A simple way to add a front panel to your shadow box is to connect a wooden picture frame that already has the glass connected to it. Choose a frame that fits the dimensions of your shadow box so it fits onto it evenly.  Remove any backing or other materials from the picture frame so that only the front wooden frame and the glass remains. You can buy new frames at craft supply stores and department stores. Look for old picture frames at thrift stores that you can upcycle for your project! Flip the picture frame over so the back is facing up. Use a power drill to attach a small hinge to the outermost edge of one of the sides of the frame near the top. Then, attach another small hinge to the outermost edge of the frame near the bottom so there are 2 hinges on the same side.  Make sure the hinges are aligned with each other and evenly spaced from the top and bottom edges of the frame. Use the small screws that come with the hinges. You can find small hinges at home improvement stores, department stores, and online. Lay the picture frame on your shadow box frame and align the hinges so they lay flat on the outer edge on the front. Use your drill to drive the screws into the shadow box frame so the hinges connect the picture frame to it.  Open and close the front panel to make sure it works and the edges are lined up evenly. You can also use a screwdriver if you don’t have access to a power drill. Use the same paint or stain that you used to paint the rest of the shadow box frame and apply a thin coat over the front panel. Allow the paint to dry completely and then add a second coat so none of the original paint or color is visible. Use as many coats as it takes to cover the panel without any of the original paint visible.

Transfer the food to a saucepan and add ¼ cup (59 ml) of water to prevent the food from scorching. Turn the heat to medium and put on a lid. Stir regularly as the food heats up. Depending on how much food you have, reheating could take about 20 minutes.  Ideal foods to reheat in this way include soups, stews, liquids, beverages, and chili. For beverages, avoid adding additional water. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil or butter to a skillet or cast iron pan. Heat the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add your food. Cook for about five minutes, and then use a spatula to flip the food. Cook for another five minutes, or until it’s heated through.  This method is ideal for noodles, pasta, rice, or other grains. You can also use this method with beans. Frying in a bit of oil will make the noodles or rice slightly crispy. Another way to reheat rice and other grains is in a pot with some extra water. The water will add moisture back to the grains, and will bring the grains back to their original consistency. Pour the grains into a pot with ½ cup (118 ml) of water or broth. Heat the grains on medium until warmed through. As the grains cook, stir them every five minutes to ensure even heating. Turning on the oven for a slice of pizza is a waste of energy, and you can actually get a crispier crust by pan frying. Heat a dry cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pizza and place a lid over the pan. Heat the pizza for three to four minutes, until it’s hot and the cheese is gooey. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil or butter to a skillet, wok, or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add your meat or stir fry and turn the heat to low. Cook and stir regularly for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warmed through.

Although Mahjong Solitaire involves careful observation and a trained eye, you will maximize your success by removing your blocks in such a sequence that will open up the most pieces for you in the future. Much like chess, you should make your moves with the next potential moves you'll make taken into consideration. All Mahjong Solitaire games involve four layers on top of one another. Early on in the game, these layered blocks should be your priority. If there are multiple potential combinations, you should choose the ones that will remove these layers. This will free up the most blocks for you later on in the game, and possibly avert a failed game towards the end. If you're playing a version of the game that involves blocks of varying scores, it's a good idea to get these high-value blocks as early as possible. If none are currently available, look for the high-value blocks that you can potentially free up with a block or two. Ultimately, your goal in removing blocks should be to open up new blocks for future removal. If you can potentially remove a pair of blocks that won't open up new pairs, you should save it for a backup. Instead, concentrate on the pairs that will maximize your possibilities in future moves. If you're playing the game with physical pieces, there won't be any concrete indication to let you know whether there are any blocks left or not. Rather than shuffle up the pieces as soon as you're not sure, take a patient eye to your pieces and look it over again. Especially if you're a beginner to the game, chances are you'll admit defeat while there are still options available to you.
