Problem: Article: Most people begin their ampersand at the baseline, in order to start at the bottom tail of the symbol. On ruled or lined paper, the baseline is the bottom of the two lines that make up the writing area. You should start just a tiny bit to the right of where you want the symbol to go. Bring the pen up the page to form the almost straight line in the middle of the ampersand. Try to give the line a slight curve that leans left. You can make the ampersand more round by letting your pen curve to the left and then back toward the right, if you prefer that look.  The ampersand will be about as tall as a capital letter, just under the baseline of the line above. For a curved tail at the bottom of an ampersand, put the pen just above the baseline and bring it down and to the left to reach the baseline. Then, bring the pen back up and to the left to form the diagonal. This will form a small loop at the top by bringing your pencil around to cross the original line. Your pen will cross the diagonal you made, with the intersection of the twon being the bottom of the loop. The ampersand at this point will look like the top half of the number ‘8’ with a smaller top loop. The top loop dives down from the diagonal, curving around to the right to make the large loop at the bottom of the symbol. The bottom of this curved line should swipe against the baseline you started on. Depending on how you choose to draw this ‘C’ shape, the loop can be wide and angled toward the right, close to the first downstroke and mostly vertical, or some combination of the two. Intersect the diagonal line you started with by bringing the curve up to the line. Make sure you cross the diagonal in the middle of the space between the tip of the bottom tail and the place where the top loop begins, otherwise the ampersand will look lopsided and uneven. As you cross the diagonal, continue to drag your pen up, curving slightly upward if you want a curved tail. This creates the top tail of the ampersand. The end of the ‘C’ should extend just a little bit above the first upstroke, no more than the length of the bottom tail. You can go further past the diagonal for a more embellished, decorative design. Just a single small stroke perpendicular to the tail will work for the serif. In notes or shorthand, you usually won’t need to cross the tail of the ampersand, which extends just past the original diagonal. If you are handwriting a letter or a document others will read, though, you may want to make a serif.  This line should be short and just visible enough to provide some definition to the end of the line. The cross of the original ‘T’ is actually the intersection between the bottom loop and the first upstroke, and not the wide serif some people draw on ampersands.
Summary: Put the point of your pen on the baseline. Drag your pen up and to the left to create a diagonal line. Curve the line around to the right, circling back to cross the diagonal. Swoop the line down and to the left in a large ‘C’ shape. Connect the bottom of the ‘C’ above the base of the diagonal line. Extend the bottom of the curved ‘C’ line slightly past the diagonal. Cross the end of the top tail for a serif look.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To unlock the cooker, take hold of the handle and turn the lid counterclockwise. Lift it away carefully—the contents will be very hot. Set the lid aside on a flat heat-resistant surface. The handle of the lid is made from a thick plastic material, which means it's safe to grab without a potholder. If you accidentally added a little too much water, your pasta may look a little soupy around the edges. Transfer the contents of the Instant Pot to a large serving bowl and tilt it gently over the sink to allow the liquid to run out. Another option is to scoop the cooked pasta out of the Instant Pot with a slotted spoon. That way, the unwanted liquid will stay behind in the pot.  A little extra moisture shouldn’t affect the flavor or texture of the dish. Play around with slightly different measurements until you get them just right. Don’t forget to write down your preferred proportions so your favorite dishes will turn out more consistent in the future. Mix the layered ingredients together until they’re evenly distributed. Stir from the bottom to loosen ingredients that might have become stuck, and use the edge of your spoon to break up any remaining clumps of pasta.  If the pasta itself looks undercooked or overly thick, give it 1-2 minutes of extra cook time. A good stir will also help incorporate trace amounts of liquid sitting at the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle on some freshly-grated parmesan cheese and slice a loaf of crusty garlic bread to round out the meal. For a lighter touch, try pairing your pasta creations with a mixed green salad or vegetable medley. You'll be able to put together any number of satisfying side dishes with the time you save! Store any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for 3 to 5 days.

SUMMARY: Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Drain any excess liquid. Stir the pasta thoroughly. Enjoy your pasta while it's hot.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although it can be nerve-wracking, spending one-on-one time together is a great way to strengthen friendships. Decide on an activity that you will both enjoy and invite him to join. When you invite him, try to find a balance between being open and specific.
