article: A bad friend is only going to be interested in talking about themselves and won’t want to spend time listening to you. Pay attention to if they interrupt you often or respond by making the conversation about them and their experiences.  A good friend will ask you how you are and initiate a conversation about your life. Good friendships are reciprocal, meaning that you both get to share about yourselves and get encouragement from the other person. It may be that your friend doesn’t even realize they’re doing this! Try gently calling them out the next time this happens. You could say something like, “I really need to vent about my week but feel like you want to talk about other things,” and see how they respond. If you hesitate to share secrets with your friend because you’re worried they’ll gossip about you, that’s a sign that they aren’t trustworthy and something inside of you is telling you to be careful. Pay attention to how they act with your secrets—do they protect them or do they let things slip? A true friend will make time to hang out just because they like you. A bad friend will try to get something out of you when you spend time together. Watch out for these signs that a friend is using you:  Only wanting to hang out when they need a ride somewhere Constantly asking you to loan them money when you go out but never paying you back Asking you to lie to their parents and cover for them while they do something else Spending time with you only when you’re around other specific people Hanging out with you because all their other plans canceled Pressuring you to do things you’re not comfortable with While a good friend is honest, they’ll also support you and want to see you succeed. A bad friend will bring up past mistakes, make you doubt yourself, and be judgmental when you try to do something new or different. For example, if you tell your friend you want to try out for the basketball team and they say, “Do you really think you should? You’re not in very good shape and are too short,” that isn’t supportive. A good friend will encourage you and may even offer to help you train to get ready for tryouts. If your friend responds by getting jealous, angry, or passive-aggressive, that means there is something in themselves that they are unhappy with. A true friend will celebrate with you and can put aside their feelings to be supportive.  Good friends can still get jealous—that’s a normal part of human nature! But if they can’t put it aside and still be happy for you at the same time, that’s a sign that your “friend” may not be the best one for you to share happy news with. Similarly, if a friend just points out the negatives in a situation when something good happens, they are trying to bring you down. It’s natural to spend less time with your friend when they start dating someone, but there should still be a connection. If you find yourself getting ditched and ignored every time your friend has a new romantic interest, that means they aren’t great at balancing their priorities and relationships. On the flip side, pay attention to how they act when you have a significant other. Are they jealous and needy, or do they give you some space to let your relationship flourish? Do they try to guilt you into spending more time with them? While your friends are probably in-tune with the intimate details of your life, a pushy demand to know more or be involved in every aspect of your life is unhealthy. It could be that this friend is jealous or wants to control you. If they don’t respect your boundaries and decisions and get angry if you spend time away from them or have other friends, that’s a warning sign. Remember that real friendships take time to develop. If a new friend is insisting they need to know everything about you right away so you can be closer, take a step back. Gifts are super nice to receive, but sometimes bad friends will use their “generosity” as a way to keep you tied to them out of a sense of obligation. If you find that you feel pressured to be friends with someone, to overlook bad behavior, or to give them things in return, that’s a sign that something is off in the friendship. Especially pay attention to friends who give you big gifts after a fight or disagreement. They’re trying to distract you from the real issue and win you back rather than actually addressing the problem. Do you feel drained or energized? Do you look forward to seeing them again? Do you find yourself avoiding talking to that person? How you answer these questions can tell you a lot about what you truly feel about this person. Listen to your gut—it will often clue you into things your brain might not be aware of yet! Another clue you can pay attention to is how you talk about your friend to others. If you’re complaining about them a lot or even just wanting to complain about them, that’s a sign that something is off in the relationship.

article: Open your preheated oven and carefully place your tin of cupcakes onto a middle shelf in the oven. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes. While your cupcakes are baking, you can begin making your frosting. After 15-20 minutes, check to make sure your cupcakes are done by gently inserting a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, your cupcakes are done.

article:
If you grew up on a meat and potatoes diet and don’t have much experience with chiles, allow your body to grow accustomed to spiciness slowly.  Add a little spice to common foods in your current diet.  Add a shake of red pepper flakes to your soup, or put a splash of hot sauce in your ketchup.  Serve diced peppers, or a chile-based sauce, on the side, and add it to your food as you eat.  This gives you maximum control over the spiciness. If your buddy chows down on ghost peppers while you nibble on a bell pepper, it is likely that he has built up a tolerance for capsaicin over time.  Slowly but steadily move up the ladder from milder to spicier chiles.  You can train your body to adapt to hot weather, and you can do the same with hot chiles. The Scoville Scale is the standard guide for heat in chiles.  The more Scoville units, the more capsaicin, the spicier the chile.  Use it as a guide on what chile to try next. Instead of thinking you can get the pain all over with at once by popping the whole pepper, take smaller bites, especially as you build up your tolerance.  Dole out the capsaicin in smaller doses so your body can absorb it more efficiently. If you don’t overwhelm your taste buds with heat, you’ll be better able to appreciate the range of flavors in spicy dishes. Everybody is different.  Like the guy who can drink you under the table without seeming the least bit buzzed or your friend who can eat as much as she wants without gaining a pound, some people can simply tolerate spicy foods better than others.  The idea of “no pain, no gain” might urge you forward, but use common sense in deciding when you’ve maxed out your body’s adaptability to spiciness. If you seem to have reached a plateau as you work your way up the Scoville Scale, you may just want to accept that as your limit.  Think of all the spicy foods you’ve already added to your eating repertoire.
