INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eye contact lets a person know that you see them and that they are being heard. It can also draw people closer together. As you talk or flirt with the person you want to kiss, make sure you are looking directly into their eyes as much as possible. Try to sit across from them so that it's easier to make eye contact, or look at them often if you are walking next to them. To let someone know you are interested in them, try putting your hand on their knee or holding their hand. It will be much easier to hint at a kiss if you two have already broken the physical barrier in other ways. If you are sitting close to each other, you can even put your arm around their shoulders. If you want to decrease the distance between you two, try twirling a strand of their hair in between your fingers. Don't pull hard or hurt them, but gently stroke a piece of hair while noting how soft it is. This will let them know that you're interested in being close to them. If the person you like has short hair, this might be a little bit too awkward to try. Kissing is all in the lips, so try to subtly bring your partner's eyes toward them. Lick your lips with the tip of your tongue or bite your bottom lip to have the person you want to kiss start thinking about your mouth. If you'd like to hint not-so-subtly that you want to kiss someone, tell them that their lips look soft. This will send a clear message that you want to kiss them, but still leaves it open-ended. If they are wearing lipstick or gloss, say, "That color looks great on you!" If not, try saying, "Your lips look super soft." No one likes to be pressured into doing something, especially on a first kiss with someone. If the timing feels wrong or your kissing partner looks uncomfortable, save kissing for another time. The person you want to kiss might feel weird if you are around other people or if they haven't kissed anyone before.

SUMMARY: Make eye contact with them to create intimacy. Touch them on the hand or knee to break the physical barrier. Play with their hair to get close to them. Lick your lips to draw attention to them. Compliment their lips to be direct. Avoid pushing someone out of their comfort zone.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're avoiding eggs for dietary reasons and not just because your fridge is understocked check the brownie mix ingredients first. Some brownie mixes contain whey or other dairy products not suitable for vegans. Less commonly, some brands include egg whites. The easiest option is to follow the recipe printed on the box. For each egg in the recipe, replace it with one of the following: 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely ground flax seeds, mixed into 3 tbsp (45 mL) water and allowed to thicken for five minutes. cup (60 mL) plain nonfat yogurt (or soy yogurt for a vegan recipe) An egg replacement product, available at health food stores Eggs are complex ingredients. While most egg substitutes can replace the moisture and the ability to hold the batter together, they do not form the same foaming structure that eggs do. Try adding tsp (2.5 mL) baking powder to the mix to create a slightly airier batter and avoid a dense, collapsed brownie. This is a ballpark figure, since brownie mixes come in many different recipes. You may need to experiment with adding more. If you don't want to worry about all these egg substitutes, you can skip the recipe on the box and go with a two-ingredient recipe instead. Here are a couple options which may sound strange, but which end up working pretty well: Open a can of black beans (~15 oz). Drain and rinse well to reduce salt, fill can with water, and blend until you don't see any bean skins. Mix with a box of brownie mix (~20 oz) and bake on a greased pan until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Combine a can of pumpkin puree (~15 oz) with a box of brownie mix (~20 oz). Bake for about 2530 minutes or according to package instructions.

SUMMARY: Start with a box of brownie mix. Replace the eggs with simple substitutes. Consider adding a rising agent. Try a quick brownie mix recipe instead.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Iced coffee is great with regular ice, but it's even better with coffee cubes. Next time you let a pot of morning brew sit too long, pour it into a clean ice cube tray and let it freeze. Next time you want to have iced coffee, drop a few of those into it. Delicious. These also go great in mixed drinks and cocktails, or as an addition to chocolate milk. If you don't like coffee, try freezing herbal tea, lemonade, or any drink you prefer. Another delicious addition to a fruity cocktail or mixed drink is a fruit-juice ice cube. Freeze cranberry cocktail cubes and add it to your iced tea. Freeze pineapple-mango juice to pop into your next smoothie. This is a great way to spice up any drink. Generally, citrus juices don't work quite as well as other fruit juices and cocktails. Anything based in apple or grape juice works really well. In the summer time, a good way to save money is to make popsicles in the fridge yourself. Mix up a batch of you favorite Kool-Aid flavor or other fruit drink and pop it not the ice cube tray. About halfway through, stick toothpicks into the centers, or just pop them out and let the kids eat them outside. You can also get molds made specifically for making popsicles, which have plastic holders that you can reuse. They're a lot of fun for kids. One great visual treat is to add a single blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, or grape to each section of the ice cube tray and then cover them with water. Squeeze a little lemon juice or lemonade onto the fruit, then cover with water, or the fruit juice of your choice. These make great little additions to any mixed drink, or just a plain glass of water. If your garden goes crazy with herbs, a great way to save them for later in the season is to chop up the herbs finely, then pack them into an empty ice cube tray and cover with a small amount of water. When they freeze up, pop them out and keep them in a freezer bag. These are great for cooking later in the season. You can toss a cube of basil into a soup pot, or toss a cube or mint into a big pitcher of fresh iced tea. You could also do this with sage, thyme, parsley, cilantro, or any combination of herbs you regularly use. While it won't really add any flavor to the cubes, it can be fun to add a drop of food coloring to individual sections on the ice cube tray and let them freeze. It's a fun project for kids, and makes a plain water glass a lot more fun.

SUMMARY:
Make coffee cubes. Freeze your favorite fruit juice. Make your own popsicles. Add berries or other fruit. Freeze chopped mint, basil, or other herbs. Add food coloring for fun.
