Powdered buttermilk can add a tart, dairy flavor to popcorn. Mix buttermilk with a dash of salt and onion powder. Sprinkle this over popcorn, either microwaved or air popped, to add a little extra flavor for a tasty and healthy snack. This powder could also be used for similar snacks, such as tortilla chips. If you want to add a tart flavor to a dipping sauce, sprinkle in some powdered buttermilk and mix it into the sauce. Powdered buttermilk can be added to veggie dips, ranch dressings, and any other dipping sauce you use regularly.  Mix in onion powder and salt, as they pair well with buttermilk, for added flavor. Creamier dipping sauces, like ranch-based sauces, work best with powdered buttermilk. It may not pair well with things like marinara. If you're making a casserole or a dish like a quiche, improvise a little with powdered buttermilk. Add a tablespoon or two of buttermilk to the batter. This will add both extra flavor and a little thickness to the texture.

summary: Sprinkle powdered buttermilk over popcorn. Mix powdered buttermilk into creamy dipping sauces. Add a dash of powdered buttermilk to casseroles and quiches.

Frustration and overstimulation can lead to self-injurious behavior (SIB). This behavior can be very scary for parents, but you should know that it is common and preventable.   Make a doctor appointment. Sometimes SIB is related to pain. For example, a child who hits their own head may be experiencing pain from a toothache or lice. Solving the medical problem may make the SIB disappear. Researchers also believe that biochemicals play a role. During self-injury, endorphins are released, which inhibit the individual from feeling much pain while making them feel happier. Some parents have noticed that switching to a gluten-free diet helps, as does increasing the intake of vitamin B6 and calcium.  Some of the best sources of vitamin B6 include sunflower seeds, pistachio nuts, fish, poultry, pork, beef, prunes, raisins, bananas, avocados, and spinach. Some of the best sources of calcium include milk, cheese, yogurt, spinach, kale, okra, collards, soybeans, white beans, and calcium-fortified juices and cereals. Always consult a doctor before altering a child's diet. . Some autistic individuals rub their skin excessively to receive stimulation or do some other potentially injurious behavior and wind up hurting themselves. Intervene by encouraging safer forms of stimulation. Massage can work, as can rubbing the skin lightly with a brush, or wearing a thin layer of clothing over the skin (e.g. sweatpants) to prevent damage while scratching.  Say something like "You're hurting your legs. Could you massage them instead of hitting them?" Remember that many autistic people don't like the idea of hurting themselves. Work with your child to find alternative ways to stim. For example, hitting one's head could be replaced by rapidly shaking the head. Search the internet to see what substitutes autistic adults have found for their SIB. Be consistent. Autistic children need to know that self-harm is not appropriate or allowed, that you will always be there to help them handle it. Work with other caregivers and teachers so that everyone uses the same approach. If your child’s self-injurious behavior seems to result from frustration, do what you can to deal with that. This may mean developing new communication methods, backing off on certain activities, or taking care not to put your child in a situation likely to cause sensory overload.

summary: Know that self-injury is common among autistic people. Experiment with nutritional intervention. Encourage safe forms of stimulation Deal with sources of frustration.

You can use just a brass lacquer polishing cloth. If desired, add a small amount of spray furniture wax. Avoid wash clothes, paper towels and any cleaning product not specifically made for brass instrument care. You can safely tighten loose rod screws, but be careful not to over-torque them. Specialty swabs, pad savers and bell brushes can be washed lightly by hand with a small amount of soap. Each should last years if cleaned regularly. It should look, feel, and play beautifully! When in doubt, consult a professional.
summary: Polish the body. Tighten loose screws. Clean your cleaners. Reassemble your saxophone.
