You will need about a cup and a half of blueberries, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 1 ½ cups of milk, 1 ½ cups of flour, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. You will also need two large bowls and a whisk.  Melt the butter by microwaving it in a microwave safe container for thirty seconds. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Thaw the frozen blueberries by letting them sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. First, mix the salt, baking powder, and flour into a large bowl. If you’re worried about the mixture clumping, use a sifter to mix the dry ingredients. Hold the sifter over the bowl. Pour in each dry ingredient, shaking the sifter back and forth to create a powder in the bowl. If you have two bowls of different sizes, use the larger bowl to mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. You can use a whisk or an electric beater. Beat the mixture until the eggs are completely combined. The melted butter should be hot, but not so hot that you can’t touch it. Otherwise, it will cook the eggs as you mix them. Whisk everything until the ingredients are combined. There shouldn’t be any flour on sides of the bowl or lumps in the batter. After you’re done mixing the batter, you can either fold in the blueberries or wait to add them until you cook the pancake. If you fold in the blueberries, the blueberries will be unevenly distributed. Many cooks prefer to add the blueberries later to control the blueberry-to-pancake ratio. Cover the batter with plastic and leave it on your counter. If possible, let it rest for one hour. This will aerate the batter and create fluffy, tall pancakes. However, the pancakes will still be delicious if you decide to start cooking immediately.

One-sentence summary -- Gather your ingredients and materials. Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix the wet ingredients together. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Set the batter aside to rest.

Q: If not, then don't end things. You need to mentally consider this as a break-up. Don't try and let someone down easy as an excuse to "keep your options open." Either you break up or you don't. Playing games with someone's emotions isn't fair or gentle.  If you hope that you can get them to break up with you, then don't try and let them down gently. You can't expect them to do the work for you -- you need to end things yourself. If they don't pick up on the hints or being gentle doesn't work, you need to be ready to step in and end the relationship firmly. Your goals when splitting away from someone are important. If you don't want to see someone again, then you should just end the relationship quickly and kindly. If you're just trying to slow thing down a bit, a gentle let down is more appropriate.  A gentle let down can give someone the impression that you may want to rekindle things later in life. If you don't want this, end it quickly. If you're being gentle because you are worried about your safety, just end things quickly. Don't worry about being gentle. If you're worried about their reaction, bring a trusted friend along. If you've had some disagreements lately and just need some space, you should let them down gently, allowing you to resume friendship when the dust has settled. All relationships have ups and downs, and it is easy to forget about the good times when you're in the bad. If you're trying to let her down because you've hit a rough patch, ask yourself if you really dislike her or just dislike your current state.  Don't rush into this decision. Wait 2-3 weeks to see if your feelings change. Try writing a list of pros and cons to help clarify your decision. Use this to see if there are things you can adjust rather than simply ending the relationship. Many people like the "gentle let down" because it lets you change your mind later on. If you do keep changing your mind, however, you are likely in a short lull, not some relationship crisis. If you keep having the same old fights every day, then you should consider ending it once and for all. While your gentle intentions are noble, and you still care for their feelings, ask yourself if you're really making things better with a protracted split. Sometimes you just need to rip the Band-Aid off. If you know that they're emotionally invested in your relationship and don't want things to end, you're not going to be gentle no matter what you do. Don't prolong this more than necessary. If he seems distant as well, and you just don't feel the spark anymore, you should go ahead and let him down nice and gently. If you've realized that this isn't fair, or isn't the best way to end things, you should weigh your other options. Consider:  Ending a manipulative or abusive relationship.  Ending a Friendship. Breaking up. Rekindling the relationship.
A: Are you sure that you want to end the relationship? Are you trying to break contact completely, or just return to friendship? Is your relationship in a lull, or fatally flawed? Would a quick, clean break up be better for everyone? What can you do instead of a gentle let down?

Problem: Article: Whether the local water comes from a tap, stream, well, or another local source, it may contain bacteria. If you must drink the local water, bring it to a boil it over high heat. Keep it at a rolling boil for 1 to 3 minutes to kill off the harmful waterborne pathogens.  At high altitudes, boil the water for about 3 to 5 minutes. Ask for beverages like coffee and tea that are prepared with boiling water. Pick up a packet of water treatment tablets at a sporting goods store, travel store, or pharmacy. Use iodized water filters to purify your water, or add 5 drops of tincture of iodine per 1 quart of water.  Alternatively, add tetraglycine hydroperiodide tablets to your water.  Follow the instructions on the packaging for correct usage. Avoid ingesting untreated water, whether it’s in a liquid or solid state. Freezing doesn’t kill off bacteria the same way that boiling does. Ice cubes can quickly contaminate otherwise safe beverages like bottled water. For this reason, never add ice to anything you drink. If someone puts ice in your drink, ask for a clean glass.  Even if you see local residents drinking untreated water or ice, don’t drink it yourself. Locals typically develop immunity to the bacteria. Don’t drink beverages mixed with local water or ice such as locally-made fruit juice or frozen beverages. Opt for canned or bottled carbonated water, still water, soft drinks, beer, or wine. Carefully inspect the seal on the container before drinking what’s inside, then dry off any moisture on the outside of the container. If the beverage has been brought to you already opened, don’t drink it.  Carbonation kills off the bacteria, making carbonated water a safer choice than still water.  Bottled and canned beverages are often stored in locally-made ice. It’s essential to wipe off the container before opening it to avoid contaminating your drink. Be sure to check the seal very carefully on bottled water to make sure it hasn't been refilled with local water. This isn’t an uncommon practice in developing countries.
Summary:
Boil untreated water for at least 1 minute before drinking it. Treat local water with iodine tablets or filters. Don’t drink beverages containing ice or local water. Drink beverages after you open their original, sealed containers.
