| How to Make Vegan Cheese Posted: 24 Apr 2022 01:00 AM PDT Being vegan means that you choose not to have any dairy, but that does not mean that you should give up delicious cheese. With cashew nuts, some time, and a little bit of creativity, you can create a vegan-friendly product that tastes close to the real thing! [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Herbed Vegan Cheese[1] - 2 cups (285 grams) raw cashews
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) water
- 2 tablespoons (17 grams) nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) minced fresh dill (optional, for serving)
Serves 32 [Edit]Grated Vegan Parmesan[2] - 3/4 cup (105 grams) raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons (25 grams) nutritional yeast
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Makes 1 cup (135 grams) [Edit]Vegan Cream Cheese[3] - 1¾ cups (250 grams) raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons (17 grams) nutritional yeast
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 to 3 chives, chopped (optional)
Makes 14 ounces (400 grams) [Edit]Vegan Mozzarella Dip[4] - ½ cup (70 grams) raw cashews
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) water
- 3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons (27 grams) tapioca flour/starch
- 1 tablespoon (8.5 grams) nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Serves 4 [Edit]Making Herbed Vegan Cheese - Soak the cashews overnight. Place 2 cups (285 grams) of raw cashews into a bowl. Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the nuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then tuck it into the fridge. Leave it there overnight.
- Drain and rinse the cashews. Pour the cashews into a colander that's been set into the sink. Rinse the cashews with cool water until the water runs clear. Shake the colander to get rid of any excess water.
- Place the cashews into a food processor with all of the ingredients. This includes the minced garlic, garlic powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, water, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and olive oil. Don't add the fresh dill just yet.
- Blend the ingredients together for 5 minutes until creamy. It will take about 5 minutes for the cheese to get a creamy texture. Every so often, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape any unblended mixture down the sides of the bowl. Use this opportunity to taste the cheese and make any adjustments.
- If you want a more cheese-like flavor, add more nutritional yeast.
- If you want a little extra tang, add more lemon zest.
- If you want a sharper taste, add some more garlic powder.
- If the cheese needs more overall flavor or balance, add a dash of sea salt.
- Wrap the cheese with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Set a fine, mesh strainer into a large bowl. Line it with 2 pieces of cheesecloth or a clean tea towel. Scoop the cheese into the lined strainer with a rubber spatula, then bundle the cheesecloth around the cheese. Twist the excess cheesecloth into a rope and secure it with a rubber band.
- Refrigerate the cheese for 6 to 12 hours. Set the cheese back down into the strainer, then carry the bowl over to the fridge. Tuck the bowl into the fridge, and leave it there for 6 to 12 hours. This will allow the excess water to drain away. The cheese is ready when it holds its shape.
- Unwrap the cheese, then coat it with chopped dill, if desired. Unwrap the cheesecloth first. Reshape the cheese into a disk using your hands. If you want to give it a little more flavor, use your hands to press the chopped dill into the sides of the cheese.
- Do not over handle the cheese, or it will fall apart.
- Serve the cheese, and refrigerate it after 1 to 2 hours. This type of cheese can hold its form, but only for 1 to 2 hours. After that, it will need to be refrigerated to solidify again. Enjoy the cheese within 5 days.
[Edit]Making Grated Vegan Parmesan - Place the cashews into a food processor. You will need 3/4 cup (105 grams) of raw, whole cashews. Do not soak them ahead of time.
- Add the yeast, salt, and garlic powder. You will need 3 tablespoons (25 grams) of nutritional yeast, 3/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Blend the ingredients until they form a grainy powder. Every so often, pause the food processor, and scrape any unblended mixture down the sides of the bowl. Keep pulsing and scraping until the mixture is grainy.
- Store the cheese in an airtight container in the fridge. Once you have a grainy mixture, your cheese is ready to use. Pour the cheese into an airtight container, such as a jar, and store it in the fridge. The cheese will last for 2 to 3 weeks. You should throw it out once it starts to look moldy or taste rancid.
- You can use this cheese on breadsticks, pizza, and even pasta.
[Edit]Making Vegan Cream Cheese - Soak the cashew nuts overnight. Place 1¾ cups (250 grams) of raw cashews into a bowl. Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the nuts. Wrap a sheet of plastic wrap over the bowl, then place the bowl into the fridge. Leave the bowl in the fridge overnight.
- Drain and rinse the cashews. Remove the bowl from the fridge and pull the plastic wrap off. Place a colander in the sink, then pour the cashews inside it. Rinse the cashews using fresh water, then shake the colander to remove any excess water.
- Place the cashews, yeast, and lemon juice into a food processor. Place the drained and rinsed cashews into the food processor first. Next, add 2 tablespoons (17 grams) of nutritional yeast and the juice of 1 lemon. Hold off on the chives for now.
- Blend the ingredients until everything is smooth. This will take about 5 minutes. Every so often, pause the food processor, and scrape any grainy mixture towards the bottom with a rubber spatula. This will help the cheese blend more evenly.
- Scoop the cheese into a bowl. Remove the blades from the food processor, then use a rubber spatula to scrape the cheese into a bowl. If you want to give the cheese a little more flavor, stir in 2 to 3 chopped chives.
