieces of fish. Open each piece of trout so that they lie flat. Place two sprigs of tarragon or dill in the middle of each fish along with two slices of lemon. Fold the two sides together again.  You could also use 4 sprigs of rosemary instead of the dill or tarragon. If the trout is not butterflied, you can lay the herbs and lemon slices on top of the fish instead of sandwiching them in the middle. Drizzle each fish with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) of olive oil. Grab the edges of the foil and fold them over the fish, crimping them together tightly to form a packet.  Make sure that the trout is centered in the middle of the square before folding the square up. Place the packets on a baking sheet. When done, the flesh of the trout should be opaque. It should also flake easily when pierced with a fork. Check on packet after 10 minutes. Continue cooking an additional 5 minutes if still undercooked. Remove the finished fish...

Meanwhile, grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or shortening. Alternatively, you could line the bottom of the dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper. The important thing is simply to keep the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Mix together the Parmesan cheese, egg, butter, onion, garlic, cumin, rosemary, and tarragon in a small to medium mixing bowl until well combined. Make sure that the dish has a fairly wide mouth so that you will be able to easily dunk the frog legs in and out of it. Dip each frog leg in the cheese and egg mixture, coating both sides. Let the excess drip off before dredging all sides of each frog leg in bread crumbs. The bread crumbs should be spread out on a wide plate or in a large bowl with shallow sides. Spoon any remaining mixture over the frogs' legs once all have been coated and placed in the dish. The frog legs should be spread out in an even, single layer. Do not stack the legs into multiple layers, since doing so could lead to uneven cooking. Cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour in your preheated oven. You should not need to stir or toss the frog legs as they cook, but if the top appears to be browning well before the end of the full cooking time, you can carefully reach in with a pair of tongs and turn the pieces over to expose the other side. Sprinkle with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.

Meanwhile, line a large baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Since the honey coating is so sticky, honey-roasted cashews are likely to stick to the baking tray if you leave it unlined. Nonstick foil or parchment paper is strongly recommended. Combine the honey, maple syrup, and melted butter in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the salt, vanilla, and cinnamon until all glaze ingredients are well-combined. For an even simpler version, you can stick with only honey, butter, and cinnamon. The maple syrup, salt, and vanilla all enhance the flavor of the cashews, but are not strictly necessary. Add the cashews to the bowl of honey glaze. Toss and stir the cashew and honey mixture using a large spoon or spatula to coat the nuts as evenly as possible. When thoroughly coated, spread the cashews evenly on the baking tray to form one layer. Remove them from the oven and toss again. This coats your cashews evenly with the honey mixture and promotes even cooking. Keep an eye on them to make sure the cashews do not burn during this time. If the cashews seem ready before the full six minutes are up, pull them out early. The cashews should smell notably nutty and look deeper in color, but they should not appear dark brown or charred. Pour the finished cashews into another large, clean bowl. Toss and stir sugar and salt into the cashew mixture, coating the nuts as evenly as possible.  If you’d like the nuts to be strictly sweet without any saltiness, you can skip the salt altogether and toss the cashews with sugar only. After tossing the cashews with salt and sugar, let them cool for about 15 minutes. You can serve the cashews immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Meanwhile, place one of the interior racks into the center position of the oven. Note that you do not need to prepare a baking sheet for the corn. For this method, you'll need to place the ears of corn directly onto the oven rack. Do not cover the oven rack in aluminum foil, either. Quickly clean the outer husks by rinsing them beneath cool, running water. Use your fingers to scrub away any visible dirt or debris.  Do not remove the husks from the ears of corn. If there are any silks hanging out of the ends or leaves peeling away from the sides, use clean kitchen scissors to trim them away. Arrange the ears of corn in a single layer directly on the center rack. Cook the corn until it becomes tender.  If there's another oven rack above the center rack, you can let it remain in place as long as it does not come into contact with the corn. If it does, you should remove it completely or move it to a position beneath the center rack. Try to keep the corn in a single layer. If you need to stack it, you may need to increase the overall cooking time. You'll also need to make sure that the pile of corn does not touch the upper heating element of the oven. To check for doneness, gently squeeze the sides of the ear. It should be firm, yet soft enough to press through the husk. Remove the finished corn from the oven and let it cool for several minutes. When the husks are cool enough to touch, carefully peel them down from each ear.  Consider holding the base of each ear with an oven mitt before peeling down the husks. Also note that the steam escaping from the corn will be very hot, so you should never point the ears directly at your face. You can wrap the husks around the base of each ear to serve as a handle or remove them completely. The choice is yours to make. Brush the corn on the cob with melted butter or olive oil, if desired, and consider seasoning it with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley to taste. Serve the finished corn on the cob while it's still hot.

