Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look the food packaging. Inspect the food. Smell the food. Check the date. Deal with the freezer burned food.

Answer: An opening in the food packaging or a tear in the plastic indicate that the food has been exposed to cold, outside air, and has a higher chance of being freezer burned. Remove the food from the packaging, and check the food for dry areas, areas of discoloration, and ice crystals. Food with any of these qualities, is highly likely to be freezer burned. The exact color of freezer burn discoloration varies depending on the food, but freezer burn tends to look white on poultry (chicken), grayish-brown on meat (steak), white on vegetables, and icy crystals formations on ice cream. Patches of wrinkling on meat or vegetables are also an indication that your food might be freezer burned. Smell the food and see if you can detect an unpleasant plastic-y and stale "freezer" odor. When fat from food comes in contact with air outside of its packaging and oxidizes, it creates the gross freezer flavor and smell we associate with freezer burn. Store bought food is usually labeled with a storage date. Check the label and determine if the food has been stored past this date. If your food is past the labeled date, and has ice crystals, your food is most likely freezer burned. Freezer burned food is not unsafe to eat. However, you can save a majority portion of the food you plan to eat by trimming off the freezer burned areas, and preparing and eating the rest of the food like normal. If the freezer burn is widespread, throwing out the food may be the best option. Even though the food is safe to eat, it will be flavorless, or have a strange flavor. Freezer burned ice cream, will have small ice crystals formations on the surface, which are perfectly fine to eat, though not very appetizing.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use the pillows as moving and packaging materials. Use the stuffing to give lumpy cushions or old toys a new lease of life. Place a tough cover on the pillow to make a garden kneeling cushion. Make floor cushions with the pillows to create fun, practical accessories. Create a pet bed for a craft your four-legged friend will love. Make a draft stopper using old pillow stuffing for a simple DIY project.

Answer: Old pillows are great free packaging! Use whole pillows for filling in the spaces while moving furniture to prevent damage. Alternatively, you can use just the stuffing to pack fragile objects tightly in moving boxes or storage containers. Packaging that is made from old pillows can be reused indefinitely. Solid memory foam and latex pillows make especially good packaging, as they can be cut to size. Sometimes a bit of stuffing is all it takes to revive tired cushions and children's soft toys. Simply remove the stuffing from the pillows and place it inside the throw cushion or toy casing. Pack the stuffing tightly and zip or button the casing back up when you're done. If you're looking for a decor upgrade, you can also make your own throw cushions using the old pillow stuffing. Kneeling cushions make gardening much more enjoyable for your knees! Use a sturdy, vinyl pillowcase as a cover or get a specialty outdoor cover to make the kneeling cushion extra durable. Floor cushions are great for watching movies or playing board games, and they are especially popular in family or toy rooms. Put the pillows inside pre-made cushion covers that are large enough for 2 or more pillows or make your own covers if you're feeling creative. If your pet has an existing bed that is a bit old and tired, simply remove the cover, give it a wash, and stuff it until it's firm with stuffing from the old pillows. For a whole new bed, use 2-4 old pillows with pillowcases and sew them together. Cover the pillows with a warm, fleece blanket or an old comforter that can be easily washed. Your pet will probably enjoy sleeping on your old pillows since they have a familiar smell. Draft stoppers are great for preserving energy and keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of durable fabric approximately 6in (15cm) thick and as long as the base of your drafty door or window. Sew the pieces of fabric together leaving a short edge open and fill the casing with alternated sections of popcorn kernels and old pillow stuffing. Sew the open end closed and place the draft stopper in front of the door or window. The popcorn kernels weigh the draft stopper down so it stays in place.

Answer:
You will need to have some kind of legal structure for your business. Consulting with an expert, such as a small business attorney or a Small Business Administration office, will help you make sure that your business gets what it needs to succeed. A small business attorney can help you figure out what the best structure will be for your needs. An attorney will also be able to guide you through the process of obtaining permits and licenses, as well as ensuring that you comply with any regulations in your area. The US Small Business Administration has District Offices throughout the country that offer free counseling and advice about how to start a small business. You can find a local office on their website. They also have over 900 "Small Business Development Centers" (SBDCs) that can help you plan and execute your business decisions. Many restaurant and coffee shop owners go with a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which protects your personal assets in case the business runs into trouble. While you can run your business as a "sole proprietorship," this is usually not a good idea, as your personal assets are usually on the line if your business incurs liabilities. You may also want to consult with a small business accountant. The work of running your restaurant may be so much that you need to hand the bookkeeping over to someone else. Restaurants and coffee shops are small businesses, so they must be located within a commercial zone. You must acquire the necessary permits and other documentation before proceeding. Most areas will not allow you to sell food or beverages unless you have a commercial kitchen on-site. This means that home-based businesses are usually out. The SBA has a "Permit Me" tool that will help you determine what licenses and permits your state requires. Health codes vary depending on your location, but in order to establish a business that will sell food and/or drinks, you must comply with all the local regulations regarding food safety. Be aware that you will generally need to submit your application to your local environmental health department at least a month in advance of opening your business. You should also be aware of any particular regulations involving the sale of alcohol. While laws vary depending on your location, the laws surrounding alcohol are generally complex, so make sure you understand them. You'll want to make sure that your restaurant or coffee shop is in a convenient, easily accessible location. Often, nearby businesses will help generate foot traffic that can benefit your business too. It is generally much cheaper to renovate an existing restaurant or coffee shop than it is to build one from scratch (or convert a non-eatery to an eatery). You may want to lease rather than purchase, especially if you have never operated a small restaurant or coffee shop before. Make sure to consider things like parking facility, rent rates, and city/county ordinances when choosing your space. Check out the history of the site, too; if there have been eight failed restaurants in your space before yours, there could be something about the site that isn't great for food service establishments. Restaurants and coffee shops have many areas that could open you up to liability, including worker safety, food safety, and liquor liability. Many areas require any restaurant or coffee shop that sells alcohol to carry liquor liability insurance, which will protect your business against lawsuits or liability from wrongdoing resultant from alcohol consumed at your business. In most areas, you'll also need to carry workers compensation insurance. Even if not required, insurance is an excellent idea. Property insurance and general liability insurance will help protect you and your business.
