How to Make Dulce De Leche

Image
Dulce de leche (pronounced "DOOL-se de LE-che," meaning candy of milk ) is a rich syrup similar in flavor to caramel. It is a common ingredient in South American desserts. If you want to add a delicious sweet flavor to your desserts, it's easy to make your own dulce de leche at home. Most recipes involve boiling or baking condensed milk until it reduces into a syrup. You can also use regular milk mixed with sugar to produce dulce de leche. [ Edit ] Steps [ Edit ] Boiling Condensed Milk Peel the label off of a can of sweetened condensed milk. Search your supermarket for sweetened condensed milk. It is usually in the baking section. Take off as much of the label as you can. For the sticky portion, you can use a wet sponge to scrub the remainder of the label off. [1] Read the cans carefully. Containers for condensed milk look very similar to evaporated milk, and evaporated milk won’t work for making dulce de leche. Get multiple cans if you want to make more dulce de...

How to Draw a Brain

Image
The brain is one of the most fun parts of the body to draw. You can make it as simple as you like by drawing lots of squiggles and keeping the shape round. If you want more of a challenge, include anatomical parts, such as the brain stem and cerebellum. Once you've drawn the cartoon or realistic brain, you can go back and add color or label the parts. [ Edit ] Steps [ Edit ] Sketching an Easy Cartoon Brain Draw a large bean shape to make the outline for the brain. Use a pencil to sketch a kidney bean shape on your paper. You can make the outline for the brain any size you like. To make the kidney bean shape, draw a circle that has an indent at the bottom. [1] If you prefer, you could draw an oval instead, but make the middle noticeably wider than the ends. Make a half-circle from the bottom that curls into the middle of the brain. To highlight a section of the cartoon brain, place your pencil on the bottom line of the outline near the center where it indents. Draw a hal...

Grab a group of friends, take a couple of flashlights, and get ready to indulge that sweet tooth. With a few simple tips, you can have a safe and successful trick or treating experience, complete with a whole pile of tasty candy. Happy Halloween! [ Edit ] Steps [ Edit ] Going from House to House Start trick or treating at around 6 or 6:30. You probably want to start trick or treating as soon as you get home from school, but be patient! Have a good dinner to fuel you up for the night, and wait until the sun starts to get a little lower before you head out. Aiming to leave by 6 or 6:30pm is a good goal. If you’re going with younger kids, you might need to leave even earlier to make sure you get home by bedtime. Some smaller towns might have specified trick or treating times to follow. Ask your neighbo...

Five Steps to Creating Accessible Content

Image
An accessible content strategy is one that makes sure your content easily accessed and understood by any person with any type of disability. When building your business, you tend to focus your digital marketing strategy on reaching as many people as possible. Leaving out an entire demographic can be detrimental to that growth. According to the World Health Organization , about 15% of the global population has some kind of disability. A large portion of those need help in using the Internet. In the last decade, efforts to make the Internet accessible for everyone have resulted in the World Wide Web Consortium (i.e. W3C) establishing the Web Accessibility standards. These standards aim at making the Internet accessible to all. Creating accessible websites will not only help to further that goal but will also help businesses reach more people and increase brand loyalty. Besides, web accessibility is being actively regulated. In the United States, failure to comply to Americans with...

If you have a high heel, then all you need is to put in a new tip before you can walk in them again. If the heel’s worn on a dress shoe, then you need to replace it in order to fix it. Your heels may also get dirty, scuffed, or torn while you wear them, but you can easily clean and make repairs on them. [ Edit ] Steps [ Edit ] Fixing a High Heel Tip Get a set of replacement heel tips that match your heel. Replacement heel tips are small rubber pieces with metal dowels attached to them so you can put them in your shoe. You can either measure the height and width of your existing heel tip or buy a multipack that has different sizes in it. Make sure the color of the heel tip matches the one on your shoe or else it will clash. [1] You can buy replacement heel tips from a shoe store or online. Pull out the tip of the heel with a pair of needlenose pliers. Grab the ...
