In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To begin your foundation for the shell stitch, you will need to make a chain. Your chain will need to be a multiple of six plus five additional stitches. For example, you could make a chain of 18 plus five, which would be 23. This would be a great length for practicing the stitch. Or, for a wider piece, you could make a chain of 60 plus five, which would be 65. To chain, loop the yarn over your hook two times, then pull the first loop through the second one. Then, loop your yarn over the hook again and pull it through the loop. Keep doing this until your chain is the required length.
Summary: Chain a multiple of six plus five.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can do this with a handheld blender or by hand with a fork or whisk. If you choose to do it by hand, mix it for about 5 minutes to ensure thorough mixing. If you don't mix the stabilizers into your ingredients well enough, they will clump and not thicken your ice cream properly. Some gelling stabilizers need to be hydrated in hot liquid while others need to by hydrated in cold liquid. This will determine when you should add the stabilizer into your recipe. For example, gelatin needs to be hydrated in cold liquid. You should add it to the cold liquid (i.e.: milk or cream) and let it bloom before proceeding. Do not get impatient and try to churn it while it is still warm. Even if it is lukewarm, the canister won't be cold enough to thicken it and freeze it. Chill the ice cream base for four hours in an ice bath, or overnight in the fridge. This should go without saying, but it is a common ice cream making mistake. If you are churning your ice cream and it is not thickening, make sure that the canister is cold. Try adding some more ice and rock salt to it. Next time, put the canister into the freezer the day before you start making ice cream. This will ensure that it is cold enough. As soon as the ice cream is thick enough so that a spoon leaves an indent, stop churning. This will help prevent overrun and reduce the amount of air. Transfer the ice cream into a flat, wide container, such as a loaf pan. This will help it freeze faster. Work quickly; you want to get the ice cream into the freezer as quickly as possible. If you wait too long, the ice cream will start to melt, which can lead to ice crystals. This can affect the texture, making it grainy and gritty. Keep the ice cream on the bottom of your freezer, towards the back, where it is the coldest. Don't open the freezer and peek at the ice cream. This will only slow down the freezing process and introduce ice crystals. Place some frozen stuff on top of the ice cream container; make sure that these items don't touch the actual ice cream.
Summary: Mix the stabilizer into the ingredients well. Hydrate gelling stabilizers according to the instructions on the package. Make sure that the ice cream base is cold before you churn it. Freeze the canister the day before to ensure that it is cold enough. Stop churning early and transfer the ice cream into a flat, wide container. Put the ice cream into the freezer immediately.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before making calls, be sure to know just what is expected of you for that day, especially sales targets. This will help you to plan out a calling strategy. And don't be shy about asking your supervisor to clarify instructions. This shows that you're detail-oriented, a quality which bosses and managers look for in their employees. Once you have your daily assignment, set some hourly goals. These should be ambitious enough to reach your daily targets, without being so demanding that they're unrealistic. Placing impossible expectations on yourself can cause needless stress and frustration. To create a work environment where you can focus, you'll need to do away with potential distractions. Before you begin to make calls, remember to turn off your cell phone, close any web browsers on your computer, and tell co-workers that you'd prefer not to be disturbed during work time. To help you limit your internet time, try productivity tools such as LeechBlock or SelfControl. Sit at your desk with a good posture, not slumped back or bending over your keyboard. Arrange your devices so you can access them easily. Also be sure to have everything you need at your desk, such as calling lists and a bottle of water. This way you shouldn't need to get up until your break time.
Summary:
Know what you need to accomplish. Set goals you can reach. Remove distractions. Get comfortable at your desk.
