Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a beurre manié. Add your beurre manié to a sauce. Create a roux. Use an alternative to butter.

Answer: Two types of thickeners using fat and flour are a beurre manié or a roux. Thickening with flour and fat give sauces and gravies a smoother texture than thickening with flour and water, and a beurre manié has a smooth, rich taste.  Mix together 4 tablespoons (32 g) each of all-purpose flour and room temperature, softened butter in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash together the flour and butter until they form a paste. Form this paste into small, tablespoon sized balls for easy use. If you don’t need to use them right away, freeze these balls in an airtight container, and bring them to room temperature before use. The sauce should be almost finished cooking, as you don’t want the beurre manié to cook for too long. Whisk it into your sauce thoroughly, and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute or two before taking it off of the heat. This will ensure the taste of your sauce is smooth, without any residual starchy flavor from the flour. A roux is an excellent way to make thick stews, gravy, gumbo, or cheese sauce. Use two tablespoons (16 g) of butter and all-purpose flour. Roux also uses an equal ratio of flour to butter. Cooking the flour in the butter will help remove the pasty taste of the flour.  Heat the butter over medium heat in a saucepan, until it’s melted. Add just a little bit of oil to the pan to keep the butter from burning. Once the butter has melted, gradually add in the flour, whisking constantly until it’s combined and smooth. At this stage, decide how dark you want your roux to be. A darker roux has a darker brown coloring and a nuttier flavor. For a dark roux, continue cooking and stirring constantly until you start to smell a nutty aroma, and your roux is a caramel color. Take your roux off the heat. Gradually whisk your roux into your sauce. Cook the sauce over medium to medium-low heat for 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally with a spoon or whisk, to give it a smooth, velvety texture. Some bubbling is fine, but do not keep the sauce at a boil. Though butter often works best, you can use a combination of other fats and flour to create a similar thickening effect.  For gravies or stews, consider using meat drippings instead of butter. If you want a vegan option, you can use a plant-based oil, like olive oil, or a premade vegan butter in place of butter.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the "delay" of your phone. Decipher which radio stations answer. Get an extra phone. Ask a friend to help. Research the program.

Answer: If you use a cell phone, it usually takes about 5 seconds or so for the call to start. Keep this information in mind and call ahead. If you find that one station never picks up your calls, but a different one will, on occasion, spend more time with the latter station.  Some radio programs are extremely popular, like morning shows. Research to see if there are any call-in contests on the weekdays or after the morning traffic. This might sound a bit far-fetched and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Purchase a pay as you go phone and only use it to call DJs.  Program your phone to have the radio station on speed dial.  As you dial the initial call on your phone, make another call on your spare phone. Lots of radio station prizes are for two tickets.  If you have a friend or partner that you were planning to take to an event, then ask if they'd be interested in helping you.  Two people have an increased chance of winning. Check the station's website and register to be a VIP, registered user, etc. Don't forget to opt in. You aren't restricted to winning on the air. More radio stations are also doing web based giveaways of the same prizes given away on the air.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Commit to going meat-less. Design your pescetarian diet. Purchase print resources. Find other pescetarians. Discuss your new diet with your family.

