Problem: Article: To start with, you should line up two of your squares side by side. These will be the squares you join first. It might be a wise idea to lay out all your squares first, however, so that you can see how everything will flow together. All the squares should be lined up with the right side facing up. It is also recommended that you start with the bottom pair of squares in the middle row of your overall project. This method will create another flexible joining seam, but unlike the whip stitch, this stitch will be hidden from both sides of the finished project. Thread a large darning needle with yarn. Insert one end of the yarn through the eye of the needle and pull enough of it through to prevent the needle from becoming un-threaded during the joining process. Do not knot the yarn at this point in time. Use yarn that is slightly thinner than the yarn you used to make your granny squares. Pick up the right-hand square of your first pair. Slide the needle up and through the bar on the edge of the square in the bottom left side of that square. The "bar" refers to the connecting thread lying between the front and back pieces of yarn of the square. This bar can only be seen from the side of the square. Pick up the square that goes to the direct left of the first square in your sequence. Weave the needle up and through the bar on the bottom right side of this square. Do not tighten the two squares together yet. Weave the needle up and through the next bar along the shared edge of the first square. Then, weave it up and through the next bar along the shared edge of the second square. Continue sewing through the bars on both edges to connect the two squares together along one shared edge. Leave the stitches loose as you sew initially to make the process easier. Grab both hanging ends of the joining yarn. One should hang from the bottom and the other should hang off the top. Pull the top end up and the bottom end down to tighten the seam and draw the two squares closer together. With this step, the seam should become "invisible" or hidden in between the two squares. Grab the next two squares in your sequence and repeat the same procedure to join them together. The next pair should connect to the top of the first pair. Use the yarn hanging off the top of the first pair to join the second pair together. Doing so will also connect the second pair to the first. When expanding the piece vertically, you need to do so in pairs, as you did when connecting the second pair to the first. When expanding the piece horizontally, you can do so by attaching a single square to the empty left or right side of the original square using another invisible stitch. When done, knot the yarn to the back edge of the final square.
Summary: Line up the squares. Thread your needle. Weave your needle into the bottom left edge of the first square. Weave your needle into the bottom right edge of the second square. Repeat along one edge. Tighten the joining stitch. Repeat with the next two squares. Attach additional squares horizontally or in vertical pairs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt to your morning smoothie. Yogurts, especially Greek yogurts, contain a lot of protein and can also help a smoothie develop a thick, creamy texture. Make sure not to get yogurts with added sugar, as these are generally not as healthy as plain yogurts. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, and other nut butters are rich sources that can add flavor to your morning smoothie. Go for organic, natural nut butters, free of unhealthy preservatives and additives, to add a healthy source of protein to your morning smoothie. Watch serving sizes, however. While nut butters are healthy, they contain a lot of calories. Make sure you only add a small amount of nut butter. Rice milk and hemp milk are not great sources of protein. Skim milk or soy milk can add a creamy taste to your smoothie while upping the protein content. Try mixing in a little soy or skim milk to your morning smoothie if you're trying to increase your protein intake.

SUMMARY: Add yogurt. Mix in natural nut butters. Add milk or soy milk.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Contrary to what you may think at first, crab sticks are actually often made with imitation crab after than crab proper. The safest bet is to buy a pack of pre-sculpted crab sticks from the supermarket. If you're much more the DIY type, you can get bigger slabs to cut into the pieces yourself. Outside of a deep-frying oil, you thankfully won't need anything else to get this recipe started. You can of course, however, add spices and garnishes to your personal preference. Getting your deep fryer up to this temperature and bringing the heat up to a standard cooking level is a good thing to do first. This may be even easier if you have a specialized fry cooker handy in your kitchen; you can cook crab sticks in much the same way as you would fries. As with a lot of cooking, it's good to get your elements heated up while you're getting the other preparations looked after. Although it's totally optional, the crispy taste for crab sticks goes wonderfully together with a good homemade batter. Make a thick fix of corn starch, flour, milk, salt, baking soda and water, and mix thoroughly. From there, you can dip your individual pieces in before putting them in the deep fryer. Tempura batters also work really well when it comes to crab sticks. You can cut your crab sticks however it suits you. You may find that cutting them into long sticks (like fries) makes them easier to eat generally speaking. Keep in mind that bigger pieces will also incur a longer average cooking time. Once you've got everything ready, it's time to put it all in the deep fryer. It's better to cook crab sticks in batches rather than all at once. This will help ensure even cooking throughout. Wait until they're generally golden-brown, then take them out and insert a new batch. Repeat this process until you've made as many a you prefer.
Summary:
Go out and buy some imitation crab. Heat a vegetable oil to 350F (177C). Make a batter. Chop your crab sticks. Put your crab sticks in the deep fryer.