- Cover and refrigerate the cheese for 1 hour. Wrap a sheet of plastic wrap over the bowl. Place the bowl into the fridge, and leave it there for 1 hour. This will allow the cheese to become firmer.
- Use the cheese within 3 to 4 days. If you want to, you can transfer the cheese into a smaller bowl. You can even reuse a plastic tub from a previous container of cheese. Keep the cheese in the fridge when you are not eating it.
[Edit]Making Vegan Mozzarella Dip - Cook the cashews for 10 to 15 minutes to soften them. Fill a small saucepan with water, then add ½ cup (70 grams) of raw cashews. Set the saucepan on the stove, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the cashews for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they turn soft.
- This cheese is not the same as fresh, non-vegan mozzarella. It is more like a dip.
- Drain and rinse the cashews. Set a colander into the sink, then pour the cashews into the colander. Let the water drain, then pour fresh water over the cashews. Jiggle the colander to shake off any excess water.
- Place the cashews and remaining ingredients into a food processor. Add the cashews to the food processor first. Next, pour in 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Add 3 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons (27 grams) of tapioca flour/starch and 1 tablespoon (8.5 grams) of nutritional yeast. Season the mixture with ½ teaspoon of sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Do not substitute any other type of flour or starch. The tapioca is the key to the gooey texture.
- Blend the ingredients until the cheese is smooth. This may take up to 5 minutes. Every so often, stop the food processor, and scrape any unblended mixture down the sides of the bowl and towards the bottom. Keep blending until everything is smooth.
- Don't be alarmed if the cheese is watery at this point. The next step will thicken it back up.
- Cook the cheese over medium-high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the cheese back into the small saucepan. Cook it over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn clumpy and gooey, about 5 to 6 minutes. The cheese may bubble at first, but then it will start to thicken.
- Serve the cheese hot, and store any leftovers in the fridge. This cheese makes a perfect dip for vegetables and pita chips. You can also pour it over a vegan pizza, and add your desired toppings. Refrigerate any leftover cheese in a covered container.
- Reheat the cheese over medium heat, stirring often. If it is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water at a time until it thins out.
- Enjoy the cheese within 2 to 3 days.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender instead.
- You can find nutritional yeast online and in health food stores.

| How to Write Stand Up Comedy Posted: 23 Apr 2022 09:00 AM PDT If your family and friends have told you that you are a funny person, you may have considered trying stand-up comedy. If you're interested, writing stand-up is definitely something you can learn to do! We've put together this article to provide you with answers to some of the most common questions people have about writing jokes. [Edit]How do I come up with stand-up comedy topics? - Get personal. Stand-up comedy is often more funny when the jokes are about personal issues, feelings, or opinions. Think of yourself as the main character in your act and use real life, personal experiences to help you come up with topics for your jokes.[1]
- Think about things you love, things you dislike, and things that annoy you.
- For example, if you have a love of Renaissance festivals, think about whether you always wear a costume that gets you funny looks in public or if there are certain "types" of people who attend the festivals that you could describe in a funny way.
- If you dislike subway rides, describe how annoying the subway is – people sitting too close, a couple making out in the corner, the one guy who always has his music playing without headphones.
- Build on a story. If you've already got a funny story you like to tell, use it for the base of your jokes. Build on it by telling jokes or other stories that are related.[2]
- For example, if you have a really funny story about going to a theme park, use that as your base story. Then write other jokes related to theme parks – they could be about the food, waiting in line, or dealing with kids.
- Use the news as inspiration. Look for news stories that strike you as particularly ridiculous or funny or outrageous. Then make it personal using the following formula: "X happened in the news. If I did that/if that happened to me..." and fill in the rest.[3]
- Not everything that comes out of this exercise will be funny, but you'll occasionally get some good stuff!
- For example, if you see a news story about politicians behaving badly, you could use that. You could start the joke by saying something like: "Senator Smith just spent $100,000 on a private plane for his wife. If I spent $100,000 on a private plane I'd have a plane but no wife."
[Edit]What are some stand-up comedy writing exercises? - Record your thoughts on the go. Carry a small notebook with you (or download a notes app to your smartphone) and take note of what you find funny. You might want to write down something someone says, or something that happens to you or someone else. It can be great material for a joke.[4]
- For example, if you see someone pushing a grocery cart into a store and almost trip and it makes you laugh, pull out your notebook and write down everything about the scene that made it funny, such as how the person looked and how they reacted to almost tripping.
- You can also record yourself saying jokes into your smartphone's voice recorder.
- Review everything you record at least once a week to retrieve your ideas.
- Write down everything you can think of about a certain topic. Don't try to force yourself to be funny, just write down whatever comes to mind. Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes and write until the timer goes off.[5]
- For example, choose the topic of travelling and write down as many funny thoughts, feelings, and stories you have about trips you've been on or travelling in general.
- Draft a few jokes based on your brainstorming. In your free-writing, you might have written down funny words, weird stories you forgot about, or even questions. All of these things can be the good foundation for jokes. Pick 1 or 2 things you like best and write out a joke based on them – your first draft should be about 250 words.[6]
- For example, if you wrote down a bunch of funny thoughts about travelling, pick 1-2 of the funniest ideas and expand them into full length jokes with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Make sure the jokes have obvious punchlines to get people laughing.