Answer: Typically, pescetarians follow a plant-based diet and do not consume red meat, poultry, pork or lamb.  The majority of their protein is coming from plant-based sources like beans, nuts or lentils in addition to fish and shellfish.  All other food groups — like whole grains, fruits and vegetables — are consumed on a regular basis.  A healthy diet goes beyond limiting animal products.  In addition, you want to focus on well-balanced meals, healthy cooking techniques, limiting processed foods and refined sugar and drinking adequate amounts of water each day. Pescetarian diets are also beneficial to your health.  They may help you manage or lower your cholesterol levels, and reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease. Depending on how restrictive you want your diet to be, you may chose to include or not include foods like eggs and dairy products; however, if you're transitioning from a typical, average diet, it may be easier to include dairy foods and eggs to help give you some variety.  Incorporate a variety of proteins into your pescetarian diet outside of seafood.  If you're consuming eggs and dairy products, they're an excellent source of protein. In fact, the egg has the highest biological value of all proteins. The biological value provides a measurement of how efficient the body utilizes protein consumed in the diet. In addition, don't forget about beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains! Ensure that your meals feature fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy (if you're including this) each day.  This means you have a well-balanced diet. Take a trip to your local or online book store and think about buying a few quality printed resources.  Cookbooks and magazines that feature pescetarian recipes will help motivate and excite you as your transition to this new eating pattern.  Cookbooks have a wide arrangement of recipes and are a great resource to browse through.  Plus, they generally have great photographs which can help motivate you to continue with your new eating pattern. Go beyond printed resources and find bloggers that post regularly about pescetarian recipes.  They might also have good tips on adopting this new eating pattern. Finding friends, co-workers or others who also follow a pescetarian diet can be helpful.  They'll be a great support to you as you make your new diet transition.  You can try joining online communities or forums where you can post questions, link up with other pescetarians and get helpful information from others already following this diet pattern. Take a cooking class. Many restaurants, cooking stores and private companies offer cooking classes.  Try signing up with a friend or family member for a class that focuses on seafood preparation. Transitioning to a new diet may affect more than just you.  If you're living at home with your family, your dietary changes may influence what is purchased and prepared at home.  Speak to your family members about what you'll be changing in your diet and what foods you will and will not be eating.  Make sure they fully understand what a pescetarian diet is.  If some family members want to continue eating meat or animal products, that's OK.  Discuss with them how you can accommodate both eating styles in your household.  A quick family meeting will help. Ask your family members if they'd be interesting in following a pescetarian diet along with you.  They might be interested in following a pescetarian diet a few days a week or a few specific meals during the week.  Finding a common ground may help cut down on extra food prep for a variety of different eating patterns.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn CTM (Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing) and stick to a daily routine. Cleanse your face. Apply toner. Moisturize your skin. Use eye cream.

Answer:
It's important that you follow this routine every day, because it provides your skin with the moisture and cleanliness it needs. Doing this in the morning will help kick start your day by giving you a fresh, clean face and then repeat the routine at night.   People who have more sensitive skin or dry skin should only do this once per day, as cleansing your skin too much can dry it out even more and cause it to be more irritated. If you have dry skin, try following CTM in the morning and then removing your makeup and moisturizing your face at night before you go to bed. Remember that exfoliating is also important. Exfoliate using a face scrub or an enzyme exfoliant two to three times a week for normal or oily skin, and one to two times a week for dry or sensitive skin. Buy a soft, gentle cleanser to wash your face with each day. Start by rinsing your face with warm water to help lift dirt out of your skin, and then using a cleanser to remove oil and cleanse your face. Put the cleanser on your fingertips and gently rub onto your face and neck using circular motions and working out from the center of your face. Then, rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel.  Make sure you get a cleanser suited for your skin type. When buying a cleanser there will often be information on the bottle explaining what type of skin type the cleanser is good for. You can also use natural facial cleansers that will probably be less irritating on your face. A cream cleanser is more hydrating so it may feel more refreshing on your face and can be better if you have dry skin. However, you can also use a gel cleanser if you have more oily skin or want to remove makeup. Always remove makeup before going to bed, even if you usually cleanse your face in the morning. Leaving any makeup on your face while you sleep will leave your face feeling more oily in the morning and can clog pores. You can use makeup remover or cleansing wipes to quickly remove any eye or face makeup. Take a cotton ball and pour toner over it, or dip the cotton ball into the toner and then swipe on your T zone and other affected areas. If you have oily skin, toner is great for targeting those problem areas.  If your skin is dry or sensitive, be careful when using toner so it doesn't dry out your skin even more and always test toner out on a small area to see how it affects your skin. Some toners may be stronger than others so you'll want to read the bottles and do some research on what toner is best for dry or sensitive skin. Once you have cleansed your face, you can apply moisturizer to keep your face hydrated and healthy. Moisturizers come in all different types so you should be able to find one suited for your skin. Even if you have oily skin you'll want to moisturize it-- just buy one that is lighter and specifically for oily skin. Buying a moisturizer with SPF is a great idea to prevent sun damage during the day. Because the area under your eye is the thinnest part of your skin, it lacks a lot of moisture. Pat a pea-sized amount of eye cream under your eye around the orbital bone and let the cream soak into your skin. This can also help if you have dark circles under your eyes, wrinkles, or eye puffiness.
