Problem: Article: Make sure to use a saucepan large and deep enough to hold all your eggs in a single layer (not stacking any on top of the others) with some room for them to move around. Place the pan in the sink and fill it with room temperature water until the eggs are covered by about 1 inch (2.5cm) of water. The more eggs you boil, the more water you'll need. If you're using more than 6 eggs, cover them with 2 inches (5.1cm) of water to ensure a good boil. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of vinegar or 12 teaspoon (2.5mL) salt to keep the eggs from cracking in the pan. Adding salt also makes it easier to peel the eggs when you're ready to eat! If you want to store your eggs, remove them from the water as soon as they're cool. Set them back in their original carton to prevent them from absorbing other food odors and eat within 1 week. Only store hard-boiled eggs that are still in their shell. Once you peel the shell off, you should make sure to eat the egg that day. If a hard-boiled egg feels slimy after you peel it, throw the egg away. This is a sign that bacteria have started to grow and the egg isn't good. Hard-boiled eggs with a dash of salt and pepper are great for a quick, healthy snack. You can also cut them in half to make deviled eggs, or slice them up for a tasty salad topper.
Summary: Place up to 6 eggs in a large saucepan. Cover the eggs with 1 inch (2.5cm) of water. Add vinegar or salt to prevent the eggs from cracking. Store hard-boiled eggs in their shells in the refrigerator for up to a week. Eat hard-boiled eggs plain, as an appetizer, or on a salad.

Problem: Article: Meyer lemons produce a ton of juice, but Fino, Lapithkiotiki, or Primofiori are a few other options. Meyer lemons are fairly sweet, so you could choose another type if you want a tart taste. These varieties are all smaller than regular grocery store lemons but feel heavy for their size. Pick up the lemons to test their weight. Set aside the heaviest ones for juice. Eureka and Lisbon lemons are the regular lemons you will commonly find year-round at stores. They are larger and paler than Meyer lemons but also very tart. Add sugar and water to the lemon juice if you want a sweeter flavor. Hold the lemons and squeeze them gently between your fingers. Soft lemons already have plenty of juice and will be ready for use as soon as you get home. The lemons should also have smooth skin with a deep yellow color. Lemons that feel mushy have already spoiled and should be avoided. Also, avoid lemons that feel hard or look shriveled. Lemons with light or green skin tend to be more acidic. You can use them if you want, but ripe lemons are usually better for juice. Put the lemons into a resealable plastic bag. Push as much air out of the bag as you can before closing and storing it. The lemons become much easier to squeeze after they have spent some time in the freezer. It's also a good way to save some juicy lemons to use whenever you need them throughout the year. Lemons don't spoil in the freezer. Instead, they dry up over time. Use them within 3 months for optimum quality. When you're ready to use the frozen lemons, take them out of the bag and place them in the microwave. Heat them at a low setting until they reach room temperature. Make sure they feel soft to the touch before attempting to juice them. You could also put the lemons in a bowl of warm water until they feel soft to the touch.
Summary: Choose heavy varieties of lemons to get more juice out of them. Pick lemons that feel soft but not mushy. Freeze the lemons until you're ready to juice them. Thaw the lemons by microwaving them for about 30 seconds.

Problem: Article: When you believe that your child is ready and motivated to stop wetting the bed, a bedwetting alarm may offer the most effective solution. The basis for the alarm is to arouse the child immediately upon wetting, prompting him or her to rise and finish in the toilet. When this happens repeatedly, the child is conditioned to awake when his or her bladder is fullbefore any bedwetting occurs. The pad alarm is positioned on the bed beneath the child; this type of alarm is not attached to your child's undergarments. The pad alarm may work very well if your child remains in one place while asleep, otherwise this type of alarm may not be effective. Some alarms require 2 steps to shut off, making it more difficult to turn it off without arousing. Wearable alarms may be wireless, attached to the underwear, or even built in the underwear. Many of the alarm units are attached to the bed shirt to make it harder to ignore. That being said, some kids find the wearable systems to be uncomfortable, in which case, there may be poor cooperation on your child's part. Ultimately, wearable alarms have evolved to solve the problem of bedwetters missing the pad-style alarms. In choosing between pad and wearable alarms, take into account your child's temperament, motivation, distance from your bedroom, and ease of arousal. The same principle applies for mattress products as well. All of these devices work by detecting moisture. When this occurs, an alarm or warning vibration is triggered. When deciding what to purchase, remember that a vibrating signal will not alert the parents, although alarm and vibration together may be useful. The volume of some alarms is adjustable. This may be useful for particularly sound sleepers or to provide a sufficiently loud signal that you can hear. Some of the alarm units can sit by the bedside, making them more easily heard. Also, some products offer, at additional cost, a remote unit that can be located by the parents' bedside if they need to be awakened as well. A parent plays an important role in alarm training. If the child does not quickly arouse and go to the bathroom, the parent must promptly awaken the child. Eventually, most kids with uncomplicated bedwetting will start responding on their own. Many children who wet the bed are described as sound sleepers, and indeed many are. This often raises concerns from parents that their child will not awaken when the alarm is triggered. In fact, at the beginning of alarm treatment, this is the rule, not the exception. It is quite interesting that a significant portion of children who stop wetting the bed after using the alarm do so by sleeping through the night dry rather than needing to awaken and go to the bathroom. Most of the causes of daytime wetting have one thing in common: timing. The strategy of timed voiding is to get children with urinary urgency and incontinence to empty their bladders on a strict schedule that gets them to the bathroom before they have the urge to go. This also helps them to understand the feeling of a full bladder before wetness occurs. In addition, there are daytime alarms that attach to the underwear during the day to sense wetness and alarm similar to a nighttime alarm. To optimize bladder training, a regular alert is very useful. At home, this can occur using an alarm clock or smart phone that can be set to multiple times. In school and while at play, consider an alarm watch that can be set to alert as often as is recommended by your doctor. Aim for 2 hour intervals if your child can manage this without the urge to urinate. You will need to alert your child's teacher to the plan so that your child is allowed to use the bathroom when the alarm goes off. Some children feel embarrassed when the alarm goes off frequently during the school day followed immediately by going to the bathroom. This may be addressed by using an alert watch that has the option to vibrate rather than give an audible signal.
Summary:
Try a bedwetting pad alarm. Try a wearable alarm. Consider how the alarm sounds. Know that with nighttime alarms, you may need to help. Try a daytime alarm, too.
