Problem: Article: in the olive oil. Heat 'em up in your saucepan until softened and turning golden brown. Stir well, being sure everything is coated with the olive oil. And if you need a bit more olive oil, no one's going to tell on you! By the way, you peeled and sliced your carrots, right? That outer stuff (you know, the part that lived in dirt) isn't what you're going for here. But they're gonna get pureed later, so it's not like they have to be pretty. Just chop 'em up into finger-width pieces. Keep an eye on the onions especially -- if they're overcooking, turn the heat down a notch. Sometimes carrots get a little bitter inexplicably when cooked. If that's the case (give 'er a taste test), add a tablespoon of brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup to offset it. The rice is, of course, optional. You could also substitute potatoes for the rice -- or just not worry about either. Whatever you choose, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Make sure to add the liquid before or immediately after adding the rice. Otherwise, it'll burn! Want to get a little Asian up in here? You can use coconut milk as a bit of the liquid, too! The hand blender is super easy to use--you literally just place it in your pot and go. Then when you're done, rinse it off and you're good to go. But if this need was unforeseen, a food processor or even blender will work, too. If you didn't puree it in the pan, take it back to the pan and reheat. Season with salt and pepper and season to taste, garnishing with green onion or parsley if desired. Be sure to serve it to your guests warm! Other good garnishes? Nuts, bacon, grated cheese, dill and mint. And don't forget the bread and butter!
Summary: Saute the onions Add the carrots to the saucepan. Cover and cook on medium for 10 minutes, adding a little water if necessary. Add the rice and water/stock to the vegetables. Whizz with a hand blender or in a food processor. Divide among serving bowls and top with herbs.

Problem: Article: When you have the enclosure all set up, put 1 gerbil on 1 side and the other gerbil on the other side. Do this with 1 gerbil in each hand so that your scent will be on both of them at the same time. Putting the gerbils into the enclosure at the same time is also important so that 1 gerbil does not see the other as invading its space. Pick up both gerbils at the same time and put them on each other's sides. This allows the gerbils to get familiar with each other's scents. Do this 3 times per day so that the gerbils will sleep on a different side of the cage each night. This will help to reduce the chances of the gerbils becoming territorial. Make sure to scoop up waste and soiled bedding daily to keep your gerbils' enclosure clean. Do not add any new items or bedding while the gerbils are getting to know each other. It is important to keep the same smells and avoid introducing items that they might fight over. Before you decide to remove the partition and introduce the gerbils to each other, check to see if they are getting along. This will help to ensure that the gerbils are ready to meet and reduce the chances of a fight. Some good signs include: Sleeping next to each other by the partition Sleeping in the other gerbil's usual sleeping spot Grooming each other through the partition No longer marking the other gerbil's side when you swap them
Summary: Place 1 gerbil on each side of the cage. Swap the gerbils 3 times daily. Watch for signs that the gerbils are starting to get along.
