Place your spinach in ice water to stop it from overcooking. Fill a bowl up with ice as the spinach cooks and cover the ice in cold water. Then, dump your spinach into the ice water after it finishes cooking. This helps preserve the bright green color of your fresh spinach as well as maximize the spinach flavor and nutrient content. 5
Pour your spinach into a strainer to get rid of the water. Immediately after your spinach is finished cooking, dump the contents of your container into a strainer.

Method 3
of 3: Using Your Blanched Spinach
1
Use your spinach immediately if desired. After you remove the excess water, it is ready to serve. Eat your spinach plain as a healthy side, or make delicious recipes with your spinach, such as palak paneer or a spinach salad. Once you blanch your spinach, it will look much smaller than it did when you started out. A large bag of spinach turns into a palm-sized ball. 2
Refrigerate your spinach in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Freeze your spinach to keep it for up to 1 year. If you want to freeze your spinach, place it into a large freezer bag, and squeeze out any air. Then, stick it in the freezer. Plan use your spinach within 10-12 months. To cook with your frozen spinach, simply remove it from the freezer and thaw it for 1-2 hours in the fridge.

Question
Will boiling spinach destroy the nutrients? Community Answer
Nutrients definitely remain in spinach after boiling, but some do leach into the cooking liquid. The less time spent boiling, the more nutrients are conserved. Steaming vegetables allows them to retain more nutrients.

Help your child develop a positive self-image. Help them to appreciate the good things about themselves. Being confident is about having self-esteem. By believing in them, they are more likely to believe in themselves. Confidence from adults boosts a child's self-image because they often look up to adults, who are their role models.[1] XResearch source
Use verbal and non verbal cues to impart confidence in your children. For example, when you see them working hard a homework assignment, say "I know it's tough, but you can get through it. Take it one step at a time." Or if they showed organizational skills by putting away toys when you didn't need to ask, give a thumbs up or a high-five and say, "Awesome. Thank you for taking initiative and putting away the toys yourself."

Say words of encouragement that are specific. Praising beyond their performance or accomplishments is the best way to raise confident children.

Title:
Headings:
Content: Focus your encouragement by pointing out what specific characteristics or actions they are displaying that are good. Make sure the words of encouragement focus on things that the child can control in their own behavior.[2] XResearch source
Focus the encouragement based on the character trait you want your child to develop. For instance, if your child was honest about breaking something, explain that there will be consequences for breaking the item, but that you are proud of them for telling the truth and taking responsibility. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c1\/Build-Children%27s-Confidence-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Build-Children%27s-Confidence-Step-3-Version-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c1\/Build-Children%27s-Confidence-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/aid398166-v4-728px-Build-Children%27s-Confidence-Step-3-Version-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Help your child to cope with failing. No one is immune to failure or loss at some point. Help your child to learn self-compassion through encouragement. Children need to learn resilience despite failures so that they can be able to recover from problems. Encourage your child to understand that setbacks area part of life and can be overcome. Be a positive motivator for your child, rather than focusing on their faults.[3] XTrustworthy SourceChild Mind InstituteNonprofit organization providing evidence-based care for children with mental health and learning disorders and their familiesGo to source
Your child's self-worth should not be measured by their performance alone.

Inspect your dog's teeth. Look at the stage and condition of the teeth. Determine what stage the teeth are at. Puppies will usually have all of their baby teeth by the time they are 8 weeks old and should have all of their permanent teeth by the time they are 6 to 7 months old. They start getting their permanent canine teeth, the longest ones, usually right at 6 months old, which makes this the easiest time to accurately age a puppy. If they have all of their permanent teeth and they are white and clean, they could be up to 1 1/2 to 2 years, but probably around 1 year old. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/18\/Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-3-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-3-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/18\/Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-3-Version-3.jpg\/aid1338936-v4-728px-Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-3-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Assess the condition of the teeth. Between the ages of 1 and 2 years old, many dogs will start to show some yellowing on their back teeth.

