INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use 6 ounces/180 milliliters (6.1floz) if you are certain of the freshness of the starter. When in doubt, use a full cup of buttermilk as starter. Shake thoroughly to mix. Label the jar with the date. This should take about 24 hours. If you find it takes longer than 36 hours, the starter was no longer active (meaning that the bacteria has died). The buttermilk may or may not be tasty if it takes longer than 36 hours but it can still be used for baking. This happens because the bacteria have fermented the milk, and the lactic acid is causing the milk proteins to thicken. Refrigerate immediately.

SUMMARY: Add a bacterial starter of 6 to 8 ounces/180-235ml of active fresh cultured buttermilk to a clean quart jar. Fill the rest of the jar with fresh milk. Screw the lid on on securely. Let the jar sit out in a warm part of the room until thickened. Check to make sure the thickened buttermilk coats the glass.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to your breakfast cereal, preferably oatmeal. Mix thoroughly with a spoon and eat immediately. Adding whey protein to food in this way lets you increase protein intake without having to adjust your diet too much. You can add 1 tbsp. (14.1 g) of peanut butter to this mixture for a little extra protein. Drink a whey protein shake 30 minutes before exercising. As you work out, your muscle fibers will be broken down, and your stored carbohydrates (glycogen) will become depleted. A pre-workout shake will help prevent muscle breakdown and provide more energy. You need to feed your muscles as soon as you are done exercising to help your body recover. There is evidence that consuming whey protein immediately after a workout increases protein synthesis and, as a result, strengthens muscles. Sprinkle some whey protein powder on food that is part of your last meal of the day. This keeps amino acids in your body at an elevated level as you sleep, which can also assist with building muscle. You can also drink whey protein before you go to bed to help prevent the protein breakdown that naturally occurs while you sleep, increasing overnight muscle protein synthesis.

SUMMARY: Eat a whey protein breakfast. Eat protein before your workout. Eat protein after your workout. Mix whey protein into your last meal of the day.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For a simpler method of presentation, lay uncut flowers with long stems across the top of the cake, or on the platter around the based. Cut wax paper or roll a thin layer of fondant to cover the part of the cake that touches the flower. One or two whole flowers will make for a modestly beautiful look. Be sure to trim away any thorns, leaves or visible imperfections from the flower stems before situating them on the cake. Whole flowers can be used to spruce up naked or smaller cakes in a breeze. Rather than inserting flowers into the top of the cake, stick them between the layers on the outer edges of larger cakes. This will create the effect that the flowers are blooming out of the cake. Use foam dividers if you're worried about damaging the layers or contaminating the cake. Place fresh flowers in a ring around the base, middle layers and top of the cake to create a festive border. Gently remove the petals from your flowers of choice. Be careful not to mash or tear them. Use a loose hand to sprinkle them around the base of the cake, or sparingly on top. Flower petals can give your cake an infusion of color and bohemian grace without the need to mess with soaking, cutting and arranging whole blossoms. Loose flowers petals can be picked off before serving, or eaten, provided that they belong to an edible species. Some types of flowers are safe to be actually eaten. Mix in a small amount of these flowers with fruit, candies and other confections for a dessert with bright, floral notes. Clover, marjoram and hibiscus are all common flower varieties that can make a great cake topper. It may be better to avoid decorating with especially fragrant types of edible flowers such as roses and jasmine, as the chemicals that produce their trademark scents can easily overpower the flavors of a cake. Use a light hand when finishing cakes with flowers that are meant to be eaten. Their petals can sometimes be dry, waxy and hard to chew and swallow in great quantities.

SUMMARY: Use whole flowers. Place flowers between the cake layers. Sprinkle flower petals around the base. Mix edible flowers with fresh fruit.
