How To Write A Thank You Note
The holidays are over and you likely have gifts you need to write thank you cards for. Here’s how to do it with class.

Enjoy!

A great thank you note is a lot more than a piece of paper with “thank you” written on it, however. This primer will have you writing thank you notes so good, people will want to give you presents just to receive one.

Thank you notes are a terrific way to show your gratitude, and this video from the Art of Manliness YouTube channel covers all the ins and outs of writing the best thank you note possible. You’ll learn things like:

  • When it’s appropriate to write a thank you note.
  • What stationery is best to use.
  • You should always use a euphemism when referring to a gift of money (like generosity, kindness, or gift).
  • Ways to show your appreciation for gifts and hosted events by describing what you liked about the event, or how you plan to use an item.

If your note is for someone you don’t see very often, adding a little news about your life can make your thank you note even more appreciated. With the holidays coming to a close, don’t delay, and get those thank you notes sent out as soon as possible.

How To Of The Day: Avoid Static Shock When Exiting Your Car

Avoid Static Shock When Exiting Your Car
As the weather gets colder and dryer, you are more likely to get shocked when getting out of a car, touching a door knob, or doing laundry. Is there a way to prevent getting shocked on the car door? You bet there is!

Enjoy!

If you’ve ever wondered why your car will sometimes give you a painful shock when you climb out, this video explains the science behind it, and how to prevent it.

In this video from the Physics Girl YouTube channel, host Dianna Cowern explains exactly why exiting your car can cause a nasty static shock when you touch the outside of it. When you get out of the car, you slide your body across the seat, and that can leave both the seat and your body statically charged. If the air is cold and dry enough, the charge will quickly and violently transfer from your body into the car’s metal and shock you. Cowern suggests the easiest way to avoid this is by touching the metalwhile you exit the vehicle. Even if charge builds up, it will slowly flow from your body to the metal without creating the violent “shocking” event.

How To Of The Day: How To Truss A Chicken Without String

FOOD & WINE’s Justin Chapple demonstrates how to truss a chicken without string.

Enjoy!

Trussing, or tying up the wings and legs of a chicken, is an important step in roasting a whole bird evenly; it ensures evenly-cooked, moist meat, and prevents anything stuffed inside from falling out. But even if you don’t have kitchen twine on hand, you can still truss a chicken using its own skin.

Food & Wine test kitchen editor Justin Chapple demonstrates the method in the video above. Basically, you’ll want to make an incision into the skin that surrounds the cavity of the chicken, tucking the opposite drumstick into the slit; you’ll then repeat the same technique on the opposite side.