Content: Tartar buildup starts shortly after this. Most dogs will start to show wear on their incisors, the teeth along the front of their mouth, between 3 and 5 years. The wear on the teeth will gradually increase as your dog ages. Significant tartar build-up with evidence of gum disease (look for red, inflamed gums) can be seen after they are 5 years old. Missing teeth usually means that the dog is a senior and could use some dental care. The stage and condition of the teeth can help to give you a good estimate of your dog's age, but remember that there are many factors besides age that can affect their appearance including breed, genetics, chewing behavior, and history of dental care. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/ed\/Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-4-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-4-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ed\/Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-4-Version-2.jpg\/aid1338936-v4-728px-Calculate-Dog-Years-Step-4-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Assess your dog's size and growth. If your dog is continuing to grow, then he is less than 1 1/2 to 2 years old, depending on overall size. Small dogs have reached their full height and length by around one year of age, but large and especially giant breed dogs may take until they are 18 months to 2 years old.

Content: It is completely free to download Skype and set up a basic account. The fee for using Skype to call a phone number is generally cheaper than a regular phone call. Be sure to check with your service provider anyway to best keep track of all potential costs. Though some countries have restrictions on Skype use, none of them are in Europe. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/72\/Call-Europe-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Call-Europe-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/72\/Call-Europe-Step-6.jpg\/aid10888527-v4-728px-Call-Europe-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Download WhatsApp and make calls to Europe for free. WhatsApp uses your phone’s internet connection instead of your cellular plan, meaning you can call anyone in the world without extra charges if you are connected to the internet. The app is free to download and gives you the option of doing a video call or a voice call. If you can’t find an internet connection, data charges may apply to your WhatsApp call. WhatsApp allows you to talk with up to three other people at once, but only as a voice call.

Expose a section of a tunnel. Use a gardening tool to carve out a section of the tunnel. Before you place the trap in the exposed section, pack down the dirt at the bottom of the tunnel so the mole can't dig underneath the trap. You should also loosely cover the tunnel back up with dirt, so the mole will continue to dig through the loose dirt, and get captured by the trap. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg\/aid1353532-v4-728px-Catch-Moles-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Set a trap. There are many kinds of mole catching traps out there. Most of the traps vary in the way they capture the mole, but nearly all are lethal.

Set a trap. There are many kinds of mole catching traps out there. Most of the traps vary in the way they capture the mole, but nearly all are lethal. There are scissor jaw traps, harpoon traps, and choker loop traps just to name a few. Read the trap instructions very carefully to figure out the best way to set the device. Change the settings on your chosen trap to make the trigger apparatus really sensitive. Once you know how to open and set the trap, place the trap into the cut out section of tunnel. For a scissor trap, place the jaws around loosely packed dirt in the middle of the tunnel.

The jaws should span across the runway of the tunnel and be pushed into the ground about 1 inch (2.5 cm) down. Cock the trap according to the included instructions. For a harpoon trap, set and straddle the trap over the runway of the mole tunnel with both legs of the trap pushed down into the ground on each side of the tunnel. Gently push the legs of the trap into the ground, positioning the trigger pan (the square, flat piece of metal) just above the soil.

For a choker loop trap, use a garden tool to dig a hole into the tunnel from the top. Dig the hole a tad deeper than the actual depth of the tunnel, but the same width as the tunnel. Place the loop into the tunnel so it follows the exact direction and angle of the tunnel. Pack the open area of the trap (in front of the loop) firmly with soil, so the mole will continue to dig through the tunnel and get caught in the trap.

Cover the trap. Cover the trap with some sort of large bucket to protect children and pets from coming near the area.

Remove the trap. Check on the trap every day to see if you have caught a mole. When the trap has finally been set off and has caught the mole, remove the trap and mole. If you have not caught a mole after two days, try moving your trap to a new area. There are many reasons a trap can fail (changed burrowing habits, too much tunnel disturbance, improperly set trap), but you will have to find out through trial and error, and consider setting your trap in a new location.

Dispose of the mole. Grab the mole with a plastic bag around you hand. Turn the bag inside out as you continue to hold onto the mole, and let the mole fall into the inside of the bag. Tie the bag to seal it, and place the mole in with your garbage.

