Q: Using a knife, carefully cut the seed heads off of the plant. If you handle the heads too roughly or quickly, you may lose a lot of seeds, so be gentle. You can dry the fennel leaves as well, but it usually isn't recommended because they tend to lose most of their flavor during the process. You can be rough here. The goal is to break the seeds loose from the head. Firmly shake the bag up and down for about 30 seconds. Remove the rest of the plant matter from the bag. Check the heads to be sure the seeds have been released, and if not, use your fingers to remove them. Allow the seeds to dry out in a warm, ventilated space for 2-4 days. Alternatively, you can dry the seeds in your oven on the lowest temperature setting for about 5-10 minutes. Just place the seeds on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Plastic storage containers with lids, spice bottles, or glass mason jars are good options. Store in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry. You can also store the seeds in the freezer. Use the dried seeds within 6 months for the best flavor.
A: Remove the seed heads from the fennel stalk. Place the seed heads in a paper bag and shake the bag firmly. Separate the seeds. Spread the fennel seeds evenly on a drying screen. Transfer the fennel seeds to an airtight container.

Q: The Hail Mary prayeralso called the Angelic Salutationis a traditional Catholic prayer asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. In Roman Catholicism, the prayer forms the basis of the Rosary and the Angelus prayers. In the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, a similar prayer is used in formal liturgies, both in Greek and in translations. It is also used by many other groups within the Catholic tradition of Christianity including Anglicans, Independent Catholics, and Old Catholics. Some Protestant denominations, such as Lutherans, also make use of a form of the prayer. Catholics believe that although Mary was a godly young woman, and greatly blessed to bear the Savior, she was not divine, even though she was sinless. One should not worship her, but one may venerate or pray to her because devotion to Mary is a way to get closer to God. The text of the Hail Mary prayer incorporates two Bible passages: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28) and "Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:42). The third part of the Hail Mary prayer ("Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.) is not directly from the Bible, but it is clearly in agreement with 1 Timothy 2:1-4 ("First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.") The first passage (Luke 1:28) is the Angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary. He said these words when he came to inform her that she had been chosen to bear the Messiah. The second passage (Luke 1:42) cites the greeting that Mary's cousin Elizabeth gave her when Mary came to visit. Elizabeth was also pregnant at the time with John the Baptist. The third passage (justified by 1 Timothy 2:1-5) is in agreement with St. Paul's request for us to pray for and with each other.
A: Consider which religious groups say the Hail Mary. Understand that the prayer is not meant to worship the Virgin Mary. Study the Biblical roots of the Hail Mary.

Q: Use a cookie dough scooper to help you make even ball amounts, about 1 tablespoon (15ml) (15 grams). To avoid multitasking, scoop the entire mixture and place the balls onto a flat surface (such as a baking sheet or counter top), lined with parchment paper. Use both palms of your hands and circle each ball in a circular motion, to allow any flat surfaces become evenly round. For the best results, it's recommended that you refrigerate the cake balls for at least two hours. By doing this, any coating won't affect the prepared cake when dipping.
A: Scoop the mixture. Roll the cake balls. Chill the cake balls.

Q: Show the higher-ups that your goals align with the goals of the company. Stuffing envelopes or filing paperwork may seem below your skill level, but remind yourself that your work is important and may lead to company sales. Bringing an executive their morning coffee may seem far removed from your goal of being an executive, but it will allow you to build interpersonal relationships and will help the executive to better perform daily tasks. Build positive relationships with people at all levels of the company. One of your co-workers may become your boss some day. A colleague with whom you have a personality clash may wind up in a position to chime in about your suitability for a promotion. Treat everyone with respect and fairness, and they will be likely to pay you respect in return. Show your appreciation for others. Acknowledge the contributions of colleagues who help you solve difficult problems. When leading others, let them know that you appreciate their individual strengths. Greet people warmly. Whether in an elevator with a top executive or standing in the company cafeteria line with an employee from another department, take the opportunity to introduce yourself and strike up conversation. It might be tempting to skip the company's holiday event, but attending such social gatherings will allow you to interact with a wide variety of company employees. It will also increase your visibility and your chances of being viewed as an integral member of the company. Lighten your boss' workload by offering to oversee a small project. Stay late to master new software, make sales calls, or organize paperwork. Make sure that the additional tasks that you pursue contribute to greater productivity without jeopardizing your relationships with colleagues. Avoid stepping on other people's toes or crossing boundaries. Your goal is not to outdo your supervisor or to highlight the inadequacy of your colleagues, but rather to offer vital support.
A:
Demonstrate your commitment. Network with co-workers. Attend company-wide social functions. Take on additional responsibilities.