Meanwhile, prepare a 13- by 9-inch (33- by 23-cm) baking dish by coating the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. You could also line the baking dish with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper, but doing so may make it more difficult to spoon out the juices after you finish cooking the fish. Place the cod fillets in your prepared baking dish, positioning them so that they sit in a single layer. Do not stack the fish in multiple layers. Doing so may prevent the fish from cooking evenly. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the cod fillets evenly. Finish by sprinkling the seasoning blend over the fish.  If you do not have seasoning blend on hand or would prefer a different spice, you can replace the seasoning blend with something else. Try 1/2 tsp (2.5 m) each salt and ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) garlic powder and 1 tsp (5 ml) dried parsley, or 1 tsp (5 ml) paprika. For more even flavor, season both sides of the cod fillets. Place the cod fillets in the oven and cook until the fish begins to brown and can be flaked easily with a fork. If using frozen fish fillets instead of fresh or thawed, add another 5 to 10 minutes to the overall cook time. Remove the cod fillets from your baking dish and transfer them to individual serving plates. Use a spoon or pastry brush to drizzle the pan juices over the plated cod.

Meanwhile, prepare a 9-inch by 5-inch (23-cm by 13-cm) loaf pan by lightly greasing the bottom and sides with nonstick cooking spray or shortening.  Alternatively, you can use two 8-inch by 4-inch (20-cm by 10-cm) loaf pan. Make sure that the total loaf pan volume can hold 8 cups (2 L).  To further prevent sticking, consider lightly dusting the bottom of the pan with a little flour after greasing it. You may also use parchment paper, but using aluminum foil since the foil can cause quicker browning and uneven cooking for this recipe. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar until evenly combined. Depending on your personal sense of taste and the lemon-lime soda used, you may need to alter the amount of sugar. If you have a notably sweet soda or prefer blander bread, cut the sugar back by 1 Tbsp (15 ml). If you have a mild soda or strongly prefer very sweet bread, consider adding another 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of sugar. Pour the carbonated soda over the dry ingredients and mix well using a mixing spoon or clean hands. Lightly knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together.  Note that the dough will likely be somewhat lumpy. Do not attempt to knead out all the lumps since over-mixing the dough can cause problems with the finished texture. For a blander bread, consider using club soda instead of lemon-lime soda. You can experiment further by using different flavors of carbonated soda, but each different flavor will have a different effect on the final taste of the bread. Transfer the dough into your prepared loaf pan. Use your hands to spread it out evenly over the entire pan. Pat on the top surface to flatten it out. If using two loaf pans instead of one, evenly divide the dough between the two. Place the filled loaf pan in the oven and bake the bread until the top turns light golden-brown. This will usually happen after 45 minutes, but some ovens may require additional bake time. Remove the finished bread from the oven. After 10 minutes, remove the loaf from the pan and allow it to continue cooling on a...

Meanwhile, prepare a baking dish by inserting an elevated cooking rack.  If you don't have an elevated rack, crumple up several sheets of aluminum foil and scatter them across the bottom of the baking dish. You'll need to keep the pork belly elevated as it cooks to help the fat render more readily. Using a sharp knife, the skin of the pork belly in a cross-hatch pattern. Slice across the skin in vertical rows spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart, then create a series of perpendicular slices that are also spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart.  Pierce through the tough skin and the top layer of fat, but do not cut too deeply into the actual meat lying beneath the two. Scoring the meat in this manner will allow more of the fat to render out during the roasting process. Place the pork belly on your prepared baking rack with the skin-side facing up. Rub the top with oil, then generously season the meat with salt and pepper.  In addition to seasoning the meat, the oil and salt make it easier for the fat to render out, resulting in crispier skin. Apply the seasonings by hand, and work the salt and pepper into the slits across the skin. Note that salt and pepper should withstand the roasting process without deteriorating, but other spices and herbs might burn. If you decide to add others, do so within the final 30 minutes of cooking. Place the seasoned pork belly in the preheated oven. Roast it for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the skin browns and begins to look crispy.  This brief period of high heat will not cook the pork through, nor should you cook the pork belly at this high heat for the entire time. The intense heat is only meant to crisp the skin. Do not wait for the skin to become dark brown or fully crisped since it will continue cooking at a lower temperature. Cooking it for too much time at a high heat could cause it to burn before the rest of the meat finishes. Decrease the temperature without removing the pork belly. Allow the meat to cook for another 2 to 2-1/2 hours, or until done.  Check the pork belly halfway through...

