Spend an extra two minutes brushing your teeth. You'll need this extra time to get alcohol residue and alcohol-soaked food out of your mouth. Do not neglect flossing after a night of drinking. Food particles, which are diluted with alcohol, often get stuck between your teeth. This can contribute to alcohol breath even after you've brushed your teeth thoroughly. Once you've brushed and flossed, make sure to gargle and rinse with a good mouth wash. Mouth washes are designed to eliminate bad breath and tend to have a minty scent that will cover alcohol breath. Gargle for the recommended time listed on the bottle, usually around 30 seconds, and then spit into the sink and rinse with water. Alcohol does not just affect your breath.

Locate the top part of the fruit, which is the woody stem. The skin pieces should open around it. To peel the skin, grab the pieces at the opening and peel them off like you would with a banana, leaving only the white, edible core. You can also quarter the fruit before peeling off the skin. Either way works as well as the other. Place the fruit on your cutting board and find your knife. First, cut the fruit in half vertically. Turn the halves so they’re flat on the cutting board. Cut horizontally across each one to separate the dragon fruit into 4 pieces. Take each section of the fruit and reduce it further. It’s best to chop them into small cubes. The pieces don’t have to be even, but cubes look nice and are easy to eat with a fork or toss into a blender.

One-sentence summary -- Peel the skin off the dragon fruit. Cut the fruit into 4 quarters. Chop the fruit into bite-size pieces.

Q: To cook the pancakes, you’ll need a large, nonstick skillet. Preheat the pan on the stovetop over medium heat for approximately 5 to 7 minutes. If you prefer, you can use a griddle to cook the pancakes. While the skillet is heating, it’s important to grease it so the pancakes won’t stick. Lightly brush the interior of the pan with melted butter to grease it. Be careful not to use too much butter on the skillet, or you may end up with greasy pancakes. Once the skillet is lightly greased and heated, pour the pancake batter into the pan. For each pancake, use approximately ¼ cup (60 ml) of the batter, spacing them evenly apart in the pan. Using ¼ cup (60 ml) of the batter will give you average side pancakes. If you want to make silver dollar pancakes, use ⅛ cup (30 ml) or less. After you’ve poured the batter into the pan, allow each pancake to cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. You’ll know that they’re ready to turn when there are bubbles on the tops and the edges are dry and firm. Keep an eye on the pancakes as they’re cooking because they can burn easily. When the pancakes are finished cooking on the first side, use a large, wide spatula to carefully turn them over. Let them cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are set and the pancakes are completely cooked through.  Repeat the process of adding the batter and cooking the pancakes until you’ve used up all of the batter. If you want keep the pancakes warm as you finish preparing breakfast, place the cooked pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Set the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95 degrees Celsius), and leave the pancakes inside for up to 30 minutes.
A: Heat a nonstick skillet. Grease the skillet lightly with butter. Add the batter into the pan in small amounts. Cook the pancakes for several minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another few minutes.

Problem: Article: Don’t wait until the day you need to be somewhere. Taking extra time to familiarize yourself with what to expect will ensure your trip is smooth and stress-free as possible. Research the station and its location to you. You may need to take a bus or ride your bike there. Find out how long it will take you to arrive to your destination. Determine the price of your fare and if you’ll need to transfer. The turnstiles where you buy your ticket will be readily apparent. They accept cash, but cards are generally easier to deal with. Look for the turnstile or gate where you can buy your fare. Never get on a train without paying the fare––getting caught is incredibly expensive and can go on your record. Passes are oftentimes cheaper than buying a ticket every day. Do the math by multiplying each day you use the train by the cost of the ticket. Compare that number to the price of a week or month long pass. If you’re not sure where the boarding area is, look at a map or follow the signs.  Once you arrive at your platform, wait a safe distance from the tracks. Pay attention to where you are walking and where the train will arrive. Keep your head up and stay alert. When the train arrives, allow other passengers to disembark before you get on. Don’t stand in front of the door and expect them to walk around you; stand to the side and give them proper room to leave the train. Get all the way on; don’t let any part of you (including the straps of your bag) dangle outside of the doors. Make sure you are on the correct train by listening to the destination and route. If you’re not, get off at the next stop and reevaluate. Bring a book, download music, or play games on your phone.  Always be respectful of the people around you by using headphones and keeping your music or radio show to a respectable level. Be polite and courteous to your neighbors. Offer older people or otherwise infirm people your seat.
Summary:
Plan for your trip. Enter the station and pay the fare. Consider buying a pass. Make your way to the boarding area. Get on board. Enjoy the ride!
