Q: Boil 1 cup of water, 6 tbsp. of butter, 1 tbsp. of granulated sugar, 1 tbsp. of brown sugar, and 1/8 tsp. of salt together in a saucepan. Stir the ingredients until they are thoroughly incorporated. The dough should form a ball. This will slightly thicken the ingredients. Add all four eggs to the ingredients, one at a time, waiting for one egg to be completely incorporated before adding the next egg to the mixture. When you're finished, the mixture should be nice and smooth. This will give the funnel cake the perfect thickness. Wait at least one minute for the oil to heat up. You can swirl the dough, criss cross it, or just create a free-form pattern. Make the funnel cake pattern about ten inches wide. You can repeat this process with the excess batter later. Cook the first side for 3-4 minutes until it's brown and then use a spatula to flip it over to the other side. Cook the other side until it's brown too -- this should take at least another minute. Use a spatula to move the dough onto a plate covered with a paper towel and wait at least one minute for the excess oil to drain onto the paper towel. Add as much sugar as you'd like. Enjoy this tasty extra sweet funnel cake while it's hot.
A: Boil the water, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add the flour to the saucepan. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool for 3-4 minutes. Set the mixer to the lowest speed and add the eggs one at a time. Put the dough in a piping bad with a number 12 tip. Heat 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of vegetable oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer. Pipe the dough into the oil. Cook the dough until it's brown. Remove the cake from the oil and drain it. Sprinkle the top of the dough with confectioner's sugar. Serve.

Q: White coals spread over an even layer are the best for grilling fish.  Brush the oil over each side of the bass fillets.
A: Prepare charcoal about 25 to 30 minutes before you plan to grill. Rinse fish with cool, running water and pat it dry. Empty 1 to 2 tablespoons (.01 - .03 L) olive oil into a small bowl. Dust the sea bass with salt, pepper and other preferred herbs and spices to taste. Grill fish for 3 minutes on each side or until the fillets are opaque.

Q: See below under "Things You'll Need" as well as above.  The label should simply state "Bunny Brownies". You might like to add "from XX to XX" and date it (for example, Easter 2012) to help the recipient know how old the ingredients are if they stuff it at the back of the pantry! Add the instructions to the jar on a tag or card (simply use the relevant parts of the instructions in the next section).
A: Assemble both the ingredients and supplies needed. Pour the M&Ms into the jar. Label and add instructions.

Q: At times your teen may be difficult to handle, but it's important to remember that they are dealing with a lot. Their hormones and body are changing, which can cause mood swings. They are also trying to more fully develop their identity, and may be dealing with pressures from school or their friends. When disciplining your teen, it's key to consider the context.  Have they been rude and moody lately? Try to figure out if something outside the house is bothering them. Have you noticed their best friend doesn't stop by as often? Consider that your teen might be going through a stressful time and try to cut them a little slack. Are their grades slipping? Take a few days to watch their habits. Teens need a lot of sleep, so maybe you need to help them get more rest so they can better concentrate. Before deciding on discipline, consider all of the components of the situation. Being empathetic means that you are thinking about, or sensitive to, what someone else is feeling or thinking. When disciplining your teen, try to place yourself in their shoes. When choosing the right course of action, take their emotions into consideration.  If your son or daughter reacts badly to not being allowed to go on a road trip with friends, try to think about what they are feeling. They are likely worried about being teased, or are maybe suffering from fear of missing out. You don't need to back down on the rules you've set, but you can offer compassion. Try saying, "I imagine you're feeling pretty frustrated that you won't be going with your friends. Is there something else fun that you and I could do this weekend instead?" Dealing with a teen can be difficult. You might feel stressed, tired, and overwhelmed. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Maybe you have a trusted family member who can offer some advice on how to relate to your teen.  Try talking to other parents. It's useful to know what your son or daughter's friends are allowed to do. You can try asking their parents about curfew, allowance, etc. to get an idea of the types of policies you want to set. Your teen's doctor can be a great resource, too. They can ensure that your son or daughter stays physically and emotionally healthy. At regular check ups, they can also rule out any medical problems and offer up outside resources.
A:
Consider the situation. Use empathy. Ask for advice.
