Q: Balut eggs may be difficult to find, but check with Filipino restaurants, Asian grocery stores, specialty delis, and even local duck farmers to find a supplier of raw, fertilized duck eggs. Balut eggs are usually incubated for about 16 to 18 days before they're boiled and eaten. Look for eggs with thick shells and no cracks. Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. When the water is boiling, use tongs or a slotted spoon to gently place the egg in the water. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and boil the egg for 30 minutes. When the 30 minutes is up, use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the egg and immerse it in a bowl filled with ice water. This will stop the cooking process and help cool the egg faster. If you're serving balut at a party or to a group of people, it is traditionally served as a snack that's paired with beer. Simply place the eggs in a basket or bowl and serve them with your desired seasonings. Make sure each person has an egg cup, shallow bowl, and spoon.
A: Find a vendor who sells raw balut eggs. Boil a pot of water. Remove the egg from the water. Serve with beer.

Q: Your non-dominant hand, which for the purpose of this example will be referred to as the left hand, should be suspended over your leg. Hold the spoons in your right hand. Position your right hand between your left hand and leg. Remember that your left hand should be about 5 inches or so above your leg. You will create a clacking, rhythmic noise with your spoons by striking them down into your leg and up into your left hand. Lightly tap your spoons several times slowly until you feel comfortable with the grip. You can create different tones with your spoons by striking different parts against your left hand or leg. The two main striking points are the tip, which is the rounded end of the spoon opposite the end of the handle, and the cup of the spoon, which is the hollow part. Striking the tip of your spoons up into your left hand or down into your leg will create a lighter, brighter sound in your spoons. Hitting the cup of your spoon up into your left hand or down into your leg will creates a stronger, more accented sound. When attempting to strike the tip of your spoons, you may find it easiest to hold your left hand at a slight angle, so that you can bring the tip of your spoon up into the meaty part of your hand where the thumb joins the palm. This posture will help prevent you from hitting too much of the cup of the spoon, creating a louder clacking. Cup strikes will be flatter against your leg and left hand. Strike one cup against your leg, and then bring it up into the meaty part of your hand, where the thumb joins your palm. Both strikes should be as flat as possible to create the strong, accented tone of a cup strike. At first, you'll probably want to do this slowly. This will ensure you keep your spoons gripped correctly while coordinating the different strikes. Repeat the earlier exercise where you accented the second and fourth beats of your rhythm, only this time use a clap strike to accent and your tip strike on beats one and two. As you become more comfortable, try different patterns. You might try only accenting the third beat, or the first and fourth beats. Turn on some of your favorite music and follow the beat as you play your spoons. Keep in sync with the music while alternating your strikes.
A: Return your hands to the starting position with your spoons in hand. Practice the motion of striking your spoons. Identify the two main striking points on your spoons. Master tip strikes with your spoons. Perfect your cup strikes. Alternate your cup and tip strikes.

Q: You can do this at the time of delivery. Long term cord blood frozen storage can be a source of stem cells that may be used for future treatment of your child or another child. Currently, the diseases that may benefit from cord blood are limited and rare. However, as medical science advances, other future uses for cord blood are very likely. It is not true that delayed clamping of the UC removes the option of cord blood banking. Even after the transfer of blood from placenta to baby, additional blood can be acquired from the placenta for storage, if desired.
A: Be aware of your option as a parent to collect and store your baby's cord blood. Keep in mind you can still collect your baby's cord blood even if you use delayed clamping.

Q: If there's still a stain after the first time you scrubbed it, put on another layer of the baking soda. This time, use a spray bottle filled with white vinegar to help lift the stain even more. Allow the paste to sit for another 5 minutes before scrubbing it off.
A:
Reapply the paste with vinegar if the stain persists.
