Being Nice
(For: my friends)
The first step of being nice is gratitude.
Showing gratitude is like this: so say, oe of your friends post something they have. The kind person says:
EXAMPLE : "I'm feeling kind of ill, but I don't have a fever. What is this?"
KIND PERSON: "Oh my, this could be anything. Have you used a thermometer yet? You may have to see a doctor."
See below for what a RUDE person would say.
The next step: helping your other friends. When they PM you asking for advice, give them the best advice possible. They need it. You're his/her friend. That's what friends are for, helping each other, right?
The section for RUDE PEOPLE!
(for my foes and former friends)
Being RUDE is mean, ungrateful, in other words, not-so-helpful. Here's an example of what a RUDE person would say.
EXAMPLE : "I think I'm ill, but I don't have a fever. What is this?"
RUDE PERSON's REPLY : Go see a f***** doctor right now, dumba**!"
Want to see all the consequences that could happen with someone BEING RUDE?
(we'll call the person who was "meanized" OP)
1. The OP might call their friend to harass you so s/he will not get in trouble.
2. The OP might call the police.
3. You might get banned from swearing.
4. The OP might flame you all day.
5. The OP could pooooooooooooooooop and want to hack into your account, and kill you!!!!!
Just a simple list. There are way more dangerous things than this.
Hope you learn your lesson, MmeInspectional.

BUTTER CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp lemon juice
red chili powder to taste
salt to taste
1/2 cup yogurt
4 tsp ginger and garlic paste
2 tsp tandoori masala
1.5 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp garam masala
1 big cardamom
2 green cardamom
1 piece cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
3 large pureed tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp dried methi leaves

4. Grease a broiler dish with ghee, oil or cooking spray and layer chicken in a single layer. Broil on high for 5-7 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on it as every oven varies. The size of the chicken pieces makes a difference and where you place the rack in the oven plays a big role in how long the chicken needs to be cooked.
5. For the gravy, in a medium-sized pan on medium heat, melt and heat butter.
6. Once hot, add cardamoms, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Fry for one minute.
7. Add the balance of ginger and garlic paste and fry for 30 seconds.
8. Add in green chilis and tomato puree. Mix well.

10. Allow it to come to a boil and then lower the heat and let the gravy simmer for 10 minutes until most of the juice from the tomatoes evaporates.
11. Add in the sugar and dried methi leaves and allow it to cook for another 2 minutes before adding broiled chicken pieces. Mix well to coat chicken.
12. Add whipping cream, and mix it. Allow it to come to a boil and take it off the flame.
13. At this point, do a taste test and adjust salt, sugar, and liquid in the gravy.
14. Mix in half the cilantro in the dish and garnish the balance while serving.

Pumpkin Cakes
Pumpkin Cakes
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Yellow and red food coloring
Pretzel nuggets (stems)
Green gumdrops (leaves)
1. Heat the oven to 350ยบ and line a 12-cup muffin tin with bake cups. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the oil and sugar. Whisk in the eggs and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently stir the mixture until well combined. Explain to your child that she should stir only until she can no longer see any pockets or streaks of flour.
4. Stir the pumpkin into the batter until it is thoroughly combined. Spoon the batter into the lined muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of one cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes sit in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove to a rack to cool thoroughly.
5. Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and lemon juice until smooth. Add about 12 drops of yellow food coloring and 4 drops of red food coloring and beat until the frosting turns orange.
Tip:
For authentic-looking pumpkins, pipe on the frosting to resemble a pumpkin's ridges. Fill a sealable plastic bag with frosting, snip a small hole in the corner, and pipe curved lines over each cupcake. (An easier option is simply to frost each cupcake orange and draw ridges from top to bottom with a butter knife.) Use pretzel nuggets for the pumpkin stems and cut flattened green gumdrops into leaves.
