Q: Make it fairly fine. Drop the shredded sprouts in for exactly two minutes - no more.  Any longer, and you will have smelly, slimy mush.  You just want to make them tender, slightly wilted, but with some snap left in them. Let them drain while you do the next step. Add 1 clove minced garlic and just heat until you can smell the garlic.  Mmmmm.  Remove from heat.  Toss the sprouts in the lemon, garlic and butter mixture, just until heated through - about one minute.
A: Cut off the hard bottom and slice the brussels sprouts into shreds that resemble lettuce. Boil a cup of water with a teaspoon of salt. Remove them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and then drain, or drop them into a colander to drain, and run some cold tap water over them. Melt 1/2 stick of butter. Squeeze a lemon into the butter. Add the drained brussels sprouts, salt and pepper to taste, and turn on the heat again. Remove from heat and sprinkle with some shredded or flaked Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Q: Touching your face throughout the day is never a good idea. When you touch your face, you're transferring the oil and dirt from your hands onto your face. This can cause your makeup to smudge and cause your face to break out.
A: Don't touch your face during the day.

Q: This could be in your apartment, in a park, or in your favorite hang out spot on campus. It may be challenging, but having a serious and honest conversation with her can help to address her anger, determine the cause of her anger, and potentially resolve the issue. Let her choose the meeting spot. This will give her a level of control over the situation, which may make it easier for her to talk. It's never a bad idea to bring a peace offering with you to a potentially emotional conversation, especially if you may be in the wrong. You may bring her something small and thoughtful, like her favorite drink or item of food. Or you may bring her flowers as a sign that you know she is upset and you feel bad for what you may have done.  Having a peace offering can also make starting the conversation with her easier, as you can hand her something she might appreciate and ease your way into the discussion. Keep it casual and don't make a huge show out of it, especially if you're in public. If she's mad at you, she may not want to be put into the spotlight. If you are not sure what you have done wrong, you may want to start the conversation by asking her directly why she is upset at you. You may say, “I'm aware you're upset at me, but I'm not sure why. Can you tell me why?” Don't ask her this if you have any suspicion as to why she may be upset. Doing so will likely make her even more angry at you. If you're aware of what you've done wrong, you should make a heartfelt apology to her. Start by acknowledging what you did wrong and then go into a clear apology. For example, you may say, “I understand that you're angry at me for missing your birthday last week. I got caught up in my work and neglected your special day. I'm so sorry I did that and I promise it won't happen again.”  Once you've apologized, you should ask her, “Will you accept my apology?” If she says yes, show her your gratitude and be humble. Make amends for your mistake through action. For example, if you missed her birthday, take her out to a special dinner and ensure that you don't miss it next year.
A: Find a quiet, secluded place to talk. Bring a peace offering. Ask her directly what you have done wrong. Apologize and make amends.

Q: This works best with a mug you don’t want that isn’t stained or too personal. No one wants to receive a coffee stained mug that is labeled with your name (unless they share the same name). Put candy or some other gift, like a gift card, inside of a clean mug. Wrap a ribbon around the mug and give it as a small gift to someone from work, school, or to a friend. Maybe you received that mug that says #1 Dad twenty years ago, but you can’t bear to part with it. A coffee mug also makes a great pencil or pen holder for your desk. Enjoy the sentimental value while organizing your office space. If you have a lot of mugs that need reusing, you can store office or crafting supplies like staples and paperclips inside of them. Never use your partner’s toothbrush by accident again by using an old mug to separate toiletries. You can also store your toothbrush and toothpaste in one mug and keep things like your hairbrush and razor in another. Be sure to put the mugs in a place where they won’t be easily knocked over by a sleepy person early in the morning. Use your old mugs for something practical and decorative. You just need three mugs, an adhesive, and a piece of wood. This works especially well if the three mugs match, but it’s not definitely not necessary. Evenly space the mugs on the wood, attach them, and hang up your work wherever you’d like. You can store things like towels, keys, or whatever you want in them. Make sure the coffee mugs are secured really well before hanging the piece up, or you may accidentally end up with material for a mosaic.
A:
Use the mug as a gift holder. Use the old coffee mugs to store pencils and pens. Store your toiletries in a mug. Make a storage unit with three mugs and a piece of wood.
