Write an article based on this "Choose a picture frame based on your desired chalkboard size. Take the glass or plexiglass out of the frame. Sand the frame down. Wipe down the frame. Apply a coat of primer to the frame if you plan to paint it. Paint the frame as desired. Stain a wooden frame, alternatively."
article: You can repurpose an old frame, pick something up at a second-hand shop, or buy something new for this project. The size of the frame will be the finished size of your chalkboard. When selecting a frame, choose one that still has its backing. The backing isn't necessary, but it will help you secure the chalkboard later. You can also use a framed mirror, as long as you can pop the mirror out. It should slide right out. You will not be using the glass for this project, but if you enjoy crafting, you might want to save it among your crafting supplies for a future project. If you dispose of the glass, take precautions to ensure that it doesn't hurt anyone. You can either recycle it or throw it away, but if you throw it away, wrap it in several layers of cloth rag or plastic bag first. If the frame is in ragged condition, lightly sand it down with fine-grain sandpaper. Temporarily remove the backing to prevent it from getting dirty or damaged as you sand. After sanding the frame, wipe away particles and other dirt with a clean, dry cloth. Even if you do not need to sand the frame, you should still wipe it down with a clean cloth to rid it of dust and dirt. Use a sponge brush to apply a coat of white primer over the wooden frame. If you don't plan on painting your frame or just want to paint a fresh coat of the same color, primer isn't necessary. Primer is essential if you plan on painting the frame a light color, especially if a dark color lies beneath it. Lay out newspaper or plastic sheeting first to protect your surfaces. Let the primer dry before moving on to paint application. Use a sponge brush or traditional paintbrush to apply several coats of paint in your desired color. Apply the paint with the grain, not against it. You can also use spray paint for faster, easier application. Allow the paint to dry in between coats. Aim for 2-3 coats for full and even coverage. You could apply wood staining, too, as long as the frame is made with natural wood. Do not prime the wood before staining it and use a soft bristle paintbrush to apply it. Apply the stain with the grain, not across it. Allow the stain to dry in between coats.

Remove the lentils from heat when they're finished. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use them in a dish that calls for lentils."
article: Place the split red lentils into a sieve or fine-holed colander. Split red lentils are notorious for having debris in them, so be sure to clean well. Rinse under running water and pick out any obvious large pieces of debris. Add the water to the pan. Be sure to stir now and then to prevent sticking to the saucepan. The red split lentils will be cooked in about 25 minutes. You'll know they're done by observation - they turn into a mush or thick puree. Cooked split red lentils tend to be added to other dishes but can be eaten alone if you like them. Try them with the following ideas: Use them to thicken soups and casseroles. Add them to vegetable or meat curries. Turn them into kofte.
