Use a spatula to crumble the meat and move it around the skillet to cook it evenly. Continue cooking it until there's no pink left.  A 12 in (30 cm) skillet is the perfect size for this portion of Hamburger Helper. Be careful not to overcook the meat. Remove it from the heat as soon as there are no pink spots. Overcooked meat will be dry or rubbery when you eat it. It may also have crispy, burnt edges. If you touch the raw beef with your hands, wash your hands with warm water and soap immediately before touching anything else so you don't spread bacteria. This prevents the final dish from being too oily. Pour the grease into a container, leaving the ground beef in the skillet. You can place the container with grease in the fridge to let it harden before throwing it in the trash.  Never pour cooking grease down the drain. It builds up and will eventually clog or even damage your drain.  Use a colander if you'd like to easily drain the ground beef. Hold the colander over the container and pour the contents of the skillet into it. Then place the drained beef back into the skillet. Stir the 3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of dry macaroni noodles, 1 cup (240 ml) of water, and 2 cups (470 ml) of milk into the beef, along with all of the spices. Use the spatula to mix them together until thoroughly combined.  If there's a spice you don't like, like paprika, you can leave it out. Substitute any type of pasta like egg noodles, shells, or even gluten-free pasta for the macaroni noodles. A simmer will cook the pasta without burning the meat.  If you increase the heat on the stovetop to bring the liquid to a boil, don't forget to decrease it to low or low-medium for simmering.  A simmer has tiny, slow bubbles as opposed to the loud, rolling bubbles of a boil. Simmering occurs when the liquid is between 195 and 211 °F (91 and 99 °C). Place the lid on top of the skillet so the liquid doesn't evaporate. You need it to cook the macaroni noodles. Stir occasionally if you'd like to make sure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom.  Set a kitchen timer or use the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time. If you like your pasta more al dente or chewier, cook it for no more than 10 minutes. Use a spatula or large spoon to toss the grated cheddar cheese into the Hamburger Helper. It should start melting as you stir it.  This dish tastes best with freshly grated cheese but you can substitute pre-shredded cheese if you're in a hurry. If you don't like the sharp taste of cheddar, use a milder cheese like mozzarella or Swiss instead. This will melt the cheese on top of the noodle and beef mixture. It also gives the Hamburger Helper a chance to cool down a little bit so you don't burn your mouth when eating it. Sprinkle some parsley flakes or Italian seasoning on top of the Hamburger Helper when you serve it for a touch of green.

Q: The point is to create a focal point in your outfit and then build around that.  Hip/hop and rap looks feature items that are bold and will stand out. For bottoms, choose skinny jeans or leggings in denim or a bright color. For hip/hop fashion, jeans that are ripped are very popular. For shirts, choose a form fitted and tight graphic t-shirt in a bright color. Bright pink, orange, blue, and purple are fashionable colors in hip/hop. Tank tops in bright colors or flashy prints are also very popular. Jewel tones are featured by many hip/hop artists. You can also wear a flashy jacket. Gold or chrome leather jackets are often worn over fitted shirts or dresses. Play down other parts of your outfit to get parts of it to stand out. Chrome and jewelry with diamonds or rhinestones is key for a hip/hop look.   Many of the most popular female hip/hop artists wear large gold hoop earrings. Wear necklaces with large pendants that are covered in jewels or studs. If you choose to wear a hat, choose a hat in a bright color with studs or rhinestones. Wear designer sunglasses. Stunner shades or other styles in bright or shiny colors are key elements of a hip/hop look. Wear the right footwear. High top sneakers in bright colors in brands such as Adidas or Jordans are the most popular look in hip/hop right now.   You can also wear strappy high heels in a bright or shiny color. However, at a concert you will be standing and dancing, so flat shoes might be more practical. You are going to need a bold face and hair style in order to match your bold outfit.  Wear thick liner on the top of your lash line and bright smokey eye shadow. Wear lipstick in a bright matte color. Artists like Nicki Minaj often wear bright pink or purple matte lipstick. Use blush to wake up your look. Hair should be voluminous--in either a teased ponytail, a high bun or over-pumped hair. Brightly colored hair in pink, purple, or bleach blond is very fashionable in hip/hop.
A: Start with a bold piece. Accessorize with bold, noticeable items. Choose bold hair and makeup.

Article: If getting cozy is your goal, try layering your seating solutions with pillows and cushions intended for indoor use. Soft, natural materials feel the best to the touch, but keep in mind that you’ll need to put these away whenever it rains to avoid ruining them.  It may also be a good idea to make blankets available for those unexpectedly brisk evenings. If you decide to accessorize with items that aren’t intended for outdoor use, keep a small storage container nearby where you can stash them quickly when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Make sure the rug you get is made from a synthetic material, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. Unlike cotton and similar natural fibers, synthetics aren’t susceptible to mold and mildew. They also won’t fade when exposed to direct sunlight, meaning they’ll retain their original vibrant color season after season.  Certain moisture-resistant natural fibers like bamboo, hemp, and seagrass are resilient enough to handle heat and moisture, but they’ll still deteriorate faster than synthetic alternatives. Stretch a tape measure around the square or rectangular section of your deck closest to the center to determine what size rug will look best in your space. Make use of the blank space on the exterior wall of your home by covering it with paintings, small sculptures, or other visually-interesting mounted pieces. Outdoor wall art is a unique touch that’s guaranteed to turn heads and make your home stand out.  Place paintings and other traditional art behind glass in treated wood or stainless steel frames to prevent rotting and rusting. Hunt for pieces of architectural salvage art at your neighborhood antique store. Architectural salvage is ideal for making any drab deck more aesthetically-pleasing, as most pieces are weather-hardy and crafted for longevity. A standalone fire pit can make a charming addition to your deck, especially once fall arrives. Lay down a grid of paver stones or a heat-resistant fire mat on the surface of your deck to protect it from the heat. You can then begin shopping for a fire pit that fits your deck’s specific dimensions, as well as your own personal tastes.  Before you begin comparing various models, consult your local building codes to find out whether it’s legal to add a fire pit to a deck where you live.  To prevent potential fire-related accidents, select a nice central spot for your fire pit that’s as far away from your home itself as possible. If you would prefer something smaller in addition to or instead of a full fire pit, you could make a tabletop fire bowl.
