article: This technique works well when you need to correct an overly thin sauce near the end of cooking Mix the flour and water together in a small bowl that is separate from the sauce you are cooking.  Mix 2 tablespoons (16 g) of all-purpose flour with a ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water. A whisk works well to quickly create a flour paste that is free from lumps. You can also use a fork or a spoon to stir your water and flour together. Alternatively, you can use a small container with a tight-fitting lid to mix. Add the flour and water to the container, seal the lid, and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Add your mixture gradually, a tablespoon at a time, and stir between each addition. To ensure a smooth consistency, remove a few spoonfuls of the sauce and put them in a small bowl with the flour slurry. Stir the flour mixture and sauce together there, then add the thickened sauce mixture back into your sauce pot. When you add the flour and water, your sauce should be warm but not close to boiling. Bring the sauce to a boil. To thicken properly with flour, you must bring your liquid to a boil. Stir the sauce occasionally. This ensures that your sauce doesn’t stick to the pan. After you reduce the temperature, cook the sauce for about a minute on low heat. While it’s simmering on low, the sauce should thicken considerably. This also ensures that your sauce won't have the starchy taste of flour.  A longer cook time will help produce a thicker, richer-tasting gravy.

article: Chat with your daughter when just the two of you are together. Bring up getting a bra by asking questions not directed at her. Having an easygoing and open chat can let you know if your daughter is comfortable with getting her first bra. For example, “Emmeline, I noticed that Liv was wearing a sports bra at practice the other day. Is that something you’re interested in?” Your daughter’s answer can clue you in to if she’s ready for a bra. Let your daughter know she can ask any question about her changing body. Be honest about issues of breast health and if she needs to wear a bra. Being open to discussion about breast development with your daughter can make it easier to buy her first bra.  Answer questions simply as possible. Avoid using big words like “thelarche,” “mammogram,” or “breast tissue.” Instead, say, “You can start developing breasts until your 14, Sam. Your boobs can grow and shrink with age, weight, and if you ever have a baby.” Be honest if you don’t know the answers to questions. For example, “I’m so sorry Isabel, I don’t know the answer to that question. Why don’t we call Dr. Martina and find out? Do you have any other hard questions about your breasts?” Notice if your daughter’s friends are wearing bras, which may be a source of peer pressure for her. Take your daughter’s wish for a bra into consideration based on physical and emotional factors. It can be pretty traumatizing for a young girl to not wear a bra when her friends are. Keep in mind that your daughter may want to look like her friends when she is changing in gym class or sleepovers. After you’ve discussed the pros and cons of getting a bra, let you daughter know she can make the final decision. Support her in any decision and help her find a suitable bra she likes. Giving your daughter the decision can give her a measure of control over her body during an exciting and scary time. For example, “Hey Josephine, the decision is up to you. We can make a fun day of it and get you your first bra. But if you want to wait, that’s totally ok, too. Just let me know whenever you’re ready.” Avoid telling family and friends that your daughter is getting a bra. She may feel embarrassed if other people know she’s developing. It also lets her know that she can trust you if she has questions about her body.

article:
This should be soft enough that you can cut a slit through it with a flathead screwdriver. Get several, if you can, in case you mess up your first try. Put the bottlecap down on the table, with its top upward. Stick a flathead screwdriver through the vertical side, under the bottlecap, and through the other side. This pair of holes should be very close to the lower rim. Make the holes wide enough to fit a popsicle stick. Rotate the cap 90º. The holes will now be on the left and right. The side in front of you will have no holes in it. Push the screwdriver through in this direction to make holes at a 90º angle to the others. These holes will be halfway up the cap's sides. Leave room below and above them. These should also be wide enough to fit a popsicle stick. One popsicle stick goes through the two lowest holes, just poking out one end. A second stick goes through the middle holes, poking out equally on each sides. Now you have a † shape through the bottle cap. Keep the cap pointed the same direction. Poke the screwdriver high up on the sides, near the flat top. Make these holes small, and keep them straight over the lower stick. You can use a larger, Philips head screwdriver to make the holes round without making them wider. Take a wide rubber band. Place it over the bottle cap, above the sticks. Hold it against the top of the †. Pull the lower end over the left arm, then the right. Repeat until the rubber band is mostly tight. Pull the rubber band down over the top of the bottlecap. Take the cotton off one end of a cotton swab. Stick the swab through the top pair of holes, starting at the top of the †. Pull back on the rubber band and let go to fire.  If the rubber band doesn't pull far enough, unwrap it once from the arms. If the cotton swab won't fit (without the cotton ball end), make the hole larger with a screwdriver. Pull the rubber band back as far as it can easily go. Mark that spot on the stick with a pen. Push a thumbtack just in front of that spot. You can now keep the rubber band "locked" by stretching it over the thumbtack. To shoot, pull out the tack or pull up the rubber band and let go. The rubber band will wear out fast if you keep it locked. Unhook the band any time you aren't using the crossbow.
