Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill a large pot with water. Wash the ham hocks with cold water. Remove the cooked ham hocks from the boiling water.

Answer: Choose a pot that is large enough to hold all the ham hocks you are cooking. Then, fill the pot about of the way up with water, making sure that you leave enough space at the top so that the water doesn't spill over when you add the ham hocks, or when the water begins to boil. To add more flavor, you can use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water, or use equal parts broth and water. To make sure that the meat is clean before boiling, rinse each of the ham hocks with cold water in your kitchen sink. This will help remove any impurities from the meat and cut down on the fatty residue that will float to the top while the ham hocks boil. Since you'll be putting the washed meat straight into a pot, there is no need to pat them dry after rinsing. Once the ham hocks are cooked and the meat pulls easily away from the bone, turn off the stovetop and carefully remove them from the water with a large spoon. Place the ham hocks on a cutting board or plate and let them cool for a few minutes before trimming, chopping, or enjoying right off the bone. Use the boiled ham hocks in a soup, stew, casserole, or enjoy with potatoes and a salad. If you plan to eat your boiled ham hocks alone and want to crisp the skin a bit, you can bake them in a pan in the oven at 450F (232C) for about 20 minutes or on the broil setting for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to Tumblr's website. Click your profile icon. Click the name of the blog you wish to edit. Click Edit appearance. Click Edit theme. Look for a camera or pencil icon next to Background. Click the camera icon. Select a photo. Click Open.

Answer: It's located at https://www.tumblr.com/. If you're signed in on your browser, this will take you to your Tumblr home page. If you aren't signed into Tumblr, enter your email address and password, then click Sign in. It's the person-shaped icon in the top-right corner of the page. You'll find it beneath the "TUMBLRS" heading about halfway down the profile drop-down menu. This option is in the top-right side of the page, just below the Drafts and Posts sections. It's right of the "Website Theme" heading below your profile picture. This option is below the "THEME OPTIONS" heading. If you see a camera or pencil icon to the right of Background, you can upload your own image. Some Tumblr themes have a variation of Background (e.g., Choose a background) here. If you don't see this option in your blog's theme options, proceed to the next method. Some free themes that allow you to upload your own photo are "Catching Elephant" and "Papercut". Paid themes include "Queens" and "Halcyon". Doing so will invoke a window in which you can select a photo from your computer. For some themes, you'll instead click a pencil icon. Depending on your computer and the location to which this window opens, you may have to navigate to your computer's Photos folder. Some themes will require you to first click Choose a photo. Make sure the photo is relatively high-quality. Otherwise, it may appear grainy or out of focus. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will upload your photo to Tumblr; your theme should refresh within a few seconds of doing so to display your new background.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place the pine cones on the baking sheet. Bake them for 1 to 1.5 hours. Let them cool. Place them on newspapers to air dry once they are finished cooling. Spray the pine cones with a clear polyurethane finish.

Answer: Arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the edges of the pine cones are not hanging over the edges of the baking sheet. As they are baking, the pine cones will re-open. At the one-hour mark, check to see if they have re-opened. If they have re-opened, then take them out. If not, then leave them in the oven for another 30 minutes. Baking the pine cones will finish killing any bugs that survived the water bath. Baking the pine cones will also melt away any sap that is stuck on them. Do this once you have finished baking them. Set them outside to cool or just let them cool in your kitchen. This may take 20 to 30 minutes. Let them air dry in a well-ventilated room, or place them outside. It is recommended that you let them air dry for two to three days. This finish is a preservative. It will help your pine cones last longer. You can purchase a clear polyurethane finish from your local hardware or arts and crafts store.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do your research. Manage your expectations. Disconnect from technology.

Answer:
Traveling should be relaxing and enjoyable. If you want, it should also be full of adventures. Just make sure that your adventures come from things like climbing mountains, not staying in dubious lodgings. Before you travel, take some time to do your research. Start by reading reviews. Read traveler reviews of every place you plan to stay. You want to know if other people experienced big problems like the heat not working or the doors not locking. Use a site like Trip Advisor. They post multiple reviews for every aspect of traveling. You want your vacation to be amazing. That's natural. But make sure to keep your expectations realistic. Try not to get upset if something goes wrong. For example, don't consider the whole trip ruined if one of your adventures gets rained out. Plan to have a good time. But be ready to laugh it off if something unexpectedly goes awry. Maybe you're traveling in New York, and the restaurant lost your reservation. That's disappointing, but it's also a great excuse to try a slice of famous NYC pizza. Take a true time out when you are on vacation. Try not to be tethered to your phone or laptop. Avoid the urge to check your e-mail multiple times a day. Don't check social media multiple times a day. Try to enjoy your own experiences. Focus on being in the moment. Look around at your surroundings, and find somewhere new to explore. Relax and enjoy. Make an effort to forget about work and responsibilities. You're on vacation!
