INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of milk. For best results, use grass-fed. whole milk. You can also use 4 cups (950 milliliters) of milk and 2 cups (475 milliliters) of cream. You can gauge the temperature by sticking a cooking thermometer into the pot, then clipping it to the side. If you don't have a thermometer, just wait until the milk starts to simmer. 180F (83C) is the temperature at which milk simmers. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pot. If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use white vinegar instead; the taste of the end product will be nearly identical. This recipe will produce ricotta cheese as well. If you wish to eat the cheese, white vinegar may actually be the better of the two options. If you are using milk and cream, add tablespoon (8.5 grams) of salt and 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) lemon juice or white vinegar instead. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Take it off of the burner and set it some place where it won't get disturbed. Leave it there for 20 minutes. Place a large strainer on top of a bowl. Line the strainer with a piece of cheesecloth. Scoop the curds into the strainer with a spoon or ladle. Pour the rest of the liquid into a large pitcher or jar, and store it in the fridge. It's best if you place the bowl into the fridge for this step. It may take at least two hours for the whey to drain out, and you don't want the milk to spoil. Pour the whey (both from the pitcher and the bowl) into the trays that came with your dehydrator; you'll need about 1 cup (240 milliliters) per tray. Process the whey according to the instructions on your dehydrator. Each brand will be different, but for most dehydrators, it will be 12 hours at 135F (58C). Pour all of the whey into a pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a steady boil. Let it cook until it becomes thick and clumpy. Spread it over a tray lined with parchment paper or wax paper, and let it cool off. Break it into tiny pieces, then let it dry for about 24 hours. A mason jar would work great for this. Use the protein powder in protein shakes, cupcakes, bread, etc.

SUMMARY: Pour the milk into a large pot. Heat the milk to 180F (83C). Stir in 5 tablespoons (75 milliliters) of lemon juice. Let the solution rest off-heat for 20 minutes. Transfer the curds and whey into a bowl topped with a lined strainer. Allow the whey to drain completely from the curdles. Use a dehydrator to process the whey, if you have one. Process the whey by hand if you don't have a dehydrator. Store the protein powder in a lidded container.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a packed bar, good etiquette means knowing what you want before you approach the bartender. A good bar will not rush you along, but nonetheless, you should know as much about what you want as possible before talking with the bartender. A possible exception, however, would be if you are inquiring about the brands of gin or vodka available. Also note that if the bar is not particularly crowded, you might be able to take a bit more time ordering, especially if you can tell that no one else is waiting to place a drink order. Have a firm presence but be polite. The most appropriate way to get a bartender's attention is to stand at the bar in a spot where you can be seen. Establish eye contact and offer a smile. These actions alone should be enough to tell a good bartender to walk over once he becomes available. When ordering for someone else, make sure you know what that person wants before getting up to the bar. Do not call back and ask for his or her order after you have already caught the attention of the bartender. Moreover, if you are ordering for more than just yourself, you should have enough money in your hand to suggest as much. Do not wave the money around, though, as this is considered a sign of rudeness. Never try to get the bartender's attention by waving your money, snapping your fingers, or yelling. Once you have the bartender's attention, it is time to tell him what you want. Use the lingo you learned to order your martini. Call your base first, specify your preferred concentration of vermouth, indicate if you want ice, ask for your garnish, and finish off with how you want the bartender to mix it together. For example, order a martini with Beefeater, extra dry and with a twist, straight up if you want a martini made with Beefeater brand gin and very little vermouth. It will have a lemon twist, and the gin will be chilled with ice before being strained into the cocktail glass. As another example, order a dirty martini with vodka, wet and shaken if you want a martini made with the cheapest vodka at the bar, extra vermouth, and olive brine. It will have the standard olive garnish, and it will be mixed with ice in a cocktail shaker.

SUMMARY: Know what you want before you approach the bar. Get the bartender's attention. Put it all together.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One of the most effective ways you can help save whales is by joining an organization that is actively working to stop practices that harm whales. You can become a member of a conservation organization with a small donation. Students can usually join for a reduced fee. Support an organization like the World Wildlife Fund or Greenpeace, which are both working to help save whales. One of the most important ways you can help whale populations is with a continuing donation to a conservation organization. Instead of making a one-time gift, consider setting up a monthly donation in a smaller amount. Try making a monthly donation to a conservation organization like the Natural Resources Defense Council. Some organizations allow individuals to make a symbolic whale adoption. For a donation to the organization, you can symbolically adopt a whale while donating cash to the cause. Many organizations will give you a personalized adoption certificate commemorating your adoption. Try adopting a whale through an organization like Defenders of Wildlife.

SUMMARY: Join a conservation organization. Consider an ongoing monthly gift. Adopt a whale.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt to your morning smoothie. Yogurts, especially Greek yogurts, contain a lot of protein and can also help a smoothie develop a thick, creamy texture. Make sure not to get yogurts with added sugar, as these are generally not as healthy as plain yogurts. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, and other nut butters are rich sources that can add flavor to your morning smoothie. Go for organic, natural nut butters, free of unhealthy preservatives and additives, to add a healthy source of protein to your morning smoothie. Watch serving sizes, however. While nut butters are healthy, they contain a lot of calories. Make sure you only add a small amount of nut butter. Rice milk and hemp milk are not great sources of protein. Skim milk or soy milk can add a creamy taste to your smoothie while upping the protein content. Try mixing in a little soy or skim milk to your morning smoothie if you're trying to increase your protein intake.

SUMMARY:
Add yogurt. Mix in natural nut butters. Add milk or soy milk.
