Article: In a heavy saucepan, heat the half and half to 175 degrees over low heat. Add in the sugar and salt while it cooks. Stir it until the sugar dissolves. Break your eggs into a bowl. Beat the eggs well. Next, take a small amount of the hot mixture and pour it into the eggs. Whisk them together. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking the mixture constantly. Cook the mixture over low heat until it reaches 160 degrees. It should coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove the pan from heat. Cool the pan down quickly by placing the pan in a large bowl of ice water. Stir the mixture while it rests in the bowl for 2 minutes. Stir in the whipping cream, vanilla, and milk. Put plastic wrap over the saucepan and place it in the refrigerator. Leave it in for several hours. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight. Take the mixture out of the refrigerator. Mash the bananas with a fork. Stir the bananas into the custard mixture. Take the cylinder of an ice cream freezer and fill it 2/3 the way full with your mixture. Let the ice cream make to the freezer's specifications. Place the remaining mixture back in the fridge while you wait for the first batch to make. Once the ice cream is frozen, transfer it from the ice cream cylinder to a freezer safe container. Make the remaining mixture. Place the ice cream in the freezer for 2-4 hours before serving to get the desired consistency. This recipe makes 3 quarts of ice cream. If you don't like custard or cannot have eggs, you may want to try a variation on this recipe. Blend 4 ripe bananas, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream in a blender until smooth. Place the mixture in an ice cream freezer and make according to the directions. Serve and enjoy. This recipe makes 4 servings. You can put this mixture in a freezer safe bowl and freeze it if you don't have an ice cream freezer. Stir the mixture every few hours until it is the desired texture you want.

Article: Many health clubs, sports stores, and gyms with tennis courts have string mounts they use to restring racquets at a cost, usually somewhere between $25-$50 a job. The machines themselves cost anywhere from $200 to several thousand dollars, depending on the quality. If you play tennis several times a week paying to have $6 worth of string put on your racquet can start to add up, and you'll be able to recoup the savings of buying your own stringing machine relatively quickly. The Gamma X-2 is a common tabletop model, with a 2-point mounting system and drop-weight tension. It's the cheapest and highest-quality string mount for the DIY stringer. If you play a few times a year, or only on weekends, it probably doesn't make sense to invest in your own string mounting system. Pay to have your racquet restrung when the strings wear out, or find one you can use yourself for free. Start by cutting 35 to 40 feet (10.7 to 12.2m) (10 to 12 m) of new string off a spool. For a basic 95 square-inch racquet with a basic crossing pattern, you'll probably need about 38 feet (11.6m) of string to finish the job. In general, it's better to have cut off too much and waste some than start with too short a piece and have to start over. After you string up your racquet the first time, account for the extra you've used to tie the knots and cut a piece of the appropriate size for your racquet. Start with too much and home in on your ideal string length. Use a sharp knife, cut the old and broken strings out of the racquet as soon as possible after you decide they're worn out, or one breaks. Start with the strings in the middle of the racquet and cut towards the outside strings. Inspect the rubber grommets on the rim of the racquet for signs of wear and have new grommets installed if necessary. Depending on the specific restringing machine you're using, the mounting process will be slightly different. Secure the head and the neck of the racquet in the designated mounting brackets and press down on the clamps to secure it firmly. Adjust the tension as directed. 6-point mounting systems distribute the tension on the racquet more evenly, but whatever kind of machine you're using, you need to make sure the clamps are secured on the racquet. It should be tight enough to stay still when you shake the grip, but not so tight as to warp the frame.

Find a suitable stringing machine. Measure out the string. Prep the racquet for stringing. Mount the racquet on the stringing machine.
Article: Some people also develop redness and irritation from using baking soda on their underarms. If this happens to you (or even if you just want to try another method), then this recipe is for you. Begin by gathering the necessary ingredients. You'll need a digital kitchen scale to measure out the ingredients. This recipe calls for: 30g coconut oil 20g Shea butter 10g carrier oil (your preference of almond, castor, or avocado oil all work well) 10g beeswax 15g arrowroot powder 15g food-grade diatomaceous earth 1 vitamin E capsule (400 IU) 10 drops of essential oil If you have a double boiler, you can use it to melt these ingredients together, or you can simply place all of them in a heavy, heat-safe jar and place the jar in a pan of boiling water. Use low heat and stir everything in evenly. The beeswax will take the longest to melt, but have patience. Once the beeswax finally melts and you stir it in, remove the mixture from the heat and give it a couple of minutes to coolup to five. Before the mix hardens and begins to solidify, mix in the rest of the ingredients (break the vitamin E capsule to add it). Whisk all of the ingredients together well to ensure an even distribution of the materials. If you've never tested the essential oil you've chosen on your skin before, then try a drop or two on your underarm first and wait several minutes to make sure that it doesn't irritate your skin at all. This recipe will set into a roll-on solid deodorant fairly quickly. Once the final ingredients are whisked in, you can pour it into a storage container of your choice. A shallow jar will do. You can simply rub some of the deodorant onto your fingers and then apply it to your underarms as needed. If you prefer the familiar, roll-on stick form, then you can pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for an hour before removing them. Wrap each individual stick in wax paper or parchment paper before storing them to help avoid having them melt together.