Content: Have you recently looked at yourself beneath a magnifying glass and realized you're not so fond of what you see? Most people come to a point when they want to improve who they are. Changing yourself into the person you desire is a really big undertaking, so don't get down on yourself if change doesn't come as quickly as you like. Just be sure to measure the small triumphs of this undertaking, and, over time, you'll find you are much closer to the youyou want to be. Steps
Method 1of 3: Evaluating Yourself
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Change-Into-the-Person-You-Desire-Step-1-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Change-Into-the-Person-You-Desire-Step-1-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Change-Into-the-Person-You-Desire-Step-1-Version-3.jpg\/aid647169-v4-728px-Change-Into-the-Person-You-Desire-Step-1-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

You don’t have to bring about world peace to change someone’s life. Simple acts of kindness and good behavior can go a long way to improve someone’s day, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first. The simplest ways to make a difference are to be emotionally supportive and to donate money to those in need. If you want to be more direct, look for opportunities to defend and stand up for victimized people. Finally, if you’re looking to be more proactive, consider looking at ways to improve your own life for the better.

Remind others that you’re emotionally available to them. Remind your friends and family members that you’re there for them, even if you can’t do anything to physically change their problem or situation. When comforting someone, remind them that they have control over the decisions that they make, and that you’ll support them no matter what. For example, say something like: “ I know you’re going through a tough time right now, and I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you if you need anything.”

Compliment someone to make them feel good. Take a minute out of your day to compliment someone, be they a friend, family member, or stranger. Let them know that their outfit looks fantastic, or congratulate them on a recent success. Even if it’s a short conversation, you can easily make someone’s life better by letting them know that they‘re talented and beautiful.

Perform one act of kindness for a stranger each day. Get in the habit of doing considerate things each day, whether it’s a small or large act. If you’re entering a busy building, try holding the door for the person behind you. If you’re feeling extra generous, pay for the drink for the next person in line. Try paying it forward at a restaurant drive-through.

Content: Feeling that you're a failure is a limiting belief, and one that you probably don't want to hold onto! Instead, when you're changing who you are, focus on what you're doing well. Be patient with yourself, and trust that the changes will come over time. If you make a mistake and relapse into old behavior, don't stress about it. Just start again the next day. You don't have to identify with your old ways of being, or with the mistakes you make as you try to learn new patterns of behavior. Instead, keep your attention focused on the person you're becoming. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Change-Who-You-Are-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Change-Who-You-Are-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Change-Who-You-Are-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/aid106715-v4-728px-Change-Who-You-Are-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,

Tell someone. Part of the reason Alcoholics Anonymous is said to be successful is because you take something you wouldn't usually talk about, and you put it out in the open. Having someone else hold you accountable provides you with an extrinsic motivation you wouldn't otherwise have. Talk to a friend about what you're looking to accomplish. If they're a trusted confidante, they'll be able to prod you in the right direction (either by telling you that you're being ridiculous or by keeping you on track). The extra brain power and set of eyes a little bit farther away from the painting, if you will, can help you see how you should behave and what impression you're giving off. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1e\/Change-Your-Whole-Personality-Step-3-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Change-Your-Whole-Personality-Step-3-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1e\/Change-Your-Whole-Personality-Step-3-Version-2.jpg\/aid6104-v4-728px-Change-Your-Whole-Personality-Step-3-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License:

Did this article help you?
Content: A serious crime, insider information on a major corporation, and uplifting stories of the human spirit all belong in major news publications. Choose to contact major media outlets if you have information on something big! Journalists are often quite busy and popular reporters get tons of tips and pitches to sort through. This process may take you a few weeks, or even months, depending on how busy the news outlet is and how long the story will take to investigate or report on. A breaking story about a child kidnapping deserves to be on a major media outlet. However, smaller, area-specific stories, like mall openings and fundraisers, are more likely to be picked up by local organizations. You can contact multiple news outlets at once.

