Problem: Article: Food poisoning is often caused by bacteria that get transferred to food by way of unwashed hands, dishes, cutting boards, utensils or work surfaces. Take the following measures to prevent getting food poisoning this way: Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before preparing food. Wash your dishes and utensils in warm, soapy water after they have been used. Use a cleanser to wipe down your counters, tables, cutting boards, and other kitchen surfaces after preparing a meal, especially one that includes raw meat. Make sure that raw food, such as packages of uncooked chicken or steak, is kept separate from food that doesn't need to be cooked, to prevent cross-contamination. All meat and dairy should be refrigerated as soon as you bring it home from the market. Cooking meat until it reaches an internal temperature that kills bacteria can prevent bacterial food poisoning. Make sure you know the temperature to which your meat should be cooked, and use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before you finish cooking it. Chicken and other poultry should be cooked to 165 F (73.9 C). Ground beef should be cooked to 160 F (71.1 C). Beef steaks and roasts should be cooked to 145 F (62.8 C). Pork should be cooked to 160 F (71.1C). Fish should be cooked to 145 F (62.8 C). Avoid reheating meats multiple times since they could develop bacteria that cause food poisoning. Foraging for wild mushrooms has become a trend in recent years, but unless you're looking for mushrooms under the guidance of an expert, eating freshly picked mushrooms should be avoided. Even scientists have trouble distinguishing some edible and poisonous mushroom species without the aid of biological tests.
Summary: Wash your hands, dishes and kitchen surfaces. Store food properly. Cook meat thoroughly. Don't eat wild mushrooms.

Problem: Article: Substitute almond or coconut extract for vanilla, or mix in the zest of your favorite citrus fruit. Just beat them into the softened butter before adding the cream cheese. Pipe the frosting onto your batter when it's about to go into the oven; use a knife to swirl it throughout the batter. Or use it as the filling for a cookie sandwich by piping it onto the bottom or (flat side) of a cookie. Then top with another cookie, again making sure the flat or bottom side is facing the frosting.
Summary: Try using different extracts to alter the flavor. Add peanut butter or jams to your frosting. Marble cream cheese frosting into brownie batter for a little extra zing. Dollop the frosting onto oatmeal or ginger cookies to add a little sweetness.

Problem: Article: Remove from heat, and let cool for ten minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.) Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary, until flour is incorporated. Increase speed to medium and beat 6 minutes, or if mixing by hand, don't stop until you get a big dough-ball. Either way, the dough will still be sticky. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, or about 2 hours. Punch down dough, then divide into 16 equal pieces. Space 8 logs evenly in each pan. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Summary: Bring all milk and cream ingredients, just to a boil, over medium heat. Meanwhile, stir together warm water and yeast in the stand mixer bowl, or a large mixing bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add warm milk mixture, sugar, flour, and salt to your yeast mixture and mix at low speed. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat with oil. Grease baking pans. Roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch-long log on a lightly floured surface. Loosely cover buns with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until buns just start to touch, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375F (191C) Bake buns, turning pans halfway through, until tops are golden and undersides are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Before using buns, separate them and cut each bun lengthwise down center (but not all the way through). Enjoy!

Problem: Article: Consider a lot that focuses on compact cars, if possible, as you will have more choices this way. Buy the Vehicle Make sure the lot has the compact car you have decided on, as most lots only sell certain makes and models. If you are pre-approved, bring in any documentation of this, such as a pre-approval letter. You will then arrange the payments through your lender. This way, you know whether you are getting a good deal when you buy, allowing you to negotiate with the salesperson once you know the standard price. Go elsewhere if you cannot get the price of the compact car down to its approximate Kelly Blue Book dealer value.
Summary:
Go to your local new or used car lot once you have narrowed your list down to a few cars. Pick a few vehicles to test drive, first making sure that the price is near your budget and that the car comes with the features you want. Return home and think about your experience testing each vehicle, and then return to the lot if you decide to purchase a used or new compact car. Choose an appropriate car lot depending on whether you are buying a used or new vehicle. Apply for credit at the lot if you have decided to make payments. Check out the value of compact cars that interest you in the Kelly Blue Book.
