Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cook your meat. Discard the grease or fat. Add the vegetables and beef broth. Thicken your pie filling (optional).

Answer: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 cups ground beef and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Season with thyme, cloves, chopped garlic (if desired) and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring to crumble the meat and mix in the spices, until the meat is evenly browned. If you'd like a more flavourful pie, you can also use a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg as seasoning. Once your meat is cooked through, use a wooden spoon or spatula to push your meat to one side of the pan and tilt the pan away, letting the grease pool on the other side. Spoon it grease out, or carefully tilt your pan over a grease safe container to dispose of it. Place your cooled grease into a sealed non-recyclable container and discard it into your regular trash can.  Do not dump grease into the kitchen sink or toilet bowl or even use hot water to wash it down the drain. This allows grease to get into the sewage system or harden in your pipes. Be careful whenever handling hot grease. Chop 1 potato into small pieces and add it to the skillet with 1 1/4 cup beef broth to start. Pour in 1 1/2 cup carrots and peas. The beef broth will keep your filling moist once the grease has been drained out.  You can peel your potato if desired. If you want something different, try using a sweet potato instead. You can also add more or less beef broth as needed, but don't let your filling get too soupy. You may need to thicken your filling if it gets too runny. This can be done in a number of ways. Here are some things to consider:  Mix two tsp. of flour with 1/4 cup cold water or 1 tbsp. cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water before stirring it into your mixture Thicken with flour. For each cup of filling, use about 2 tbsp. of flour. Add the flour in increments of 1 tbsp. Add the flour slowly and stir in each addition. This will help prevent lumps from forming in your filling. Cook and stir for 1 additional minute until your sauce is thickened and bubbly. Thicken with cornstarch. For each cup of sauce, use 1 tbsp. of cornstarch. Add the cornstarch in increments of 1 tbsp. and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add 2 minutes to your cooking time for cornstarch.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a ball. Find a site. Gather some friends.

Answer: It should be a good-sized inflatable ball. A kickball, volleyball or a soccer ball is perfect for this game though both have their faults. A kickball is soft and bounces well, but it is harder to hit and is almost too bouncy. A soccer ball is perfect, except that it can hurt if hit too hard. A smaller ball will work if nothing else is available, but be careful what size ball you choose. Too large, and it complicates things. Too small, and it makes the game harder, if not impossible. Choose an enclosed space that is clear of debris. It could be a room clear of furniture or a squash court. It must be as level as possible, as inclines will make the game harder. The game is intended to be for a large group, hopefully for five people or more. There should be no more than 30 people. Obviously, the number of people you can have is limited by your playing space.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider using your own vehicle instead of renting a moving truck. Purchase a portable storage container to move your belongings. Ship your belongings on a bus or a train. Get your friends or family to help you move for free.

Answer: If you don't have a lot of stuff to move or have a vehicle with a lot of storage, consider moving your things in your own vehicle. Evaluate how many things you have to move and determine how many trips it would take in your car or truck. You can eliminate having to transport your belongings yourself with a portable storage container. These services drop off a container in front of your current address that you can fill up with your belongings. They will then transport everything that to your new address, where you can unpack it yourself. This saves money on having to transport your belongings. Some bus and train services also transport goods from place to place. Companies like Amtrak and Greyhound have services that transport belongings on their buses and trains. Call their customer service number or look on their website and find out their shipping locations. If one is near your new apartment or house, you can use them to ship your belongings. One drawback is that you may have to go to the bus or train station to pick up your belongings. Friends and family may help you move, and you won't have to pay them anything. Call up your contacts and ask them if they would be willing to help you move. You can also post something on social media and see who responds. You can thank your friends or family for their help by taking them out to eat or getting them a gift.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Accept your child for who they are. Describe your child using positive words. Teach your teen their voice matters. Help your teen express feelings.

Answer:
The most important thing you can do as you raise your introverted teen is to accept them as they are. Don’t try to make them become extroverts or get them to be more outgoing. Accept their personality for what it is. This will help them develop a better sense of self.  It is also important to validate your teen, so make sure that you tell your teen that it is normal to be introverted. For example, you might say something like, “Being an introvert is totally normal. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert.” According to scientific studies, extroverts and introverts have different brain chemistries, which means their brains are hardwired differently. This means they are naturally and biologically made to be an introvert. People may use negative or unflattering words to describe your child. You can rephrase these descriptions into something positive. This helps your child refrain from adopting negative labels and descriptions for themselves and instead create a healthy, positive image.  You should also use positive words in your own mind when thinking about your child. For example, if someone says your child is “standoffish,” you can say “reserved” or “careful.” If someone calls your child “timid,” you may say “quiet” or “contemplating.” Many times, introverted teens don’t feel like they have a voice or the ability to speak up. This means they may let people bully them or run over them. They also may not speak their mind when they do have an opinion. Teach your teen that their voice is important.  If your teen is being bullied, help them learn how to speak to a trusted adult or to address the issue. You and your child may be able to come up with a phrase that can work, like, “Stop treating me this way” or “Do not speak to me like that.” When your child speaks, listen to them. Ask questions and encourage them to talk to you. Make sure they know that you value their opinions and ideas. Teaching your child to be more assertive may also help. Introverted teens may have trouble expressing their feelings or talking about what they are thinking. Because they focus on their inner self and keep things internalized, they may have trouble figuring out how to communicate their feelings. Help your child learn how to express their feelings.  Create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their feelings. Don’t make them feel embarrassed or wrong for their feelings. If your teen doesn’t want to share feelings or ideas verbally with you, try getting them to express themselves in other ways. Get them to write in a journal, create art, or play music to express their feelings. You may also encourage individual sports, like boxing or martial arts, to help them release frustration.
