In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can host the party indoors at your home if you plan to have a smaller guest list of around 20-30 people. If you plan to invite more than 50 people, you may want to consider renting an indoor venue, such as a jazz club, a restaurant, or a community hall. You may go for an indoor venue if the weather is going to be unpredictable or too cold for your guests on the day of the party. If you know you are going to have good weather for the party, consider an outdoor venue like your backyard or a park. Outdoor venues were popular in the 1920s. You can also rent out the patio at a local restaurant or an outdoor garden. It may be fun to find an outdoor venue where you can put up white tents so guests can enjoy the weather without being directly in the sun or the elements all party long. A Great Gatsby party will be the most atmospheric at night. Parties in the 1920s were often scheduled late at night, going until the early morning. Make the start time for the party in the evening, such as 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock. Expect guests to arrive fashionably late. Having the party later at night will also give you time to prepare for the party that day. Go for a black and gold theme for the invitations to make them more Gatsby-esque. Choose art deco patterns and gold glitter. Pick font that is slim and glamorous looking. You can make your own invitations using your computer or an online invitation site. Send out the invitations at least two weeks before the party date. You can also order custom invitations from online print and design shops. For example, you may write, "The party is on Thursday, March 4, at the Kelly Jazz Bar, from 8 pm to 1 am." You can also include a note about the theme of the party, such as, "Please join us for a Great Gatsby Party." Ask your guests to dress up based on the theme. Suggest flapper dresses, pearls, feathers, dapper suits, and silk scarves. Encourage your guests to dress in their best Gatsby style outfits for the party. You may note that dressing up is optional, but recommended in the invitation.
Summary: Get an indoor venue for a smaller party. Go for an outdoor venue based on the weather. Schedule the party for the evening. Send out custom invitations. Note the time, date, and place of the party in the invitations. Request Gatsby-esque attire from guests.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The midsummer season allows bay leaves to produce their oils more abundantly, making harvesting easier. This will ensure your leaves do not wilt. Detach the bay leaves gently from the trees. You do not want to bruise them. You should pick the largest leaves that are available, as these will have the strongest flavor and fragrance.
Summary: Harvest bay leaves from plants that are at least 2 years old. Pick leaves during the middle of summer. Take the bay leaves off the trees in the morning, after the dew has evaporated. Choose leaves that are healthy and undamaged.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose a container large enough for your aluminum pieces to fit inside and be completely submerged. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of an oxygen-based cleaner (like Oxi-Clean, Clorox Oxygen Action, All Oxi-Active, or Shout Oxy Powder) in the bottom of the container. You can make your own oxygen cleaner by combining 1 part sodium percarbonate (dry, powdered hydrogen peroxide) and 1 part sodium carbonate (washing soda or soda ash). Take care not to confuse either of those powders with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). If you'd like your aluminum to have patterns in the aging, you can create them with aluminum foil. Crumple up several pieces of aluminum foil and place them in the bottom of the container, on top of the oxygen-based cleaner. Press them flat into the bottom of the container. Add a few more tablespoons of oxygen-based cleaner on top of the aluminum foil. You can put templates, gears, or other items on top of the aluminum that will prevent the covered sections from being aged, if you'd like to make designs or shapes on your aluminum. Several tablespoons should suffice. Spread the cleaner evenly over the metal and try to avoid building up piles of the powder on top of the aluminum. In order to keep your aluminum pieces from floating in the water, place a heavy object on top of them. You can use another piece of metal like a weight or a gear, or even a wrapped stack of dinner plates. Pour cold water in the container until the entire piece of aluminum is submerged. Add up to inch (1.3 cm) of water over the top of the aluminum to ensure it is completely covered. Carefully tip your container a little bit to one side and then the other in order to get the oxygen-based cleaner to flow. If the container is too heavy for you to move, gently agitate the mixture with a long spoon. Swirl the mixture to get the powder to flow through the water. The oxygen bubbles produced by the cleaner are what cause the oxidation of the aluminum and make it change colors. Though you may begin to notice the aluminum changing color after four hours, for best results you should leave the aluminum to soak for at least 24 hours. You can leave it for up to two days if you desire a deeper color change. Take the aluminum piece out of the water. Use a razor blade or the edge of a plastic card (like a hotel room key or credit card) to remove any heavy crusts of oxygen-based cleaner left on the aluminum. Mix 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of distilled white vinegar with each cup of water. Pour the mixture over the aluminum or soak the aluminum in the mixture for a few minutes. Then rinse the aluminum with plain water. Set the aluminum in a dish drainer to dry, if the piece is small enough, or prop it against a hard surface to dry if the piece is large. This aging process creates flowing gray tones in the aluminum.
Summary:
Sprinkle oxygen-based cleaner in the bottom of a container. Place crumpled aluminum foil in the container to create patterns. Lay your aluminum pieces on top of the aluminum foil. Sprinkle more oxygen-based cleaner on top of the aluminum pieces. Place something heavy on top of the aluminum. Pour cold water in the container. Tip the container gently to get the cleaner to flow. Add another few tablespoons of oxygen-based cleaner to the water. Allow the aluminum to soak for at least 24 hours. Remove the aluminum from the water. Rinse the aluminum with water and vinegar. Allow the aluminum to dry.