Try boiling your spinach. Place your rinsed and dried baby spinach into a pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook for one minute before removing. You can boil the spinach for longer than a minute, but it will quickly get tender and turn a bright green after very little time. After boiling, pour the contents of the pot into a colander to drain. 5
Steam the spinach. Try steaming your spinach by placing your rinsed baby spinach into a steaming basket and putting it into a pot with a small amount of water to boil for three to five minutes. This method cooks the spinach lightly and skips the draining step necessary for boiling. If you are pressed for time, you can also steam fresh spinach in the microwave by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl with a small amount of water, covering the bowl with a lid, and microwaving for 30 seconds to two minutes depending on your microwave and desired cooking level.

Content: Leave the spinach in the boiling water for three to five minutes before removing the pot from heat and pouring the contents into a colander to drain. Use a steamer basket if you have one by filling it with spinach and placing it in your pot over a small amount of water. Boil the water for three to five minutes to steam the spinach and avoid the draining step. 5
Microwave for quick cooking. Put your thawed baby spinach into a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 30 seconds to two minutes. This method works well if you do not have the time or materials to cook your baby spinach by another method. You may want to avoid draining the excess liquid from thawing, or add in some water, before microwaving in order to preserve moisture. You can also cover the bowl with a lid to keep steam inside. Method 3
of 3: Eating Cooked Baby Spinach
1
Add garlic, lemon, or other seasonings.

1
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (204 °C). You’ll start off cooking your steak on the stovetop, but you’ll need to transfer it into the oven to finish it, so get your oven preheated before you start. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/aid9581916-v4-728px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
2
Season your steak with salt and pepper. You’ll want to use plenty of salt when you’re seasoning your steak, but the amount depends on your taste. You don’t want to create a salt crust, but do make sure you season both sides liberally.

Content: Don’t move your steak while it’s searing or it will stick to the pan. When it’s ready to flip, it should release from the pan easily. You should see a golden brown crust on the steak. If it’s not ready, allow it to sear a little longer. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ae\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-5-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-5-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ae\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-5-Version-3.jpg\/aid9581916-v4-728px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-5-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
5
Flip your steak and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Follow the same guidelines as searing the first side. Searing both sides of the steak will produce more of the flavorful brown crust that characterizes a properly-cooked steak. Use tongs to easily flip your steak. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6d\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6d\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/aid9581916-v4-728px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License:

Move the skillet back to the stovetop to make your sauce. With the steak still in the skillet, move the pan to the stovetop over low heat. Add 4 tablespoons (59 ml) of butter, 3 sprigs of thyme, 3 diced cloves of garlic, and 1 diced shallot to the pan. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d1\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d1\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/aid9581916-v4-728px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Baste the steak with the melted butter for 2 minutes. Once the butter has melted, gently tilt the skillet towards you using a pot holder. Rapidly spoon the butter over the steak for 2 minutes. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/35\/Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Dry-Aged-Steak-Step-10-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3

Palm hearts (hearts of palm) or shoots are the buds of the West Indian cabbage palm tree (and some other palms). Considered a delicacy in many places, they are eaten freshly picked. Steps

Eat the tender parts as they are. If you get palm hearts very young and fresh, the centers can be eaten raw by slicing and adding to a salad.

Blanch the palm hearts prior to cooking. This will remove their bitterness. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7b\/Cook-Palm-Hearts-Step-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Palm-Hearts-Step-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/7b\/Cook-Palm-Hearts-Step-3.jpg\/aid1494587-v4-728px-Cook-Palm-Hearts-Step-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":485,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Braise or sauté the palm hearts. Both of these cooking methods are the traditional way to cook palm hearts. Other methods include light boiling, battering, deep-frying, and adding to curries. Use as a filling for omelettes or frittata.

Ham slices cook much faster compared to other types of ham because of how thin it is. How you cook it depends on the type of cut you have: country ham, center cut, steak, or spiral cut. Of the different types of cut, spiral cut ham will take the longest because it is all one piece. Once you know the basic process of cooking ham, you can experiment with different types of seasonings, glazes, and flavors. Ingredients

Cover the leaves with water. Fill the stockpot with enough water to just cover the leaves. Make sure that there is at least 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 centimeters) of empty space in between the top of the water and the top rim of the pot to prevent the water from boiling over. 3
Salt the water to taste. Use around 1 to 2 teaspoons (4.8 to 9.5 grams) of salt. You want just enough salt to draw out the flavor of the spinach, but not so much salt that it dominates over the taste of the spinach. 4
Boil the spinach in the water on the stove over high heat. Once it begins to steam, start timing it. Boil the spinach for 3 to 5 minutes. 5
Drain the spinach by pouring the contents of the pot into a large pasta drainer.

