Q: After you've cooked the spices into the vegetable mixture, sprinkle cup (63 g) of all-purpose flour into the pot. Stir well so all of the ingredients are coated with the flour, and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook the mixture for approximately 1 minute, or until the flour browns. Once the flour has browned, add a 14.5 ounce (411 g) can of diced tomatoes to the pot. Allow the tomatoes to cook until they begin to release their juices, which should take approximately 2 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture occasionally to ensure that it heats evenly. After the tomatoes have released their juices, add 4 cups (946 ml) of chicken broth to the pot. Stir it in well, and cover the pot. Turn the heat to high and allow the mixture to come to a boil, which should take approximately 5 minutes. It's best to use low-sodium chicken broth because salt has already been added to the dish.
A: Stir in the flour until the mixture browns. Add the tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Mix in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Q: Position the wide end at the length you'd like it ultimately to be, as you will primarily use the narrow end for tying. The narrow end will be lower than the wide end because this knot uses a significant amount of fabric. One inch (2.5 centimeters) above your waistline is a great spot for the wide end. While pinching is not essential, it does make working with the narrow end easier without the fabric bunching up. The area you should pinch is somewhere between your shirt's first and second buttons. Make the cross distinct so you don't accidentally mistake one end for the other. Then, bring the thin end up through the neck opening and down toward the right side. Then, bring the narrow end up through the necktie and pull it down, to the right. At this point, there should be a v- or heart-shaped loop around your neck. Bring the narrow end up through the neck loop and pull it through the loop. Keep this top loop of the knot loose, and move the narrow end behind the thick end to the other side of your shirt. Adjust the loose loop for tightness until it is secure. Once the loop looks symmetric, tuck the end under the neckline to finish the trinity knot. Fold your shirt collar down to complete the look.
A: Raise your shirt collar and drape the tie around your neck. Pinch the wide side of the tie to form a dimple. Cross the narrow end over the wide end. Cross the thin end under the wide end and bring it to the other side of your tie. Move the narrow end across the v-shaped loop. Lift the narrow end up through the loop one more time.

Q: This is done by heating up an appropriately sized container of water and dissolving a large amount of baking soda into the water. Use enough baking soda such that it takes at least a minute to dissolve in the hot water with constant stirring. Shape a liner for the container from aluminum foil and place the foil in the container of hot water. Place silver that has been previously cleaned with soap into the bath (inside of the foil) for several minutes. The tarnish should dissolve away. Rinse the piece well when you're finished. Be sure that the silver touches the aluminum, or else it won't work. The silver and aluminum, with the solution between them, form a battery, and when you touch the silver to the aluminum, it shorts the battery and a small current flows, allowing the chemical reaction to happen. This method is quick and better than a corrosive dip, but probably not as gentle as silver cleaning paste.
A: Try an electrochemical method.

Q: For a large, substantial tag, cut out your image to create a 5 x 7 inch/12.5 x 17.5cm card. Although this will be the tag's main image, you will be laying cardstock over it that will contain the recipient's name. Use distressing ink to create a vintage look. If the photo, sheet music or image already has a distressed appeal, you can skip this step.
A:
Cut the artwork item to size. Ink around the edges.
