How to cook chard
Boil water.
Steaming is one of the most common methods of cooking chard and other leafy green vegetables. Start by bringing a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
OPTIONS:
- Then add 1 cup (237 ml) of thai rice. You can cook the curry from your own rice or from a rice cooker that you store in your house.
- Salt raises the boiling temperature of the water, helping the chard to cook faster when you put it in. Placing a lid over your pot will help it boil faster.
- The water should be coming to a boil quickly when you place a lid on the pot. Keep in mind that boiling may cause the leaves on chard to wilt and develop a slimy residue.
- Once the water is boiling, remove the chard from the water, leaving its stem in its original container. Allow it to sit on top of the water for an hour at a time.

answer: Salt raises the boiling temperature of the water, helping the chard to cook faster when you put it in. Placing a lid over your pot will help it boil faster.

How to board a small boat
Prefer boarding across a solid platform if possible.
Always board as near to the middle of the boat as possible.
Hold on.
OPTIONS:
- Either stand on the deck or simply lie on the surface. This simple trick can help if you have to shift your weight onto two legs at once.
- Don't let go of the front rail. This would be easily knocked over and you could potentially drive yourself to the bottom.
- If you are on the edge or side, lock your fingers, making sure your fingers don't slip out or get tangled in the rope. Hold onto the bar at either end with your thumb and forefingers.
- If you are crossing using a platform, hold on to the rails provided. If you are getting onto the boat off a jetty or via wading, hold on to the boat itself.

answer: If you are crossing using a platform, hold on to the rails provided. If you are getting onto the boat off a jetty or via wading, hold on to the boat itself.

How to soften towels
Wash towels with warm or hot water.
Warmer water absorbs detergent better, which means that less soap residue is left caked onto the fabric. Furthermore, hot water can help dissolve oils that are left over from hygiene products and skin.
OPTIONS:
- Make sure that you wash from the neck up: most people have previously washed their towel with vinegar or baking soda, but this does not protect the towel from stain (light stains), grease, etc. Lay your towel out flat on a table.
- Be aware that brightly-colored towels may fade with repeated hot-water washing. If you don't care about fading, then proceed to wash with hot water.
- Try using skim or salt water. Since water sanitizes fabrics more strongly, it is a good option for situations where you want to minimize dirtiness and to help reduce acidity.
- Read the instructions on the packaging of your towels before washing them at home. Never place wet towels in the dryer.

answer:
Be aware that brightly-colored towels may fade with repeated hot-water washing. If you don't care about fading, then proceed to wash with hot water.