Boil the spinach in the water on the stove over high heat. Once it begins to steam, start timing it. Boil the spinach for 3 to 5 minutes. 5
Drain the spinach by pouring the contents of the pot into a large pasta drainer. Shake the drainer to remove any excess water. 6
Immediately transfer the spinach over to a separate stockpot filled with ice water. Allow it to sit in the ice water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The ice water "shocks" the spinach, preventing it from losing its bright green color. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e5\/Cook-Spinach-Step-11-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Cook-Spinach-Step-11-Version-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e5\/Cook-Spinach-Step-11-Version-4.jpg\/aid2259893-v4-728px-Cook-Spinach-Step-11-Version-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":259,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":410,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License:

After spending a wonderful holiday over the Christmas and New Year period, some people feel blue and find that it's difficult to function normally in their daily rhythm. As defined by the DSM IV, holiday blues, holiday depression, or post-Christmas blues, these commonly used terms depict the mental distress occurring after the winter holidays and festival season. This article is focused on experiencing the "blues” since this term suggests mild mental distress, a commonly occurring phenomenon when dealing with daily life stress and change. Below are some suggested steps to get rid of your post winter festive season holiday blues. Steps Download Article

Expect some letdown. The holiday season is both joyful and stressful at once. There is family to get along with, gifts to buy and return, people to visit, activities to throw yourself into, plenty of festive food to eat, sales to rush to, and parties to plan and attend. Topped off with the excitement of New Year's Eve, your adrenaline has probably been pumping a lot of the time during the Christmas and New Year's period. Returning to the usual routine and probably quieter workplace than normal can dampen your spirits just by the absence of exciting things to do and look forward to.

Returning to the usual routine and probably quieter workplace than normal can dampen your spirits just by the absence of exciting things to do and look forward to. Equally, if your Christmas and New Year's Eve period wasn't as enjoyable as you had hoped, you can be left feeling down about the lack of enjoyment you'd expected and this can sour your mood. Expecting to feel a little low is a way of telling yourself that this is a normal feeling and that it will soon pass once the routine re-establishes itself. Look at your past experiences to enlighten you as to your normal post-holiday feelings. Do you always fall into a slump after the holiday season? If you have spent period after last two holidays in despair, then the chances of this post holiday period continuing in despair are high.

Apply face makeup. Before you can start creating glitter tears, you will want to put on a base layer of makeup on your skin, as well as eyeshadow and eyeliner. Glitter tears are essentially an extension of your regular eye makeup. Pick a colour for your eyeshadow that will match with the glitter you are using to create tears. This will pull your eye makeup together creating a dramatic look. 2
Draw tear lines using eyeshadow.

Remove any fallout using tape. Glitter can be difficult to work with and often gets all over the place. While applying glitter tears you may accidentally get some on your forehead, chin, or anywhere that you don’t want the glitter to be. In order to remove unwanted glitter or fallout from your face, take a small piece of tape and tap the glitter. It will stick to the tape and be easily removed from your face, without disturbing the rest of your makeup. 3
Apply a light lip colour. When creating glitter tears, you want your eyes to be the focal point of your look. As a result, you should use a light pink or nude lip colour. A light lip colour will help your eyes stand out even more. Part 3

Use a natural oil to remove glitter. At the end of the night it is very important that you remove all makeup, including glitter tears, before going to bed. This will help reduce your chances of developing unwanted acne and will keep your face clean and fresh. In order to remove glitter from your skin, use a natural oil, such as coconut oil. Dip your fingers in the coconut oil and rub in a gentle circular motion over the area with glitter.

