Q: Having fresh, kissable breath is a major component of having a knockout first kiss. Make sure that you have brushed your teeth and used mouthwash some time before the kiss, or that you chewed minty gum or sucked on a breath mint before the kiss. You can do this an hour or so before -- you don't want your breath to be too minty or it will look like you tried a little too hard to get ready for the kiss. If you had dinner or ate before the kiss, you should avoid ordering any foods that are heavy in garlic, onions, or any intense spices. It's important to share your first kiss in an intimate or romantic atmosphere. Your first kiss may be something you remember for the rest of your lives, so you should make it special. You don't have to bring out a thousand candles or serenade the person, but you should pick the ideal time and place for a kiss. Kiss in the evening. Kissing as the sun is setting or after it has fallen is more romantic than kissing during the day. You'll also feel less shy about your first kiss if you're kissing in the dark. Kiss somewhere private. Pick a private location that is free of distractions or onlookers so you can really focus on your kiss. Pick a secluded park bench, a nice spot near a beach or a lake, or even your own balcony. Look nice. Dress up a little bit to signify that you're about to have a special moment. You don't want to have your first kiss in your gym clothes. This is an important point. You can set the mood and prepare your breath all you want, but nothing you do will matter if your partner is not ready for the kiss. Before you share the kiss, make sure your partner has exhibited signs of liking you, whether it's through going on a date, touching you, or even telling you how he or she feels. If your partner keeps gazing into your eyes, touching you lightly, and smiling, then you'll know that she's ready for the kiss. Before you get ready for the kiss, you need to make sure to take it slow and to be gentle. If you're too aggressive or rough, your partner will get the wrong message, and the kiss will feel too forced. Here are some things to avoid before you go in for your first kiss: French kissing. Don't immediately shove your tongue in your partner's mouth and leave saliva everywhere. If your partner is bold and is gently touching her tongue with yours, then you can move in for a French kiss, but don't try this in the first few seconds of your traditional kiss. Biting. Nibbling on your partner's lip or even tongue can be a kinky way to spice up your kisses. But if you do this during your first kiss, your partner will be caught off guard and may even jump back. The roaming hands. You should make physical contact with your partner, move your bodies closer, and caress your partner's head or shoulders with your hands. You should not grope your partner in any inappropriate places during your first kiss. This is doing way too much at once, and will come off as sleazy and will make your first kiss feel insincere.
A: Freshen your breath. Set the mood. Make sure your partner is ready. Remember to avoid some kissing pitfalls.

Article: It will usually be simplest to portion out your rice in whole cups. For example, two people sharing a cozy meal may only eat two to three cups of rice, whereas a larger meal may require six to eight. Working with even quantities will make it much easier to figure out exactly how much water you need to produce perfectly cooked rice. Using a dry measuring cup to scoop your rice will help you avoid any troublesome guesswork. For best results, only prepare as much rice as you plan on eating. Leftover rice doesn't reheat well. Place the brown rice in a mesh strainer or sieve and run it under the faucet, circling the strainer beneath the stream. This will rinse away most of the starch, which will prevent the grains from becoming sticky when cooked. Continue washing the rice until the water runs clear. You may notice that the water draining out of the rice has a slightly milky appearance. This is normal. Shake out as much excess water as you can before cooking the rice. Place the newly washed rice in the bottom of the cooker and spread it out. When preparing a lot of rice at once, make sure it's properly distributed so that it will cook evenly. Don't add more rice to the rice cooker than it can hold at one time. If you need to prepare an especially large amount, do it in batches.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Q: If you make frequent calls to Hong Kong, a calling card might be a cost-saving option. When you purchase an international calling card, you are essentially purchasing calling credit. Calling cards normally cost between $10 and $50. In general, the more expensive the card, the more calling credit you receive. There are many options when choosing a calling card, so make sure you compare and read the fine print to decide which one is best for your situation. You will still be paying a per-minute rate when you use a calling card. This rate, however, will probably be much less expensive than calling without using a calling card. The per-minute rate for calling cards will vary, but usually start around one or two cents per minute. Be aware of hidden charges. Many calling card companies charge a connection fee or a weekly fee. Your calling card will come with an access number. Enter this number into your phone before dialing the Hong Kong telephone number. It is extremely important to enter the access code, otherwise, you will be charged the normal price-per-minute for international calls instead of the less expensive rate your calling card provides you. Most calling cards require you to choose a PIN. Once you enter your calling card access number, you should be prompted to enter your PIN. After entering your PIN, enter the 8-digit Hong Kong telephone number you are trying to reach. Press the send button on your phone to place your call.
