Spread the shredded coconut over the bottom of a large skillet. Heat the coconut on the stove over a medium setting for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. You only need to fry the coconut long enough to cook out most of the moisture. A few strands may also begin to lightly brown around the edges, but do not allow any of the coconut to turn a deep brown. Burnt coconut will ruin both the taste and texture of the filling. Spread the sugar evenly over the coconut and toss well to combine. Continue cooking the contents of the skillet for another 3 to 4 minutes.  The sugar must be permitted to melt and mix with the coconut during this step. Watch the filling mixture carefully once you add the sugar, though. If you overcook the sugar, the filling can become too hard Sprinkle the cardamom powder and ground nutmeg over the coconut. Add the cashews and tutti frutti to the pan, as well. Stir to combine and continue heating for another 2 minutes.  You may use a mix of assorted nuts and dried fruits instead of cashews if you would prefer. A mix of chopped almonds and raisins can work very well in this recipe. Tutti frutti is a chewy confection made with candied fruits. If you are unable to find it, you can use a blend of candied fruits, instead. Blends that include candied papaya are best. Cubes of barfi, another type of chewy fruity confection, can be used instead of tutti frutti, as well. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside. Allow the filling mixture to cool slightly. The mixture does not need to drop to room temperature, but it should be cool enough to handle with your hands. If it is too warm, it could affect the consistency of the dough prematurely once you fill the buns.

Use elastic that’s between 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) and 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide. It should be about 4 inches (10 cm) long, or 1 inch (2.5 cm) more if your hair is extra thick. Your final piece of fabric should be about 8 inches (20.32 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide if you use 4 inches (10 cm) of elastic. Add 2 inches (5.1 cm) onto the length if you added 1 inch (2.5 cm) to the elastic length. There's no need to adjust the width of the fabric. Fold the longest side of a rectangular piece of fabric at about 4 inches (10 cm) from the edge in order to cut along the fold. Remember to always cut a little bit extra fabric just in case you need more to sew. Feel free to cut past your initial measurements. Oftentimes you can take fabric in, but you can’t take it out once it’s cut.

It is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, so keep a close eye on your plants in the summer for signs of withering, yellowing, or dry soil. For best results, water your plants in the morning. Be careful not to overwater the plants, as they are susceptible to root rot. To avoid this, you can plant rhubarb on a hillside or on raised beds. Because a rhubarb crop can take several years to become established, you might want to grow a couple of plants from a crown while your seeds grow, mature, and become harvestable. Areas that grow rhubarb annually tend to have severely hot summer temperatures. Make sure to harvest your rhubarb in the late spring before the heat has a chance to kill the crop.

One-sentence summary -- Water your plants regularly. Consider growing rhubarb from a crown while you wait. Harvest your annual rhubarb between March and May.


If you'd prefer to have a blank background, for example, you should shoot with your back to a blank wall. You can also put up a sheet of paper or something similar. Your background will eventually become a key aspect of your videos if you use the same one enough. Keep this in mind when choosing your background. Naturally, you'll want it to face the area in which you (or your subject) will sit.  If you're using a tripod, this is a relatively easy step. Otherwise, set up a pile of books or a small shelf for your camera to rest on. You'll also want to situate your microphone during this time. You may have to play around with your camera's zoom level and your microphone's location in order to keep the microphone out of your shot. If you're filming with a smartphone, camcorder, or webcam, refrain from zooming in. Doing so constitutes using a "digital zoom" (as opposed to the optical zoom used by DSLR cameras) that distorts the video quality. Remember, you'll want three lights in different locations--one behind the camera, one to your left, and one to your right--for optimal visuals. While this is a good guideline, every room is going to mandate different lighting. You'll need to experiment a bit before you find the sweet spot. This rule dictates that, given a set of three-by-three lines dividing the frame into ninths, the subject of your shot will fall somewhere on intersecting lines. This essentially means that you don't want to center yourself in your camera's frame--instead, sit a little bit to the left or right.  If you have a picture or something similar on the wall behind you, try sitting opposite of and below it for your shot. Most smartphones have a camera-related option that displays a three-by-three grid of lines on the screen while filming. Background noise is a huge detractor from the quality of your content. Depending on your preferences, this process will vary. Once you've completed your shooting and editing, you're ready to upload your video to YouTube!  If you're trying to produce dynamic (e.g., quick and engaging) content, consider cutting out any awkward silences or pauses in conversation. Most video-editing programs come with a "noise-cancelling" feature included. You can use this to lower the overall background noise in your video. This is also a good point for you to add music or other effects.