- You might start a joke by saying something like: "So I was on a plane to Mexico last week, and the lady next to me fell asleep and started to…"
[Edit]How do I write a stand-up comedy routine script? - Revise jokes to make them short enough to fit together in a routine. Once you've got some individual jokes drafted, cut them from 250 words to 100, then to 50, then to 25. This forces you to get to the nugget of what's funny in your jokes. It also helps you get rid of unnecessary context or buildup, which can distract your audience.[7]
- Comedian Jerry Seinfeld recommends compressing shorter jokes together because it helps the laughter build up. When people don't have time to stop laughing between jokes, the laughter in the room just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
- Come up with more similarly-themed jokes to fill in your routine script. Think about the topics your current jokes are about and then think of more funny emotions and images related to those topics. Write additional jokes around these ideas to fill in your comedy routine script.[8]
- For example, if you already have a couple of jokes about waiting in the lobby of the dentist's office, try to imagine what it looks like there and how it makes you feel to come up with a few more jokes that fit into your set.
- You could say something like: "By the way, what's with every dentist's office having a fish tank? How did that get started? Fish don't even have teeth!"
- Assemble your jokes into a logical sequence. Put similar jokes one after the other. Create connections between different jokes to string them together in a way that makes sense.[9]
- For example if you have 4-5 jokes about portable toilets, say those one after another, then lead into your story about a weird experience you had in an airport bathroom by saying something like: "Speaking of toilets, this one time I was in an airport bathroom and…" From there, you can move onto some more airport jokes or jokes about other public places.
[Edit]How do you structure a 5-minute set? - Tell 2-4 jokes in the first minute. Start with your second-best joke and from there continue to tell a few more of your shorter jokes. Unless you're a really well-known comic, the audience is going to be waiting to be impressed by you. To grab their attention and impress them right away, start your second-best joke. It's quick and easy and will make your audience laugh right away.[10]
- The more laughs you can get at the beginning of your set, the better your set can turn out. It's also a chance to establish your tone – are your jokes sarcastic, or self-deprecating? Do you deliver in a monotone or with a lot of energy? Let your audience get to know you as soon as possible.
- Try to keep your jokes under 45 seconds for the next 3 minutes. This keeps your audience engaged. If you have a great joke that's over 45 seconds long, make sure it's written to have a couple of punchlines along the way. That keeps your audience laughing and sets them up for the big punchline at the end.[11]
- The most important thing for the middle part of your set is that it flows. This is where having jokes in a logical order with good transitions between them is really helpful.
- End with your best joke in the last minute. You used your second best joke to open your set to get the audience laughing quickly, so now end your set with your best joke. You want to leave the audience laughing, and ending with your best joke will make your set more memorable.[12]
- When you're actually delivering your set in real life, don't forget to repeat your name and thank the audience before you walk off stage.
- You can also end by bringing back a punchline from earlier. For example, if you had a joke at the beginning of your set about spending Christmas with your mother-in-law, you can say something like: "And that's why I'll never go to my mother-in-law's for Christmas again!"
[Edit]How do I improve my comedy writing? - Practice jokes in front of small audiences. This is a great way for amateur comedians to get a feel for what works and what doesn't work. Gather a few friends or family members together or go to a small open mic night and deliver a set to your audience. Watch carefully how people react to each joke.[13]
- A good thing about practicing in front of people you know before you move onto comedy events is that you can ask them for feedback, too.
- Move on from jokes that don't work. If you tell a joke that bombs – no one laughs and the audience is just staring at you (or worse yet, they boo) – shake it off and move on. If you get too caught up in one joke failing, the rest of your jokes might also fail because you're delivering them with the same energy or personality. Every comic bombs from time to time – it's okay![14]
- As you perform your comedy more, you start to learn when a joke isn't going to work in real time by watching your audience's reactions. Then, you can cut the joke short or modify it to try and get a laugh. This is called "editing on the fly."
- Work on shaping your comedic persona. Creating a unique comedic persona, or style, for yourself makes it easier to write jokes. Try to determine what your style is and focus your joke writing on writing from this point of view.[15]
- For instance, maybe you're a shy, self-deprecating type of guy, or perhaps you're a self-confident girl who doesn't take you-know-what from anyone.
- If you decide your persona is going to be making fun of yourself, you can start jokes with things like: "So the other day I confirmed what I've known for a while now – I'm really bad at sports."

| How to Knit a Scarf on a Loom Posted: 23 Apr 2022 01:00 AM PDT Knitting looms create neat looking garments without the hassle of using knitting needles, counting stitches, and using knitting patterns. You can easily make a scarf with a knitting loom, and it is a great project for beginners. Try making a scarf for yourself or as a gift for a friend! [Edit]Casting Onto the Loom - Collect materials and tools for making the scarf. To knit a scarf on a loom, a few special materials and tools are needed:[1]
- A rectangular loom. 24 peg loom or larger - only the first 24 pegs (top and bottom combined) of any loom will be used. Place the loom on a table or other sturdy surface. This makes weaving a scarf with a loom easier.
