INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make the French fries, you need three medium Idaho or russet potatoes that have been peeled and cut into -inch (13-cm) thick strips. Set the potatoes in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Using three potatoes will give you two servings of the garlic fries. If you want to make a larger batch, you can easily double or triple the ingredients. Keep in mind that you'll likely have to fry the potatoes in batches, though, because they won't all fit in the deep fryer at the same time. If you prefer thicker or thinner fries, you can adjust the size of the strips that you cut the potatoes into. Thicker fries will take longer to fry, while thinner fries will require less time to become golden brown. Once you've covered the potatoes with the water, leave them to soak for at least 20 minutes. That will help remove some of the excess starch so the interior of the fries will be fluffier when they're finished frying. If you have the time, soaking the potatoes for 2 to 3 hours will result in the fluffiest fries. You can even place the bowl with the potatoes in the fridge and soak them overnight. When the potatoes are finished soaking, remove them from the bowl. Run them under the cold water from the sink to rinse them off and set them down on a large baking sheet or other platter. Rinsing the fries is an important step because some of the starch may still be present on the potatoes. Running them under the water helps remove any lingering residue. With the potatoes in a single, even layer, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry the fries. Pat gently on both sides to make sure that the potatoes are completely dry. To ensure that they fry up crisply, make sure that the potatoes are completely dry.

SUMMARY: Place the potatoes in a bowl and cover them with water. Allow the potatoes to soak for several minutes. Rinse the potatoes with fresh water. Pat the potatoes dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Posture can be very revealing. Much of communication is made up of non-verbal cues. Sometimes people don't even realize they are communicating this way. If she is learning into you or toward you, even slightly, it probably means she is more open to a kiss. On the other hand, if she is leaning away, that's a bad sign. You should also pay attention to the direction her feet are pointing. If they are pointing away from you, it could be a sign she is looking for a chance to leave. Does she move away when you move slightly toward her? This is a test you can use to measure her body language interest in kissing you. Subtly create more of a zone of intimacy and see if she complies or moves away to diminish it. Women will use their hands to touch things or show femininity if they want you to kiss them. If a woman plays with her necklace, she's probably into you. But you should take this act in context. If she also has other body language that is open to you, that's a better sign because sometimes a woman is just nervous. If a woman is playing with or twirling her hair, it's a sign she wants you to find her attractive and is flirting with you. If she touches something else, like a glass (running her fingers over it), in even a somewhat sensual way, that's a good sign. If she has touched you recently, even in small ways, this could be her way of creating more intimacy in the hopes you will kiss her. Even the slightest of touches show desire. That means it's a good sign if she brushes her hand against your knee or arm. Touch probably means she wants to get closer to you. It's an even better sign if she touches your face. If she softly, playfully hits you on the arm, she is trying to create a playful vibe with you, which is a way that women flirt. You could test her out by touching her slightly first to see how she responds. For example, brush your feet against hers under the table and see what she does. Another technique is to touch a piece of jewelry she has lightly (earrings, necklace), and say you admire it. If she smiles and is OK with you moving closer into her space, that's a good sign. When taken together, is her body language closed or is it open? If she has open body language, she is not trying to erect barriers between you. Signs of open body language include arms at the side, body tilted toward you or facing you, eye contact, feet pointed toward you. Signs of closed body language include arms crossed over chest, feet or legs crossed, feet pointing away from you, body tilted away from you, and minimal eye contact. How much personal space is she leaving between you? If it's not much, she's already open to an intimate connection with you on some level. This is a good sign for you.

SUMMARY: Watch her posture. Study her hands. Wait for her touches. Spot whether she has open body language.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're over 65 years old, you have likely had some past relationships. One or more of those may have been very serious (e.g. a marriage that lasted decades). If you are going to start dating again, you will need to spend time acknowledging how you feel about those past relationships and allowing yourself to let go of them. You can do things like write in a journal or talk to a counselor or friend about your feelings. Society often portrays youth as the most desirable time in life. Don't fall prey to this skewed image. Instead, realize that you have already lived through your youthful years, and you have learned a lot from them. Know that the person you are today is just as appealing as the person you were years ago. When you were young, you may have been looking for someone to raise a family with and support you in your career. If you're over 65, starting a family or a career is not likely to be on your mind. Allow yourself to analyze exactly what you need in a partner at this age, and make a list of the qualities that are most important to you. The list might include things like: Someone who enjoys travel Someone that likes to socialize Someone who is caring

SUMMARY: Work through emotional ties to old relationships. Avoid comparing your current self to your past self. Realize that your needs may be different now.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're rushed before school, adding different accessories can be a great way to make your hair look cute quickly. Wearing headbands or head scarfs is a quick way to add some color to your hair and keep it out of your face at the same time. Try wearing headbands with your hair down or in a ponytail. Adding bows to your hair is another way to add some pizzazz. Try tying a bow around a simple high ponytail. Even if you don't have time to style your hair, you can use small clips to pull sections of your hair back away from your face. They look pretty and are easy to put in and take out. You can find clips that are black or brown for a neutral look or get colored or sparkly clips for a more stand-out look.

SUMMARY:
Add accessories. Use clips.
