Article: This is done by heating up an appropriately sized container of water and dissolving a large amount of baking soda into the water. Use enough baking soda such that it takes at least a minute to dissolve in the hot water with constant stirring. Shape a liner for the container from aluminum foil and place the foil in the container of hot water. Place silver that has been previously cleaned with soap into the bath (inside of the foil) for several minutes. The tarnish should dissolve away. Rinse the piece well when you're finished. Be sure that the silver touches the aluminum, or else it won't work. The silver and aluminum, with the solution between them, form a battery, and when you touch the silver to the aluminum, it shorts the battery and a small current flows, allowing the chemical reaction to happen. This method is quick and better than a corrosive dip, but probably not as gentle as silver cleaning paste.

Article: Teeth grinding can be a sign that your child is stressed or anxious about something. Helping your child to relax may be the key to getting your child to stop grinding his/her teeth. As mentioned in the previous step, teeth grinding can be a sign that your child is stressed. Helping your child to relax for bed may reduce how often he/she grinds his/her teeth. Create a routine that involves relaxing activities before bedtime. These activities could include: Taking a warm bath. Listening to soothing music. Reading a book. Telling your child stories or singing lullabies. Dimming the lights and making the room cooler can help your child to sleep more peacefully, and thus stop grinding his/her teeth. To make your child's bedroom relaxing and peaceful: Keep the lights dim. Instead of using bright fluorescent bulbs, set your child's room up with some dim bulbs that you can be turned on at night. Keep the temperature down. Most people tend to sleep better when the temperature in their bedroom is lower (around 65 F or 18 C). Make sure your child's bed is comfortable. If your child is starting to outgrow his/her bed, you may want to consider getting him a larger one that he/she can grow into. Having a comfortable bed can help your child sleep better. Warm temperatures can create good blood flow. If you hold a warm, wet washcloth to your child's face, you will help his/her jaw muscles to relax by creating good blood flow to the area. This will help your child's jaw to relax and will make him/her less likely to clench his/her teeth together while he sleeps. Run the washcloth under warm water. Make sure to test the cloth against your own skin first to make sure that it is not too hot. Hold the cloth over your child's jaw. Once the washcloth has cooled, run it under the water again and switch it to the other side of your child's jaw.

Article: Add the butter to a large saucepan and set it over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to completely melt. Cutting the butter into smaller chunks can help it melt faster. Occasionally turn the saucepan as the butter melts. Doing so should spread the butter over the bottom of the pan more evenly. Add the chopped onion to the melted butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until the onions are lightly browned. If you're in a hurry, you can increase the heat to medium and shorten the cook time to about 5 to 8 minutes. You should not increase the heat beyond that, however, since doing so may burn the onions. Adding onions to the gravy base will add more flavor, which is especially important when you aren't working with pan drippings. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and butter. Quickly and completely whisk it into the contents of the pan. After the flour has absorbed the remaining butter, continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes so that the heat can remove the raw flour taste. Gradually pour the broth into the saucepan, whisking continuously to combine. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the gravy bubbles and thickens. If you haven't done so already, increase the heat to medium. Note that you can use any broth for this recipe. You can even combine broths to create a more complex flavor. For instance, using two parts beef broth and one part chicken broth can create an appetizing brown gravy suitable for potatoes and other side dishes. If you want to further deepen the flavor profile of the gravy, add the brandy. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. The heat should break down the alcohol while you cook it, leaving only the flavor behind. Remove the gravy from the heat and pour in the cream or milk. Whisk well to combine. It's best to use room temperature or slightly warmed dairy to prevent it from curdling once it touches the hot gravy. Continue whisking until the gravy takes on an even coloration. Sprinkle the gravy with ground black pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. Since most broths are already quite salty, you probably won't need to add any salt, but you may still do so if you prefer gravies with stronger, saltier tastes. You can serve the gravy as it is, but if you don't want chunks of onion in it, strain out the onions by pouring the gravy through a strainer. Choose a strainer with medium holes. Fine mesh strainers will also work, but you may need to force the thick liquid gravy through these tiny holes using a spatula. Enjoy the gravy while it's still hot. If you need to keep it warm, set the saucepan back on the stove over very low heat and whisk it occasionally until you're ready to use it. You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container, but you'll need to heat them on the stove again prior to use.