- Yarn. Use a super bulky yarn or two strands of medium worsted weight yarn held together.
- Loom tool. This is a hook that comes with the loom. If you do not have a loom tool, use a crochet hook instead.
- Scissors.
- Tapestry or yarn needle.
- Make a slipstitch. To start making a scarf on a loom, make a slipstitch. Loop the yarn around the fingers twice, and pull the first loop over the second loop. Keep the loop on the fingers and tighten it by pulling on the tail of the yarn.[2]
- Tighten the slipstitch around an anchor peg. The anchor peg is on the side with one at each end of a rectangular loom. Loop the slipstitch around this peg and pull the tail to tighten it and hold it in place.[3]
- Wrap the yarn around the first peg of the lower row. The lower row is the row closest to you. Enter the loom through the middle, between the two rows of pegs. Wrap the yarn around the inside of the first peg on the lower row of the loom. Bring the yarn clockwise around the outside of the peg and back in towards the center. The yarn should form an upside-down cursive letter "e" around the peg.
- Wrap the peg tightly to maintain tension. This keeps the finished scarf looking neat.
- Wrap first peg on the upper row. Bring the yarn up towards first peg in the upper row. Wrap the yarn anticlockwise around the outside of the peg and back in towards the center. A figure eight shape forms between the upper and lower pegs.[4]
- Wrap the yarn in a figure eight fashion. Continue wrapping the yarn around the pegs, repeating the sequence used for the first two pegs. Do this until all but the last peg on the upper row is wrapped.[5]
- Loop the yarn around last peg in the opposite direction. On the last peg, wrap the yarn around the peg in the opposite direction. Bring the yarn straight up from the bottom peg, and then around the peg.[6]
- Hold end of the yarn taut with fingers.
- This will set up for completing the next round of wrapping.
[Edit]Working the Loops Off the Loom - Press down on the stitches. Before wrapping in the opposite direction, press down on the yarn between the pegs with the side of the hand. This moves the loops down on the pegs and creates room to loop the yarn around each of the pegs again.[7]
- There should be some resistance when pressing down on the yarn. This indicates good tension, which will result in a neat looking finished scarf. If the yarn feels loose or has already slid to the peg bottom on its own, then the pegs are not wrapped tightly enough. In this case, you may need to start over.
- Wrap the yarn around the stitches again. Each peg (except for the last peg wrapped) will need to have two loops on it before working the loops off the loom. To make a second pass, bring the yarn down from the last peg wrapped and around it in the same direction as the yarn from the previous pass. Bring the yarn up to the next peg moving back towards the beginning of the loom.[8]
- Loop last peg in the opposite direction. Keep wrapping the yarn around the pegs in the same direction as first round of loops until the last peg (the first peg wrapped on the first pass). Wrap this peg from the opposite direction.[9]
- After wrapping the last peg, hold the yarn in place with fingers or wrap it around the anchor peg on this side of the loom.
- Use loom tool to lift bottom loops over top loops. When each peg in the row is wrapped twice (except for last peg on upper end of the loom) begin working the bottom row of loops off the loom. Insert loom tool through the bottom loop on the last peg in lower row. Bring the loop up and over the other loop on the peg to knit it.[10]
- After knitting the first loop on the lower row, repeat for the bottom loop on the upper row. Return to the lower row going back and forth to knit the loops until the end of the row.
- When finished working the first round of loops off the loom, only one stitch is on each of the pegs.
- Repeat process to the desired length. Continue the process of wrapping the yarn around the pegs and working back and forth across rows to knit the loops. Continue until scarf is the length desired.[11]
- After a few rows, knit material comes through the bottom of the loom. Measure the knitted material to determine where the scarf will end.
- Four rows creates 1" (2.5 cm) of knit material. For a scarf five feet long or 60" (152 cm), knit about 240 rows on the loom.
[Edit]Binding Off - Lay the working yarn across the center of the loom. When scarf length is reached, bind it off. Bind off by working from right to left after knitting a row of loops and there is one loop on each peg. Lay the working yarn across the middle of the loom.[12]
- Lift stitch off the last upper peg. With loom tool, lift the loop off of the upper peg. Keep this loop on the loom tool.[13]
- A crochet hook can be used for this part. This can be easier than using the loom tool because the crochet hook has a curved end.
- Lift stitch off the last lower peg with loom tool. Bring loom tool with upper peg loop still on it over to the lower peg. Lift the loop off from the lower peg and onto the tool. Two loops are on the loom tool or hook.[14]
- Move the upper peg stitch. With finger, bring the upper peg stitch over the lower peg stitch. Slide upper peg stitch off of the end of the tool or hook. Only one loop is on the hook.[15]
- One or both of the loops can slide off the hook if using the loom tool for this part, which is why using a crochet hook is easier.
- Work back and forth to bind off the entire row. After knitting the first loop, go to the next peg on the upper row and pick up the loop onto the tool or hook. Slide the first loop over the second loop again.[16]
- Bind off loops in this fashion until the end of the loom is reached.