Meanwhile, prepare a baking dish by lightly coating the bottom and sides with nonstick cooking spray. If you have a large, heavy-bottomed, oven-proof skillet, you do not need to prepare a separate baking dish. The entire meal can be prepared in this oven-proof skillet. Add the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high until it becomes notably smooth and glossy. This can take a minute or so. Mix the flour and salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Place the ingredients in the bag, zip closed, and shake quickly to distribute the salt evenly throughout the flour. Alternatively, you could combine the flour and salt in a wide bowl with shallow sides. Make sure that the bowl is shallow enough and wide enough for you to place a piece of steak in. Sift the ingredients together to ensure that they are well-combined. Add the steak to the flour and salt in the plastic bag and seal the bag closed. Give it a good shake so that all sides of the beef are coated in flour. If using a bowl instead of a bag, add the steak pieces to the seasoned flour in the bowl and turn them over a few times, dredging all the sides completely. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes in your preheated oven. Slow baking in liquid is another ideal cooking method for round steaks, which tend to be fairly lean and not very tender. The slow cooking process helps the meat break down more, and the liquid prevents the beef from drying out. Uncover the dish and sprinkle the beef with the cheese. Return it to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. You could add more cheese than the recipe calls for, if desired, but adding more cheese may increase the amount of cooking time since a thicker layer will require more time to melt. Pull the finished steak out of the oven and transfer to individual serving plates. Spoon the vegetable mixture on top.

Meanwhile, prepare a large cookie sheet by laying a sheet of parchment paper over it.  The oven needs to be set to a very low temperature. The objective is to dehydrate the coconut pulp without toasting or burning it. The only way to do this in your oven is to bake the coconut at as low a temperature as possible. Do not use cooking spray. The surface of the cookie sheet needs to be dry. Do not use aluminum foil. The delicate coconut taste can be affected by the metallic taste of foil. Spread the strained coconut pulp out over the parchment paper, forming it into a flat, even layer. Use a fork to break up any large chunks of pulp. The layer of coconut should be as thin as possible. Cook the pulp until it feels completely dry to the touch.  After pulling it out of the oven, let it cool off for 1 or 2 minutes. Carefully touch it with your hands. If it feels perfectly dry, the coconut is ready. If you can still feel some moisture, you should put it back into the oven for a few more minutes. Coconut can burn even at low temperatures, so you need to monitor the coconut closely as it dehydrates. Pull it out of the oven at the first sign of toasting or burning.

Meanwhile, prepare the corn cobs by removing the husks and silks.  The exact amount of water you need will vary depending on how large each ear of corn is. Make sure that you use enough water to completely cover the ears of corn once they are submerged. Note that you can add up to 1 tsp (5 mL) salt to the water if desired, but it is not needed. To remove the husks, snap off the stem of the corn with your hands. Pull the stem over the length of the corn to peel off the husks still attached to it. Remove the remaining husks by peeling them off with your fingers. Rinse the husk-free corn cobs under running water. Rub your hands over the corn to loose and free as many of the silky threads you spot clinging to the corn. Cover the pot and let it return to boiling.  Use tongs to dunk the corn into the water. Avoid using your hands to transfer the corn since doing so may result in burns. If the boiling slows or stops after you place the corn in the stockpot, allow the water to reach a boiling point again before timing the cooking process. The corn should be "tender-crisp" when done.  "Tender-crisp" means that the corn is soft enough to press, but not mushy. The precise amount of cooking time will vary based on the type of corn and how mature it is. Fresh corn and sweet corn usually cook fastest. Transfer the ears of corn to a layer of clean paper towels and let drain for 30 to 60 seconds before serving.  The corn will be hot, so you may want to wait a few minutes before biting into it. Corn is usually served with a drizzle of butter.

If you do not have ramekins, you can use any small oven-safe cooking dish of similar size. A jumbo muffin pan should work, for instance. Pour the cream into the ramekin first. Gently crack the eggshell on the side of the dish and drop the egg directly onto the cream.  Do not break the yolk and do not stir the egg and cream together. Note that each ramekin should contain half the cream and two of the four eggs. For presentation purposes, use a dinner spoon to carefully shift the yolks to the center of the dish. Lightly sprinkle these seasonings over the eggs in the ramekins but do not mix or stir them in. Place the eggs in your preheated oven and cook until the whites are set. Note that the yolks should still be soft, though. Remove the eggs from the oven and allow the to sit out briefly so that the internal temperature drops and the cooking process halts.

