Q: Put a strip or two of dried orange peel into a cup of your favorite freshly-steeped tea. The orange flavor is especially delicious with green or black tea. Put 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of oil (like olive or coconut) in a jar and add a few strips of dried orange peel. The more you add, the more intense the orange flavor will be. Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and allow the oranges to steep in the oil for about a week. Use orange-infused oil in homemade salad dressing, drizzle it over veggies and roast them, or use it in your favorite baking recipe. Add ground orange peels and dried thyme or rosemary to a jar full of your favorite salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and use the flavored salt to add an extra dimension to your next meal. It is also a wonderful homemade gift idea. Fill an airtight container with dried orange peels, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, cloves, dried flowers, and a few drops of an essential oil like clove, orange, or cinnamon. Let it sit for 3 days, shaking the container a few times each day, to allow the aroma to strengthen. Then, place the potpourri in a pretty vase or bowl and set it out in your home. Combine 1 cup (225 g) of sugar, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (12.5 g) of ground dried orange peel in a bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients, then transfer the mixture to a jar and cover it with a lid. Use it to scrub your body in the shower for smooth, orange-scented skin.

Article: An easy way to drop weight and decrease water retention is to limit the amount of carbohydrate-rich foods you consume each day.  Studies have shown that carbohydrates hold on to several water molecules in your body which may cause weight gain or bloating.  Carbohydrates are found in many different foods including:  dairy products, grains, fruits, starchy vegetables, and legumes. It's not advisable to cut out each one of these foods.  Limit them in general and focus on cutting out the carbohydrates that are not as nutrient dense.  For example, consume carbohydrates from vegetables and dairy rather than fruits and grains.  Both vegetables and dairy products contain many essential nutrients to your diet. This is the quickest way to see a reduction in weight, bloating, and overall size of the abdominal area. When you're monitoring both calories and carbohydrates, you'll need to make most of your meals or snacks. Try a lean protein and a non-starchy vegetable.  Protein and non-starchy vegetables make up an invaluable part of your diet.  It's not healthy or smart to limit either of these foods.  Include both in each meal and snack. Low-carb, higher-protein and vegetable meal ideas include:  scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach, a kale salad will grilled salmon, chicken stir fry with peppers, onions and snap peas, a fat-free greek yogurt with almonds, or two hard boiled eggs. Cutting out certain types of vegetables that produce gas does not help you lose weight, but can limit bloating.  Typical gas-producing vegetables include:  beans, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and onions.  Stick to less fibrous veggies like:  green beans, peppers, eggplants, beets, carrots, artichokes, tomatoes, mushrooms, or cucumbers. Salt can cause you to retain water and increase your weight and make bloating worse. Limit sodium-related water retention by using less salt and stay away from salty foods.  Sodium attracts and holds onto water in the body.  That's why after you eat a salty meal, you may feel puffy or bloated. Stay away from typical high salt foods like: processed meats, frozen meals, canned foods, take out or restaurant meals, high salt condiments (like ketchup, salad dressings or salsa), and prepared foods. Limit or cut out the salt you add to your meals or adding while you're cooking your meals. Calories will become very important in the few days you're watching your weight.   They'll need to be monitored fairly strictly to help you meet your goal.  Everyone's calorie goals will be different based upon age, gender, weight, and activity level. You can start by cutting out about 500 calories daily.  This is generally considered safe and can produce modest weight loss.  Combined with diet and exercise, you can feel trimmer in just a few days.  In addition, it's typically recommended to never eat less than about 1200 calories daily.  Any less and you could have nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and muscle mass loss.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Limit carbohydrates. Focus mostly on protein and vegetables. Cut out gas-producing vegetables. Eat less salt. Monitor calories.

Q: Delays in harvest due to broken parts or inadequate equipment can result in a late harvest or improperly dried hay. If there are legumes, such as alfalfa and clover, in your hay field, you may need to harvest slightly earlier, when they are at 10 to 20 percent of full flower. This is the point when the hay will offer the best nutrition for your animals.  Cutting the hay too early will result in lower yields. Cutting the hay too late will result in lower nutritive content, because the plant has begun focusing on seed production. It takes this amount of time to cure dry hay for baling and rain interrupts this process. There is usually a two-week window in which hay is in the perfect stage for cutting. Generally the size of your land determines which of these pieces of equipment you will need, in order of smallest to largest machinery and investment.
A:
Check your machinery approximately one month before you plan to start haying. Cut your hay when the leaves have developed fully and the seed heads have not fully developed. Wait until you have at least three days of dry weather to cut your hay. Cut your pasture with a sickle mower, sickle haybine or rotary disk mower.
