Q: You can add a little more or less salt to taste if you desire. Mix it in with your fingers, working with a handful of flour at a time. Keep mixing until all of the flour is coated with fat and a dough has begun to form. It should still be quite dry and flaky. Use your finger to work the water into the dough to loosen it up. The consistency should be soft and pliable, but not wet. Add more water if necessary. Put the dough on a clean surface and knead it with your hands for about 4 minutes, until it is smooth and slightly shiny. Form it into the shape of a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest on the counter while you make the filling. This will help the dough achieve a better texture.
A: Sieve the flour and salt together in a bowl. Add the ghee or oil. Mix in 5 tablespoons of water. Turn out the dough and knead it. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

Article: Your mother was on to something when she hounded you about standing up straight. Standing and sitting with improved posture can noticeably reduce the appearance of a bulge in your belly, even before you factor in fat-reduction and muscle-toning strategies. Most of us have attempted to "suck in our gut" at some point, but that is of course not sustainable. Proper posture, however, is sustainable. It can be learned and it can be made permanent. Visit How to Stand Up Straight for some simple posture strategies and exercises. It turns out that you can place a little bit of the blame for your bulging belly on our caveman ancestors. Part of the "fight or flight" reflex that helped protect our predecessors from sabre-tooth tigers triggers a release of cortisol, which signals the body to store fat in the abdominal area saving it as energy for tough times to come. One of the best ways to reduce cortisol levels, it turns out, is to reduce our overall stress (basically, reducing that "fight or flight" response). In turn, this should help reduce the amount of fat stored in the abdominal area. Check out How to Relieve Stress for a wide range of strategies for recognizing, addressing, and reducing your stress levels. A lack of sufficient sleep also causes stress on the body, and results in increased cortisol levels, which again trigger fat storage. Getting the amount of sleep that is right for your body should help reduce your cortisol levels, and therefore in turn your fat storage mechanism. Most adults need somewhere between seven to nine hours of sleep per day, but everyone's precise needs are different. How to Be a Morning Person offers some useful tips for determining how much sleep you need and how to help make sure you get it. In addition to an excess of abdominal fat, bloating can be a major (if often temporary) culprit for causing a less-than-flat stomach. Making some changes in diet and habits can help reduce your experiences of bloating. Excess salt intake is a common cause of bloating, because it facilitates water retention in the body. Skipping the salt shaker is a good idea, but the vast majority of most people's sodium intake comes from prepared and packaged foods. Read labels and menu boards for sodium content, and work to remain at or below recommended daily levels. Carbonated drinks not only tend to provide empty calories with no nutritional value, the carbonation itself can cause bloating just another reason to skip the soda. Bloating can sometimes be caused by digestive issues, and dairy products containing probiotics can help some people address this problem. Look for products like yogurt and kefir that contain "live and active cultures." Consider that constipation can cause bloating and the feeling of a fat tummy. Exercise is one way to help relieve constipation. Despite what some people assume, drinking lots of water does not cause "water-weight gain." Rather, drinking water helps flush out the system and limit bloating. The traditional advice has typically been that an adult should drink eight, 8-ounce glasses (two litres) of water per day. You should drink more water when you're exercising or on a hot day. We often don't feel thirsty even when our bodies need fluid, so it's a good idea to drink water regularly throughout the day. Drinking a glass of water before a meal can also help fill you up faster, thereby reducing your calorie intake.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Practice good posture. Work to reduce your stress level. Get more sleep. Battle bloating. Drink more water.

Q: It's important that your kids understand the value of bonding with their grandparents and having regular intergenerational interactions. Explain to your kids why it's important to you and their grandparents. Make sure you talk about tangible benefits appropriate to their age and developmental stage. Try saying, "Bobby, I am excited you want to spend time with Grandpa. I used to go horseback riding with my Grandpa as a child and those were some of the best moments of my life." Let your kids play a role in deciding how and when they will bond with their grandparents. Ask them to come up with a list of thing they love to do that they think Grandma would enjoy as well. You can also try asking your kids to write down things Grandpa might be able to teach them. Having a weekly meal where your children and their grandparents can get together and talk about the week's highlights is a great way to encourage bonding between your children and their grandparents. If the grandparents are open to it, invite them to take turns hosting the weekly event. You can even encourage your children to help their grandparents prepare a dish for the occasion. If the idea of a weekly dinner seems overwhelming, try a monthly gathering where everyone brings a dish or two to share. This will relieve pressure on both guests and hosts. Chances are your children are involved in a host of afterschool and weekend activities. Whether it's a football game, dance recital, or the school play, encourage your children to invite their grandparents to share in these important moments with them. You should also extend the invitation yourself to ensure the grandparents feel welcome at these events. If your kids are involved in sports, try giving their grandparents a copy of their game and practice schedule. This will allow the grandparents to plan ahead and participate more fully in such events. Many grandparents have busy schedules of their own. This often includes working full-time. It can be difficult for them to manage their own schedule as well as those of your children. This is why it's important to keep inviting them to events and opportunities to get involved in your children's lives. Just because Grandma couldn't make it to the ballet recital last month doesn't mean she won't be excited to attend this week's baton-twirling extravaganza. You will need to be clear about rules the children are expected to follow, and may need to ask the grandparents to childproof their home for younger children. Approach the topic in a friendly way by first thanking them for spending time with your kids. Let them know what your rules and expectations are, and listen to their responses while holding back your judgment. Try saying, "Dad, I'm really excited that you will be watching the kids after school this fall. We have some rules the boys need to follow. Do you think we can work together to make sure they follow them at your house, too? Make suggestions for childproofing. Try saying, "Mom, would it be possible for you to put childproof locks on your kitchen cabinets? I'm more than happy to buy and install them for you." If the grandparents do not have a close relationship with your children, knowing how to interact with the children may be awkward for them. Giving the grandparents some encouragement may help. Try saying something like, "Dad, thanks for putting that puzzle together with Jake. I know he really enjoys spending time with you." Or, "Mom, I know it's hard to connect with Jenna at her age, but you're doing a great job."
A:
Talk to your kids about bonding with their grandparents. Encourage your kids to come up with bonding activities. Host a weekly dinner. Invite the grandparents to extracurricular activities. Give grandparents multiple and ongoing opportunities to get involved. Discuss guidelines with your kids' grandparents. Facilitate interactions by offering encouragement.