Measure where you need to cut your drywall with a tape measure. You should use whole drywall sheets when possible when you’re remodeling a room. Use this process for making a sheet smaller to fit the last gap in the wall or in case your sheets are too tall for the room. Hold a tape measure over the gap in the wall to see how big of a piece you need and make note of this number. Bring the tape measure over to your drywall and mark where you need to make your cut in pencil. Most whole sheets of drywall are 4 ft (1.2 m) wide. Choose a length of 8 ft (2.4 m), 9 ft (2.7 m), 10 ft (3.0 m), or 12 ft (3.7 m), depending on the height of your room. Measure the last gap at the top, middle, and bottom in case your wall is uneven.

Hold a drywall square or T-square against the drywall where you need to cut it. Lean the sheet of drywall up against a wall at a slight angle of about 45 degrees so you will be cutting it vertically.

If you need to access something inside a wall or make a hole to install an outlet, you will need to cut into the drywall on the wall. Don't ever use a circular saw or other large power saw to cut into drywall on the wall because you will generate a huge amount of dust and possibly damage something behind it.

Don't ever use a circular saw or other large power saw to cut into drywall on the wall because you will generate a huge amount of dust and possibly damage something behind it. First, plan your cuts and take some safety measures to protect yourself and anything inside the wall. Then, use a jab saw, also known as a drywall saw, to cut out a section by hand or use an electric rotary tool if you want to make quick work of the job. Steps

Look at plans for the building to see where there is plumbing or wiring in the wall. This will help you determine if there are any places you need to avoid cutting into. Only cut into spots where there might be plumbing and electrical wiring if it is absolutely necessary and be extra careful to cut no deeper than the depth of the drywall, which is usually 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm). If you don't have architectural plans for the wall you need to cut into, you can try estimating where plumbing and wiring runs by looking at things like sinks, toilets, electrical outlets, and light fixtures.

If you don't have architectural plans for the wall you need to cut into, you can try estimating where plumbing and wiring runs by looking at things like sinks, toilets, electrical outlets, and light fixtures. Tip: Wires typically run vertically down the walls from the ceiling towards electrical outlets, light switches, and light fixtures on the wall. There is usually plumbing directly behind sinks and faucets, as well as below toilets, tubs, showers and other places where water drains. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-2.jpg\/aid11530324-v4-728px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2021 wikiHow, Inc.

Mark the outline of the section you want to cut out with a pencil. Identify the spot where you want to make a hole for an inspection or to access something behind the drywall. Draw the outline for the cut freehand if you just need a rough opening or use a straight edge to create perfectly straight lines. If you want to create a circular opening in drywall, you can trace around a round object to create a neat cut line.

Plunge the tip of a jab saw into the drywall where you want to start cutting. [ 2]
X Expert Source Ryaan Tuttle
Home Improvement Specialist Expert Interview. 24 February 2021. Place the sharp tip of the jab saw against the drywall, then wiggle it back and forth while applying strong pressure to push it straight through using your dominant hand. Use your non-dominant hand to push on the back of the handle if you need more force to get it through.

Use your non-dominant hand to push on the back of the handle if you need more force to get it through. A jab saw is also known as a drywall saw. It has a sharp tip that makes it relatively easy to punch through a sheet of drywall as well as teeth for sawing. Jab saws can be used to make both straight and circular cuts in drywall. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6f\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6f\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-5.jpg\/aid11530324-v4-728px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2021 wikiHow, Inc.

Saw along your cut lines using clean, smooth strokes. Apply more pressure on the forward sawing motion to create a neat cut without jagged outside edges. Pull the blade most of the way out and rotate it 90 degrees before plunging it back in whenever you reach the end of a cut line on a square or rectangular section. Try your best to saw with even, controlled motions and only saw about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) deep, which is the most common depth of drywall.

Tip: If you want to reinstall the same piece of drywall after you remove it, you can hold the jab saw at a 45-degree angle away from the center of the section as you cut it out. This will create a bevelled cutout so you can easily patch the piece back in. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-6.jpg\/aid11530324-v4-728px-Cut-Drywall-on-the-Wall-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2021 wikiHow, Inc.

Use a shop vac to suck up dust as you go if you want to minimize the mess. Hold the nozzle of a shop vac in your non-dominant hand. Follow along behind the jab saw to suck up the dust as you cut. This is completely optional.

