Problem: Article: If your recipe calls for finely chopped or minced garlic, scoop the garlic back into a pile and continue to chop it until the pieces are as small as you like. If you'd like to make a rough garlic paste, sprinkle a little kosher salt over the minced garlic. Use the flat part of a knife blade to smash and spread the garlic until it turns into a paste.
Summary: Keep chopping if you want minced garlic.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes, when we are experiencing feelings that we don't know how to cope with, it can be tempting to give into a habit that we find comforting. For some people, this is binging on unhealthy foods such as chips or ice cream. For others, drinking alcohol, smoking, or doing drugs are ways to avoid dealing with these feelings. Whatever your unhealthy coping mechanism, try to identify it, and when you feel the urge to engage in that activity, turn to a different, more healthy way of dealing with your emotions. If you are experiencing strong emotions related to hiding your feelings, try talking to a trusted friend (preferably one who isn't also a coworker) or family member about what you are feeling. If you'd prefer not to, you can also write what you are feeling in a journal. Either way, it's important that those feelings have an outlet. Maybe you already have a hobby you enjoy. If so, renew your interest in said hobby. If you don't have a hobby that you enjoy, think about something you've always wanted to try, and go try it. Not only will this distract you from your romantic feelings, it will also make you feel empowered, helping you to deal with the situation. For example, if you've always been interested in rock climbing, but never actually tried, then look for a climbing gym in your area. Sign up for a beginner's course. Not only will you get fit and find a new hobby, you will also meet new people. For many of us, most of our day is spent working. Depending on your organizational culture, many of your friends might also be your coworkers. While this is fine if you're not struggling to hide romantic feelings for your coworker, having friends that are not coworkers will give you a safe place to go when you're not at work. Non-work friends will give you a place to vent about your feelings (if you want to), and will also broaden your perspective. You will realize that there is life and other people outside of work, helping you get over unwanted romantic feelings. It's not impossible that you are already in a committed relationship. If so, take time to reflect on this relationship, and the reasons that you're in it. If you're not in a romantic relationship, focus on improving other relationships you have (e.g. with friends or with family). When we feel attracted to someone, it's not uncommon to neglect relationships we already have, so try to refocus your energy on the people you care about, and that care about you. If you want to date someone, then consider people outside the workplace that you are interested in. If there isn't anyone, then consider online dating. If that's not your thing, try attending social events. You can also meet new people through hobbies, sports, churches, and volunteer activities.

SUMMARY: Avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms. Take up a hobby. Stay socially active. Nurture your relationships.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Salicylic acid is a nonprescription wart removal option you can find at your local drugstore or pharmacy. It helps to dissolve the protein of the wart and the dead skin around it. Look for wart removal pads, plasters, gels or drops that contain 17 percent salicylic acid solution or patches that contain 15 percent salicylic acid. You will need to apply these products once a day for several weeks. For optimal results, soak your finger or fingers with the warts in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes. This will soften the skin of the wart. Then, file away at any dead skin on or around the wart with an emery board or a pumice stone. Once you have filed away the dead skin, apply the salicylic acid pad, gel, plaster or patch to the wart. You can then file away at the dead skin that appears on and around the wart between treatments with an emery board or a pumice stone. Do not share the board or pumice stone with anyone else and throw it away once the wart is removed. You may need to apply the salicylic acid for 12 weeks or more until the wart flattens and fades away. If the wart becomes irritated, sore, or red, you should stop using the salicylic acid product and talk to your doctor. You can also use freezing products on the warts to try to remove them. Aerosol wart treatments can be purchased over-the-counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. These sprays will freeze the warts at a temperature of minus 90F (minus 57C). Keep in mind over-the-counter freezing products will not work as well as liquid nitrogen agents applied by your doctor to the warts. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises caution when using wart removers, as they are flammable and should not be used around fire or any heat sources.
Summary: Apply a salicylic acid pad or gel. Use over-the-counter freezing products.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sometimes all the prevention possible will not keep your white sneakers always looking clean. Before you do a thorough cleaning with a damp sponge, brush or wipe off any dirt, mud, grass clippings or sand. It's important to get rid of excess debris, while your shoes are dry, so you don't set stains in more. Remove your laces to get them, and your shoes, looking as clean as possible. If you attempt to wash your shoes with the laces still in them, grime will accumulate around the openings. Place laces in a small mesh laundry bag to keep them from wrapping around other laundry. Set them out to dry and do not place them in the dryer to avoid shrinkage. Drop one to two drops of dish soap on a damp sponge or dish rag. Place your sponge in a bowl of water or rinse it in the sink to dilute. Don't use too much soap on your nice, white sneakers! Wring your sponge or rag out to remove excess water, and gently wipe your shoes down from tongue to sole. Do not scrub leather. Carefully rub dirt and repeat if necessary. Take a wet dish rag with a dime-sized amount of laundry soap to clean canvas. Wring the dish rag out and wipe down your shoes thoroughly. Wet the rag again to remove all accumulated dirt and soap. Wipe down your shoes a second time. Repeat if necessary, and let them dry by a fan or in the open air for a few hours. Do not place canvas in the washing machine. It can tear them and yellow your soles. Even after you have thoroughly brushed and cleaned your white sneakers, you may be left with discolored areas. Leather shoe polish can take care of this. Wipe polish on with a soft cloth, like an old t-shirt, and let it dry for a few minutes. Take a clean side of your old t-shirt to lightly buff out any scuff marks. White leather shoe polish is good for solid white shoes. Use a neutral shoe polish on white shoes that have accent colors. A neutral polish goes on clear and can be used on other leather shoes or bags.
Summary:
Dry brush dirt and debris off shoes. Clean laces in the washing machine. Sponge leather shoes with a small amount of dish soap. Wipe down canvas shoes with laundry soap. Polish leather.