- Pull the working yarn through the last loop. At the end of the row the last loop from the loom is knitted. Loop the working yarn around the loom tool or hook and pull it through the second loop on the tool or hook. Pull to create a large loop and cut the loop in the center. Remove the loose yarn and pull the tail to secure the end of the scarf.
- Weave in the ends. After creating the end tail, weave it into the end of the scarf to hide it and secure it. Thread the yarn through the eye of a tapestry or yarn needle. Use the needle to weave the yarn through the edge of the scarf. Bring the yarn through each of the stitches on the end of the scarf pulling the yarn taut each time.

| How to Clean a Silver Necklace Posted: 22 Apr 2022 05:00 PM PDT Cleaning a silver necklace at home is as simple as gathering a few simple items, such as a microfiber cloth and some dish soap or baking soda. However, while some jewelry can be easily cleaned at home, you should leave other pieces up to the professionals, such as antique silver, fragile necklaces, and necklaces with precious stones in them. When cleaning at home, you can start with the soap and baking soda to methods, then try other methods like the toothpaste method and the aluminum bath. [Edit]Using Soap and Water - Use a cloth that doesn't scratch. A microfiber cloth or a jewelry-polishing cloth are ideal for polishing your necklace. These cloths won't scratch your jewelry like paper towels or even tissues can. You want something soft and lint-free for polishing.[1]
- If you need to get into small areas, try a cotton swab.
- Start with a bit of soap. If your silver necklace is only mildly tarnished, you can start by using a bit of dish soap. In a cup of warm water, add a few drops of the soap. Stir it up, then wet your cloth with the solution to start polishing your necklace.[2]
- Rub along the grain. You may think the ideal polishing motion is circular. However, that can actually scratch up your silver. A better idea is to rub back and forth, making sure to go along the grain of the metal, which is less likely to scratch it.[3]
- With the chain, you may need to gently rub it between two fingers, using the cloth.
- Continue to move to clean sections of the cloth, so you're not adding tarnish back on to the necklace.
- You can also use a clean soft-bristled toothbrush for detailed areas, though try not to brush too hard.
- Avoid intentionally oxidized details. In some cases, the person who made the necklace may have let certain parts of the jewelry darken to highlight details. If you have a piece like that, you need to avoid polishing those areas so you don't lose some of the beauty of your piece.[4]
[Edit]Using Other Polishes - Try other polishes. If your jewelry is more tarnished, you may need to get actual jewelry polish to clean the necklace. Alternatively, you can make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it into the necklace as a polish.[5]
- Another option is half a cup of lemon juice with a tablespoon of olive oil.[6]
- You can also use toothpaste. The ingredient in the toothpaste that polishes the silver is hydrated silica, so look for that ingredient; tartar control toothpastes will have more of this ingredient. However, whatever you use on your teeth is likely fine for silver,[7] though gel varieties likely won't work as well.[8]
- Apply the paste. Put a small dab of the paste on the necklace. If you have precious or semi-precious stones on your necklace, this method may not be the best one, though you can try to avoid the stone. Just a pea-sized dab should be enough, and you can always add more later.[9]
- Scrub the silver. For this part, you can start out just using your fingers, if you'd like, though only do so if you're using a natural paste; grab a microfiber cloth if you're using professional silver polish. Rub the paste into the silver, including the chain if it's also tarnished. Basically, it's like your rubbing soap into the silver, but you're using a paste instead.[10] You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush (one you're not going to brush with!), but you can end up scratching it if you try to brush too hard.[11]
- Rinse the silver. Once the tarnish is mostly gone, run the necklace under water. Carefully wash off all the paste, as any left on will look funny. You can repeat the process, as well, if you didn't manage to get all the tarnish off.[12]
[Edit]Trying the Aluminum Bath Method - Set up the bath. Start with an aluminum pie plate or a bowl with aluminum foil covering the inside. Add a tablespoon (15 milliliters) of salt to the plate. Next, add a tablespoon of either water softener powder OR baking soda.[13]
- While some people use this method on necklaces with precious or semi-precious stones, it could cause damage, so it's better not to risk it if it is valuable. Similarly, it's best not to try this method on antique or fragile silver.
- This process will remove all the tarnish, including decorative oxidized areas (black areas put in place to create a design).
