In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Visit a craft supply store to find a canvas and a frame or stretcher bars and tacks. You can purchase a blank canvas if you plan to draw your own needlepoint design onto it, or you can buy a canvas that already has a design printed on it. Choose a frame that will be large enough to hold your canvas. A premade needlepoint design is the best option if you are new to needlepoint. Always wash your hands before you touch the canvas to avoid getting any dirt or grime onto it. This will keep the edges from unraveling while you work. Use 1 in (2.5 cm) wide or smaller tape. Fold the tape along the edges of the canvas to cover them completely from end to end. You can also hem the edges of the canvas with a sewing machine to prevent them from unraveling. Unscrew the edges of the frame and place 1 piece onto a flat surface, such as a table. Lay the canvas on the frame and tug the edges of the canvas to open it up completely. Then, place the other side of the frame over the top of the canvas and secure the pieces together to hold the canvas taut.   You can also use stretcher bars and tacks to secure your canvas. Avoid working on loose canvas. This may increase your chances of distorting the fabric when you pull stitches taut. Hold the thread in one hand and the needle in the other (eye up).  Then, insert the tip of the thread into the eye of the needle and pull it through by about 4 in (10 cm).  You can use any type of embroidery floss, thread, or yarn you like to do needle point. However, a multi-strand embroidery floss is recommended since you can pull it apart as needed for thinner stands. If you have a hard time threading the needle, insert the tip of the thread into your mouth and wet it with your saliva. This will stiffen the thread and make it easier to push through the eye of the needle. Tie the knot near the end of the long piece of thread. Then, insert the needle into the canvas on the right (front) side about 1 in (2.5 cm) from where you want to begin stitching. Then, bring the needle back out through the wrong (back) side of the fabric where you want to create the first stitch.  Make sure that you attach the waste knot in the same row that you want to start stitching. You will cut the waste knot after you stitch over the area around it, so don’t worry about it being visible.
Summary: Choose a canvas and mounting materials. Bind the edges of your canvas with masking tape. Mount the canvas in a frame to hold it taut while you work. Thread a needle with an 18 in (46 cm) length of embroidery floss. Secure the thread to the canvas with a waste knot.

Salt from your skin will corrode your razor blade, causing it to dull faster. Don't stop at simply rinsing the blade, give it a good scrubbing. Using an old toothbrush, simply scrub across the blade a few times to clean away any leftover skin and hair, before rinsing it in water again. The quickest way to wear a razor blade is to let it rust. When water causes the metal blade to oxidize, tiny particles of rust form on it. You may not be able to see them, but those particles corrode the blade, dulling it. Additionally, in hard water areas, letting the water dry onto the blade leaves behind scratchy crystals which prevent you getting a close shave.  Pat the razor dry on a towel to remove loose water droplets. Be sure you don't wipe it with the towel, because the blade will likely catch on the threads, dulling the blade.  Dip the razor into a dish of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will cause any remaining water to evaporate when it hits the air. As an added bonus, it also sanitizes the blade. You will defeat the purpose of drying your razor if you then stick it back in the humid shower or next to the sink where it will be splashed with water. Store the razor in a dry location away from either possibility or keep it in a resealable plastic bag. You can even set it in a cup with leftover beads of silicon gel - the kind that come in those little square packages - in the bottom or store it in your freezer between uses.

Q: Be sure to de-seed the tomatoes before adding them to the pot. Continue stirring constantly. Make sure that the tomatoes are thoroughly blended into the other ingredients. Measure out 1/2 a teaspoon for both the turmeric powder and red chili powder, but you can eyeball the salt. Add as much or as little salt as you like. Stir in your seasonings, and continue to cook the mixture until the tomatoes are soft. The recipe calls for about half a cup of water, but you can add a bit more or a bit less, depending on the volume of ingredients in the pan. Then, squeeze the juice from half a lemon into your mixture. The easiest way to do this is to use a hand press lemon squeezer. Boil your mixture until the water has dried out, and your ingredients have formed a thick, paste. If you don’t own one, you can simply squeeze the juice into a separate cup, remove any seeds, and then pour the juice into your pan.
A: Stir in your chopped tomato. Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Pour in the water and lemon juice.

Problem: Article: Mix 3 cups of milk, 3 tbsp. of cornstarch, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ cup (100 g.) of sugar, 2 tbsp. of butter, and a pinch of vanilla extract together in a pan. Mix the ingredients together until they've blended well. Heat the ingredients until they're reached a simmer. Then, remove them from the heat. Whisk the 4 egg yolks together until they turn pale. This should take about 1 minute. Pour the cream into the egg yolk and continue to whisk the yolks as you do this. This will heat the yolks gently without cooking them. Stir it constantly with a wooden spoon as it continues to heat up. Take care to scrape the bottom of the pan with the spoon so the custard doesn't stick. Cook until the custard thickens to the desired consistency. Do not allow the custard to boil -- this will curdle it leaving you with a lumpy mess. Wait at least five minutes for the ingredients of the custard to thicken a bit. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of berries over the custard and enjoy this rich and creamy dessert.
Summary:
Mix all the ingredients except the egg yolks together in a pan. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Whisk the egg yolks together in a medium-sized bowl. Pour the cream into the egg yolks. Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat it over medium heat. Let the custard thicken. Serve.
