INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get out a metal baking sheet, ungreased. You'll need roughly 1 cup of worms. Give them a rinse in cold water while the shallow saucepan heats up. Then dump the worms in for a quick boil, killing bacteria and partially cooking your bugs. You should have put the worms in boiling water, poured off the water three times by now. This will remove impurities that cause the worms to taste terrible. About halfway through, use some tongs or a spatula to flip the worms so that both sides cook. Use a little butter and olive oil and cook the veggies until they are starting to brown on the edges, roughly 8-9 minutes. Throw in a dash of salt as soon as you add the veggies to the pan. Add some finely chopped garlic for the last few minutes if you like it. Don't let them cool completely, just so they're cold enough to handle. You'll likely need to add another 1-2 tablespoons of butter so that nothing sticks to the pan. Add another dash of salt. This will make everything tender and tasty. If you want a creamier chow, add in a cup or yogurt or sour cream for a thicker, richer dish. This soupy dish won't even taste like worms when you're done! Simple and easy, you can easily customize this as well. Add hot peppers and fresh ginger with the onions and mushrooms for an Asian-inspired dish. Substitute some fresh tomato sauces for half of the stock for a richer "sauce." Mix in chopped carrots, celery, root vegetables, or peppers for added vegetables. There really is no limit. Add your favorite spices while the stock cooks to liven up and personalize the flavor.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Wash one cup of earthworms thoroughly to get off all the dirt and place in a saucepan of boiling water for three minutes. Pour off the boiling water, then repeat the boiling process twice. Put the worms on a baking sheet and into the oven for 15 minutes. While the worms cook, saute half an onion and a handful of mushrooms. Take them out and let them cool a little, though still hot. Roll the worms in flour, then toss them in with the onions and mushrooms. Add one cups of chicken or vegetable stock and cook for 10 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make it easier to pour the custard into the pastry shell, crack the eggs into a large bowl with a spout. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs well.

SUMMARY: Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and beat them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It involves combining the parents' heights, adjusting for child gender (the Mid-Parent Rule), and dividing by two. This method derives from a 1948 article by Horace Gray in the journal Child Development, and is still in widespread use today. The margin of error is +/- 4 inches, which may seem like a large amount (consider the difference of ending up either 5'2" or 5'10"), but is indicative of the difficulty of accurately predicting height in the face of so many variables. The method works in either inches or centimeters. For a male child, increase the mother's height by one-twelfth (13/12 of actual height). For instance, if the father of a female child is 69 inches, multiply by 12, then divide by 13, for an adjusted result of 63.7 inches. Likewise, if the mother of a male child is 63 inches, multiply by 13, then divide by 12, for an adjusted result of 68.3 inches. In the instance of a female child, with a father at 69 inches (adjusted to 63.7) and a mother at 63 inches, the sum is 126.7 inches. For a male child, the sum is 69 in. (father) + 68.3 in. (adjusted mother) = 137.3 inches. Using the examples in the last step, example 1 (female child) is 126.7 / 2 = 63.4 inches, and example 2 (male child) is 137.3 / 2 = 68.7 inches. Thus, a female child whose father is 69 inches tall and mother is 63 inches tall is predicted to reach 63.4 inches (5'3"). Likewise, a male child with parents the same height is predicted to reach 68.7 inches (5'9"). The formulas: ((69 x 12 / 13) + 63) / 2 = 63.3 [female child]; (69 + (63 x 13 / 12)) / 2 = 68.7 [male child]. There are also websites that will do the calculations for you if you enter the required heights. Remember that with the range of accuracy in this method, the female child in the example above could reasonably expect to reach between 59.3 and 67.3 inches, based on assorted genetic and environmental factors. There are variations to the Gray Method that skip the 12/13 adjustment and simply add then divide by 2 the parents' heights, then add 3 or 5 inches for a male child or subtract 3 or 5 inches for a female child. The results end up roughly similar to the original method. Thus, for a female child, ((69 + 63) / 2) - 3 = 63 inches, or ((69 +63) / 2) -5 = 61 inches. Or, for a male child, ((69 + 63) / 2) + 3 = 69 inches, or ((69 + 63) / 2) + 5 = 71 inches.

SUMMARY:
Use the Gray Method for unborn children and children up to age four. Measure the heights of the father and mother. For a female child, reduce the father's height by one-thirteenth (12/13 of actual height). Add the adjusted height of one parent to the non-adjusted height of the other. Divide the sum by two to estimate the child's final height. Put it all together. Use simpler variations, if preferred.
