Q: For this recipe you will need the following items: Paring knife Zester Saucepan Candy thermometer Candy molds Airtight storage container. Start by peeling the ginger with a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Fresh ginger is available at most supermarkets in the produce section. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and is commonly used in cough remedies as an effective antihistamine and chest decongestant. Cut the ginger into very thin slices using a paring knife. Use a zester to get at least 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Bring this to a boil over high heat. You will know when the pot is at a full boil when you have a constant stream of large bubbles coming to the surface and a good deal of steam. Once the pot has come to a full boil, reduce the heat to low. Then remove the ginger and cinnamon stick. The easiest way to remove the spices is with a strainer. Place a strainer into a clean saucepan. Pour the hot mixture through the strainer. The ginger and cinnamon will be left in the strainer and the liquid will be caught in the clean saucepan underneath. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Honey has been studied in clinical trials. It has been proven to be as effective as cough syrup in suppressing coughs. You will want the sugar to dissolve. You can tell if the sugar is dissolved if you take a spoon of the liquid and cannot see any grains of sugar in it. Once the sugar is dissolved, you will use a candy thermometer to get this syrup to the hard-crack candy stage. You will use this to monitor the heat. The candy liquid will need to be heated to a high temperature in order to harden into lozenges. It is very important that you closely watch the temperature of the syrup so it doesn't burn onto the saucepan or become too hot to form hard cough drops. The goal temperature for hard-crack lozenges is 300-305 degrees Fahrenheit. It will rise quickly as you cook the liquid. As the liquid rises in temperature, it may darken. This is expected as the sugar in the syrup caramelizes. When the candy thermometer reaches 300-305 degrees, remove the liquid from heat. You will now add the final ingredients before pouring the mixture to cool in candy molds. Take caution when adding the juice and zest. As you add the juice, it may cause the hot liquid to splash. Stir completely to make sure the liquid is evenly mixed. You can use unflavored cooking spray to do so. Carefully pour the hot liquid into the molds. Take care to fill only the small candy mold and not to spill too much of the liquid over the top each. This recipe will make about 50 small lozenge sized pieces. This will take an hour or more. When the cough drops are cool, crack them out of the molds onto wax paper. To crack the drops out of the candy molds, tap the mold gently on a hard surface. The cough drops should fall out. You may have to bend the candy mold tray in order to get the cough drops out, similar to cracking ice. If you don't have superfine sugar at home, you can put regular granulated sugar in a food processor or blender. Process this until it is a finer consistency. Shake the jar to coat the cough drops with sugar. This will prevent them from sticking together. You can also use powdered sugar to coat the drops, but it tends to clump. You don't need to refrigerate them. Use them as needed. Since these don't contain any of the common drugs found in cough syrups, these are ideal if you want to avoid the side effects of over-the-counter cough remedies. The cough drops will have a pleasant, sweet taste of lemon, ginger, and cinnamon.
A: Gather your supplies. Prepare the spices and lemon zest. Place the ginger slices, a cinnamon stick, and 1.5 cups of water into a saucepan. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Add 1.5 cups of sugar and 1/2 honey to the spiced liquid. Place a candy thermometer into the mixture in the saucepan and stop stirring. Watch the temperature of the liquid very closely. Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) of lemon juice to the hot candy liquid. Grease candy your candy molds. Allow the cough drops to cool in the candy molds completely. Put the cough drops in a lidded jar with 1/2 cup superfine sugar. Store the cough drops in an airtight container or jar.

Article: To be honest, most of your clothes can be worn a few times before being washed, but always remember this rule of thumb: if you don't want it on your nose, don't wear it. Pants are not as noticeable as shirts (pretty much all jeans look alike) and can be worn more times in a row than anything else. Just be sure they stay relatively clean and don't lose their shape; jeans can become stretched out after just a few uses. Many fashions promote revealing styles that are tight-fitting, attention-grabbing, low-cut, etc. Dressing up every once in a while is part of being young and beautiful, but for everyday stuff, your best bet is attractive, modest, flattering clothes that don't draw undue attention to your body. If you have a nice figure, it will be obvious in modest clothes. If attracting a boyfriend is one of your goals, you may be surprised to find out how many boys actually prefer it when things are left to the imagination. More importantly, a lot of the guys who want to see normal girls in ridiculous little outfits aren't the ones you want to be attracting in the first place. Don't be that girl who has to sit out of the soccer game because she can't play in her mini-skirt and wedges; it's much more attractive to be comfortable and to participate. High heels should be reserved for special dress-up occasions. Low heels or pumps can work in many situations if they're sturdy and comfy. The rest of the time, wear cute athletic shoes, sensible leather lace-ups, or whatever else fits the bill for everyday life.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wear clean clothes. Choose classy, modest styles. Wear practical shoes.

Q: If you've told your friend how you feel, you might as well clue him in too. While sometimes a crush consists of flirting and subtle hints, it will make the situation easier on everyone if you know where your crush stands. For example, there's no need to do damage control on your friendship if you discover he likes someone else! Once both of your feelings are out in the open, you are able to decide how to proceed. In other words, don't betray your friend by blabbing to your crush about her. She may like him and she may be hurt but that doesn't mean he needs to know that. Talk to your crush about your own feelings, and let your friend keep hers private if she wishes. Your friend will be hurt and embarrassed if she discovers you've been airing her dirty laundry to a boy she has feelings for. A good rule of thumb is to simply speak for yourself. Talk only about your own feelings and desires, not anyone else's. If the feelings are mutual and you want to proceed with a relationship, take your time. Let your friend adjust to the idea of you two being together before you change your Facebook status and start bringing him as a date to everything. A slow and steady start can make for a healthy, solid relationship, too. That doesn't mean you need to lie to your friend and pretend that things aren't happening with your crush. It just means letting her cope with the situation at a slower pace. If your crush doesn't respect or understand your need to take things slowly, he may not be the right guy for you after all.
A:
Tell your crush your feelings. Keep the situation with your friend private. Take things slow.