Meanwhile, season the veal brisket with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to an oven-safe Dutch oven and heat over medium-high for a couple of minutes, letting it become thinner and easier to spread across the bottom of the Dutch oven. Veal brisket is usually browned while beef brisket is often prepared without being browned. The flavor of veal is improved more dramatically on browning than the flavor of beef, at least as far as oven-cooked brisket is concerned. Add the veal brisket to the hot oil and sear on each side, turning with tongs as needed, until all sides are lightly browned. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side. When done, remove the brisket from the Dutch oven and keep warm. Add these ingredients to the remaining oil in the Dutch oil and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to wilt and turn golden and translucent. This should take another 4 minutes or so. If there is little to no oil left in the Dutch oven when you add the vegetables, add another splash of oil so these ingredients can be sautéed in fat. Add the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and white wine to the Dutch oven. Simmer over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.  Stir the bottom of the Dutch oven, scraping up any stuck bits of veal or vegetables in the process. These small bits are packed with flavor, so you do not want to lose them. If you want to remove the herbs before serving the veal brisket, place them inside a small satchel made of cheesecloth. This is not strictly necessary, though, since the bay leaf is the only one that really needs to be removed and it is usually easy enough to spot and remove on its own. Return the veal brisket to the Dutch oven and add the crushed tomatoes. Cover the pot. Use the lid to your Dutch oven. If it does not have a lid, cover tightly with aluminum foil. This should take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Keep the Dutch oven covered for the duration of the cooking process, only removing the lid to check for doneness.

Measure 1 to 2 tablespoons (5 to 10 g) of coffee beans into the mortar. Cover the top of the mortar with one hand to stop the beans from jumping out. With your other hand, swirl the pestle around to mash the beans. After five seconds, pull out the pestle and bring it down in a vertical motion to hammer the beans.  Repeat the swirling and hammering until you achieve the desired consistency. Only grind small quantities of beans at a time in the pestle and mortar. This will ensure the most consistent grind. A pestle and mortar will produce anything from a coarse to a super fine grind. Place the beans on a large wooden cutting board. Take a large butcher knife and lay the blade flat against the beans. Lay your open palm against the flat top of the blade and apply pressure to crack the beans. Once the beans have cracked, carefully slide the knife toward you. Continue applying pressure to grind the beans finer.  Using this method, you'll be able to achieve a medium or medium-fine grind. Measure your coffee beans and transfer them to a thick plastic freezer bag. Seal the bag and place it on a flat surface. Shake the beans around so they're in a single layer. With gentle force, bring the rolling pin down onto the beans like a hammer to crack them. Once cracked, apply pressure and roll the rolling pin back and forth until you get the right grind.  You can also place the beans between sheets of parchment paper if you don’t have a freezer bag at your disposal. Using the rolling pin will result in a medium fine to fine grind. Place the beans between two pieces of parchment paper, or into a sealed freezer bag. Lay the bag on a towel on a flat surface and spread the beans out so they're in an even layer. Use moderate and consistent strokes to bring the hammer down on the beans to crush them. Keep hammering until you have a coarse to medium consistency. You can grind beans like this using a hammer, meat tenderizer, or mallet. A hand mincer is a manual grinder that can be used to mince meat, make pasta, or grind just about...

Measure 2 1/2 cups (350 g) of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add 2 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the ingredients for about 30 seconds, so the baking powder is evenly distributed. Pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable, olive, or canola oil and 3/4 cup (180 ml) of water. Stir the pizza dough until it forms into a ball. You may need 1/4 cup (60 ml) more water, if your flour absorbs a lot of the water. Ensure that you add the extra water a tablespoon or two at a time. Avoid adding so much water that the dough becomes sticky. Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface and scoop the pizza dough onto it. Knead the dough for 3 to 4 minutes, so the dough becomes smooth and elastic. You can knead the dough however you like. The important thing is that the dough is stretched and folded repeatedly. This will develop the gluten in the flour. You can use a rolling pin to roll the pizza out to any shape you like, or you can place it into your pizza pan and stretch the dough to fit the pan. Keep in mind that the pizza crust will be thick if you make one pizza out of this dough. If you want to make two thin-crust pizzas, just divide the dough in half and roll them until they're as thin as you'd like. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Spread the dough with sauce, pesto, or oil. Sprinkle your choice of pizza toppings across the top and bake the pizza for 15 to 25 minutes. If you're making two thin crust pizzas, they may only need 10 to 15 minutes.

You can use low-fat milk for this recipe, but whole milk will make creamier pasta. Keep the lid off of the pot and heat the liquids, so they begin to bubble vigorously. Avoid heating the liquids over high heat or the milk will scorch on the bottom of the pot. Turn the burner down to low and stir in 2 cups (168 g) of elbow macaroni noodles. Keep the lid off the pot and let the noodles bubble gently until they're as soft as you like. Stir the noodles every few minutes to prevent them from clumping or burning. If the liquid evaporates, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk whenever the liquid level looks low. Decide if you want to use the hot milk in the recipe you're making or if you want to drain it. If you want to save the milk, set a large bowl in the sink and place a strainer or colander over it. If you don't want to save the milk, don't place a bowl below the colander. Carefully pour the cooked noodles into the colander. Use the hot elbow noodles immediately in your recipe or put them in an airtight container.
