Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Pulse 1 cups (150 grams) of old-fashioned oats in a food processor. Mix together your dry ingredients. Mash the bananas, then put them into a separate mixing bowl. Stir the eggs, honey, milk, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas using a whisk. Stir the oat mixture into banana mixture. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. Scoop the mixture into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake the muffins in the center rack of the oven for 20 to 23 minutes. Wait for the muffins to cool before serving them.

Answer: Lightly grease a muffin pan, or line it with paper muffin liners instead. Keep blending the oatmeal until it is finely ground and resembles coarse flour. This will replace the flour typically used in muffin recipes. If you don't own a food processor, you can try using a blender instead. You can also use pre-ground oatmeal instead. Leave the remaining 1 cup (100 grams) of oats wholes and unblended. Pour the 1 cups (150 grams) of ground old-fashioned oat into a large bowl, then add the 1 cup (100 grams) of whole oat-fashioned oats. Add in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir everything together until evenly combined. For more flavorful muffins, add in an extra teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice. If you are vegan, you will need to use flaxseed eggs. Add another teaspoon of baking powder for extra raising power. You can mash them up using a fork or a mixer. Keep mashing them until no lumps or clumps remain. If you don't like bananas, you can use 1 cup (255 grams) of plain, unsweetened applesauce instead. Keep whisking until everything is evenly combined, and there are no lumps or streaks. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often so that the honey doesn't settle. If you are a strict vegan, try agave nectar instead of honey. If you are vegan, use a non-dairy milk instead of dairy milk. If you are vegan, use 2 flaxseed eggs instead of chicken eggs. Prepare the flax eggs by: Mixing 2 tablespoons (14 grams) of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir it into your oil mixture. Keep stirring until everything is just mixed together. Don't worry if it looks too wet or lumpy. During this time, the oats will soak up the moisture from the eggs and milk. Once the 10 minutes are up, you can fold in cup (cc grams) of tasty extras, such as dried fruits or chopped nuts. You have enough batter to make 14 muffins. Once you have the batter in the muffin tin, you can sprinkle the tops with some old-fashioned oatmeal; press the oats gently into the muffin tops to ensure that they don't fall off. They are ready when a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Allow them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes first. Then, take them out, and let them finish coolingabout 10 to 15 minutes more.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your footwear into a plastic bag. Put your shoes into a freezer. Thaw and dry your shoes.

Answer: If you don't put your shoes in a bag before freezing, your shoes might become frozen to your freezer. A large, resealable plastic bag is highly recommended. Using an open mouthed bag, like a grocery bag, can sometimes cause the shoe stink to transfer to your freezer. Many kinds of bacteria, but especially foot odor causing bacteria, are weak to cold. Leave your shoes in your freezer for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. Mild odor might be eliminated quickly, but the longer you allow your shoes to freeze, the more likely the odor causing bacteria will die. If you live in a cold part of the world or a place with cold winters, you may be able to leave your shoes outside to kill the bacteria. However, you might want to cover the tops of your shoes to prevent snow from blowing in. Fresh from the freezer, you might not be able to tell right away if your shoe odor is gone. As the shoe thaws, it should become apparent whether or not your odor problem has been resolved. If the odor remains, freeze your shoe again, allowing even more time for the cold to work on the bacteria. After this, the odor should be gone. To speed the drying process, you might try putting your shoes in a clothes dryer, though this method may be damaging to more delicate pairs of shoes. A blow dryer can also be used to thaw/dry your shoes, though this might take a while.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask your employee for a meeting. Explain the problem to them. Determine the Cause of Absence. Avoid taking responsibility for the employee's absence. Explain why absenteeism is a problem. Provide a verbal warning.

Answer: Try to do this discreetly, via email if possible. You don't want to embarrass the employee, particularly if they have good reasons for their absence. Calmly explain your concerns about their absenteeism to them. Simply state that you have seen a pattern in their absenteeism, and that you want to determine if these absences are legitimate, or if you need to work together to improve the issue. Avoid stating any suspicions you have about their absences, as this may cause the employee to become defensive. Give the employee a chance to explain his absences. Be aware that he may have to share very personal information with you about a family crisis or health issue, so do your best to be compassionate and patient. Also be aware that he may not have a good excuse for his absence. In this case, you should still remain calm and concerned. It will not be helpful to scold the employee or make them feel even more embarrassed, particularly if you are interested in keeping them as an employee. Remember that it is not yours or the company's job to fix your employee's non-work related problems. Instead, your job is to provide them with the resources they need to do their job well. Explain that while absence is sometimes unavoidable, chronic absenteeism hurts the company and creates extra work for others. When your business is doing its peak volume, it's especially important for him to be there as scheduled. It can also create interpersonal conflict within the work team if people are picking up the slack for someone who does not adhere to the attendance policy. If you have determined that the employee's chronic absence is not related to legitimate issues, warn the employee that he needs to improve or face disciplinary action. Document the meeting and make it clear that a verbal warning was given. It is important to have evidence that you discussed the matter with the employee, and that it is clear what went on in the meeting. This could help avoid future disagreements about what went on and what did not.

Answer:
Pick fun little enamel pins or even buttons with colorful sayings. You could even add floral brooches. Arrange them on your bag for a fun look that's all yours!

Embroidery patches come in a variety of forms, so that makes it easy to find one perfect for your style. You could add little stars, flowers, fun sayings, kittens, or even just your name.

Make a knot, and you've added a bit of color to help the bag match your outfit! You could also use a bandana, as you can find many colorful ones at craft stores.
