Q: Set the potatoes in a single layer on the plate in the microwave. Heat the potatoes on high for 5 minutes. After the first heating session, carefully turn the potatoes over on the plate to the other side. Heat them on high until they feel soft when you squeeze them.  If the potatoes are still hard after another 5 minutes, continue heating them in 1 minute increments until they’re done. Be sure to use a pot holder to handle the plate and a pair of tongs to turn and squeeze the potato because they'll both be very hot. When the potatoes are tender, take the plate out of the microwave. Allow the potatoes to cool for about 3 minutes or until they’re cool enough to handle. Use a pot holder or oven mitt to take the plate out of microwave because it will be hot. Once you can handle the potatoes easily, use a knife to cut them open. Add sour cream, chives, or your favorite toppings, and serve. You can store any leftover potatoes in the refrigerator once they've cooled and been wrapped in plastic wrap. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.
A: Place the potatoes on microwave-safe plate and heat for 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the potatoes and let them to sit for 3 minutes. Serve the potatoes with your favorite toppings.

Q: When you understand what your long-term goals are, you can determine how best to prioritize your time in high school to accomplish those goals. Write down a list of things you may be interested in doing, then read and research what careers in those fields involve. Narrow your list down until you have identified the career you’d like to pursue, as well as other things you’d like to do, like traveling or learning a language.  For example, you may want to become a computer programmer when you grow up. To that end, you may want to pursue computer programming electives. Knowing the opportunities you want to pursue will help you prioritize what you spend your time on. Don’t worry if you don't think you have the "right" answer. You can change or adjust your goals at any time. Research the steps it takes to achieve your long-term goals by talking to professionals who have achieved those goals and searching the Internet for information. Then determine what you can do in high school to start taking those steps.  Make your short-term goals with both high school and college in mind. Make sure that your grades and extracurriculars match the undergraduate, vocational, or other post high school programs you intend to apply for. If you want to be an engineer, and discover that you can take engineering electives starting in your junior year if you have a certain GPA, then an immediate short-term goal might be to earn that GPA. Then tack the sheet of paper up somewhere where you can see it every day. This will help you understand how you need to organize your time and motivate you to do so. Refer to your long-term goals periodically to help keep yourself focused on priority activities.  Your short term goals should be action-oriented, and precise. A good example of a short-term goal is to “earn a 90 or higher in sophomore Chemistry,” while a bad example is to “ace all my classes.” By thinking through and writing down what it takes to achieve your goals, you’ll have a good sense of how to manage your time appropriately.
A: Brainstorm some long-term goals. Formulate short-term goals by learning how to accomplish your long-term goals. Write your long-term and short-term goals down on paper.

Q: . Fondant is a smooth, easily molded covering used to cover the whole cake or to make cake toppers. You can make it yourself or purchase ready-made fondant to save yourself the trouble.  Some brands of fondant tear more easily than others. Fondarific, Duff, and FondX are good beginner options.  Fondant dries quickly, so keep any portions you are not currently using wrapped in plastic or in the original container. Make this as smooth as possible to prevent wrinkling or tearing the fondant, which will go over the buttercream. See the icing section for tips.  Ganache can be used instead. It may be more difficult to smooth, but will provide a more stable base. Sprinkle cornstarch or spread shortening on a clean surface to prevent the fondant from sticking, then knead it for a couple minutes or until pliable. Knead by pushing with your flat palms and heel of the hand, to avoid trapping air bubbles in the fondant. Skip this step if you purchased ready-to-use rolled fondant. Use a rolling pin to roll the fondant out to a ¼ in (6 mm) thickness. Occasionally rotate the fondant by sliding your hand underneath it to the center, to make sure it hasn't stuck to the table. If you plan on covering a circular cake with fondant, you'll need a circle as wide as your cake's diameter plus twice the cake's height. Once the fondant is rolled out, roll it around the rolling pin, then unroll it again over the cake to drape it over. Use a flat tool – or your hands if necessary – to smooth the top surface and remove air bubbles. Next, smooth out a full circle around the top of the cake's sides, to make sure the fondant is firmly attached. Smooth the rest of the sides, gradually moving around the cake, until it is fully covered. Cut off the remaining fondant with a utility knife or pizza cutter. If you are covering a cake with an unusual shape, put the fondant in the same mold you used for the cake, let it harden slightly, then place it over the cake. Large cakes may need to be covered piece by piece, then repaired as described below. You can easily make two-dimensional fondant decorations by cutting shapes out with a utility knife or scissors. Use fondant in multiple colors to make faces, animals, or any shape you like. It can also be sliced into strips and arranged to form ribbons or a spiral flower. Three-dimensional shapes can be sculpted just like clay, although fondant is best suited for small cake toppers, since it dries quickly. Fondant can tear, crack, or bulge fairly easily, especially when used to cover an entire cake. Here are a few ways to repair these imperfections:  Put a small amount of new fondant into a bowl and mix in water ¼ tsp (1 mL) at a time until you get a toothpaste consistency. Spread this with a flat spatula over cracks or dents to make them smooth, then wait for them to dry. If the fondant cracks before you've started decorating, knead in some shortening or glycerin. Hairline cracks can sometimes be smoothed out with your fingertips, or disguised with a brush of shortening. A bulge is usually an air bubble. Try pricking it with a pin, then smoothing out the fondant.
