INPUT ARTICLE: Article: First, draw the rounded base of the teardrop shape. Then, draw the point coming up off of the base. Make the lines leading up to the point bend gradually 1 to 2 times, like a wave, so your drawing looks like a flickering flame. The waves should start about halfway up the teardrop shape. Make it about half the size of the first one, and position it so the base is nearly touching the bottom of the first teardrop. Make the second teardrop wavy just like the first one. The second teardrop will give your flame dimension. Later, you can color it a different shade than the first teardrop so it looks like your flame is burning at different intensities like a real flame. Make this one about half the size of the second one, and give it the same wavy shape. Draw it near the bottom of the second teardrop shape so their bases are nearly touching. Color in the smallest teardrop shape with yellow. Then, color in the medium teardrop shape with orange. Finally, color in the biggest teardrop shape with red. You can use colored pencils, markers, or crayons. Removing the pencil outline will make your flame look more realistic. Don’t press down too hard on the eraser or you could smudge the colors. Once you’ve erased all of the pencil marks, your drawing is finished! Add a candle and wick to your flame if you’d like! Just draw a thin, vertical cylinder under the base of the flame (for the candle), and connect the top of the cylinder to the flame with a vertical line (for the wick).

SUMMARY: Draw a teardrop shape with a wavy point. Sketch a second teardrop shape inside of the first one. Add a third teardrop shape inside of the second one. Color in the teardrop shapes using red, orange, and yellow. Erase all of the lines you drew in pencil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will create the base for your ice cream. The bananas must be frozen, or you will get something closer to a smoothie instead. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor fitted with blades instead. At this point, you can also add in some optional ingredients as well. Here are some ideas to get you started:  For a hint of sweetness, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. To cut the sweetness, add a pinch of salt. For a peanut-butter ice cream, add 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of creamy peanut butter, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Pulse the ingredients at 15-second intervals using a slow speed. Between each interval, pause the blender, and scrape any unmixed mixture down the sides with a rubber spatula. The mixture will look crumbly at first, but keep going. If the mixture is not blending very well, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of dairy-free milk, such as coconut milk or almond milk. You can serve it straight out of the blender, or you can transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 5 days.

SUMMARY:
Peel, cut, and freeze two frozen bananas. Add the bananas and cocoa powder into the a blender. Blend the ingredients together until everything is smooth. Serve the ice cream immediately.
