article: If you are in the middle of dinner or are doing an activity that requires you to move a lot, holding hands will not be very convenient. You don't want to hold hands for the first time when both of you are in a large group of friends or at a family gathering. The two of you don't necessarily have to be alone, but make sure it is a private place where both of you are comfortable. Try taking a walk on the beach, going for a hike, or taking a stroll down the street. You may have people around you, but strangers will most likely not pay attention to the two of you, giving you the privacy you need. A movie theater is a great place to initiate hand holding. Since you are sitting right next to each other, your positions are very conducive to holding hands. The darkness adds a layer of privacy and may help if your date is shy. You might be a little nervous, so check your hands to make sure they are not sweaty or clammy. If they are, subtly wipe them off or stick them in your pockets for a moment to dry them off. Your date may be nervous too, but sweaty palms are not very appealing. Also make sure your hands are clean and moisturized. Super dry hands or hands that smell are an even bigger turn off than sweaty hands. When you've found the right time and place and you feel ready, walk close to your date and gently take his hand. Remember to be gentle and not to rush it. Make it as subtle as possible and remember to keep talking or walking to ensure it is natural and comfortable. Make sure you don't lurch forward and scare your date trying to take his hand. You don't want to give off the wrong impression at this early stage in your relationship. You can also try gently rubbing your hands down your date's arm before you link your hands. This gives him a heads up before you grab his hand and adds a nice, more intimate touch to your initial hand holding. If your date pulls away, don't force the issue. It may be that he isn't interested, but he may also just be shy and is not quite ready to hold hands. Don't take it personally and try to make him feel comfortable in the situation. You'll get there eventually. Use the simple hand grasp technique at first. When you grab his hand, reach across his hand to where your palms are centered, making an X with your hands. Gently close your hand, wrapping your fingers and thumb around the edges of your date's hand. For the more intimate moment, consider gently rubbing your thumb across the back of his hand. This adds a layer of affection to your grasp and it lets him know you are enjoying the activity without you having to tell him. If he returns the gesture, you know you're doing it right. Try not to hold too tight. This can be uncomfortable and cause both of your hands to sweat. If you're out on a date, look for subtle signs that he might be ready for you to hold his hand. If your date has been giving you the cold shoulder all night, this is a sure sign that he is not interested. But if he has been walking close to you and seems comfortable, this is a good signal for initiating hand holding. If your date has found little ways to initiate gentle physical contact, like playfully pushing you or grabbing your arm, he is more than likely open to holding hands.

Write an article based on this "Preheat the oven. Make the dough. Make the straws. Cook the straws."
article: For this recipe, you need to preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Pull out a flat baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray. Set the pan aside. Take the stale bread and crumble it in a medium bowl. Stir in the flour, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour in the milk. It should start to feel like dough. Mix in the cheese. Knead the dough until the cheese is well mixed in. Since ingredients were rationed in the war, the amount of fresh flour is minimal. The use of stale bread allowed every resource to be used for something. If the mixture is too dry, add in a little milk at a time to thin it out. Roll the dough until it is about a 14 inch (0.6cm) thick. Cut the dough into strips that are 6 inches (15.2cm) long and a 1/2 inch wide. You may need to dust your work surface with flour so the dough doesn't stick to it. Place the straws in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool before serving.

Let go with one hand to point at someone. Rotate one arm and clasp your hands again. Rotate your hands. Pretend to get irritated and repeat."

As you do this trick, ask the audience to copy your hand motions. Do each step slowly, and explain to the audience what you're doing. You'll actually be doing one extra step you aren't telling them about. The audience will end up with tangled hands and arms, while you will be showing them two thumbs up. Hold your arms out in front of you, and point both thumbs downward. Remember, tell your audience to do the same thing you do. Wait until everyone has made this hand motion before you keep going. Move one arm over the other, still with both thumbs pointed downward. Clasp the fingers on your left hand and right hand together. Your wrists and the wrists of your audience members are now twisted around each other, with your fingers interlocking. As your audience figures out how to copy you, keep talking to them to distract them from what you're doing. Say, "not like that, cross your arms like me. Remember, your thumbs are pointing downward and you're holding your hands together. There! Look at her, she's doing it right." Keep your arms crossed over each other, but let go of your hands so you can point at the audience member you're talking about. Quickly, while the audience is still looking where you pointed, turn over the hand you pointed with. Flip that hand over completely, so your palms are touching again, then grasp your hands together. This will look similar to the position your audience members are in, but it is much less twisted. If you're trying to practice this and don't understand it, stop and put both hands in front of you with the thumbs facing up. Clasp your hands together, then turn them so the thumbs are pointing down. This is the position you want to end up in after this step. Keep talking and looking at your audience while you do this, not at your hands. Tell your audience to copy you, so everyone will give each other thumbs up. Move your hands up toward your chest, turning your hands so your thumbs are facing up. The audience will try to copy you, but because they're in a different position, they'll end up with their hands twisted, their arms still crossed, or other tangled gestures. Tell them they must be doing it wrong, and repeat the trick from the beginning. You can usually do this several times, while the audience laughs and wonders why they can't get it right. Use different distraction methods each time, so the audience doesn't get suspicious: Pull your hands apart to hold an audience member's hands, and guide them in the "right" position. Clasp your hands together again in the fake position only you know. Wave your hands around while clasped, shout "Abracadabra" or other "magic words," then spin around while changing the position of your hand.
