In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wicker furniture is one of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture. It's a very versatile material, and you can get many varieties of patio furniture with wicker. Wicker comes in a variety of colors. You can also paint wicker furniture to better match your patio's color scheme. Many different types of furniture (tables, chairs, end tables) come in wicker varieties. You should be able to find something in wicker that fits your style and color scheme. Wicker generally holds up against water. However, you should make sure your wicker is made out of polyethylene as this will be most weather resistant. Opt for new wicker furniture that hasn't been subjected to rain or humidity, as it won't be very strong or durable. Wood is another classic material for patio furniture. If you're looking for a practical, old fashioned style, wood may be your best option. Like wicker, wood comes in many different styles and colors. If you want wood furniture, you should be able to find a piece that matches your needs in wood. It should say somewhere on the label whether the wood is authentic. However, make sure you're buying real wood. Many patio furniture labeled as wood is actually made of synthetic materials. Only real wood will hold up well long term. Take into account the maintenance that comes with having wood furniture. You may need to power wash, stain, or seal the wood periodically to keep it in good condition. Plastic can be a cheaper option if you're on a budget. It's also lightweight and easy to move. Quality plastics are also very durable and resistant to many different types of weather. Plastics can be great if you're looking for patio furniture to last year round. Look for recycled plastic and polymer for best results. You should also keep your eyes out for plastics that come with UV-stabilizing pigments, as these will prevent colors from fading. Iron may work great if you live in an area prone to heavy wind or rain. Iron is of a heavier weight than other varieties, so it can stand its ground during volatile weather conditions. Iron works best for year round patio furniture that does not need to be moved much throughout the year. If you live in an area where it snows during winter, iron furniture must be stored inside. Look for powder-coated, UV resistant finishes when choosing iron furniture. Ensure the traditional style of iron furniture matches the existing decor of your home. Fabric can be a great addition to patio furniture as it adds comfort. However, if you're choosing fabric, be careful. You want a fabric that is weather resistant and easy to store. Solution-dyed acrylic are best for fabric furniture. These fabrics are designed for outside use. Look for fabric that can be machine-washed or cleaned with a garden hose. Choose cushions you can easily carry so you can move them indoors during rain or snowfall. Select patterned, rather than solid or bright, fabric to hide dirt and sun-fading.
Summary: Choose wicker furniture for versatility. Select wood furniture for a traditional feel. Opt for quality plastic furniture to save money. Pick iron furniture for a durable option. Take precautions when choosing fabric.

They will smooth and hydrate itchy skin. Do this at least once a week for maximum benefit. Take 1/3 cup oatmeal and blend in a blender until it's a fine powder. Pour into your warm bath as you run the water, to help mix it thoroughly. After your bath the oatmeal powder may be left in tub, especially if you did not blend enough. Don't worry, this isn't difficult to clean (unless you leave it in for days). Oatmeal baths can be bought in stores too if you would rather nix the extra work of blending it yourself. If you live in a dry area, your skin will be extra sensitive, and a humidifier can help. By adding moisture to the air, this basic machine can help your skin to stay soft. Using distilled water (pure water, no minerals, no contaminants) is recommended. Tap water contains lead, chlorine and nitrates, which is best to avoid whenever possible. If you don't have your own humidifier, consider making your own using an old t-shirt and fan. Low temperatures and humidity dry out skin, leaving it rough. For someone suffering with keratosis pilaris, this can aggravate your condition even more. If you live in a cool, dry area, make sure to moisturize daily. Keratosis pilaris is typically less noticeable in the summer, which may have ties to being in the sun. Spend a little time outdoors to get the hormonal boost the sun provides while aiding your skin in clearing out dead cells. Always wear sunscreen when you spend time in the sun to avoid skin damage. There have been no official studies that prove sunlight improves keratosis pilaris, but there seems to be a correlation between the two. If nothing else, spending time in the sun has direct links to lessening depression and anxiety, which is good for everyone. Taking extremely hot baths or showers can scald the skin and dry it out. When possible take warm or cool baths and showers to lessen the effect of the heat on your skin. Take a visit to your dermatologist to get a prescription for medication which may help your case. Your doctor may prescribe an ointment or cream, but each should make a difference in improving your skin. Although this is expensive and not beneficial in 100% of cases, getting laser treatment may help severe cases of keratosis pilaris. If you have been struggling for many years with your skin condition, this may be a viable option for you.

Problem: Article: Get out a 10in 15in (25cm 38cm) baking pan or roasting dish and spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. If you don't have nonstick cooking spray, brush 2 teaspoons (9.9ml) of vegetable or olive oil in the pan. Transfer the patty pan squash to the greased baking pan and pour the oil and herb mix over them. Use a large spoon to move the squash around so they're coated with the flavorful oil. Put the pan into the preheated oven and cook the squash until they're tender. To test if they're finished roasting, stick a fork into 1. If you can pull the fork out easily, the squash is done. If the patty pan squash is still too firm for your liking, roast them for another 3 to 5 minutes and check again. To add a fresh flavor to the roasted squash, top them with the optional chopped parsley. Consider serving your roasted patty pan squash with roasted chicken, broiled salmon, or grilled steak. Although you can refrigerate leftover patty pan squash in an airtight container for up to 5 days, they will become soggy the longer they're stored.
Summary:
Preheat the oven to 425F (218C) and grease a baking pan. Put the squash in the pan and toss it with the oil mixture. Put the squash in the oven and roast it for 10 to 15 minutes. Scatter 1 tablespoon (4 g) of minced parsley over the squash.
