INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Because peas are a natural product, the package may contain small stones, dirt, or pea pod fragments. Sift through the dried split peas with your fingers and pick these out. Once you're left with just peas, rinse them in a fine mesh strainer to clean off dust. Split peas cook relatively quickly, so soaking is not necessary. That said, you can speed up the cooking time by soaking them in a covered pot of water for four hours, or overnight. Chop up the carrots, onions, and celery, plus other vegetables if desired. Chop finely for a thin soup, or into ¼ to ½" (6 to 12 mm) chunks for a more stew-like meal. Optionally, save half a carrot to grate over the top of the serving bowl.

SUMMARY: Sort and rinse the peas. Soak the peas (optional). Chop the vegetables.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose a wide-enough open space in which you can assemble your tent. If you're in a state or national park, make sure that you're camping in a designated camping area. Make sure that you're not on private property and follow all the laws in the area that govern camping. Position the side of the tent with doors away from the prevailing wind, making the tent less likely to balloon and create extra tension on the stakes.  Try to use the natural tree line to create a windbreak if it's especially windy. Move closer to the trees so they'll block off the breeze a little bit. Avoid camping in dry river/creek beds in case flash flooding occurs and avoid camping under trees, which can be dangerous in storms and can drop branches without warning on your tent. It can be a good idea to anticipate the sun's path for the morning time, so you won't be rudely awakened. In the summertime, tents can act like ovens, meaning that you'll wake up sweaty and irritable if you set up your tent in the direct path of the sun. In the ideal tent placement, you'll remain in the shade through the morning so you can wake up comfortably at a time of your choosing. Keep the sleeping area well away from cooking and toilet areas, preferably upwind of them. If you have a fire at your campsite, make sure it's not close enough to spray sparks onto the tent, and make sure you put your fire out completely before you turn in for the night.

SUMMARY: Find an appropriate camp site. Pay attention to the direction of the wind. Determine where the sun will rise. Organize your campsite appropriately.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are three basics brow brushes: the spoolie, the mascara brush, and the slanted brow brush. Each brush has a distinct shape and serves a different purpose.  The spoolie brush is essentially a mascara applicator. This spiraled-bristle brush is used to shape your brows and blend your eyebrow filler. The mascara comb is a double sided tool. Its plastic comb is used to brush through eyelashes; its thick bristle brush is used to tame and shape brows. The angled brow brush, also known as the slanted liner brush, is used to apply eyebrow filler. You may also use the slanted tip brush to apply eye liner to your lids. There are several different forms of brow fillers on the market. Choose the product that will help you achieve the look you desire.  If you have defined eyebrows with minor gaps, use an eyebrow pencil. Select a brow pencil that is blend-able—it shouldn’t be extremely soft or too waxy. Apply this filler with light, small strokes to mimic the look of hair. If you are looking to soften and fill your sparse brows, use a brow powder one shade lighter than your natural hair color. In addition to thickening your brows, you can use powders to add shape and definition to your brows. This product is applied with an angled brush. If you are looking to highlight your brows with a bold color, use a brow pomade. Apply this thick product sparingly to your brows with an angled makeup brush. Pomades are very tricky to work with and should only be used after mastering the application of brow pencils and powders. If you are concerned about your brow makeup smudging or fading, consider using a brow pencil. Apply this product with light, feathery strokes. If you want to maintain the shape of your brows throughout the day, use a clear or tinted brow gel. You can use brow gels in combination with other products.

SUMMARY: Pick out brow brushes. Select a brow filler.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It should still sound like you -- but like a sexier, slower-talking version of you. Don't use the same voice you would use to ask your honey how his day went. Instead, talk a bit lower and more slowly -- you can even lower your voice to a near-whisper if you want to. Just make sure it still sounds like you to an extent. You don't have to say anything X-rated right away. Just start with a few basic compliments. Tell your special someone how much you've missed him, and how amazing his body is. You can even remind him of the last time you had sex and how hot it was. Just start saying nice things to your lover to get into the mood. Here are some things you can say:  "I've been thinking about your toned arms all day." "I miss you and your body so much." "I love hearing your voice." Tell your lover what you're wearing and describe it in great detail. Talk about how your body looks in your clothes, and mention any parts that are exposed. Ask your lover what he or she is wearing and close your eyes and imagine him or her in those clothes. Here are some ways to describe what you're wearing:  For women:  "I'm wearing your favorite bra." "I'm not wearing any underwear." "My dress is really tight around my chest."   For men:  "My shirt is tight around my biceps." "I'm wearing that belt you love to take off." "I'm wearing a button-down shirt. It comes off pretty easily." Start slow. Just say a few things that you wish would happen if your lover was there. You can get as graphic as you want, but you can start with the basics as you build toward your more elaborate fantasies. Here are some things you can say:  "I wish your arms were around me right now." "I wish I could kiss your neck right now." "If you were here, I'd start nibbling on your ear. You wouldn't be able to stop me."
