Problem: Article: Fill a water kettle and turn it on to high heat. The water should boil within a few minutes. Get out a heat-proof bowl and carefully pour enough hot water to fill the bowl halfway. Avoid pouring in too much water or it will spill over the side of the bowl when you add the Nutella. Remove the lid from the jar of Nutella and set the jar into the bowl of hot water. Ensure that water can't get into the jar. If you want to heat a small amount, you can scoop some into a small bowl. You can place this bowl of Nutella into the bowl of hot water as long as water won't come over the sides and into the Nutella. Let the Nutella sit in the hot water for about 5 minutes. Stir the Nutella with a wooden or metal spoon and remove it the jar from the water if it's melted. If not, let the Nutella sit in the hot water until it's melted. This is a gentle way of heating the Nutella because you won't actually cook or overheat it.
Summary: Bring a pot of water to boil. Pour boiling water into a bowl. Place the jar of Nutella in the hot water. Soften and stir the Nutella.

Problem: Article: In most communities, there is at least one non-profit organization that distributes donated food to those in need. If you are having trouble affording a trip to the grocery store, this can be a great way to get some basic items to stock your pantry.  Food banks are typically run by independent charitable organizations and churches in your local community, so you should be able to track one down on-line or even using the phone book. If you're having trouble finding out where the food bank is in your community this website lists many food banks around the nation, though it is not an exhaustive list. Similar services exist to help you meet your clothing needs. These clothing banks are are run by churches and other private charities, sometimes at the same site as your local food bank. If your food bank doesn't have a clothing bank and you need some clothes, the volunteers at the food bank may be able to tell you where these services are available. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers assistance to individuals and families who's income does not exceed 130 percent of the poverty line. This program, called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can make trips to the grocery store much less painful and makes cooking your own meals an even cheaper option.  To find out if you are eligible for SNAP, use their pre-screening tool, available here. In most states, you can apply for SNAP online. Links to each state's application page are available here. If you have children, you may be eligible for a federal program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), more commonly known as welfare. This is a cash assistance program that can help you make ends meet for a while.  Funds for TANF are provided to states in block grants from The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), a division of the Department of Health & Human Services. It is up to each individual state to distribute these funds. You can find information about your state's requirements and application processes by visiting the ACF's website and selecting your state. TANF benefits are available for a maximum of five years, and recipients typically must demonstrate that they are making an effort to become self-sufficient. Assistance with housing costs is also available for families who earn less than 50 percent of the median income in their area. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will pay some portion of your rent directly to your landlord if you qualify. Like TANF, Section 8 housing is administered at the state level. To find your local Public Housing Authority and apply for a HUD voucher, visit the HUD website and select your state. If you have a family, the cost of childcare can be a major burden, but may be unavoidable if you go to work or school. The Child Care and Development Fund provides assistance for working parents of children under the age of 13. Like many of the programs discussed above, this assistance is provided at the state level. To find out who to contact for information about assistance in your state, visit the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Childcare website. If you have school aged children, they may be eligible for subsidized meals at school through the USDA's National School Lunch Program(NSLP). For information about eligibility requirements and how to apply, visit their website. The NSLP website also provides other valuable information about how create low-cost healthy meals and snacks for your children.
Summary: Go to the food bank. Apply for food stamps. Apply for welfare. Apply for Section 8. Get child care assistance. Apply for free/reduced lunch.

Problem: Article: You like your friends, your friends like you, and they probably know some guys you'll find perfect. Spend time with your group of friends, and organize activities in which everyone invites other friends along. Ask your friends to set you up with guys they think you'll like. Be careful not to date someone one of your friends likes—check before you ask him out. To find someone perfect for you, attend events for things that you are passionate about. You'll meet people you have at least one thing in common with that way! Go to social spaces like gallery openings, poetry readings, concerts, protests, and religious gatherings. Make a point of talking to several new people at every gathering you attend. Don't just chat up the cuties—if you make friends, they'll introduce you to eligible men. You won't be able to tell if he's perfect for you right away, but do yourself a favor and see if he's a stable person before you start looking for perfection. Observe how he treats others. If he's nice to you, but very critical of others, he's probably also very critical of you when he's talking to others.   If he complains about his exes or other women, or refers to women as "crazy" or "hysterical," he's probably a terrible boyfriend. If he criticizes you, even if he balances it with compliments, he's trying to manipulate you. Listen to how he talks about himself. Does he brag a lot? Does he tell stories in which he's completely the hero or completely the victim? These are signs of instability. Watch out for "too good to be true." Ironically, if he seems perfect, he's probably manipulating your view of him. If he seems like a stable person, check to see if he's interested in you. He isn't perfect for you if he isn't attracted to you—you need to both see signs of compatibility.  Does he ask you questions? If he does, he's trying to learn about you. Look at his feet and hips. Are they pointed at you when you're talking? When you're in a group? These are unconscious signs that you're the one he's most interested in. If you think he's stable, exhibits the qualities you were looking for, and is attracted to you, ask him out. Some ways to ask him out include: asking him if wants to get a meal sometime, asking him if he'd like to take a walk and continue your conversation, or giving him your number and telling him to call you. You can also wait until he asks, but make sure to talk to him, smile at him, and flirt with him while you wait.
Summary:
Check out your friends' friends. Get involved in activities you care about. Check for stability. Look for interest. Ask him out.