- You can also add 1/2 a cup (118 milliliters) of white vinegar at this point. Keep in mind, vinegar will cause the baking soda to react, so watch for overflow.[14]
- Create the solution. Next, pour in hot water. A cup (237 milliliters) or so will be enough. It should be close to boiling, but it doesn't need to be boiling. Stir the water, making sure the salt and baking soda are fully dissolved into it.[15]
- Let the necklace soak in the solution. Once the solution is ready, put the necklace in the solution. It should be touching the aluminum, so that the tarnish will move from the silver to the aluminum. Let it soak for a couple of minutes. You can do a bit more if the necklace is especially tarnished.[16]
- Remove the necklace. Use tongs or a fork to take the necklace out. With a microfiber, polish any areas on the necklace that need a bit more work. Be gentle with more fragile areas. Dry the piece off, and put it away.[17]
- Avoid contact with chemicals like lotions, makeups, and perfumes, as those items can increase tarnishing. Don't spray or apply these items on your neck when you have your necklace on.[18]
[Edit]Warnings - Consider taking antique or fragile pieces to a professional cleaner who will be more experienced in the cleaning process.[19]

| How to Add More Calcium to Smoothies Posted: 22 Apr 2022 09:00 AM PDT Calcium is an essential nutrient for the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It is especially important for young people who are still growing and for people with osteoporosis or other bone conditions. You can add calcium to your smoothies by choosing recipes that incorporate a variety of calcium rich foods such as chia seeds, almond butter and kale. In addition, you can add calcium rich foods or liquids to your favorite smoothie recipes.[1] [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Orange Sunrise Smoothie - 2 handfuls baby kale (approximately 1 cup of kale)[2]
- 1 orange
- 11 ounces of coconut water
- 1 pitted nectarine
- 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds
- 1/2 cup of ice cubes
[Edit]Funky Monkey Smoothie[3] - 2 handfuls of baby spinach (approximately 1 cup of spinach)[4]
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon of cacao nibs
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 Persian cucumber
- 2 tablespoons of almond butter
- 1 cup of water
[Edit]Beets and Greens Smoothie[5] - One scrubbed, chopped beet
- One handful of collard greens (approximately one cup of collard greens)
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- One Persian cucumber
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed
- 1 cup of coconut water
[Edit]Calcium Fortifications - Calcium fortified juice (e.g., orange or grapefruit juice)
- Almond milk
- Non-fat, calcium fortified milk
- Plain yogurt
- Chia seeds
- Almond butter
- Papaya
- Kale
- Spinach
[Edit]Starting With Calcium Rich Recipes - Figure out how much calcium you need. Taking your current age and gender into account, you should figure out how much calcium you need to consume per day. When you plan your meals, you should consider this recommended daily value. In general, the recommended daily value of calcium is 1,000 mg. This is the number that is used when companies list the percentage of recommended daily value for calcium is included in their products. This information should be included on the nutrition facts label of the product. However, the amount of calcium you consume should also be considered in relation to your age and gender:[6]
- If you are 1-3 years of age, you should consume 700 mg per day.
- If you are between 4 – 8 years of age, you should consume 1,000 mg per day.
- If you are between 9 – 18 years of age, you should consume 1,300 mg per day.
- If you are between 19 – 50 years of age, you should consume 1,000 mg per day.
- If you are over between 50 years of age, you should consume 1,200 mg per day.[7]
- Make an orange sunrise smoothie. Chop up your fruits and vegetables. Discard the excess seeds and skin in the compost or, if you don't have one, put it in the garbage. Add the kale, orange, coconut water, pitted nectarine, chia seeds and half a cup of ice cubes to your blender. Blend for a minute or until the drink looks completely smooth and blended. Serve the smoothie, which contains approximately 35% of your daily calcium requirements and works great for breakfast.[8]
- It contains one cup of raw kale, which contains 9% of your daily calcium requirements.[9]
- It also has chia seeds, which accounts for 10% of your calcium requirements, and one orange, which accounts for another 5%[10]
- It has a nectarine containing approximately 9mg of calcium and 11 ounces of coconut water, which add up to another 11% of daily calcium requirements.[11]
- Mix a funky monkey. Chop all of your fruits and vegetables. Add the spinach, banana, cacao nibs, ice, Persian cucumber, almond butter and water to your blender. Mix and serve this funky monkey smoothie, which contains approximately 17% of your daily calcium requirements.
- The almond butter will give you 8% of your daily calcium requirements.[12]
- The cup of spinach will give you about 4% of your daily calcium requirements.[13]
- The cucumber will give you about 3% of your calcium requirements.[14]
- The banana will give you about 1% of your calcium requirements.[15]
- The cacao nibs will give you another 1% of your calcium requirements.[16]
- Enjoy a beets and greens smoothie. Scrub and then chop up your beet. Peel and chop your cucumber and your lemon. Clean and then chop up the collard greens. Add a scrubbed and chopped beet, a handful of collard greens, one tablespoon of chia seeds, a Persian cucumber, half a lemon and a cup of coconut water to a blend. Mix and serve this delicious beets and greens smoothie, which contains approximately 22.5% of your daily calcium requirements.[17]
- The cup of collard greens will give you 5% of your daily calcium requirements.[18]
- The beet should give you at least 1% of your daily calcium requirements.[19]
- The chia seeds account for 10% of your calcium requirements.[20]
- The cucumber will give you about 3% of your calcium requirements.[21]
- The half lemon will give you another 3.5% of your calcium requirements.[22]
[Edit]Adding Additional Calcium - Use kale in your smoothie. Consider adding a cup or two of kale to your favorite smoothie. You might want to try adding kale to a pineapple, strawberry or other sweet, fruity smoothie. If you are unfamiliar with the taste of kale, you should try eating it raw in a salad first. Gradually increase the amount of kale you put in your smoothie until you have a good balance of taste and calcium intake.
