While you may not be able to afford to shop at Prada or Louis Vuitton, you can still visit other places that celebrities also frequent. In L.A., locales like the Brentwood Farmers Market and Whole Foods are often frequented by celebrities doing their shopping. Stores usually don’t look kindly on people who loiter without making purchases. Buying something from the store, even if it’s small or inexpensive, will help ensure that you don’t make yourself unwelcome. Press conferences and premiers often run late, so if you arrive in the morning, you may see the celebrity leaving for work.  Lingering in the hotel lobby may get you in trouble, so consider having a drink in the hotel bar. Sit so that you can see who comes in and out of the hotel. Don't be disappointed if you don't see the person coming into or leaving the hotel. Many large hotels with a celebrity clientele have back entrances to protect their privacy. If you have attended a concert, ask where the tour vans are located, and try to get in that area. Many bands pack up quickly after the show, but some people may be hanging around and could introduce you. Become a waiter at their favorite restaurant, a bartender at their regular bar, or a personal trainer at their gym. Working an eight hour shift greatly increases the odds you will be there when they are there.  Make sure to get a job that lets you interact with the patrons. Jobs like valet parking and coat check, while not particularly exciting, are likely to put you in contact with celebrities dining out or staying in hotels.  Always be professional. Most employers at places that celebrities frequent will not look kindly at potential harassment of their famous clientele. It’s fine to start up a chat or even ask for a photograph under the right circumstances, but if you become a nuisance you’re not likely to keep your job.

One-sentence summary -- Visit places that celebrities also visit. Wait outside the hotel where you know they are staying. Wait near the tour vans for musicians. Get a job near where celebrities spend their time.

Q: Turn the oven on to 350°F (180°C). Get out a baking sheet and line the sheet with a silicone baking mat. If you don't have a mat, you can line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Set the pan aside while you make the cookie dough. Place 1/2 of a medium banana into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the banana until it's smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed, 3 tablespoons of water, and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mash the mixture until the water and oil are combined. Measure and add 1/3 cup (66 g) cane sugar to the mixing bowl along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir the wet mixture well. Set it aside while you mix together the dry ingredients. Get out another mixing bowl and place all of the dry ingredients into it. Use a whisk to combine the mixture for about 30 seconds. This will ensure that the baking soda is evenly distributed. You'll need to combine:  2 cups (180 g) quick cooking oats 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose gluten-free flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt Scoop the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to stir the cookie dough until it's just combined and you don't see any pockets of dry ingredients. Stir in 1/2 cup (80 g) of vegan chocolate chips or chunks. You can use a large tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Or use a cookie scoop that measures about 1 tablespoon. Gently flatten each of the cookies just a little, since they won't expand and spread out very much as they bake. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies start to look dry and cracked around the edges once they've finished cooking. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes before you transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store the leftover oatmeal raisin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
A: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Mash the banana with flax seed and water. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients. Combine the wet and dry mixtures with the chocolate chips. Scoop the cookies onto the prepared sheet. Bake the oatmeal raisin cookies.

Article: Hostas can be propagated by dividing a mature plant. The best times for dividing plants are in early spring or late fall, about a month before the frost comes. Hostas do not need to be divided, but you can divide them if you want to propagate more plants, or want to give them away to other gardeners. As your hostas grow, they will produce new offsets every year. You can easily divide the hosta without digging up the entire plant by locating and removing these new offsets. The offsets will look like new clumps of growth that pop up around the parent plant.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pick the right time to divide the plants. Locate a clump of new growth.

Problem: Article: The coefficients are the numbers outside of a radical. If there is no given coefficient, then the coefficient can be understood to be 1. Multiply the coefficients together. Here's how you do it:   Ex. 1: 3√(2) x √(10) = 3√( ? ) 3 x 1 = 3   Ex. 2: 4√(3) x 3√(6) = 12√( ? ) 4 x 3 = 12 After you've multiplied the coefficients, you can multiply the numbers inside the radicals. Here's how you do it:   Ex. 1: 3√(2) x √(10) = 3√(2 x 10) = 3√(20)  Ex. 2: 4√(3) x 3√(6) = 12√(3 x 6) = 12√(18) Next, simplify the numbers under the radicals by looking for perfect squares or multiples of the numbers under the radicals that are perfect squares. Once you've simplified those terms, just multiply them by their corresponding coefficients. Here's how you do it:  3√(20) = 3√(4 x 5) = 3√([2 x 2] x 5) = (3 x 2)√(5) = 6√(5) 12√(18) = 12√(9 x 2) = 12√(3 x 3 x 2) = (12 x 3)√(2) = 36√(2)
Summary: Multiply the coefficients. Multiply the numbers inside the radicals. Simplify the product.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To cream butter and sugar, first let the butter sit out of the fridge for about an hour until it has reached room temperature. You want it to be soft, but not completely melted.  Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon to beat it until you've made a soft, even mixture and there are no chunks left.  You can also use a mixer if you have one. Pour the brown sugar into the bowl and use the tines of a fork to press the sugar into the butter. Use the wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until the mixture rises and is a light yellow color. Just place the cookie dough bites on a plate and stick them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.  You can also put them in the freezer for 10 minutes if you have a time constraint or you feel impatient. You can place the balls in the refrigerator or freezer to cool the chocolate coating.

SUMMARY: Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Refrigerate the balls until they're firm. Allow chocolate to cool.

Article: Choose as many as you wish to fry. Use tongs to pluck them out. Add spices to taste.  Gently shake the bag. The process will evenly coat the pickles. Fry for no longer than 2 minutes. These are bound to be a great crowd pleaser.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove the pickles from the jar. Make a breading mixture from flour and cornmeal. Pour all of the mixture into a quart or gallon bag. Toss the wet pickles into the bag. Fry the coated pickles at 355ºF. Serve hot.
