Answer: In Hawaii, casual is key. Even for formal events, formal attire is not required. Instead, opt for semi-formal for events like shows, dinners, and other somewhat fancier evening festivities. For women, dress pants and a blouse are appropriate for more formal events. If you'd prefer to wear a dress, opt for a casual dress like a sun dress or a maxi dress. You can also wear a skirt with a nice blouse. For men, go for slacks or dress shirts. You can wear a polo shirt or a knit dress shirt. Jackets are rarely required, but you can wear one if you choose. Ties are rarely seen, so they're optional. As stated, dress shoes are rare in Hawaii. Even at a formal event, you can get buy with sandals. You may want to choose a nice pair of tennis shoes or flats if you want to dress up. Fancier sandals, such as sandals with lacy or beaded straps, are also an option for formal dinners. Keep in mind it does get cold in Hawaii during the night. You may want a closed toe shoe for evening events, especially those that take place outdoors. It can get cooler in Hawaii at night. You way want to layer slightly. Throw on a light sweater or jacket over your t-shirt. You can also try something like a cardigan if you get chilly. It's a good idea to pack a few outfits you can layer. A tank-top can be suitable during the day. Then, when it gets chilly, throw a cardigan over it. Versatile outfits you can layer and un-layer are great for Hawaii. During the winter or rainy season, it can get cold and rainy. If you are visiting at that time, pack a jacket and rain jacket. It's not necessary to pack a suit and tie or an evening gown for a Hawaii vacation. Casual is key on the island, so leave your fanciest clothes behind. In addition to helping you fit in on the island, you will also free up space in your suitcase. If you're traveling for business, however, have a few formal outfits on-hand. You may stand out at a bar in a fancy gown, but if you're meeting clients at a hotel, formality is expected.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lay the sage in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Set your oven on the lowest temperature. Prop open the oven door if you have an electric oven. Turn the sage leaves after 30 minutes. Allow the sage to dry for 1 hour. Test the sage for dryness.

Answer: It's best to wrap the cookie sheet in muslin or parchment paper before you put the sage on it. Make sure that the leaves do not touch each other or overlap, as this can make them dry unevenly. If only part of the leaf dries, then the sage could be ruined. Choose the lowest temperature on your oven because oven drying can quickly destroy the flavor, color, and oils in the sage. You should dry the leaves as slowly as possible to prevent damage. The highest temperature you should use is 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This allows the air to circulate, which the herbs need to dry. It also keeps the temperature from rising too high inside the oven. If you have a gas oven, don't prop open the oven because it's dangerous to let the gas fill the kitchen. Instead, open the oven every 5 minutes to allow the air to circulate. Pull the cookie sheet from the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Wear oven mitts and use tongs or a fork to flip the sage. Then return the tray to the oven. Set a timer and check the sage every 15 minutes to make sure that it is not drying too quickly. If you suspect that the sage is dry before you reach the 1 hour mark, pull it early. It's easy to over-dry the herb. The leaves should be dry and crispy. Rub a leaf between your fingers to see if it crumbles easily.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Soak the seeds. Fill a disposable plastic seedling tray with soil. Poke a hole in the soil with your finger or the end of a pencil. Bury the seeds. Place the seed tray in a warm location. Keep the seeds moist.

Answer:
Pour your seeds into a small plastic cup and fill it with warm water. Allow the seeds to sit for two to eight hours, until they sink to the bottom of the cup. Soaking the seeds breaks down some of the hard coating, speeding up the germination process. You can also try soaking the pepper seeds in weak chamomile tea or a solution made with 1 cup (250 ml) warm water and 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 or 10 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide. These solutions are even more effective at breaking down the coating and have the added benefit of disinfecting the seeds. A sterilized, loose-draining potting mix purchased from a garden supply or home improvement store should be sufficient. The hole should be about 1/4 inch (2/3 cm) deep. Drop one seed into each hole and loosely cover it with additional soil. Sweet bell peppers germinate best when the soil temperature is at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) or higher. If possible, sit the seedling tray on top of a seedling heat mat. Otherwise, place it on a warm, sunny windowsill. Once the surface of the soil becomes dry, spray it down with water. Do not drench the soil, but do not allow it to dry out.
