Q: Measure your lard or oil to get 1 1/2 cups (335 g) and place it in a large sauce pot. Turn the heat to medium and stir the fat a little until it melts. Take care to scrape the bottom of the pan so you incorporate any of the browned bits. This will also keep them from burning as the fat melts. Measure out 1 1/2 cups (187 g) of all-purpose flour. Slowly add a little of the flour at a time while you whisk the melted fat. This will prevent lumps from forming in the roux. Don't worry if the melted fat sizzles up a little as you add the flour. Continue to carefully whisk the roux. Turn the heat down to low. Keep cooking and stirring the roux so none of it sticks to the bottom of the pot. You'll need to cook and stir the roux for 30 to 45 minutes so it becomes dark in color. The roux should become a dark mahogany color. You can cool the roux and use it in your gumbo recipe. Don't worry if the roux looks thinner than traditional roux used for thickening. Roux for gumbo is meant to be thinner and more flavorful. If you don't want to use the roux right away, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
A: Melt the fat. Whisk in the flour. Stir the roux as it cooks.

Article: Take a mushroom from your bowl and stand it upright. It should rest nicely on the flat end of the stem you just cut off. Make sure the rest of your cutting board is clear of any other items that could get in your way. For best results, cut the mushrooms 1 at a time, even if they're a smaller variety like buttons or criminis. Press your fingertips into the top of the mushroom cap to hold it in place on the cutting board. Then, curl them into your palm and rest the blade of the knife against your knuckles. Keep the blade's edge pointed straight down, perpendicular to the surface of the cap. There should be about 14 inch (0.64cm) of clearance between your fingertips and the blade. A tucked hand position is the safest technique for preparing ingredients like mushrooms that require a lot of small, quick cuts. Starting on the far end, press down with the knife while pushing it forward slightly in one smooth motion. Reset the blade and make another cut, using your knuckles as a guide. Move your knife and guide hand together until you've sliced the whole mushroom. As you begin cutting, your hand will slide slowly along the length of the mushroom, and the knife will move right along with it. Aim to make each of the slices the same thickness. Thinly-sliced mushrooms work well in dishes like pizza, pasta, and omelettes, while thicker slices work well for sautes and vegetable medleys.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Place the mushrooms on the cutting board with the cap side facing up. Tuck the fingers of your non-cutting hand. Slice the mushroom into strips.

Problem: Article: Your body sheds both water and salt when you sweat. Because of this, strenuous exercise, or other activities that bring on a good sweat, are good ways to get excess sodium out of your system. Try a high intensity workout, like circuit training, to help you get in shape and shed extra sodium. Alternatively, you can try more low-impact exercises that can get you sweating, like hot yoga. However, be aware that hot yoga can be dangerous for people with low heat tolerance, so consult your doctor before starting a hot yoga routine. Allowing yourself to get dehydrated while you exercise can actually cause your body to retain salt, potentially leading to a serious health condition called hypernatremia. Always drink water while exercising, especially if you are hot or working up a sweat. How much water you should drink during exercise depends on your body's individual needs and how intense and long-lasting your workout is. During light or every-day exercise, like a half-hour workout at the gym, an extra 1.5-2.5 cups (400-600 ml) of water is probably enough. Losing too much sodium during a workout can be dangerous. Drinking too much water while you exercise can cause your sodium and other electrolyte levels to drop too low. This can result in exercise-induced hyponatremia. Talk to your doctor or a sports dietitian about how to make sure you don't shed too much sodium while you work out, especially if you are already on a low-sodium diet. For really long or intense workouts, you may need to drink a sports drink or electrolyte drink to keep your salt levels from dropping dangerously low.
Summary: Break a sweat. Stay hydrated while you exercise. Ask your doctor about maintaining a good electrolyte balance.