- Two cups of chopped, raw kale contains 18% of your daily value of calcium.[23]
- Add spinach to your smoothie. Add some spinach to your favorite smoothie. Although not quite as loaded with calcium as kale, spinach has considerable calcium content. Consider adding spinach to a fruit smoothie with oranges, pineapples, or apples.
- Two cups of spinach contains 8% of your daily value of calcium.[24]
- Throw some chia seeds in your smoothie. Chia seeds are packed with healthy fats, protein, carbohydrates and calcium. They have a nutty taste. If you add a couple tablespoons to your smoothie, you won't alter the flavor profile too much.[25]
- An ounce of chia seeds has about 18% of your daily value of calcium.[26]
- Put whole almonds or almond butter in your smoothie. Almonds contain lots of protein, healthy fats, fiber and plenty of vitamins including calcium. They are found in a number of healthy snacks, such as almond butter, and can be added to smoothies. You can either use whole almonds or almond butter.[27]
- If you want an added dose of calcium and protein in your morning smoothie, add almond butter.
- One tablespoon of almond butter contains about 4% of your daily calcium requirements.[28]
- Try a papaya in your smoothie. A papaya is a great addition to your smoothie. It has lots of calcium, vitamin A and C. In addition, it has plenty of carbohydrates, a tiny bit of protein and no fat.[29]
- One papaya has about 7% of your daily calcium requirements.[30]
[Edit]Fortifying Your Smoothie with Calcium - Use fortified juice in your smoothie. If you want to stick to your existing smoothie recipes but increase the calcium content, you could try adding a fortified calcium drink as the smoothie base. Consider adding half a cup of orange or grapefruit juice that has been fortified with calcium. Depending on the brand, you should get an additional 17% of your daily calcium value.[31]
- You could use a fortified juice instead of water in the funky monkey smoothie. This would increase the calcium content in this smoothie, which would then give you approximately 34% of your daily calcium requirement.
- Use almond milk as your smoothie base. Consider using half a cup of almond milk as the base of your smoothie. Instead of water or juice, use almond milk to fortify the calcium content of your smoothie.
- 240 grams of almond milk contains about 45% of your daily recommended value for calcium.[32].
- If you do not like the taste of coconut water, you could use almond milk in the beets and greens or the orange sunrise smoothie.
- Use calcium fortified milk as your smoothie base. Milk is very rich in calcium and you can find calcium fortified milk which contains additional calcium. You should consider adding half a cup of milk as a base to your smoothie. It will give you calcium as well as protein, carbohydrates, vitamin A and C.[33]
- A cup of calcium fortified, non-fat milk contains 50% of your daily recommended value of calcium.
- If you used calcium fortified milk in place of water in the funky monkey smoothie, you would be getting 67% of your daily calcium value.
- If you are lactose intolerant, consider using almond milk or juice instead.
- Add yogurt to your smoothie. Yogurt tastes delicious in fruit smoothies. Consider adding half a cup to your favorite smoothie. It will make your smoothie a little thicker, so you may need to add a couple tablespoons of water to get the right consistency, depending on the other ingredients in your smoothie.
- A cup of plain yogurt contains about 30% of your daily recommended value of calcium.[34]
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Blender.
- Cutting board.
- Knives.
- Ice cube tray.

| How to Cook in a Cast Iron Skillet Posted: 22 Apr 2022 01:00 AM PDT Though it takes a bit longer to heat up, cast iron will diffuse heat quite well and retain heat extremely well. While other pans will lose heat when you place food in them, cast iron skillets will not. Since heat fluctuates less, use a cast iron skillet to cook dishes that need consistent high heat. Further, seasoned skillets will sear and brown foods without allowing the food to stick to the skillet's surface. Take note of the particular advantages offered by cast iron, and always be sure to wash you pan carefully after each use.[1][2] [Edit]Cooking Certain Foods in Cast Iron - Sear meat in your skillet. One of your skillet's greatest assets is its ability to give meats a high sear without scorching them. For instance, steak and roasts come out great. Slowly heat the pan over a constant flame by turning a burner on low, and periodically increasing the flame size every few minutes. Once the burner is on high, add a piece of steak and cook until its surface is deep brown. This will happen before any burnt, black bits accumulate in the pan. Searing times will vary based on the type of meat you're cooking.[3]
- Similarly, sear the outer edges of a meatloaf before depositing the skillet in the oven to bake, per a specific recipe.
- Burgers cooked on cast iron will also develop a crispy, delicious crust along the entire outer surface - not just the grill rack. [4]
- Larger steaks will admittedly fit better on a grill, but you can cut them into smaller portions to fit into your skillet.[5]
- Roast or char veggies perfectly. You can use your cast iron as a small wok, another type of dish prized for the ability to retain heat. The key to a great stir-fry is a hot enough skillet to crisp the rice and meat, but doing so in a time frame that allows the veggies to retain a desirable crunch. Cook to whatever level of roast or char your prefer.[6]
- More specifically, your veggies will get that perfect, golden hue and crispy exterior layer by coming into direct contact with the steadily high heat of a cast iron surface.
- Fry eggs in your cast iron. Once your skillet is well-seasoned, it will cook some prime fried eggs. However, hold off on eggs until you can easily clean your skillet simply by wiping it with a towel. This indicates it is seasoned well enough to cook eggs and prevent them from sticking.[7]
- Watch out cooking scrambled eggs or frittatas on cast iron, as they are more likely to stick than other dishes.
