Foods laden with these two ingredients can mess with your sense of taste. They mask subtler flavors and make it more difficult to pick up on the taste of your food. When you first cut back on salt and sugar, you might feel that your food lacks flavor, but after a week or two you'll begin to notice the complex flavors you were missing before. Try reducing salt and sugar by 1/3 or 1/2 in all of your recipes, including your baking recipes. You could also substitute sugar with a less intense sweetener, like honey. There's no need to cut salt entirely. A little salt can actually enhance the flavor of food. It's when you pour it on everything that it starts dulling your sense of taste. Processed foods are often filled with sodium and sugar, so that's one good reason to avoid them. They also often contain chemicals and artificial ingredients that can mess with your sense of taste. Eating sweet and spicy chicken tenders from a fast food joint is going to make a homemade version taste dull by comparison, since you'll be used to tasting a burst of chemically-enhanced flavors. Retrain your taste buds to pick up on the subtleties of natural flavors by avoiding foods that are processed and combined with chemicals. Snack foods like chips, candy and sodas are designed to be flavor bombs that tap into your brain's pleasure center and stimulate cravings. Reach instead for homemade popcorn sprinkled with salt and pepper, or homemade soda sweetened with fruit juice. It might be hard to make the switch at first, but eventually you'll be able to enjoy natural flavors more than ever. Stimulate your taste buds by mixing things up in your diet. If you tend to eat bland meals, your ability to taste may deteriorate. Use herbs and spices you don't normally use. Steam your vegetables instead of boiling them. Choose foods with different textures and colors, so that every meal is a banquet of new tastes for your tongue. Fat makes food taste better, and enhances other flavors. Consider a bowl of steamed broccoli: it's fine on its own, but how much better does it taste with a drizzle of melted butter? There's no need to go overboard with fat, but using some in your cooking will bring out the best in your food. Get creative with the fats you use. There's butter, but you can also use a variety of oils, each with its own flavor profile. Try olive, sesame, peanut, grapeseed, and coconut oil in your cooking. You can also garnish your dishes with a bit of fat. Try sprinkling chopped nuts over your vegetable dishes, and serving your salads with avocado. Dishes in which all the flavors are mushed together aren't the best for stimulating your taste buds. It's difficult to distinguish the flavors from one another, and dishes like these often end up tasting bland. Keep the components of your meal separate from one another for maximum tastebud stimulation. Your senses of smell and taste are connected to one another; when one is sharpened, so is the other. You'll enjoy the taste of your food more if you inhale it before you begin tucking in. Tobacco products affect your sense of taste just as they affect your sense of smell. Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco is going to be detrimental to your ability to taste - there's no way around it. If you want to get your tastebuds back, quit smoking and chewing.

You'll be needing at least a pickaxe and an axe to gather some of the required materials for this venture. They're both available through the Tool tab (crossed axe and pickaxe icon). Axes cost 1 each of Twig (gathered from dried-out bushes scattered in the world) and Flint (sharp-looking rock that's scattered everywhere in the game), while pickaxes cost 2 each of the same materials. To use tools, select it by right-clicking on the tool (PC) or scrolling to it with the right analog stick and pressing the right button of the D-pad (PS4). Go up to the tree (axe) or boulder (pickaxe) and hold down the left mouse button (PC) or X button (PS4) to wear them down to states you can gather with. Now that you have your tools, get going and get gathering! Make sure you chop down some trees for Logs since they're vital for creating a Science Machine. Gathering some Rocks from boulders is also a priority, both for the Science Machine and also your other creations. Gathering Cut Grass from tufts of long grass poking from the ground is also vital for your campfires and torches. Aside from the Science Machine, you'll also be needing an Alchemy Engine to create your supplies. Both can be created through the Science tab, represented by an atom icon, but you'll need a Science Machine to make an Alchemy Engine. A Science Machine costs 1 Gold Nugget, 4 Logs, and 4 Rocks, and an Alchemy Engine costs 4 Boards, 2 Cut Stones, and 6 Gold. You can craft Boards and Cut Stones through the Science Machine on the Refine tab, represented by a diamond icon. You can gather Gold Nuggets by trading Meats to the Pig King (if he's available in the current world), mining yellow-streaked boulders (which are predominantly found in Rockylands), or by finding them scattered around Graveyards.

On your computer, create and name a folder that you can easily find later. You can name the folder anything you like, but when working with HTML, it's best to get in the habit of naming files and folders with short, single word names that are recognizable. Put the image you'd like to use as background into the HTML folder. If you aren't too concerned with ensuring your website will run well on older devices with slower internet connections, you should be safe in using a higher resolution image as your background. Simple images with light, repetitive patterns are also a good choice when deciding on a background image so that you can read any text on top of it. You can create an HTML file using a basic text editor app such as NotePad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac You can also use a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) HTML editor such as Adobe Dreamweaver. If you are using a WYSIWYG editor, click the option to open a new HTML file on the start of the page. It's in the menu bar at the top of the page. It's in the file menu below. If you are using a PC, click Save As in the "File" drop-down menu. If you are using a Mac, click Save in the drop-down menu. Generally, the first page of a website is called "index", but you can the page anything you want. Type the name of the file in the text field next to "File Name". It's in the lower-right corner of the window. This saves the text document as an HTML document.
