In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using a stovetop kettle, electric teapot, or microwave, heat up 2 cups (470 ml) of water. The water does not need to be boiling hot; however, the hotter the water is, the better your concentrated “decoder ink” will work. Place 10-15 cabbage leaves in a large bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let the leaves soak for a full hour as the water cools. You should see the pigment of the cabbage bleeding into the water over time. For the best results, all of the leaves should be submerged in the water. After the water has cooled, use kitchen tongs or a colander to separate the leaves from the juice. Store your red cabbage “decoding ink” in the freezer. If you let cabbage juice sit in the fridge, it will rot and smell awful. Dip a sponge or paintbrush into the bowl of red cabbage juice and wash the liquid evenly over the paper that contains your message. As you coat the paper, your letters will appear in a greenish-blue color on the page. The letters appear this color because red cabbage juice works as a pH indicator and detects the basic baking soda. If the message had been written with lemon juice, which is an acid, the letters would have appeared pink instead of greenish-blue.
Summary: Boil 2 cups (470 ml) of water. Soak red cabbage leaves in the hot water. Strain out the cabbage leaves. Dab or wash the red cabbage juice over the page. Read the message that appears in blue letters.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don’t get too obsessive, but taking a glance at their social media pages can tell you a lot about who they’re talking to and where they’re going. You might be able to see who they’ve become friends with recently or if they’re liking a lot of posts from a particular person. To avoid torturing yourself, try putting a limit on how often you’ll look at their social media, like once a day instead of once every hour. While rumors aren’t always true or good sources of information, sometimes they are. Take each rumor with a grain of salt, but if the source is a trustworthy person, it might be worthwhile to listen. For example, if you hear from three different people that your crush was holding hands with someone at the movies, that’s a clear sign that they are into someone else. Your friends may be able to see your situation with your crush more clearly than you can. Ask them for their opinions and to keep their eyes open when they’re around your crush so they can clue you in to what’s going on. You might get news you don’t want from one of your friends. If this happens, don’t get mad at your friend. It’s okay to be upset, but remember that your friend didn’t do anything to you. This works best if you know your crush’s friends and can have a conversation with them without it seeming too weird. Keep in mind that this person may tell your crush that you were asking about them, but it could also give you some important insider information. For example, try saying something like this to your crush’s friend: “Hey Ryan, I noticed that Jade has been spending a lot of time with Ben. Is there something going on there?” directly if they like someone. This can be a little risky, but if you feel that your crush has their eyes on someone else, it might be worth it to find out for sure so you can move on with your own life. Try to phrase the question in a non-confrontational way and make it seem like you’re just generally curious about it. For example, you could say something like, “Hey Max, I was wondering if you were interested in Kylie. I noticed you guys have been spending a lot of time together.” If they ask why you want to know, say, “Oh, I was just curious.”
Summary:
Check out their social media to see what they’re up to. Listen to rumors you hear about your crush and their love life. Get input from your friends about the situation. Talk to your crush’s friend discreetly to see if they know any information. Ask your crush
