Buying your chiles at farmer’s markets or produce stands will allow you to not only support your local economy, but also to ensure you’re getting the freshest and greenest peppers. Some online suppliers of hatch chile peppers include Frieda’s, Bristol Farms, and Melissa’s World Variety Produce. Green hatch chile peppers are the freshest and thus are the best to use for cooking. Look for fresh peppers at farmer’s markets and produce stands and look for the greenest peppers when you go to buy them.  Look for chile peppers with an even color, as well.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid washing your hair every day. Use shampoo on the the roots and scalp. Use conditioner on the ends of your hair. Consider using a deep conditioning hair mask. Dry your hair using a soft towel. Air dry your hair and use a hair dryer sparingly. Avoid heat styling and use heat-protection sprays when you do. Consider following up with some hair oils or smoothing hair products.

Answer: This can strip your hair of its natural oils. Without those oils, your hair will become dry, brittle, and more prone to damage. Instead, consider washing your hair twice a week.  To help keep your hair fresh in between washes, use a dry shampoo. This won't completely replace washing, but it will help manage that oily look and feel on the days you don't wash. If you must wash your hair more often, then wash it every other day. These are the oiliest parts of your hair, and need the most cleaning. Gently massage the shampoo into your scalp and the roots of your hair using your fingers. Try to use little to no shampoo on the ends of your hair. This is the driest part of your hair and needs the most moisture, which conditioner provides. Apply the conditioner to the ends of your hair first and gently work your way up towards your head. You should use little to no conditioner on your scalp and roots. These sorts of masks are similar to conditioner, except that they give your hair even more moisture and nutrients. Because they are so rich, you do not need to use them every time you wash your hair. A few times a month is enough. You can use a homemade mask or a store-bought mask.  If you wish to use a store-bought mask, look for something that contains Argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a shower cap. Leave the hair mask on for the recommended time (usually 20 to 30 minutes), then rinse it off, followed by your usual hair washing routine. You can use this mask weekly or twice a month, depending on your hair type. Do not leave the mask longer than for the recommended time on the label. You can also make your own deep conditioning mask using honey or yogurt. Because these sorts of masks are made from natural ingredients, they do not stay fresh for very long and should be used as soon as they are made. Bend forward and cover your hair with the towel. Gently squeeze out the excessive water. Do not rub your hair with the towel, as this can cause your hair to become frizzy or torn.  Consider using a microfiber towel. These towels are softer than the typical cotton towel, so they cause less hair-damaging friction. Simply wrap your hair up in a microfiber towel and let the towel soak up the excess moisture.  If you don't have a microfiber towel, even a clean t-shirt will work. This is still more gentle than a typical cotton towel. While it is best to let your hair dry on its own, it is possible to use a hair dryer without damaging it. Let your hair start to dry naturally on its own. When it is about 70%  to 80%  dry, you may use a hair dryer on your hair. Be sure to keep it 6 inches (15.25 centimeters) away from your hair, and use the lowest setting possible. Too much heat from a hair dryer can damage your hair. If you must use your blow dryer, always apply a heat protectant product beforehand to help prevent further damage to your locks. Curling irons and hair straighteners might be tempting to use, especially if your hair is frizzy. While they may help tame the frizz, they can also damage your hair even further. Because of this, you should avoid heat styling whenever possible. If you must curl or straighten your hair, then use heat protecting creams and sprays. Simply apply them to your hair before using a curling iron or hair straightener. Make sure that you are using a product intended for dry or damaged hair. These products will include a moisturizing or nourishing ingredient, such as Argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter. Simply apply a small amount of product to your palm, and then rub the product through your hair, focusing mostly on the ends. Your scalp and roots should receive little to no product.

Answer: To make a fizzing potion, you’ll need several glass jars or vials of various sizes. You’ll also need liquid dishwashing soap, white vinegar, baking soda, a spoon, food coloring, glitter, and other mix-in options for your potions. Have the kids make their potions on a large tray, like a baking sheet, so that the fizz will be contained easily.  For a more authentic potion-making session, transfer your ingredients into plain glass jars and create labels for them with creative alternative names. For example, you could put the dishwashing soap into a glass vial and label it “enchanted syrup.” If you don’t have liquid dishwashing soap, you could also use shavings of bar soap for the same effect. It’s a good idea to wear clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty when making potions, just in case something splashes onto you!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Heat up the oil or butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Cook the garlic in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce the heat to a simmer. Mix the flour and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in another dish. Add the broth to the saucepan once the wine has almost evaporated. Slowly stir in the butter/flour mixture. Add any seasonings and let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes. Serve over pasta, chicken, or shellfish.

Answer:
While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add any mushrooms and onions as well, along with a tablespoon of butter. Cook another 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent (slightly see-through) Use a wooden spoon to stir and scrape up any bits of caramelized onion from the bottom of the pan. The heat should be on medium-low. This is the "reduction" phase. Use you fingers to lightly mix the flour into the butter. Set this aside. There should only be a little bit of wine remaining -- roughly a fourth. Add the broth and bring the liquid back to a simmer. It can help to preheat the broth in a microwave before adding it. Add the butter a little bit at a time, stirring the whole time with a spoon. The longer it simmers, the thicker the sauce will become. The sauce is incredibly versatile, and goes well with vegetables and white meats or fish. If you want to add shellfish, like shrimp or clams, add them with the garlic to cook with the sauce.