Use a shop vac to suck up dust as you go if you want to minimize the mess. Hold the nozzle of a shop vac in your non-dominant hand. Follow along behind the jab saw to suck up the dust as you cut. This is completely optional. It just helps to reduce the mess you make, but you can always vacuum it up afterwards if you want to. Another trick to minimize dust is by fitting a jab saw with a finer-toothed blade meant

Soak the shoestring potatoes until you're ready to fry them. Put the cut potatoes into a bowl of ice water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Then, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry. Fry the shoestring fries in 350 °F (177 °C) oil for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them. Fry about 1 cup (325 g) of shoestring fries at a time so you don't lower the temperature of the oil too quickly. Method 3

Cut each potato into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick slices. Rinse each potato under cold water and pat them completely dry. Set the potatoes on a cutting board and hold one securely with one hand. Use your other hand to carefully make 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick slices lengthwise. Decide if you'd like to peel the potatoes or leave the skins on. Keep in mind that the skin of russet potatoes can be tough. Variation: If you're turning baked potatoes into home fries, remove the peels and then cut each potato in half.

Stack the slices of potato and cut them into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide strips. Set aside the bottom slice of potato that's round so it's easier to cut the rest of the potato. Then, arrange the slices on top of each other and cut them into long strips. At this point, the cut potatoes will look like classic french fries.

Cut the potato strips into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) cubes. Keep the potato strips together and use your knife to cut them at a 90-degree angle. You can make the cubes around 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) if you want them to cook quickly or make them around 1 inch (2.5 cm) for more substantial home fries. Keep in mind that larger home fries will take longer to cook. 4
Cook the home fries in a skillet until they're crispy on the outside.

Cook the home fries in a skillet until they're crispy on the outside. For the best texture, boil the chopped potatoes for about 5 minutes. Then, drain the potatoes well and fry them in a skillet for another 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat. If you're using already cooked potatoes, you don't need to boil them since they'll fry up quickly.

While it is great to feel loved and cherished, there is a fine line between caring behavior and possessive behavior. If you feel like your boyfriend is or is becoming possessive, you should address the issue as quickly as possible. While possessive behavior is usually rooted in low self-esteem, a possessive partner will turn these feelings back on you. A possessive boyfriend may make it difficult for you to form your own opinions and feelings and might make you feel bad for having a life independent from him. He may try to stop you from seeing your friends and attempt to take gradual control of your life. Without you putting a stop to it, this behavior will likely escalate; however, there are ways you can deal with a possessive boyfriend. Steps

Describe your feelings. Your boyfriend may not know he’s behaving in a way that feels possessive to you. Maybe this is his first relationship, or maybe his last girlfriend had a personality different to your own. He may be going through an event in his own life that is causing him to pull you closer than you’d prefer. Talking about your wants and needs in the relationship is always a good place to start. Try beginning with examples: “ When you call me multiple times when I’m with my girlfriends, I start to feel like you don’t trust me” or “It really troubles me when you don’t talk to me after I hang out with my guy friends.” Provide specific instances of when you felt he was being possessive: “ I felt really upset when we were at the football game and you gave me the silent treatment after I played horseshoes with my college friends.”

Content: Avoid calling names; for instance, don’t call him “possessive.” Instead, you may want to say that you felt like his behavior was overly possessive and you felt suffocated. Calling names can result in an argument, but expressing your feelings should not. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6c\/Calm-Down-a-Jealous-Girlfriend-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Calm-Down-a-Jealous-Girlfriend-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6c\/Calm-Down-a-Jealous-Girlfriend-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/aid2054221-v4-700px-Calm-Down-a-Jealous-Girlfriend-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":368,"bigWidth":700,"bigHeight":560,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Discuss the behaviors you feel are unacceptable. This should be an explicit and private discussion in which you can openly talk about the types of behaviors that you do not want to tolerate in a relationship. These should be limited to issues that you are not willing to compromise on. Here are some examples of behaviors that you may feel are unacceptable: Asking you to stop hanging out with your friends, especially male friends, without a good reason.

