Q: The S-shaped blade is the standard food processing blade that every model comes with. This blade can be used to chop fruits and vegetables, puree soups and sauces, and grind dry ingredients into a powder. If a recipe doesn't specify a blade attachment, use this blade. The slicing disk is an attachment that sits near the lid of the food processor. This attachment is usually connected to the blade mount with a long, plastic, detachable stem. The slicing disk is used to slice fruits and vegetables into thin, circular pieces. For example:  Slice peeled potatoes into thin disks for scalloped potatoes or potato chips.  Slice a variety of vegetables such as zucchini, sweet potatoes, and carrots into thin slices for veggie chips. Use the disk to slice raw Brussel sprouts. Add them to a fresh salad for a healthy crunch. Like the slicing disk, the grater attachment sits near the lid of the food processor. Some models of food processors combine the grating and slicing attachment. If so, you will have to flip the slicing disk over to use the grating feature. This attachment can be used to grate large amounts of food at once. For example:  Instead of grating a block of cheese by hand, use your food processor to quickly grate the entire thing. Grate a variety of cabbage, beets, and carrots for your favorite coleslaw recipe. Quickly shred a few potatoes for a batch of latkes or hash browns. Some higher end food processors come with a dough blade attachment. This attachment is usually placed on the blade mount in the same position as the S-shaped blade. This blade can be used to knead:  Pizza dough Pasta dough Pie dough Bread dough
A: Insert the S-shaped blade. Choose the slicing disk. Use the grater attachment. Knead dough with the dough blade.

Q: Use the fuel that is recommended by the manufacturer only. If you try to substitute with another type of fuel, you may risk damaging the barbecue or causing a fire or melt down of the barbecue. A clean barbecue will function better and is healthier for you. An unclean barbecue will increase the potential for carcinogenic build-up to enter your food. Always clean after a barbecue and it'll be easier and you'll be less tempted to barbecue over the burnt on bits that way!
A: Use only the appropriate fuel. Clean regularly.

Q: Turn the oven on to 450 degrees F (230 C). Get out a large baking sheet. Tear off a sheet of parchment paper and lay it on the baking sheet. Set the pan aside while you make the eggs. Place a large mixing bowl and 4 small ramekins on your work surface. Get out 4 large eggs. Crack each egg and separate the whites from the yolks. Put the egg whites together in the mixing bowl. Place each yolk into separate ramekins and put them in the fridge. Keeping the yolks separate will make it easier to place them individually on the four egg "clouds." Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to the egg whites according to your taste. Take an electric mixer or a whisk and beat the egg whites for about 5 minutes (if you're using an electric mixer). The egg whites should become stiff. Add 1/2 cup (50 g) of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 pound (113 g) of chopped deli ham (optional). Hold a rubber spatula and use a twisting motion with your wrist to gently incorporate the seasonings into the egg whites. Try to lift the egg whites up and over the seasonings so you combine them while keeping the volume in the egg whites.
A: Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet. Separate 4 egg whites and yolks. Season and beat the egg whites. Fold in the cheese, chives, and ham (optional).

Q: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of treatment that helps people accept themselves and work toward their goals. Along the lines of this therapy, you can learn acceptance in order to reduce your pattern of berating yourself. Try using this worksheet found at getselfhelp.co.uk to work on acceptance. Fill in the blanks:  Activating Event (what happened) __________________ Thoughts (what went through your mind) ______________ Consequence of believing these thoughts ____________ Balanced, alternative thought ______________________ How you will defuse (see thoughts as passing sensations and cope appropriately) _________________ Normalizing is a common technique in therapy because it lets people know that their experience is common and normal. This in turn, can cause people to be more relaxed, and accept themselves and their situation more readily. For example, maybe you tend to be quiet in group settings, and you wish you spoke up more. Someone else who seems like the life of the party might wish instead to be a better listener. Don't be so hard on yourself! You're a unique human being.  Everyone has challenges and things to work on. You are a work in progress! There's always something to learn in order to develop a more productive way to live your life. You can learn to live more efficiently, conduct your relationships healthfully with yourself and others, increase your happiness, and decrease your anxiety.  If you find yourself thinking negatively again, try a little self-compassion. Try to be understanding with yourself as you would with a friend. If you have high expectations of yourself, try to focus on what you did well. If you need to, adjust your expectations and allow yourself some time to breathe or relax. Distraction or grounding techniques can serve as great resources for dealing with the emotional pain (anxiety, depression) that often coincides with self-critical thoughts and behaviors.  One way to distract yourself is to laugh. Laughter really can be the best medicine, as it has been shown to increase overall health. Try watching a funny movie or stand-up comedy or playing a humorous game. Engage in positive activities. Doing things that make you happy is a fantastic way to turn your mood around and cope with self-critical thoughts. Go somewhere that makes you happy. This might be a park, mall, pet store, or friend's house. Sometimes you may get too hung-up on your challenges, without taking into account the great aspects of who you are! Pay attention to and congratulate your positive characteristics in order to increase your self-esteem.  You can use a positive personal qualities sheet to organize your strengths. Define your good qualities, how others might describe you in a positive way, and what others have said about your positive characteristics in the past. Try drawing a flower and putting one positive quality on each petal. Try this worksheet. Stop others from berating you. How you allow other people to treat you may greatly affect how you treat yourself.  If your friends pick on you, then get new friends! If your coworkers are mean to you, then you must decide if it is really worth it to be around people who treat you badly.
A:
Practice self-acceptance. Normalize your experiences. Give yourself a break. Distract yourself. Focus on your positive qualities. Do not tolerate others putting you down.
