INPUT ARTICLE: Article: African violets thrive best when their soil is somewhere between dry and moist, so give them water when the soil starts feeling dry to the touch. Over or underwatering the violets could prevent the plant from blooming. Use room temperature water rather than cold water, otherwise you could chill the roots. If this happens, the leaves or flowers may start to curl. Don't get water on the leaves or flowers, as this can lead to rings or spots forming on the plant. If you get water on the leaves or flowers, gently dry the area with an absorbent towel. African violets need lots of light, and they won't flower if they don't get enough sun. However, they will scorch easily in direct sunlight, so their placement in the house is very important. In winter, the plants will do best near a window that faces south or west in the Northern Hemisphere, or north or east in the Southern Hemisphere. In summer, the plants will be better near a window that faces north or east in the Northern Hemisphere, or south or west in the Southern Hemisphere. To provide bright and indirect sunlight, provide shade by placing the plants behind lightweight curtains. These plants need lots of nutrients to continue producing flowers year-round, and the best way to ensure they get what they need is to provide them with fertilizer. There are specific fertilizers available for African violets, but the important thing is to provide them with balanced nutrients. A good fertilizer would be a 20-20-20, which means it has equal quantities of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for feeding the violets. The best temperature range for African violets is between 65 and 75 F (18 and 24 C). Keep them in an area where you can maintain this temperature, and keep them away from drafts and other things that could cause sudden temperature fluctuations. Anything below 50 F (10 C) will almost certainly kill the plant. The ideal humidity level for African violets is between 40 and 60 percent. You can monitor this with a hygrometer. To add more humidity to the air, consider installing a portable humidifier in the room where the violets are kept. Violets that don't get enough humidity will grow slowly, and while they will produce flower buds, they likely won't bloom. Because African violets thrive in small pots, it's important to repot them regularly to keep up with their growth. When you repot, make sure you use new soil, and a pot that's one size larger than the pot they're currently in.

SUMMARY: Water the plants when the soil feels dry. Provide plenty of bright but indirect light. Feed them fertilizer. Monitor the temperature. Maintain the humidity. Repot the plants every year.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Set the pan on the stove, and turn the heat to low. Add 2-3 pats of butter. Once it's melted, you should have enough butter to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the butter is melted, gently place the kippers in the pan. Cook them for about 3 minutes per side, or a little longer if they're not quite done after that time. You can use skinless or kippers with the skin still on for this recipe, depending on your preference. Once the fish is flaky and opaque, take the pan off the heat. You can serve these with scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. Serve with lemon or lime wedges to squeeze over the top.

SUMMARY: Heat a pan with butter over low heat. Add the kippers to the pan. Remove the kippers from the heat and serve.
