Q: Not all marinades will act as a tenderizer. Look for marinades that contain an acidic ingredient such as vinegar, or fruit juice. Also consider what varieties of spices or flavors you like. A marinade can be either purchased in store or made by hand. Pineapple juice contains bromelin. Bromelin is excellent at breaking down toughness in meat. Unfortunately, it is denatured when heated, so any pineapple juice used for the intention of tenderizing must only be fresh. When making a marinade, you want to end up with a smooth mixture. If you're using ingredients such as pineapple or kiwi for their enzymes, it would be a wise choice to use a food processor to help keep your marinade smooth. If you must cook your marinade, ensure to allow it to completely cool before mixing onto your steak. This prevents portions of the steak from being boiled. When soaking your meat in a marinade, there should be sufficient marinade to cover the meat entirely. Since marinades often have acidic components, avoid metal bowls. The acid can react with the metal, which may give the meat a funky taste. While more tender cuts of meat may only need two hours of marinating, a tougher cut such as rump roast can soak for several hours, up to overnight. The longer you soak the meat, the more tender it will become. As a general rule of thumb, fruit marinades are better for short term use, and an oil or vinegar based marinade is better for overnight marinating. Leaving any raw meat on your countertop to marinate is not practicing safe food hygiene. By storing it on the lowest shelf, it will prevent spillage or contamination onto any other foods below it.
A: Choose the correct marinade for tenderizing. Mix up your marinade. Maximize your marinating time. Always keep your beef in the fridge on the lowest shelf.

Article: If you don't want to pay for shipping and recycling fees, consider reusing them for something else! Place a trophy next to books on your shelf to keep them in place. Trophies are typically heavy enough that they can easily support the weight of your books. To separate your trophy topper from the body of the trophy, simply unscrew the nut at the very bottom, and twist the topper in a counter-clockwise direction until it comes off. Then, position a 41.5in 4.5in (105cm 11cm) piece of plywood on its side so you can easily access both the front and the back sides. Hold a topper on the front side of the board about 24in (5.110.2cm) from the edge, and drill the topper into the wood from the backside. Continue adding your toppers to your wood every 24in (5.110.2cm). If you'd like, you can apply a wood stain or glaze over top to finish your coat rack. Use 5-6 trophy toppers, depending on how spread out you want the hooks to be. Gather tapered corks, a drill with a small bit, and several trophy toppers. Use a 9/64 drill bit to drill a hole in the center of your corks. Insert the drill bit until you reach about half way into the cork. Line the screw of the trophy topper up with your hole, and screw the cork onto the trophy. Then, insert your cork into your favorite wine or liquor bottles. You can use size 9 or 10 tapered corks, for example. Unscrew the nut at the bottom of your trophy, and disassemble the pieces. Turn your topper counter-clockwise to take the top off, then separate the middle column as well. Apply a light, even layer of all-purpose spray paint to your column, base, and topper if you'd like to change the color. You can also spray paint your cake trays so they match. Drill a hole through the center of 2 cake trays, and reassemble your trophy. As you do this, place 1 cake tray in between the main column and the base piece, and place the other cake tray in between the column and the topper. If you want to use doilies, add them as you are stacking your pieces, or cut a slit from the center hole and place them onto your cake trays. If you are applying spray paint, wait 30-60 minutes for the pieces to dry before you assemble them. Once you assemble your trophies, you can easily stack cupcakes, cookies, or other desserts on your stands!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use your trophies as bookends if you want an easy DIY decoration. Glue your trophy tops to a plank of wood to make your own coat rack. Use your trophy toppers to make custom bottle tops. Turn your trophies into a decorative cupcake stand.

Problem: Article: Your doctor will watch you run, jump, kneel, and move your knee to determine the level of your injury. The doctor will grade your jumper's knee from 1 to 5. Grades 1 and 2 are mild injuries, but grade 5 represents severe and constant pain. If your doctor suspects you have a bone injury, they might order an X-ray. If they think you have a full tear, your doctor might order an MRI. However, a minor case of jumper's knee may not require any imaging tests. The doctor will use the diagnosis to create a treatment plan for your knee. Low level injuries will improve with rest and support, while a more severe diagnosis will need more intensive treatments. Studies show that professional therapies, such as massage or electrotherapy, help knee tendons heal. Ask your doctor if you'd benefit from massage therapy or electrotherapy along with a rehabilitation program. If you have severe jumper's knee that isn't feeling better after you've had mild treatments, you might need injections to relieve pressure and inflammation in the knee. The doctor will inject aprotinin directly into the inflamed tendon, which will desensitize the nerves and relieve pain. If your knee doesn't improve after trying most treatments, the doctor will recommend removing damaged tissue from your knee. The surgeon can repair the tendon and your knee should heal better because blood supply to the knee is improved. In most cases, you can return home soon after the surgery is completed.
Summary: Diagnose the severity of your jumper's knee. Try massage therapy or electrotherapy for mild jumper's knee. Get Aprotinin injections. Consider surgery for severe jumper's knee.

Q: Hang out on the weekends or plan activities together every now and then, do some homework together, and chat during the break at school. You don't have to live in each others' pockets, but make sure you spend some quality time together with your best friend to make the friendship grow and become stronger. Know that you'll probably have to sacrifice some of your time and maybe effort to be your best friend. It should feel like something you want to be doing, even when it's hard. Invite other people to hang out with you. Being best friends doesn't mean you have to isolate yourselves from other people. Sometimes, it's nice to be alone; you don't need anybody else to have fun together. Other times, your enjoyment is increased by including other people into the fold. There is nothing like laughing and smiling to bring people together. Besides, when they're really friends, you guys can laugh at the dumbest, smallest, weirdest stuff and it doesn't really matter. Take time out of your day to appreciate the funny things in life. Nobody likes a best friend who just talks and talks but never listens. If you're a chatterbox, try to develop good listening skills. Whenever your best friend says something, listen carefully and say something. Don't just say "yeah" and move on. Don't interrupt or fidget continually while they're talking to you. If they ask for advice, listen carefully and give them the best advice you can. It'll earn you respect and of course, make them come to you more. Be an active listener. Being an active listener means reading in between the lines. Sometimes it means knowing what the other person feels or is thinking before they do. If you're an active listener, you might know who your friend likes before they do. Know when not to talk. There's an old saying out there: The dumb person talks; the wise person listens. While that's definitely an overstatement, it has some truth in it. Begin to feel comfortable just being with your bestie, not constantly having to talk to fill the silence.
A:
Spend time with your friend. Share laughs. Learn to listen.