Explain your needs in your relationship. Your boyfriend may not know your unique needs in your relationship, so it is important that you communicate with him. This may help to alleviate his possessive behavior. Explain your need for independent lives. Tell your boyfriend that even though you love spending time with him, it is important for you to be able to spend time with your friends and family as well. Having a life outside of your partner is a very important part of a healthy relationship Encourage him to spend time with his friends and family without you, too. Communicate your desire to be trusted. Just as you trust him, he should be able to trust you as well.

Content: This is the cornerstone of healthy relationships. Negotiate some rules for your relationship: for example, both of you should be allowed to have and spend time with friends of the opposite sex; however, complete honesty, loyalty, and monogamy are to be expected. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Make-Your-Boyfriend-Jealous-Step-2-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-Your-Boyfriend-Jealous-Step-2-Version-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Make-Your-Boyfriend-Jealous-Step-2-Version-4.jpg\/aid2054221-v4-728px-Make-Your-Boyfriend-Jealous-Step-2-Version-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Discuss your commitment to your relationship. Possessive behavior is most commonly rooted in low self-esteem and insecurity. If your boyfriend’s possessive behavior is mild, it may be worth it to remind him that you are committed to your relationship and he has no need to be concerned about your intentions. Verbal affirmations are a powerful way to reassure your boyfriend. A simple “I love you and only you” can often do the trick.

Include him in plans with your friends. Often, his possessiveness will come from jealously as well as insecurity. Involving your boyfriend in some of your friend group’s activities can help him feel more comfortable about the life you lead when he’s not around. In particular, it may be helpful to have your boyfriend meet your male friends.

Look to teeth to determine a puppy's age. If you have a puppy, it's fairly easy to determine its age by examining its teeth. Teeth start developing during a puppy's first year. The stage of teeth development is tied to a puppy's approximate age. At one month old, teeth will have just started pushing through the gums. At two months, a puppy will have a full set of deciduous (baby) teeth near the front of the mouth.

The stage of teeth development is tied to a puppy's approximate age. At one month old, teeth will have just started pushing through the gums. At two months, a puppy will have a full set of deciduous (baby) teeth near the front of the mouth. At four months, adult canines and incisors will start to come in. By seven months, a puppy will have a full set of adult teeth and will have developed molars in the back of the mouth. When a puppy reaches a year old, you should notice ridges or bumps on both the lower and upper top front teeth. Keep in mind that teeth tend to erupt later in toy dog breeds. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/97\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/97\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg\/aid8850335-v4-728px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License:

Content: At four months, adult canines and incisors will start to come in. By seven months, a puppy will have a full set of adult teeth and will have developed molars in the back of the mouth. When a puppy reaches a year old, you should notice ridges or bumps on both the lower and upper top front teeth. Keep in mind that teeth tend to erupt later in toy dog breeds. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/97\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/97\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg\/aid8850335-v4-728px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-2-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Note changes in teeth for an older dog. As a dog ages, their teeth change. Changes in teeth can help you assess a dog's approximate age. Ridges on the incisors change as a dog ages. By the time the dog is three years old, the ridges will have worn off the bottom incisors.

By the time the dog is three years old, the ridges will have worn off the bottom incisors. By five years old, the ridges will have worn off the upper incisors as well. A small amount of ridges on the upper front four teeth indicate your dog is between three and four. By seven, a dog's teeth are completely smooth. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c6\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-3-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-3-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c6\/Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-3-Version-2.jpg\/aid8850335-v4-728px-Determine-Your-Dog%27s-Age-Step-3-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Determine whether your electronics are in good condition to donate. [ 2]
X Expert Source Kathryn Kellogg
Sustainability Specialist Expert Interview. 28 June 2019. If your electronics are still functioning and less than 5 years old, they’re good to donate. Check that they don’t need any major repairs or replacement of parts, either. Most nonprofits won’t be able to afford those fixes. If your electronics don’t meet those conditions, recycle them instead. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1f\/Dispose-of-Electronics-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Dispose-of-Electronics-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1f\/Dispose-of-Electronics-Step-2.jpg\/aid10368594-v4-728px-Dispose-of-Electronics-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
