INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Anaphylactic reactions often get worse after each episode, so it's important to keep your dog away from whatever caused its first reaction. This might mean preventing your dog from coming into contact with stinging insects by keeping it inside as much as possible, or keeping it away from environmental pollutants and harsh chemicals. If you're not sure what caused your dog's first anaphylactic reaction, the best thing to do is to keep it away from whatever environment it was in where it first went into anaphylactic shock. For instance, avoid walking your dog in the park where it first developed anaphylaxis. Talk to your vet to determine if your dog is allergic to something in its dog food and to find out what food you should be feeding it. You may be required to strictly monitor the ingredients and chemicals in your dog's food in order to prevent future anaphylactic reactions. Your vet may also recommend that it not be given certain oral medications, if these were the cause of its anaphylaxis. Depending on how at-risk your dog is of another anaphylactic reaction, your vet may give you medications to use in the event that your dog goes into shock again. While your dog will still require immediate medical treatment for anaphylaxis, the medications will help minimize the harmful effects of the episode. If your dog is allergic to insect stings, ask your vet if you should carry an EpiPen for your dog. This is a small syringe containing epinephrine that can be used to partially, though not entirely, treat your dog's allergic reaction.

SUMMARY: Avoid exposing your dog to allergens. Change your dog's diet if it went into shock because of a food allergen. Carry emergency medications for your dog if your vet recommends this.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose 2 cups (400 g) of the freshest strawberries you can find, at the peak of their ripeness. They should be ruby red and firm, with bright green tops. Strawberries and cream is a pared-down version of strawberry flavor at its best, so making strawberries and cream with frozen or soft strawberries just won't do. Place the beaters inside the bowl. Putting them in the freezer will chill them. Remove the bowl and beaters from the freezer after about 15 minutes. Chilling the bowl and beaters is important because the fat molecules in the cream expand quicker when they are cold.
Summary: Select fresh, ripe strawberries. Put a bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Put the mask over your mouth and nose. Secure the mask by placing the elastic bands around your ears. Make any adjustments necessary so that it is comfortable and you can breath. Once you have the mask secured, put on your safety gloves. If the bands are designed to go over the back of your head, secure them behind your neck and the back of your head. If there is a nose piece on the mask, adjust the nose piece so that it is comfortable and you can still breath. You may also want to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes. Pour 100 grams of distilled water into your large glass bowl. Put the 68 grams of lye into the distilled water. You should avoid doing it the other way around; in other words, don't put the water into the lye. You should do this procedure outside and far away from any children or pets. Sodium hydroxide lye or "lye" is common ingredient in cleaning products. It is dangerous because it can burn your skin. When you add lye to water, you create a reaction that causes a rapid temperature increase and fumes. You should not inhale the fumes created by this reaction. Wear proper safety equipment when you add the lye to the water. Using a spoon or other implement, mix the lye into the water. You will notice the mixture getting cloudy. Leave the mixture in a secure location away from children and pets for twenty minutes. Once it has cooled down, it will look a bit more transparent. Stir the witch hazel into the mixture for two or three minutes until all of the ingredients are combined. Using your hand held blender, mix all of the ingredients together for a few minutes. You will know it is properly combined when the liquid takes on the texture of light mayonnaise. Once the mixture has the consistency of light mayonnaise, you can add one tablespoon of activated charcoal powder, a teaspoon of green tea extract, half a teaspoon of citric acid, five drops of vitamin E and twenty drops of rosemary essential oil. Blend all of the ingredients together with a hand held blender. When the mixture takes on the consistency of a normal mayonnaise, you can stop blending. Lay out your soap molds on a flat working surface. Using a ladle, transfer the soap mix into each of your soap molds. Cover the molds with a layer of plastic wrap. Finally, cover them with a clean kitchen towel. After twenty-four hours, you can take off the plastic wrap and the towel but you will have to leave the soap in the molds. One week after pouring the soap mixture into the molds, you can take them out of the molds. Place them on a drying rack and leave them to dry, exposed to the air, for one month. Although you may choose to air dry the soap for a shorter period of time (e.g., one week), it will dissolve easily and will not last as long.

Q: Then add the confectioner's sugar to the food processor bowl and continue processing until the pecans are finely ground but not smooth. Knead the dough until it just becomes soft enough to roll into a ball, but do not overwork the dough.
A: Place the pecans in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and coarsely chop them. Combine the flour, the pinch of salt and the baking soda in a large mixing bowl using a flat plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Add the butter chunks to the flour mix. Add the shortening, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you have added all of it to the flour mixture. Mix the flour mixture together with your clean hands to combine the butter and shortening with the dry ingredients. Continue working in the butter and shortening until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Add the pecan and sugar mixture and incorporate it into the dough with your hands. Add the egg, working it into the dough with your hands.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you plan to flambe a roast, a fish, a fruit dish, or a dessert, lay everything out in front of you to make sure you have what you need before you begin. Measure out the alcohol you will be using and lay out the matches or lighter for later. The alcohol content in your liquor is important because it will determine the flammability of your dish. A higher alcohol content is too combustible and may put your safety at risk. On the other hand, a lower alcohol content may not ignite at all. For developed flavors, pair rum or fruit flavored brandy with fruit dishes and desserts and pair whiskey or cognac with meats. Ultimately, go with the liquor profile you like best. For example, feel free to use gin or vermouth on savory dishes if that's your alcohol of choice.

SUMMARY:
Measure out your ingredients. Choose an 80-proof liquor or 40% alcohol by volume liquor. Pair the foods you are cooking with your favorite liquors.
