Yeast loves nothing better than a warm, moist climate to live its yeasty life to the fullest. If you want your dough to rise, you need to give the yeast what it wants. Fill a baking pan with boiling water, and set it on the lowest rack in your oven. Place the container of dough on the middle rack, and close the oven door and allow the dough to rise. Alternately, you can boil a cup of water in the microwave, then place the container of dough in the microwave with the water, and close the door. (Don't microwave the dough!) Some people turn on the oven, and place the dough on top of the stove, covered with a damp towel. The oven keeps the surface of the stove warm, and the damp towel provides the moisture. If warm and moist isn't activating the yeast (you'll know in less than an hour), you can try adding more yeast. Open a new package of yeast, and mix teaspoon of yeast with 1 cup (240ml) of warm water (at about 110F/43C) and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let this mixture proof for about 10 minutes, until it gets 1/2- to 1-inch of foam. If this fails, you will need to get fresh yeast and try again. While proofing this yeast mixture, gently warm the flat dough to about 100F (38C) by placing the bowl in a warm place. Adding more flour as necessary: a ratio of 60% flour to 40% liquid is usually a good ratio for bread doughs so add sufficient flour needed to balance. Knead the active yeast mixture into the dough, then let it rise in a warm, moist place. This can also be an indicator to see if your yeast is not active. This method makes the yeast very active so when it is added to the dough, it should rise perfectly. If your dough still fails to rise, it will indicate the yeast is not at fault: there is another problem. You can also do this at the beginning of the recipe next time you make a different yeast dough.

Summary: Turn up the temperature. Add more yeast. Blend in the starter.

Take apart a pair of cheap sunglasses and use the parts to create a template for your wooden sunglasses. An easy way to do this is to lay each part on a photocopier and make a copy. Alternatively, you can try to trace out the shapes of the parts using pencil and paper. Cut out each part of the sunglasses from your paper template. Also keep the lenses from the cheap sunglasses to use in your new wooden pair. Remove them by pushing them gently out. Each block of wood should be approximately the length of the cheap sunglasses. Don't worry about depth, as you'll need a margin of error. It's quickest to use a scroll saw or some other powered saw for this. However, you can use a coping saw to do it by hand. It will take longer, however. Place the lenses on top of the openings where they should go and trace their shape with a sharp pencil. Use a drum sander attachment in a drill press to sand near, but not over the lines you just traced. You could also probably do this with a rotary tool with a drum sander attached. The reason you are doing this is to leave a groove for the lenses to sit. . With a wood chisel, cut away the excess wood from the back of the frame. Make sure you don't cut too much away. Next, observe the curvature of the original frame, and attempt to copy it on your wooden one. You can use a drum sander attachment on a drill press to do this, or a rotary tool with the appropriate attachment. At this time, you'll also want to sand down the frame and the earpieces until they are smooth. You can do this using a combination of a rotary tool, wood files, and sandpaper. For this, you can cut away the hinges from the cheap sunglasses you've been using. You can also cannibalize the hinges from another pair that no one wants. Cut away little cavities approximately in the shape of your hinges in the frame and earpieces. Then glue the hinges into place. You'll need to use clamps to hold them in place while the glue sets. Leave the clamps on for about an hour. Attach the earpieces to the frame using the screws that came with the hinges. With a piece of cloth, apply a coat of mineral oil to the wooden frame. This is helpful because of the amount of time the frame will be in contact with the skin. Finally, buff the frame with beeswax for a smooth finish. The final step is to snap in the lenses for the last time. Don't force them in, or you might break them. Simply push gently until the lenses pop into position.

Summary: Make a template. Attach each shape to pre-cut blocks of wood. Cut away the shape of the sunglasses. Fit the lenses. Remove excess wood and shape the frame. Make the hinges to attach the earpieces. Apply mineral oil and buff with beeswax. Pop the lenses into the frames.

To reheat pre-cooked sausages, microwave them on full power for 10 to 15 seconds per portion. This method can be used for both sausages cooked at home or pre-cooked packaged sausages. It also works with both links and patties. Arrange the sausages in a single layer over a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels. Cover them with an additional paper towel to reduce splatter. Microwave thawed sausages for about 10 seconds per link or patty. For frozen sausages, reheat them for 15 seconds per link or patty. Note that exact cooking times may vary depending on the power output of your microwave. Warm the sausages through for 8 to 10 minutes using medium heat. As with the microwave method, you can use this method for nearly any type of pre-cooked breakfast sausage: links or patties, home-cooked or packaged-cooked, thawed or frozen. Place the links or patties in single layer in a cool nonstick pan. Cover the pan and set it on the stove over medium heat. Reheat the sausages for 8 minutes if previously thawed or 10 minutes from frozen. You should not need to turn the sausages while they reheat. When ready, the sausages should be warmed throughout.

Summary: Reheat cooked sausages in the microwave. Alternatively, reheat cooked sausages on the stove. Finished.
