Problem: Article: Put the chopped avocado, lemon zest, lemon juice, almonds, garlic and half the basil into a food processor. Blend on high until smooth or the texture you prefer. Put the blended sauce in the refrigerator to store if you are not using it right away. When zesting the lemon, avoid getting the white rind in the zest. It will make the sauce too sour. Lemon is a strong flavor. You might want to start with half the recommended amount and see if it is enough. You can always add more if you want more lemon flavor. Put the dry or fresh spaghetti into a large pot of salted, boiling water. Follow the directions on the package. About 2 minutes before you think the spaghetti is done, taste a couple of strands. Continue tasting every 2 minutes until it reaches your desired texture. Remove the pasta from the boiling water with a slotted spoon or pour it into a colander to drain. Put the drained pasta into a serving bowl. Pour the avocado sauce over the spaghetti and toss to make sure the noodles are coated well. Then sprinkle the basil leaves and parmesan on the spaghetti before it is served to add color and flavor.
Summary: Blend the sauce ingredients. Boil the spaghetti. Drain the spaghetti. Add the sauce.

Problem: Article: Loop a thick rubber band around a book and write on it while it's stretched out. Your writing will just look like a random design once it returns to its original size. Wait until no one is looking, then give the rubber band a tug and watch your notes magically appear. Make sure you write your letters nice and small. That way, no one will be able to tell what they are until you stretch out the rubber band. Remove the label from a bottle of water and scan it onto your computer. Open the file in an image editor and replace all the visible text with crib notes. Once you're done, print out the fake label and attach it to the bottle using a dab of glue. If you don't have a scanner or printer at your disposal, you can write on the inside of the label, then reattach it using a dab of glue. To make the most of the space you have, try to cover as much of the label as possible, including the areas where the product slogan, serving info, and ingredients list would usually go. Either scrawl the answers directly onto your desktop (if you have an assigned seat) or put them on a "blank" sheet of paper and keep it out during the test. They'll glow brightly when illuminated with UV keychain light, but will remain unseen to anyone passing by the rest of the time. You can buy invisible ink online or at most craft stores for around $10 a bottle. Another option is to shop around for a set of invisible ink pens. These often come with handy UV mini-flashlights built in. Sometime before your test, make a list of any items you don't understand and tag them on the wall of one of the stalls in the bathroom. If things go south during the exam, tell your teacher you urgently need to use the restroom and slip away to consult your secret treasure trove of knowledge. Leave your answers in out-of-the-way places where someone will be unlikely to spot and erase them. It's also a good idea to use pencil or washable marker to avoid getting in even more trouble if you happen to get busted.
Summary: Turn a rubber band into a covert cheat sheet. Print your notes on a water bottle label. Write down the answers to the test in invisible ink. Graffiti a bathroom stall with test answers.

Problem: Article: Don't put off all explanation of these issues until kids hit puberty and instead, approach topics gradually over time. In addition to making the subject feel taboo, you miss opportunities to correct misinformation. It can be helpful to start developmental dialog about boys' and girls' bodies when children are young instead of waiting until puberty. Let boys know that they can come to you with questions about anything to both establish trust in you and guide their understanding of development in a positive way. Young children are extremely inquisitive and observant. Boys may notice a sanitary napkin in the trash or notice you buying tampons in the grocery store. While you don't have to go into detail with very young children (3-6 yrs old), address general curiosity as okay and not embarrassing to ask or answer. If a boy asks, "What is that?" in reference to a menstrual product, respond with the name of the object (tampon, sanitary pad, menstrual cup, etc). You may follow up your response with, "This is something women use to keep their bodies clean." As boys mature, they may ask progressively more in-depth questions about the process of menstruation or how babies are made. Use your judgment when giving details so you don't overwhelm them with information they didn't want or need. Children have a knack for asking personal or slightly uncomfortable questions in very public places or at a time that may seem inappropriate to adults. If you are asked a question about menstruation, do not say you will talk about it later or at home, since this will give the impression that it's an embarrassing subject. Even if other people are nearby, casually answer the question. Do your best to answer the question in that moment. If the question caught you off guard or if your answer was not helpful, consider doing a follow-up response later that night. Adjust your responses to your child's developmental level and emotional maturity. Think about what concepts your child can grasp and how to break down explanations into smaller parts. Recognize that talking about menstruation is part of the greater theme of development and sex education. Breaking these discussions into manageable parts over boys' formative years allows you to build on concepts as maturity and awareness increase. Don't overcomplicate your answers. Speak simply and avoid using complicated metaphors, especially with young children (such as "Aunt Flo" or "time of the month"). Give as much information as it should satisfy his curiosity. Don't over-explain by giving too much information before he asks.
Summary: Initiate conversations early on. Answer curious questions from young children. Don't avoid answering questions. Tailor your answers to maturity level.

Problem: Article: Don't remove all the fat from the roast, but if it has a thick or tough layer on one side, use a sharp knife to loosen it, then pull it off and discard. Place the roast in the pan and cook until it is brown on all sides. Don't move the roast around in the pan until it is browned and ready to turn. Moving the meat will prevent it from browning thoroughly. Do not overcook; remove the meat as soon as it is brown on all sides. The point is not to cook it through, but to bring out the flavors in preparation for roasting. You may use the same dutch oven you used to brown the roast, or a clean roasting pan. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Remove the lid or foil from the pan and insert a meat thermometer into the roast. Rare meat is done when its temperature has reached 125 degrees Fahrenheit(52 degrees Celsius). Medium rare meat is done at 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius). Medium well meat is done at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Well done meat is done at 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Carve the meat with a sharp knife and serve sliced. If you'd like to make gravy, pour the drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Add a few tablespoons of flour and stir until thickened.
Summary:
Trim the roast of extra fat. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162 degrees Celsius). Heat oil in a large dutch oven or frying pan. Place the roast in a dutch oven or roasting pan. Pour the wine and broth over the meat. Test the roast to make sure it's done. Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest uncovered for thirty minutes.
