Pick cuts such as chuck, brisket, and flank steaks since they are usually harder to chew than other cuts of meat. Avoid using beer on meat that's already light or tender, such as steak fillets, since the beer could overpower the flavor. If the meat was frozen, make sure you thaw it completely before you put it in your beer brine. Try beer brine on chicken to give the outside a more caramelized crust. You can also tenderize whole chickens or turkeys if you make enough beer brine to submerge them. Rip off a sheet of plastic cling wrap that's large enough to go over the bowl. Press the wrap onto the rim of the bowl to seal it so it doesn't get contaminated. If your bowl has a lid, make sure it forms a tight seal so bacteria can't get inside. Set the beer brine and meat in your fridge so it can chill and infuse the flavors. Make sure the lid stays on securely or the plastic wrap seals the bowl completely. You can tenderize the meat in the beer brine for up to 12 hours so the juices soak into the meat and make it feel more tender. Start your beer brine in the morning so you can tenderize your meat and have it for dinner. If you leave the meat in the brine for too long, the meat may get too soft and make it harder to cook.

Summary: Choose a tough cut of thawed meat you want to tenderize. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid to seal it. Keep the bowl in your fridge for up to 12 hours.

Remember, a person will never truly quit using drugs until he is ready to do so. The decision has to be yours. A great way to help you get clear on all of the advantages of living a drug-free life is to make a list of the benefits of sobriety. Here are some things that you may want to consider: Meth use often impacts your quality of life. Your finances take a hit and relationships may be destroyed because of the erratic behavior that addiction creates. Also, you always run the risk of being arrested when you use illegal drugs. These are all things that could change when you stop using meth. Prolonged use of meth can cause negative health consequences such as extreme weight loss, severe dental problems including tooth loss, and skin sores that result from excessive scratching. Meth use can also increase the risk of contracting infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis. Being healthy for you and your family is often a pretty good reason to quit. Be intentional about removing the people who introduced you to the drugs from your life altogether. This includes old friends that you have gotten high with in the past as well as your drug supplier. You should remove any avenue that you could potentially use to contact them. This includes phone numbers that are stored in your cell phone, phone numbers that may be written down on pieces of paper in your wallet or in your home, and even social media contacts. This way you will no longer have access to people who have a negative influence on you. If negative influences are still contacting you, then you may want to consider changing your phone number and deleting your social media accounts for a while. It is just as important to avoid going into old environments that may trigger your desire to use meth. Many people even take alternate routes to work to avoid driving past old acquaintances. Staying busy can also help you avoid negative influences. Try getting a job and even a second one if possible. Experiment with working longer hours or get started with a new hobby. Try to keep yourself busy so that you're less likely to be distracted by negative people and places. It is really important to have a strong support system as you move through the process of quitting meth. There should be at least one person who you can call at any time to help you get through a tough moment. Keep your sobriety partner's phone number in your wallet, in your cell phone, or in any place where you will have easy access to it at all times. Identifying one person to be your sobriety partner is fantastic but having several people that you can call at a moment's notice is ideal. Keep in mind that the larger your support network is, the more successful you'll be with quitting.

Summary: Write down all of the reasons that you want to quit. Delete all of the negative influences from your contacts. Keep yourself busy. Call a friend and ask him to be your sobriety partner.

Continue decreasing in this way until you have a total of 28 stitches. the remaining stitches. When you have 28 stitches left, bind them off. To bind off, knit the first 2 stitches in the round, then slip the first new stitch over the second new stitch. As you do this, let the first stitch to slip off the then of the needle.
