Q: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 3 cups (360 g) of flour, 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda, 2 teaspoons (10 g) ground ginger, 1 teaspoon (5 g) ground cinnamon, teaspoon (1.25 g) ground nutmeg, and teaspoon (1.25 g) salt. Set the bowl aside. For the best results, sift the ingredients through a wire sieve into the bowl before mixing. Some recipes omit the ground nutmeg, and replace it with teaspoon (2.5 g) ground allspice and teaspoon (2.5 g) ground cloves. You can also choose to include all three, depending on how spicy you want your gingerbread cookies to be. In a second large bowl, mix together cup (170 g), or 1 sticks, of softened butter with cup (150 g) firmly packed brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the two together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Softened butter should be cool when you touch it, but light pressure from your finger should leave an indentation. The best way to soften butter is to leave it out at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Cut it into chunks to help it soften more quickly. When the butter and brown sugar are thoroughly combined, stir cup (170 g) of molasses, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract into the bowl. Make sure to mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times to ensure that the ingredients are completely combined. Because molasses is so thick, it's best to drizzle it into the bowl, rather than dump it all in at once. To make the dough, combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture. Use a wooden spoon to slowly stir the dry ingredients in so you can ensure that they are fully incorporated. It will form a stiff dough when they're fully mixed. You'll have an easier time mixing the dry ingredients into the butter mixture if you do it in batches and stir after each addition. Once the dough is formed, press it in a flat disc. Cover the disc with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it chill for at least four hours, though you may get better results if you refrigerate it overnight. You can make the dough up to two days in advance of when you plan to bake the cookies.
A: Stir the flour, baking soda, and spices together in a bowl. Combine the butter and brown sugar in another bowl. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture. Press the dough into a disc to refrigerate.

Q: Find a flat space to wrap your mug to make sure the wrapping job is even. Cut out a length of packing paper that is both longer and wider than your mug. Packing paper is usually available at most department or shipping stores. As an alternative, you may use old newspapers in a pinch. The longer the length, the thicker the protection your mug will have. Turn the mug over horizontally and roll it in the packing paper lengthwise. Continue rolling until you have reached the end of the packing paper. If your mug feels loose in the center of the paper roll, unroll it and try again. Fold the bottom end of the packing paper up and around the length of the cup. Stuff the other end of the packing paper inside the mug's mouth. If either end is too long to fold or stuff, trim it with a pair of scissors. Double tuck and wrap the mug in packing paper if it is especially valuable or fragile. For additional security, bind the sides down with packing tape. Only place wrapped cups and mugs in the box to prevent any of them breaking as you move or store them. Opt for a plastic box instead of cardboard to give your mugs external protection. Add bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper balls to the bottom of the box for additional cushioning. Label the box contents as fragile so you know to treat it with care.
A: Lay out a square of packing paper. Place the mug in one corner of the packing paper. Tuck the packing paper's sides in. Pack your mugs carefully inside a box.

Q: Fatigue can make your body crave junk food heavy in processed carbs and sugars. You may feel you deserve a treat after a long night, so you'll be unlikely to reach for unhealthy foods. Make sure this is not an option. Keep your home stocked with healthy snacks for when you get off work. Healthy snacks include fruits, vegetables, and spreads like hummus. Prepare food in an easily snack-able form so you don't have to waste time preparing when you're tired from work. Cut fruits and vegetables into slices before leaving for work. You can also buy pre-cut fruits and veggies at the supermarket if you have a particularly long week. Even if you sleep in late, you should always have breakfast. Within one hour of waking up, make sure that you eat a healthy meal. This can help rev your metabolism for the coming day. Try oatmeal and fruit, or healthy proteins like hard boiled eggs. If you're exhausted from working late, the 24 hour McDonald's across from your office may seem like a well-deserved treat at 3 AM. However, part of the reason night shift workers gain weight is because of unhealthy eating habits like these. If you need a meal during your shift, prepare a meal at home before work. Make sure any meal you bring is healthy. Strive for meals rich in lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. You should also bring in your own snacks. This will help you avoid unhealthy vending machine foods during your shift. Metabolism tends to slow down if you wait until you're extremely hungry to eat. Due to the unusual schedule, night shift workers often end up eating when they're already famished. Not only does this have a poor effect on the body, it's a cause for post-shift overeating and can make you feel sluggish on the job. Opt for light snacks between meal times and, when it's time for your dinner break, stick to a low calorie, healthy meal. Pick filling, wholesome snacks such as nuts and fruits, not chips or cookies. Many people mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure that you stay hydrated during your shift. Dehydration can lead to food cravings and overeating, which can cause you to pack on the pounds when working a night shift. Purchase a water bottle and fill it before your shift. This will cut down on the cost of purchasing bottled water at work. Refill the bottle at a water fountain when necessary. If you're not a big water drinker, consider infusing your water with fruit to add flavor. For example, you can add a squeeze of lemon or toss a few berries into your water bottle. This may also add a small amount of calories to your drinks, cutting back on the urge to snack or overeat. Using flavor mixes or additives adds unnecessary sugar and coloring. It can be hard to maintain a regular eating schedule when you're working a night shift. However, it's vital you do so if you want to lose weight. Your body learns to expect food at certain times. If you're working a late shift, your eating habits may be erratic. If you shift your eating schedule during weekends or days off, your body never has time to fully adjust to an eating schedule. This may cause weight gain. Try to eat at specific times each day. For example, if you get up at 1:30PM, make sure to eat breakfast by 2PM. Even on weekends or days off, when you may get up earlier, strive to eat at 2PM. This can be difficult when it comes to socializing. For you, dinnertime may be around midnight, but your friends may be getting together for food at 7PM on a Saturday. Show up and have a drink or a light appetizer instead of a full meal.
A:
Stock your home with healthy foods. Eat breakfast. Bring meals from home. Snack healthily throughout a late shift, if possible. Drink water at work. Strive to eat at the same time each day.
