The quality of your ingredients can affect the quality of your cheese sauce. Start with a sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or in a block. If the cheese comes in a block, use a grater to make 2 cups of shredded cheese.  You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses such as Gouda, or Swiss cheese. To spice up the basic sauce, add salsa, hot sauce, beer, or wine for a little extra flavor. In a saucepan over medium heat, slowly heat the butter for your cheese sauce. Keep an eye on the butter as it melts. You don’t want the butter to brown or turn a dark, burnt color, as this will change the flavor of your sauce. Slowly add the flour to the butter, blending evenly with a whisk. Then, add flour and mix until flour is completely blended with butter. Allow the mixture to cook for several minutes, until it just begins to change color slightly.  Be careful not to burn the mixture, as it will make your cheese sauce taste burnt. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture gets thick. Try to avoid lumps in the mixture. Pouring the milk slowly and stirring constantly will help you avoid lumps. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, or other spices such as dried rosemary or thyme. Get creative and amp up the flavor of your cheese sauce. Start with 1 teaspoon of your chosen spice. You can adjust the sauce to taste once you add in the cheese. Use caution when adding salt. Too much salt is difficult to remove, and many cheeses have a high salt content already. The sauce may also have salt in it already if you used salted butter. Removing the sauce from the heat before you add the shredded cheese will prevent the sauce from separating or curdling. Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time. Stir the sauce with a spoon and allow the cheese to melt each time before adding more cheese. The cheese sauce may harden as it cools, so serve it right away, drizzled over chips, on a baked potato, or over steamed vegetables. It should keep for up to three days. Don’t reheat leftover sauce over high heat, or reboil it. This will cause it to become stringy or separate. Reheat any leftover sauce on low heat, stirring it constantly until it is ready to serve.

Summary: Gather your ingredients. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of flour. Add 3 cups of milk. Add 1 teaspoon spices. Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese. Serve immediately. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.


When gallbladder digestive fluid hardens into deposits, it can create gallstones. These deposits can range in size from the size of a grain of sand to a large golf ball. You will notice a yellowish tint to the skin or the whites of your eyes and white or chalky stools. Jaundice usually occurs when gallstones block the bile duct, causing a backup of bile into the liver. The bile may begin leaking into your bloodstream. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder.  It can be caused by gallstones, tumors, or other gallbladder problems. These attacks often result in severe pain that can generally occur along the right side of the body or between the shoulder blades. This pain is often accompanied by nausea and other stomach discomfort.  A buildup of too much bile in the gallbladder can cause gallbladder attacks. Different people experience gallbladder attacks differently. Although pain typically is on the right side, or between the shoulder blades, it may also feel like low back pain, cramps, or the like. Large or fatty meals can trigger a gallbladder attack. The attacks often occur in the evening, within hours of eating. Gallbladder attacks are usually a symptom indicating that something else is wrong with the gallbladder. If gallbladder function is compromised and the gallbladder doesn't empty as quickly as it should, a gallbladder attack may occur.

Summary: Learn about gallstones. Watch for signs of jaundice. Identify symptoms of Cholecystitis. Know that diet affects your gallbladder.


There are different materials that you can buy to strap and support your elbow. Either trainer’s tape or kinesiology tape or tubular bandages can help limit your range of motion that is causing you discomfort, reduce stress on the injured tissue, and may allow more blood to flow to the injured area.  Trainer’s and kinesiology tape are often best for muscle injuries. The tape expands when you move, making the treatment comfortable and practical if you have an active lifestyle or continue to exercise.  If you have sensitive skin, consider trying quick release medical tape, which combines the strength of trainer’s and kinesiology tapes with less chance of irritating the skin during wear or removal.  Tubular medical bandages are wrapped around the affected area and then affixed with tape or a small fastener. This might also be a good option if you have sensitive skin. Tubular bandages are an especially good option for wrapping joints or even to cover tape.  You can purchase trainer’s and kinesiology tape and bandages at many pharmacies, medical supply stores, and sports stores. Some larger retailers may also carry it. Consider trying to strap your elbow with duct tape, which is as supportive as trainer’s or kinesiology tape.  Some professionals may recommend using black tape, as it can adhere better to sweaty skin. Purchase bandages to wrap, strap, and support your elbow. Bandages will support your elbow and they may also help to reduce any swelling you have.  You can use most types of medical wrap bandages at pharmacies, medical supply stores, and even some sports stores. Make sure to buy a bandage that is long enough to wrap your elbow enough to support and immobilize it. You will need to purchase medical tape or pins to keep the bandage in place. Prepare your arm skin for taping or bandaging by washing and shaving it, if necessary. This can not only help remove dirt and debris, make the tape stick more effectively, but also may prevent any discomfort when you remove the tape or bandage.  Wash away any oils, sweat or dirt that may be on your skin with a gentle cleanser and warm water. This can minimize the risk that the tape or bandage doesn’t adhere properly to your arm.  Any type of mild soap can effectively clean your arm. Make sure to rinse or wipe off all of the soap. If you have chosen not to use an underwrap (see next step) or have a lot of hair on your arm, you may want to shave your arm.  Shave with care to prevent cutting your skin and causing injury. If you prefer not to place the tape or bandage against your skin, place an underwrap between the tape and your skin. If you use an underwrap, be aware that it is not as effective as using tape only.  You do not have to use an underwrap or skin adhesives with tape or bandages.  Spray the skin adhesive and or apply the underwrap to the areas of your arm you plan to wrap.  You can buy underwrap and skin adhesive at most pharmacies, medical supply stores and some sports stores. You may need to cut the tape before you wrap your elbow depending on whether you bought strips or a round of tape. Pre-cutting the tape can help ensure you use the right amount and prevent you from wasting any tape.  Cut pieces of your tape to approximately the length of your forearm. You may also want some smaller pieces.  Rounding the edges of the tape can make it easier to apply.  If your tape has backing, remove it before application.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with strapping options. Buy bandages for your elbow. Get your skin ready for taping or bandaging. Protect your skin before taping or bandaging. Cut the tape for application.
