Popular marinades include a combination of onion, lemon juice and olive oil. Let the lamb soak in the marinade while in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After the lamb is done marinating, season it with spices like salt, pepper or garlic powder. Grill the cut of lamb on high for 3-4 minutes on either side. Lower the heat and cover your grill for up to 15 additional minutes to cook your leg of lamb the way you like it. Letting your leg of lamb cool after grilling will make a more flavorful meat.

Summary: Marinade the leg of lamb. Season the lamb. Grill the leg of lamb. Allow the juices to settle.


This is especially important on longer flights to prevent aches, poor circulation, and potentially dangerous conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Some airlines provide guidance on in-seat exercises you can do (such as ankle circles or arm stretches). The long mid-flight stretch on overnight flights is an excellent time to take a stroll up and down the aisle a few times.  There may be room to do stretches at the back of some airplane cabins. Before getting up and walking around, wait until your flight crew tells you it is safe to do so. Participate in the in-flight exercise video, should your flight provide one. These are designed to help improve circulation and reduce fatigue. Many airlines show in-flight movies or have a variety of radio stations that you can listen to by plugging headphones into the jack on your seat. Some flights have TV screens built into the back of each seat that display movies, TV shows, and flight information. These can be very useful for helping the time pass quickly. Check ahead with your airline to find out what in-flight entertainment options they offer. If your airline offers A.V.O.D. (Audio Video on Demand), you can pay extra to watch premium content or play games on your screen during the flight. But be careful—this can get expensive! Usually, in-flight movies don't start for some time, and the built-in music/movie selections can be quite poor. Bring a device, such as a tablet, computer, or portable DVD or Blu-ray player, with some of your favorite movies, music, podcasts, or e-books on it. You could also take a new book that you like or portable game.  Make sure to charge all your electronic devices before getting on the plane. Some airlines offer free wi-fi so that you can browse the internet on your devices during the flight. Always have a couple of recent magazines with you. Pick out some magazines at the airport before you leave. That way, you won’t be stuck reading the in-flight magazines! Other good entertainment options include crossword puzzles, sudoku, or adult coloring books. If you’re crafty or artistic, you might bring a sketch pad or a knitting project. The headphones typically available on the plane (whether for purchase or for free) are usually of poor quality. Noise-canceling headphones and in-ear headphones are great if you have them, and can help block out engine noise and chatter from other passengers. If you’re just looking to block out noise, some simple earplugs are also a good option. You can't do anything about how long the flight is taking, and it will feel even longer if you keep looking at the time. Don't check your watch regularly, and avoid looking at the in-flight map showing the current position of the plane. If you feel the urge to check the time, try distracting yourself with an entertaining activity instead.

Summary: Move around as much as possible during the flight. Go with an airline that offers in-flight entertainment. Take something to entertain yourself. Pack your own headphones. Resist the urge to watch the time during the flight.


Whenever you find yourself burned, you need to get away from the source of the burn. If you got burned by an electrical appliance, turn off the appliance and move the skin away from it. If you were burned by chemicals, get away from the spill as quickly as possible. If you got a sunburn, get out of the sun immediately. If your clothes were covered with chemicals or burned in the process, remove them as carefully as possible without hurting the wound. Do not pull clothing away from your skin if it sticks to the burned area; call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention. There are three different degrees of burns. Before you treat your burn, you need to know the difference in the burns. A first-degree burn affects only the top layer of skin, is usually red, can be painful, and is dry to the touch. A second-degree burn extends further into the under layers of skin, may look "wet" or discolored, often includes white blisters, and generally causes pain. Third-degree burns extend all the way through the skin and sometimes into surrounding tissue. They look dry or leathery, and may include black, white, brown, or yellowed skin at the burn site. They cause swelling and are extremely severe, even though they often hurt less than more minor burns because the nerve endings have been damaged.  Only continue if you know your burn is first-degree or minor second-degree. Others should not be treated with this method unless a doctor tells you it is okay. Never treat a third-degree burn, or any open wound, with aloe. The aloe does not allow the burn to dry, which makes it impossible to heal. Once you have assessed the state of your burn and removed yourself from the injurious situation, you can start to cool your wound. This helps pull the heat from the wound and calm the skin before you apply aloe. Run cold water over the burn for 10-15 minutes as soon as possible after the burn.  If you cannot reach the area with a tap or shower, soak a cloth in cold water and place it over the burn for 20 minutes. Replace the cloth as its temperature rises with another newly soaked cloth. If you're able to, bathe the burned area in cool water for at least 5 minutes. You can soak the area in a sink or bowl of cool water. Once you have cooled the wound, you need to clean it. Take some soap and rub it in your hands. Gently rub the soap over the burned area, cleaning it. Rinse the area with cool water to remove to soap suds. Pat dry with a towel. Do not rub the wound because it can cause the skin to get even more irritated or the skin to break if it is sensitive or starting to form blisters.
Summary: Get away from the source of the burn. Determine the severity of the burn. Cool your wound. Clean the wound.
