INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's possible to make whole grain crusts by substituting an equal amount of whole wheat pastry flour, as fine a grain as possible. To help the texture, it's also a good idea to add a quarter to a half cup of raw oats, flaxseed meal, or other whole grain flour to help get the mix to come together. Whole wheat flour tends to be much more brittle and difficult to handle than that made with white flour. Be very careful not to over-mix it. Making a cookie crust with finely crumbled ginger snap, Oreo, graham cracker, or some other cookie of your choice. Start with 12-15 cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a plate or tenderizing mallet, until they're fine enough to resemble a coarse flour. To that, mix in a quarter cup of melted butter, and press into the cookie plate. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, watching closely so it won't burn. Cookie crusts pair excellently with custard or cream pies, like chocolate or coconut. It's less effective for fruit pies. Use equal amounts of brown or white rice flour and sweet rice flour, instead of wheat flour. The rest of the recipe works as normal, as long as you use vegetable shortening, which is vegan. It's also common to use a little xanthan gum, about a teaspoon, to bind the dough and replace the need for the gluten strands that form in wheat flour dough.

SUMMARY: Substitute whole wheat flour for white. Make a cookie crust. Use gluten free substitutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your ability to recall dreams vividly will improve considerably if you're falling asleep and waking up at the same times roughly each day. It can be tough to make a solid routine work against a busy life schedule, but it will help boost the potential of your REM cycles. Dreaming occurs during the REM cycle of sleeping. Melatonin is widely recognized as an ingredient that promotes healthy sleep and vivid dreaming. Melatonin supplements are commonly recommended as a way for people to get better sleep if it's something they struggle with. It's recommended you take one half an hour before going to bed each night in order to ensure your best possible sleep. Melatonin can be found naturally in certain foods. Cherries, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and almonds are a few of the go-to foods with a high melatonin supply. The act itself of contemplating dreaming may encourage dreams once you fall asleep. The simple act of reading this wikiHow article may set the stage for dreaming. Having thoughts of vivid and lucid dreaming can help you think about the consciousness and experience of dreaming. This is a big help if you're trying to dream lucidly. As a general rule, the most vivid dreams you have will be lucid. This is not because lucid dreams are naturally more vivid, but because lucid dreams are more easily remembered. Throughout the day, you should take a minute to stop and ask yourself whether you're dreaming or not. This is called a reality check, and making a habit of this thought can help increase lucidity while you dream. Make a point of doing it at different times throughout a day before you intend on dreaming. There's a lot to suggest that the best sleeps for dreaming are the ones where there's little to no distraction in your surroundings.

SUMMARY: Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Take a melatonin supplement. Think about dreaming. Give yourself periodic reality checks. Sleep peacefully.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After the broad leaves start to form, you should weed by hand regularly. The large leaves will shade out some weeds. Let it soak for a few minutes to reach the whole root system. Water below the leaves to avoid powdery mildew and scab. ” You can remove them by hand. Cover your plants with netting cheesecloth while they are young, if you have a problem with cucumber beetles.

SUMMARY: Place mulch around your squash for the first few weeks if you have a weed problem. Water your squash mounds when the soil begins to dry out. Look out for squash vine borers that leave “sawdust.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The needed bacteria grow best when temperatures are warm but not too warm. A couple of degrees either way is fine, but try to keep the water in this range. You can go as low as 77 °F (25 °C). You can do it in a coldwater tank, but it will take longer. Of course, you'll need a water pump system for your fish. More vigorous pumps will help the bacteria grow faster, so if you're in a hurry, pick a pump that moves the water around at a rate of 5 times the amount your tank holds in an hour. For instance, if your tank holds 20 gallons, it should be able to move 100 gallons (380 L). The pH level also affects how quickly your tank will mature. Check the pH levels with a pH kit, which works similarly to the ammonia and nitrate kits. You dip a strip into water, and see what color it turns. Then you compare it to a chart.  The pH levels should be between 7.5 and 8 for ideal conditions. If you need to make the tank more acidic, you can add peat. If you need to make it more alkaline, you can add mineral salts (such as calcium). It you need to create an acidic tank, use a chemical filter instead of developing bacteria. It takes a few weeks for the bacteria to properly develop in the tank. Be patient. Don't add the fish too soon, as you could end up with "new tank" syndrome. Just keep checking the chemical levels.

SUMMARY:
Keep the temperature around 85 °F (29 °C). Circulate the water. Test the pH level. Add fish after 2 to 4 weeks when the tank is ready.
