INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a medium-sized bowl, mix equal parts of Aztec Clay and apple cider vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar will help to soften and exfoliate skin while the clay removes oil. If you don't like the small of apple cider vinegar, use an equal amount of water to make the mixture instead. Aztec clay is available online or in beauty supply stores. For a more luxurious face mask, add one tablespoon (0.75 oz.) of honey to the mixture. If you have normal skin, allow the mask to dry for between fifteen and twenty minutes. If you have sensitive skin, let the mask dry on your skin for only five minutes. Watch the time carefully or set an alarm to mark the exact time. As the mask dries, you will feel a tightening sensation on your skin. Overuse of bentonite clay on the skin can be drying or cause irritation. Use an Aztec clay face mask no more than once a week. If you experience significant irritation when using the mask, avoid future use.

SUMMARY: Mix together equal parts Aztec clay and apple cider vinegar. Let the mask dry. Use the mask no more than once a week.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can be achieved in multiple ways, some more fancy than others. As outlined in the 4-strand braiding method, you could tie the opposite ends of the braid to key-chain rings and connect the rings afterwards to form a bracelet. While this method is easiest, it may not look the most appealing. Alternately, you could take the trick braided leather and puncture a small hole in the intact, 3/4 inch ends. Run a regular strand of leather through each hole and tie the ends off into knots. Adjust the size of the regular leather strand to better fit your wrist. To make a high quality, professional looking bracelet, hold the ends of your braid together so that they line up (this won't be necessary for the trick braid). Take a pinch crimp which can be purchased at most jewelry shops and place your braided ends inside of it. Use a pair of pliers to squeeze the pinch crimp shut over the ends. Now you're bracelet has metal ends like store-bought jewelry! Though your necklace will differ mostly from your bracelet length-wise, you can add other accessories to customize it. Find some beads with holes that run through them. You could run the braid through a single, tubular bead so that it sits in the middle, almost like a pendant. Or, you could fill the entire bottom portion of the braid with various colored beads so that only half of the braid is showing. Instead of beads, put a locket on your braid. Place your picture inside and give it to a special someone as a token of your friendship. Or, you could find letter pendants and use them to spell your name across the bottom of the braid. The possibilities are virtually endless! Once you become an expert at braiding normal-sized strands, challenge yourself by braiding even smaller ones. Use the hair braiding method to weave black and brown strands together. Make a standard length braid and then cut it to ring-size once you're done. Fit the ends with pinch crimps and wear the ring on your finger with pride.
Summary: Fashion a bracelet from your braided leather. Make a necklace using the same end connections as the bracelet. Use a tiny braid as a leather ring.

This will tell you the amount of time the pasta should be cooked for, and this will vary depending on the brand and shape/filling of the pasta. Standard cooking times: Dried pasta: About 8 to 10 minutes. Fresh pasta: About 2 to 3 minutes. Filled pasta: About 12 minutes. Lasagna or cannelloni: About 25 to 45 minutes. Pasta needs the space to move around and will cook unevenly if in too cramped a space. Fill with a lot of water and ensure that it is boiling before adding the pasta. For each person, add about 75g or 3 ounces of pasta. A little extra can be added and if not eaten, can be reheated the next day or used to make a pasta salad. If it is long, such as spaghetti or linguine, drop one end into the boiling water, then gradually push down the rest of the pasta as it softens through cooking. This won't take long, and watch out for the hot water and your fingers! It should not be a mush. Test before it is due to be ready; it is better to be too early than too late. Drain the pasta and get it ready for serving.

One-sentence summary -- Read the label accompanying the package of dried pasta or purchased fresh pasta. Use a large saucepan to cook pasta. Add the pasta. Cook until it is al dente, meaning that it has some resistance when bitten. Take the saucepan off the heat.
