Problem: Article: If you want your friendship to last, then you should be able to forgive your friend and to move forward. If you hold a grudge and let your bitterness and resentment build up, then you won't be able to move forward. Recognize that nobody's perfect and that if your friend is sincerely sorry and if they didn't do something too horrible, that you should move past it. If your friend really did do something so unforgivable that you just can't get past it, then it's better to move on than to try to save the friendship when it's doomed. But this should happen very rarely. If you're angry at your friend but won't tell them why you'll never be able to forgive them if you don't talk about it. To make your friendship thrive, you shouldn't try to change your friend or make your friend see the world from your perspective. Celebrate what makes your friend (and you) unique! If you're conservative and your friend is liberal, then accept that instead of trying to argue about it all the time. You should appreciate the fresh perspective your friend can bring to your experiences instead of wanting your friend to see everything from your perspective. The more you are with one another, the less you idealize each other and the more you accept one another for who you really are. This is what being a truly good friend is really about -- caring deeply for each other, even if you know you're both full of flaws. A friend will wait while you do your homework. A great friend stays up all night helping. Remember that if you are a good friend, people want to be a good friend to you. Recognize the moments when you need to go above and beyond to help your friend and know that this will make your friendship grow, and that your friend will do the same for you in return. If your friend really needs you and keeps saying, "No, you don't have to do that..." learn to read between the lines and know that your friend really does need you. As the years pass, people tend to grow apart. Maybe you and a friend will move to different places and only see each other every once in a while. Sometimes years may elapse without much contact. If you never stop caring about your friend, speak up. They will be happy to hear from you. You were friends for a reason in the past, and you may find the same bond still ties you together. Don't let your location determine the strength of your bond. If your friendship is meaningful, then it should keep growing even if you're an ocean apart. Make a goal of having monthly phone or Skype dates with your friend even if you're in a completely different time zone. If keeping up with your friend becomes a routine, your relationship will continue to thrive. If you want to be a good friend, then you have to understand that your friendship won't be the same in high school, college, or in the adult world. Sure, when you were fourteen, you might have spent all of your time with your best friend, but by the time you went off to separate colleges or started your serious relationships, you naturally spent less time talking. This doesn't mean that your friendship isn't as strong; it just means that your lives are evolving, and your friendship is taking on a different shape over the years. Don't try to make your friendship be exactly the same as it was ten years ago. Think of it as elastic, not solid. If your friend is married with kids or even just in a serious relationship, and you're not, be respectful of the fact that, while your friend cares for you, they won't be on call 24/7 like they used to be. Appreciate the changes your friendship has made over the years, and learn to grow along with your relationship. Your friend needs to be a good friend to you in return.
Summary: Learn to forgive. Accept your friend for who they are. Go beyond the call of duty. Stay in touch no matter what. Let your friendship evolve.

Problem: Article: Pour enough gravy into each mold, making sure it reaches the top, but doesn't spill over. Use a knife to cut each cube into four small pieces. To make the cubes easier to cut, allow them to soften for a few minutes after removing them from the freezer. A knife that's been dipped in hot water can also make slicing easier. Mix the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper very well with the mashed potatoes until the result is creamy. Use bowls that are deep, so it's easier to roll the mashed potato balls in the coating.
Summary: Pour the gravy into an ice cube tray. Freeze the gravy for about 4 hours, or overnight, until solid. Remove and slice the gravy cubes. Combine the mashed potatoes with the cheese and spices in a large bowl. Place the beaten eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls.

Problem: Article: When you first get your cookware, treat it like you would any other cookware. Wash it in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it completely. Season your cookware with oil to help prevent food from sticking to it. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water. Rather, allow your pans to cool completely before washing. Cold water can warp a hot pan. This is only relevant for hot pans and cold water. Putting hot pans in hot water or cold pans in hot water will not warp your cookware. Wash your cookware by hand. Use a mild dish washing liquid and hot or warm water. Clean your cookware as soon as possible after using it. This will help maintain it and make washing it easier.
Summary:
Wash your cookware before you use it. Prevent warping while washing your pans. Wash with soap and hot water.
