Colorful string Scissors Tape-measure Safety pin or tape The leg of your pants A binder The table A pillow Be sure to hold your two center strings as straight and tight as possible. This will make tying the knots easier because it will keep them out of the way of your staircase. If you notice that a knot isn’t sitting correctly, you can easily undo it. However, this gets more and more difficult because your staircase gets tighter as you go; so pay attention and catch the mistake early....

Be careful with male dwellers who have high stats in Charisma. They can easily impregnate their partners, and before you know it, your shelter will be overrun by babies. Initially, you will want only one male dweller to father the babies in your vault to make it easier to identify them later on. Although pregnant dwellers can still work, you’ll need to assign 1-2 male dwellers to work with them. Since the game won’t allow you to equip them with weapons/arms to defend themselves, they’ll be at a disadvantage when your vault gets attacked....

If you want to warm up your oven faster, turn it on the broil setting first, which creates super intense heat. Then switch it to the regular bake setting before you put the cookies in. For an alternative to vegetable oil, melt 1/2 cup (115 g) of butter. You can also substitute a different type of oil, like olive or canola oil. If you want a lower fat option, use 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of applesauce instead of the oil....

Calendula oil is made with just the flower of the plant. Pick the flowers right under the bloom, below the base of the flower which holds the petals. You should pick calendula flowers as they bloom, collecting them over the course of a week or two. This will assure that the blooms are picked when they are in the best condition. [3] X Research source You can make the oil with a few or a lot of calendula flowers....

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours. Wash any surfaces that touched raw chicken, including your hands. Don’t leave your chicken out for more than thirty minutes. If you do, the chicken may go bad. Add a teaspoon of paprika or cayenne for a spicy kick. [4] X Research source For Cajun fried chicken, add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, and 5 dashes of Louisiana hot sauce....

For example, you can paint a dark pair of shorts to look like a galaxy or the night sky. Use an old toothbrush lightly dipped in paint to flick speckles of white or silver paint onto your shorts. Smudge on blues and purples to complete the effect. You can also use a stencil to add a pattern or design to your shorts. Make your own stencil or buy one from a local craft store and then use spray paint to add the design in whatever sections or pattern you prefer....

You can tell if a vanilla bean is good quality by smelling it. You should be able to smell the vanilla. Don’t be fooled by the plumpness of the bean – a plump bean doesn’t automatically equal more flavor, it may just have a high water content. If the bean smells smoky, this means the bean was not left to dry out properly, rather it was quickly flash dried over a fire....

Whatever tortilla you use, lay it on a plate or clean cutting board and arrange the contents on top of it. Warm the tortilla in a pan with a bit of oil, if you want it warm. Generally, use meats or seafood. Seafood tends to have more of a delicate flavor and texture that can be overwhelmed by heavier meats. Try lettuce of all kinds, spinach, sprouts, chopped bell pepper (cooked or raw), broccoli (steam it lightly if you prefer), tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, and anything else you like....

Your dog may pant for a few minutes or a few hours after giving birth, which is normal. She’s just tired and trying to cool her body down. You may see leaking fluids, called lochia, for several weeks after giving birth. These fluids are natural and normal, resulting from the shedding of your dog’s uterine lining. Healthy lochia should be odorless, and may range in color from greenish-brown to blood-red. If your dog hasn’t licked her pups clean within a few minutes of birth, wipe the puppies’ face and nostrils with a damp, clean cloth to remove the placental sac....

Frozen grated ube: Leave it at room temperature until it thaws, then press it hard to squeeze out water. Pour out the water. Make it extra sweet with a second can of condensed milk instead of the coconut milk....

Many cultures have riddle traditions. Viking and Anglo-Saxon riddles are still very popular with English speakers, even though they were first told more than a thousand years ago! These riddles often have simple solutions such as “key” or “onion,” but are told in a creative way. You can find many collections online. [1] X Research source Riddles are also quite popular in modern fantasy literature, movies, and TV. J. R. R....

Remember to order your materials in advance if you won’t be gathering them yourself, since the demand for sawdust and wood is very high. Many people who make smaller batches of pellets also order excess raw plant material from local farmers to use in their wood pellets. This includes items like branches or the stalks and leaves of dead plants. Some wood chippers won’t let you choose the size that you want the chips to be....

Inexpensive olive oil will be fine for this remedy. Rub your hands together for several minutes, making sure all your skin is covered. After you’ve rubbed your hands well, gently rinse with water. Cup your palm and pour about teaspoon of the mixture into your palm. Rub your hands together. Make sure the mixture covers the palm as well as the back of your hands. Work the mixture well between your fingers....

Make sure that you take the labels off. Use soap and warm water to clean off any residue. Wipe the bottles clean with rubbing alcohol afterwards. Use a strong glue, such as super glue or epoxy glue. Regular school glue or hot glue will not be strong enough. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you with this step. Some caps have a plastic disk inside them. This can make drilling the hole difficult....

20 x 30 inch (51 x 76 centimeter) tissue paper sheets will make a ball slightly larger than your head. [1] X Research source 10 x 5 in. (25 x 12 cm) sheets make roughly fist-sized balls. [2] X Research source If you’re using small sheets of tissue paper, make roughly ½ in. (2. 5 cm) folds instead. You should be able to make at least 16 folds (eight forward, eight back)....

Any standard salt you have in your kitchen will work. Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and makes the ice colder. It may take longer for your bottles to freeze depending on the size of your freezer. Spread the bottles out so they don’t block any of the fan’s airstream. Put the bottles on a small table in front of a standing fan. Don’t use the oscillation setting on your fan if it has one....

Avocado seeds are quite large. You should be able to feel the seed pressing up against the blade of your knife when you slice through. Once you’ve successfully extracted the seed, stick the rest of the avocado in an airtight food storage container or plastic baggie and try to use it within a day or two. For a spotless shine, you can also scrub the seed with a soft-bristled vegetable brush....
