INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In a large saucepan, combine the milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook on medium low heat until the mixture comes to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Failing to stir the milk mixture as it boils can cause it to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan, which may ruin the taste of your eggnog. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and the sugar, and beat or whisk until fluffy. If using an electric beater, beat the egg mixture on low speed for one or two minutes. Whisk the milk mixture into the room temperature egg mixture until the ingredients are well incorporated. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan. Cook it over medium heat until it becomes thick, which takes about three to five minutes. Eggs must be tempered, which means it's important to add the milk mixture gradually to the room temperature egg mixture. Combining them too quickly or adding the eggs directly to the hot saucepan can cause the eggs to curdle and ruin the eggnog. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour or two, or until the mixture itself reaches room temperature Stir in the cream and rum or brandy. Mix the eggnog well. Feel free to skip the rum/brandy for a non-alcoholic version. However, keep in mind that non-alcoholic eggnog will spoil faster, so don't store it for too long before you drink it. Refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors combine, and serve with grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick garnish. The eggnog is best if enjoyed within several days. Refrigerate unused portions and toss it after a week or if the eggnog develops a foul odor.

SUMMARY: Create the milk mixture. Make the egg mixture. Add the milk mixture slowly to the egg mixture and cook. Remove the eggnog from the burner. Add the remaining the ingredients. Cover the eggnog tightly with plastic wrap.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people are intimately familiar with their family history, and others don't know as much about their grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, and so on. Before you make a family tree, get all the information you need by conducting research in the following ways: Ask family members for information. If you're making a family tree for a school project, your mother and father may be able to tell you everything you need to know about your family. For extensive family history projects, consider looking at a genealogy database. Sites like Familysearch.org have information about long lost relatives you may not have known you had. Be thorough. A family tree isn't as useful when someone is accidentally left out. You might want to check with multiple sources to make sure your information is accurate. It's interesting to trace your family history as far back as you can, but when you're drawing a family tree, it's not practical to record information that extends more than a few generations back. You're limited by the size of the paper you use, since you need to be able to fit all of the names on one page. Many people choose to go as far back as their great great grandparents and their siblings, or their great grandparents and their siblings. These are people you, your parents or your grandparents have met, so they are tied to you more closely than more distant relatives. If you have a large family with a lot of great aunts and uncles, cousins, and so on, you may have to end with a more recent generation to fit everyone on one page. If you have a smaller family you might be able to extend the tree to a more distant generation.

SUMMARY: Find out more about your genealogy. Decide how far back to go.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Salt buildup on the lips can cause them to dry out quickly. Changing your diet so that it includes less salt might make a big difference in the texture of your lips. When you do eat salty foods, rinse your lips with warm water afterward so the salt doesn't sit on your lips. Smoking is tough on lips, causing dryness and irritation. If you're a smoker, there are lots of good reasons to kick the habit, and having healthy lips is one of them. Try to cut back on smoking as much as possible to save your lips from getting damaged. Just like the rest of your skin, the skin on your lips is susceptible to sun damage. Wear lip balm with SPF 15 or higher to protect your lips from getting burned. There's nothing like the cold, dry air of winter to make your lips dry and flaky. If you tend to pick your lips more in the winter than in the summer, that's why. Try pulling your scarf up over your mouth when you go outside to protect your lips from the cold.

SUMMARY: Eat less salt. Avoid smoking. Protect your lips from sunburn. Cover your face in cold or dry weather.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place a compost bin in your workplace kitchen or break room and your encourage workers to add their lunch scraps to it. Charge one employee with emptying your compost bin into an outdoor container on a daily or weekly basis. To make your business a greener place, put a well-labeled recycling bin next to every trash can. Put extra recycling bins in the break room, by the copy machine and in the mail room to encourage your employees to recycle rather than just throwing stuff away. Place a memo above the recycling bin telling employees what items should go in the recycling bin. This will both help prevent confusion and will inspire recycling. You will need the participation of your staff in order to become a green business. Some easy things to start recycling are paper, plastic, and aluminum cans. Make sure your staff knows where they can find the recycling bins and what goes in them by holding a staff meeting that explains the benefits of recycling in the workplace and the expectations of all employees to participate in company recycling.

SUMMARY:
Provide an indoor compost bin. Make recycling easy. Educate your staff on ways they can recycle at the office.
