Problem: Article: Try to have a pantry week once week a month, in which you do not do any grocery shopping and instead just rely on what's in your pantry. Use leftovers, frozen food, and anything else you can find. You probably have more food than you realized sitting around. You can google recipes that only use the ingredients you have on hand that week. As previously stated, many websites offer you lists of suggestions if you type in the ingredients you have. Some foods can be frozen to increase their shelf life. If a bread item you usually buy, like sourdough bread or bagels, goes on sale you can freeze loaves or packages to increase their shelf life. Bread can last about three months when frozen. Most raw meats can be frozen to increase their shelf life. How long they last depends on the type of meat, but poultry, beef, and pork can last for months frozen. If you're big on seafood, buy pre-frozen seafood in the store rather than fresh cuts. Not only does this cost less, you can stock up on sale items and leave them frozen for a few weeks or months before use. It's okay to buy expensive foods once in awhile. However, choose the items you splurge on wisely. Certain foods may cost slightly more, but this is because they're healthier. Whole wheats, for example, are much healthier than processed wheats. This means you'll end up using less of these items as you'll feel fuller faster and for longer periods. Some organic foods may actually fill you up more. You can experiment with going organic on certain items, usually wheat or grain-based foods, and see if you notice yourself eating less. If so, you might want to try swapping certain foods for the organic variety as you may end up spending less over time.
Summary: Have a pantry week. Freeze certain foods. Choose splurge foods wisely.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you want to frost the sides of the cake, you'll need to apply a thin crumb coat to the exposed cake, trapping any loose crumbs inside. Note that the cake will show through the crumb coating. You only want to use a thin layer of frosting to trap the loose crumbs. This layer will not be visible once the cake is complete. If your refrigerator is large enough, place the cake inside for roughly 30 minutes to help the crumb coat set. If you cannot chill the cake in your refrigerator, you should at least let it rest in a cool room for several minutes before handling it again. Consider placing a small fan in front of it to help the frosting cool. Ideally, the frosting should become so cool that it no longer feels sticky. Apply a thicker layer of frosting over the crumb coat of the cake. Continue until all sides are thoroughly coated and smooth. Before frosting the cake, slide strips of wax paper underneath the bottom of the cake, forming a square frame. Excess frosting will get on the wax paper instead of the cake board or platter. When you finish frosting the cake, you can remove the wax paper strips and the mess all at once. From this point on, you can apply any decorations you want using additional icing, candies, or non-edible embellishments. Once you've added the finishing touches to your decorations, the cake will be complete and ready to serve.

SUMMARY: Apply a crumb coat. Chill the cakes again, if feasible. Frost the sides of each tier. Decorate the cake as desired.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: During the teen years, there is a lot going on in terms of hormonal changes and body development. Not only that but most teenagers are trying to learn how to be more like adults at the same time. With all of this going on, it isn't unusual for teens to experience difficult emotions or even depression. Thus, it is important for you to consider whether your teen's poor hygiene is a sign of something more serious. If a teen was bathing normally but has suddenly stopped, and if you have noticed other symptoms such as moodiness, changes in their school performance or social behavior, or if they have started using drugs or drinking alcohol, then it may be time to seek help from a doctor. There may be a logical reason behind why the teen isn't showering, so you should spend some time reflecting on what those reasons might be instead of just assuming they are being lazy. For example, there's a teen who has very long hair, maybe they aren't showering because they don't have time to do their hair afterward. In this case, you could purchase them a shower cap, or suggest that they take a bath on the days that they don't want to wash their hair. Some people simply don't need to wash their hair every day. Maybe the young person is having a hard time finding the time to shower. Many teens have a lot on their plates with school, friends, extracurricular activities, and chores. It could be that they feel they can't find the time. If this is the case, maybe you can help them figure out a way to manage their time better, or even cut out one of their chores so they have 15 extra minutes to shower. Many times, teens rebel over little things simply to feel like they have some control over their lives. If you haven't already done so, consider asking the teen why they don't want to shower. Asking will hopefully help you figure out why they don't want to shower. Additionally, it will also show your teen that you acknowledge that they are growing up and have opinions and thoughts of their own. Hopefully, the reason they don't want to shower will be a fairly straightforward one. For example, if the teen doesn't like the smell of the products, then you can easily let them pick ones they do want. On the other hand, if their reason for not showering is more philosophical (e.g. they don't want to shower because they feel they should be natural, or something like that), then you're going to have to do a bit more work. You'll have to spend time educating them on the health implications of poor hygiene and hope that makes sense to them. If it comes to it, you may have to start revoking privileges.
Summary: Consider a teen's emotional state. Try to think of reasons why a teen might not want to shower regularly. Ask them why they don't want to shower.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose sodium-free club soda or seltzer water as salt may damage the jewelry. The carbonation in the soda or seltzer helps dislodge grime from the necklace. Put a few drops of any mild dish soap (free of dyes, perfumes, and moisturizers) in the club soda, then agitate the liquid to mix it up. If you don't have a strainer, you could put the necklace directly in the bowl, though the strainer helps you remove and rinse the necklace. If the strainer is too large to fit in the bowl, reserve it for rinsing the necklace. After 5 minutes, swish the necklace around in the solution to dislodge grime. Then, use a new, soft toothbrush to clean the chain, settings, crevices, gemstones, or charms. Scrub in a gentle, circular motion applying a minimal amount of pressure. Use warm, running water to rinse the club soda, soap, and debris off the necklace. The strainer is helpful for this step, as you can let water run over the necklace and through the strainer. Choose a soft, lint-free cloth to pat the necklace dry with, paying special attention to nooks and crannies. Then, lay the necklace out on the cloth to continue drying. A lint-free cloth is necessary to ensure fibers don't become stuck in the crevices or chain. You could use a blow dryer on a warm setting to speed up the process, if desired, or simply let the necklace air dry completely.
Summary:
Add a few drops of dish soap to a bowl of club soda. Put the necklace in a strainer and soak it in the bowl for 5 minutes. Scrub the necklace with a new, soft toothbrush. Rinse the necklace. Dry the necklace with a lint-free cloth.
