To cut vegetables into julienne strips, use a cleaver or chef's knife to slice the food into pieces about 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut them lengthwise again into strips about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. To sliver green onion, garlic, or gingerroot, use a cleaver or chef's knife to cut the food into 2-inch or shorter lengths. Halve each section lengthwise or cut lengthwise into thin slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Original Medicare, sometimes called Traditional Medicare, refers to Medicare Parts A and B. Medicare Part A is often called hospital or inpatient insurance because it pays for care in the hospital. Part A also pays some of the costs of stays at skilled nursing facilities, or health care at home. Finally, Part A also covers hospice care for people who are terminally ill.
Medicare has four parts: 1  Part A is hospital insurance (inpatient). 2  Part B is supplementary medical insurance. 3  Part C is a private health plan (often called a Medicare Advantage Plan) that Medicare has approved.  Part D is a prescription drug plan.
