Friendships can blossom with a series of one-on-one interactions. It can be fun to go out in a big group now and again; this can also be a way to meet people and make friends. However, try to have one-on-one time with people you really click with. This can help a strong friendship develop.  If you meet someone you click with in a big group, reach out to them. Invite them out to dinner or for a drink. The two of you can spend some time chatting and getting to know one another more in depth. Keeping the first one-on-one encounter brief can help keep the potential friend interested and feeling positive about the future of the friendship. Push beyond small talk. Bonds tend to form when people feel vulnerable. As you start to get close to someone, confess some deeper information. Talk about your secrets, insecurities, dreams, and more. Sharing sensitive information with someone can strengthen a bond.  Laugh at yourself! Find something you did that day or something about yourself that you can poke fun at — this is generally endearing to people. However, make sure not to share sensitive information with someone until you're sure you can trust them. If you want to build a strong friendship, communication is important. Make an effort to talk to your friend as often as possible.  If you met your friend at a club or meeting, chat that friend up each time you get a chance. Sit next to your new friend in meetings so you can talk before and after meetings. Text when you can. It's easy to have strong, interesting conversations via text. Friendship builds over time, and small gestures can go a long way towards keeping a friendship strong. Pick up your friend's favorite treat if they've had a bad day. Buy your friend a drink at the bar. Send your friend a text if you see something that reminds you of them while you're out on the town. Slowly, you will begin to form a stronger bond. Propose a road trip. The two of you can go out of town for the day to a spa or out for a hike. A road trip, even a short one, can give you time to bond. New experiences help foster strong friendships. If there's something the two of you have always wanted to do, try it together. For example, take a trip to a mountain range you've always wanted to hike together. Be patient. It takes around six to eight meaningful interactions before you will really feel like you're friends with someone. You cannot force friendship to take place overnight. Allow your friendship to develop at its own pace.

Grab a cookie sheet and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. If you'd prefer, line a sheet with parchment paper (no muss, no fuss, just throw it away after). Chop up your bell pepper(s) and, if applicable, shred the mozzarella. Measure out your ingredients and set aside for swift assembly. The pepper works best for this recipe if it's in thin slices, not chunks. But any shaped pepper is better than no pepper at all! Make sure to stir frequently to cook it evenly, browning it on all sides. Drain away the juices, fat, and set aside. Place it on the sprayed cookie sheet and get to work. Starting at the center and working outward, form a 12x8-inch (30 by 20 cm) rectangle by pressing out the dough with your hands. Make sure to leave a crust! You want the sauce to within 2 inches of the long sides and 1/2 inch of the short sides. Place the cooked ground beef lengthwise down the center (about 3 inches in width) and to within 1/2 inch of the edges on the short sides. Top with cheese, bell pepper and Italian seasoning -- or whatever whets your appetite. If you'd like your dough to be braided, leave extra room on the sides. See the next section for possible folding methods. Once folded, if you'd like a golden color, whisk up an egg and brush it on the top just before baking. Add on any spices or cheeses for a flavor-y crust. If your dough seems a bit overstuffed, be especially careful. Keep an eye on it and flip it halfway through, if necessary. Remove from the oven and let cool. Slice as you see fit. This recipe should serve 6.

Purchase saplings from your local nursery. These trees are able to survive in the moist soils on the river bank. These trees also serve as natural habitats for birds and insects near the river. It will take time for them to fully establish and protect against erosion.  Use trees that are native to your area so you don’t disrupt the local ecosystem. Find trees further along the riverbank to get an idea of what species you should plant. Since the river could cause the soil to erode, don’t plant seeds directly near the river. Go to a local nursery and purchase saplings that have germinated and grown in pots. It is recommended to pick a diverse number of species that represent what naturally grows in the area. Planting larger vegetation like trees and shrubs closer to the water can actually be more damaging to the soil. As the roots grow, they will expand and protect the soil closer to the river. Use a shovel or spade to make the hole. The extra depth and width gives you extra space to fill the dirt back in. Make sure the root system comes into contact with the soil. Gently compact and firm up the soil with your foot as you fill it in so your tree has a sturdy base.  Cover the entire root system with soil. Space the plants at least 2 metres (6.6 ft) apart from one another.

Pick trees like alders and willows. Plant vegetation that has already established. Keep vegetation at least 1 metre (3.3 ft) away from the river. Dig a hole 2 inches (5.1 cm) deeper and wider than the root system. Put the vegetation in the hole and refill it.