- Bake the perfect crust. Frankly, proper corn bread should only ever be cooked on cast iron. As with all cast iron dishes, preheat the skillet first over a slowly increasing flame while the oven gets up to temp. Note the sizzle of the skillet as you pour in the batter - that's the sound of crunchy golden crust developing quite nicely.[8]
- Since cast iron excels at evenly distributing heat (once heated), the surface is perfect for creating an evenly-textured crust on baked goods generally.[9]
[Edit]Cooking Wisely with Cast Iron - Preheat your skillet. Never place food in your cast iron before heating the skillet up first. Doing so will likely cause the food to stick. Preheat slowly, and be aware that the skillet will heat unevenly until the whole thing becomes extremely hot. Start preheating on a low heat and slowly increase to medium-low, than medium, and so on over the course of a few minutes. This will allow you to control the level of heat in the skillet itself if you want to stop short of searing temperature.[10]
- Note the effect on your iron intake. The food you cook in your cast iron skillet will have higher iron content. This comes directly from the skillet itself, so the longer food is in the skillet, the more iron it will absorb.[11] While iron is an essential nutrient, it can be dangerous to consume too much. That said, eating from a cast iron skillet will usually only add a few mg of iron to your meal.
- Cook fish carefully. There are better options for cooking fish, such as tilapia, that has a high likelihood of breaking apart if it partially sticks to your skillet. If you do want to cook fish in your skillet, opt for a thicker cut, and cook it skin-side down.[12]
- As a caveat, cast iron skillets offer perhaps the best way to blacken the outer edge of a cut of fish while leaving the inside moist and tender. Preheat the skillet for a full five minutes on a constant flame before putting the fish in the pan. You can perfectly sear scallops in this manner as well.[13]
- Cook only what you'll want to taste again. There is another reason you may not want to cook fish in your skillet: your skillet will take on flavor from the dishes you cook in it. This could be problematic if you follow a fish dinner with a fruit cobbler, because desert may taste a bit too much like the main course.[14]
- If you want to cook both savory and sweet dishes regularly, consider getting separate cast iron skillets for each purpose. You can make one work, but be sure to give a solid salt-scrub and a re-seasoning before baking something after a differently-flavored dish.
[Edit]Caring for Your Cast Iron Skillet - Clean the skillet immediately after using. After plating your meal, rinse the skillet with hot water. To remove any cooked-on food, try using a kitchen towel or nonmetal brush with a mild abrasive, like coarse salt. Do so while the pan is still warm. The goal is to preserve the nonstick surface a "seasoned" pan has built up. If necessary, use a few drops of a mild dish soap on a sponge - but only do so occasionally. Never bleach your skillet or wash it in a dishwasher.[15][16]
- Never allow your skillet to soak. In short, scour, rinse, and dry the pan as soon as is convenient after cooking.
- Use steel wool only to remove any coating that becomes sticky, or to remove any rust deposits as soon as they develop. Re-season the pan in these scenarios.
- If you're serving directly from the skillet, be sure to clean it immediately following your meal. Never allow anything wet, such as a fruit pie or frittata, to be served from the skillet. Transfer the food to another dish and wash the skillet immediately.[17]
- Dry the skillet thoroughly.[18] Your skillet's greatest enemy is rust. The greatest risk of developing rust is related to insufficient drying after cleaning. There are several theories about the best way to dry a cast iron skillet. At a bare minimum, thoroughly wipe down the inside and outside of the skillet with a dry towel.[19]
- Designate one of your kitchen towels to be used exclusively to dry your cast iron. This will prevent other towels from getting heavily smudged, and will ensure you're not dirtying your pan with unknown towel contaminants.
- Re-season your skillet.[20] Every couple times you wash your skillet, wipe down the well of the skillet with fat, such as flaxseed oil or lard after drying. This will likely be enough to keep your seasoned skillet's non-stick surface in good shape. In those cases where you have to remove some of the coating to remove stickiness or a bit of rust, do a more involved re-seasoning.[21]
- Apply a film of fatty material - ideally flaxseed oil - to the entire surface of the pan, inside and out. Bake the pan at 350˚ for one hour, with foil or a baking pan on the rack beneath it to catch drips. Allow the pan to cool completely in the oven.
- A teaspoon of flaxseed oil is plenty for a 10-12in (25-30cm) skillet. Apply whenever the skillet looks visibly dry.[22]
- Store cast iron carefully. Putting away other pans that are still wet may wind up getting water on your cast iron and causing rust. Prevent this by storing your cast iron separately, perhaps by hanging it up. If you do store your skillet with other cookware, place a sheet of paper towel in the well of your skillet to collect any water that sneaks into it.[23]
- Always let the skillet cool to room temperature - in part to absorb any added oil - before putting it away.[24]
- Do not boil water in your skillet. This is pretty much the only thing you shouldn't ever use a cast iron skillet for. Boiling water will increase the likelihood of your pan rusting, the cast iron worst case scenario.[25]
