Problem: Article: If you can't purchase it directly from the roaster within a week or so of it being roasted, opt for a vacuum-sealed bag from a reputable national coffee-bean roaster. If possible, choose a burr grinder in place of a normal blade grinder. For best results, grind the coffee fresh right before brewing each day. Experiment with different ground size. Although finer grounds are generally preferred, they can result in a bitterer brew than coarse grounds. Many people recommend that you aim for grounds the size of coarse sugar. If you like the water taste of the water that comes out of your tap, it's likely to make good coffee. Softened or distilled water should never be used, but carbon-filtered water can reduce the chemical taste of some tap water. Minerals in water are important for the brewing process.
Summary: Purchase freshly roasted, whole bean coffee. Purchase your own coffee grinder, or grind it in the store. Use good water.

Problem: Article: You'll be slow-cooking the carnitas for a longer period of time for extra juiciness and tenderness. Carnitas calls for a fatty cut of pork, so butt roast is the ideal cut to work with. If you'd like, trim off any large pieces of fat from the pork as you cut the chunks. Although it's not necessary, it does make a healthier carnitas. If you leave the fat on the pork pieces, much of it will render into the pan while it cooks, coating the carnitas and making them even juicier. You can boil your carnitas or simmer them on the stovetop, but you get the most consistent results baking your carnitas, them broiling them for a crispy finish. Place the butt roast pieces into the smallest casserole dish you have, with: 1 white or yellow onion, peeled and quartered 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime) 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dry oregano 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 bay leaves The juice of 1 orange, with the orange rind itself (quartered) salt and pepper Which liquid you choose is up to you. Know that if you choose to cook with oil instead of a non-fatty liquid, your carnitas will turn out much juicier. Of course, it won't be healthy, but it's okay to splurge a little for the sake of a true delicacy. Here are some options you can use to cover the carnitas: Vegetable oil Rendered lard Water Orange juice After an hour, the carnitas should reach a temperature of about 208F (97.8C), and stay there until the meat has finished cooking 2 hours later. Broil until the tops of the pork become crispy and darken. When done perfectly, you'll have crispy carnitas that's still succulent and tender. Top with onion relish and tomatillo salsa.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 275F (135C). Cut up 3 pounds of pork butt roast (also called pork shoulder or picnic roast) into 2-inch chunks. Place the butt roast pieces into a casserole dish, with several ingredients. Place enough liquid into the casserole dish to just fill the carnitas completely. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place the carnitas in the oven for approximately 3 hours. Remove the carnitas from the casserole and, once cool, start breaking apart with your hands or a fork. Heat up the broiler and place the shredded carnitas on a baking tray for several minutes. Stir the carnitas with a fork and brown again under the broiler for several minutes. Add the carnitas to your tortillas and serve.

Problem: Article: Some schools might require you to wear business casual or professional attire for the ceremony. Check your school's website or contact the office in charge of graduation to confirm the dress code. If there isn't a dress code, you should still attempt to look put together and professional. Pick a solid-colored or striped dress shirt with a collar, and add a coordinating tie. Opt for a pair of neutral-colored slacks or dress pants to round out the outfit, and wear a belt with your shirt tucked in. If you live in a warm climate, you could also wear a polo shirt with a collar. To show off your school spirit, you can match your tie to the color of your robe or the school colors. Choose a dress in a neutral color, like white, tan, gray, navy, or black. If you're wearing a skirt and a blouse, stick to a solid-colored top that's easy to pair with a bright color. Pick a knee-length skirt in a solid color to add dimension to the outfit. Make sure the skirt or dress is an appropriate length for a professional occasion, but not so long that it sticks out of the bottom of the gown. Leave your purse or backpack at home for graduation, and stick to just the necessities, like your keys, phone, and wallet. If you'll see your family before the ceremony, drop off your bag with them to retrieve it later. If you're wearing a dress or skirt, look for one that has pockets to inconspicuously hold your phone, wallet, and keys during the ceremony. Graduation isn't the best day to break in a new pair of shoes since you'll be doing a lot of walking and standing. Pick a pair of comfortable dress shoes or loafers if you're going for a masculine look. For a feminine outfit, opt for flats, comfortable wedges, or chunky heels. Avoid wearing stiletto heels or very high heels for the ceremony, especially if it's outside. Your heels might get caught in the grass, or you might trip while you're walking in the processional. Wear your shoes for a few hours the day before the ceremony to practice walking and make sure they're comfortable.
Summary:
Follow your school's dress code if they have one. Wear a dress shirt, tie, and pair of slacks for a more masculine outfit. Opt for a dress or a blouse and a skirt for a feminine look. Avoid bringing a bag to the ceremony. Pick a pair of comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in.
