INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A brined turkey is one that is kept in a large bucket or cooler for around 12 hours with a mixture of water, salt, broth, honey, and other additives. It's a great way to ensure that your turkey stays incredibly moist, and no basting required! You still have to cook the turkey as normal, and using a foil tent is a good idea. Some people choose to use wood chips on the bottom of the pan to give it a roasted hickory taste. If this sounds interesting, check out the article!

SUMMARY: Know that you don't need basting for a brined turkey.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To be sanitary, scoop the dead crab up along with the sand it was buried in. Dispose of the crab and the sand in one swoop. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap after handling a dead crab. If you have no qualms about trashing your deceased crustacean, you can simply place the carcass into a standard waste bin and put it out for garbage collection. Put the body into a Ziploc bag, lay it carefully into the trash, and let it be. If you can't bear the thought of throwing out your crustacean friend, consider burying him beneath a foot of soil. This is a very personal decision, and you need to do what you must to feel okay about the situation. Make sure that you bury him deep enough that other animals—dogs, cats, raccoons, etc.—cannot dig up the body. Feel free to bury the dead crab along with the sand from his cage or tank. The sand may be contaminated, and burying is a great way to safely dispose of it. The flush may seem like a quick and easy solution, but it is not a sanitary choice. There's a chance that a rotting carcass will contaminate the water supply. Bury or trash your dead hermit crab instead. If you want to replace your departed hermit crab, clean the tank before you introduce your new pet. Clear away any sand that may have been contaminated by a rotting dead crab; clean the sides of the tank; replace any water.

SUMMARY: Dig up a buried crab and dispose of it if you smell a rotting-fish odor. Throw your dead crab out with the garbage. Bury your dead crab. Do not flush your dead crab down the toilet. Prepare the tank for a new crab.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eye contact is fundamental to flirting and attraction. The eyes truly are the windows to the soul, so let him see yours. If you can’t look him in the eye, he’ll probably assume that you’re not interested in getting to know him.  Though some eye contact is good, don’t hold his gaze for too long. There’s a fine line between looking and staring. Generally, women show they’re attracted by lifting their eyebrows, making eye contact, tilting their heads down and to one side, and then looking away. This is possibly the easiest way to let a guy know you like him. When you smile at a guy, you appear open and friendly. That lets him know you’re approachable, and someone he can be himself with.  The best smile is a genuine smile. People can read when a smile is fake, so just be natural! If you've got great teeth or cute dimples, smiling helps show them off. This isn’t always appropriate in the workplace, so be careful with this step. Some types of touch are commonplace in any environment, but some would feel uncomfortable in a workplace. There are three levels of flirtatious touch.  A friendly touch happens in almost all working environments and can be a simple handshake or tap on the shoulder. "Plausible deniability touch" is more personal and includes putting an arm around someone’s shoulder or giving them a hug. It could seem out of place in a fast-paced kitchen, but could come off as caring after a difficult office meeting. Touching someone’s face is considered “going nuclear” in terms of touch. There are few work situations in which you’d likely touch a coworker’s face. However, if he has an eyelash on his cheek, that could be a perfect opportunity to gently and flirtatiously remove it for him. Everyone likes a little flattery now an then. Point out something you like or appreciate about him. It’s best not to only focus on his appearance, though. Think of things he did that you thought were cool, or an accomplishment he’s proud of.  Let him know you're always happy to see him. His personality makes the long days much more fun. Compliment something he did well, such as giving aa great presentation or paying attention to detail. This will show you've been noticing him. Studies have shown that women are the most successful at flirting when they’re direct. If you’re not getting any response from your crush, it may be that he simply isn’t getting the message, and you need to be more obvious.  Being direct has its limits. If you feel you’re sending all the right cues and not getting anything back, he may be trying to politely let you know he’s not interested. If you fear this may be the case, just continue to be your usual charming self, and see if he is inspired to make a move himself. You can be direct without being demanding. Say, "I'd love to get together sometime," instead of, "Will you get a drink with me?" Flirting via phone or social media can be either more discreet or more public, depending on how you do it. If you send a flirty text here or there, chances are no one else will find out. But nosy coworkers will notice if you’ve liked every one of his Facebook pictures.  Always be extra careful when flirting digitally. For example, did you click “reply” or “reply all”? Avoid anything that’s inappropriate for work. It’s okay to ask him out out for cocktails after a long work day. Sending suggestive pictures is not.

SUMMARY: Make eye contact. Smile. Touch him. Compliment him. Be direct. Flirt digitally.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Creatine powder usually comes in a large plastic container with a scoop inside for measuring out the correct dosage. Go to a nutrition store or health food store and select a powder to use.  Some creatine comes in pure form, and other powders are mixed with sugar so you can create a sweet energy drink. Avoid liquid creatine. Creatine begins degrading the moment it is mixed with water, so packaged liquid creatine is actually creatine waste. Manufacturers of such products are pulling a fast one on consumers. Creatine has been tested in multiple studies and is considered safe to use, but since it is a supplement, it has not been formally approved by the FDA. Check with your doctor if you're taking medication or have a condition that might be affected by taking a supplement. Creatine manufacturers recommend starting out with a high dosage of creatine and gradually waning to a "maintenance" dose to maintain creatine levels in your body. It is also common to forego the loading period and base your dosage on body weight.  Loading is said to be safe for the body and help the consumer see results - bigger, stronger muscles - in just a few days. Creatine may affect insulin levels, so if you have a condition related to high or low blood sugar, use caution when taking high doses. You may want to consider the more moderate body weight-based method. It doesn't matter when you take your creatine; whether you consume it in the morning or at night, it will have the same effect on your body. However, for best results, consume it at the same time each day so that your body has time to process one dose before you consume the next one.  Some people like to take creatine right before a workout, but its effects aren't instant, so it doesn't actually provide an immediate energy boost for weight-lifting and other exercises. If you want to take creatine on the go, bring a separate water bottle and store the creatine dry. If you premix it, the creatine will degrade.

SUMMARY:
Choose a creatine powder. Decide whether to "load" or base your dosage on your body weight. Take creatine at the same time every day.
