context: How to use candy canes creatively
Make peppermint bark.
Everybody's favorite christmas confection is also one of the easiest ways to incorporate candy canes in the kitchen. Just combine melted white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate morsels and a little peppermint extract, then top with crushed candy cane pieces.

OPTIONS:
- Pour soy syrup into the mixture for a traditional peppermint bark effect, and pour dark syrup into the mix for a mix-up effect. Construct a candied candy cane candle trick.
- This timeless treat is guaranteed to please when given as a gift or served as an after-dinner delight. Line your baking dish with wax paper to keep the melted chocolate from sticking as it cools.
- Puree, stir, let cool, and serve immediately. Many old fashioned recipes call for peppermint bark as an ingredient in shakes, cupcakes, cocktail floats, and marinades.
- Boil some water, pour in five teaspoons of all-purpose or veg syrup, and stir to combine. You can also add your favorite candy canes, but avoid adding too much, or it will ruin both the candy canes and the bulb.

context: How to make christmas stockings from sweaters
Get a sweater.
Choose a sweater with a wide, ribbed hem and an interesting pattern or cable-knit. Colors that work best include: white, ivory, red, and dark green.

OPTIONS:
- Try not to wear brightly colored sweaters to christmas parties because they won't get a festive effect. Plain cotton sweaters are your best bet for decorating christmas stockings in all seasons.
- You can use either a plain white sweater or a full-length one, which may depend on the length of the sweater. One other option is a solid, satin sweater made from cotton or another tight material.
- The ribbed hem will eventually make the cuff. Cut a large stocking shape out of paper.
- Spread them out like you would a blanket. Cut a small hole in the sweater's front side so that it fits neatly.

context: How to heal a torn dog acl without surgery
Understand when it is safe to forego surgery.
Both surgical and non-surgical (conservative) methods can be used to treat acl. A combination of both methods is usually helpful for the dog.

OPTIONS:
- A general rule is that surgery is not recommended until recovery is made, otherwise the dog could die. The use of surgery is potentially dangerous.
- Antibiotics generally (unless your dog is receiving special medication) are not needed. However, in some cases a bandage (and possibly dental treatment) may be needed.
- However, the type of therapy recommended varies based on body size, body condition, and severity of lameness of your dog. A dog under 20 kilograms may not be a good candidate for surgical procedures.
- Focus on avoiding surgery, especially if your dog has a stitched wound. Keep in mind that c-sections are necessary to repair the wound.

context: How to set planer blades
Look at the two working surfaces of the planer, the tables.
The infeed table is at the front that you set your depth with, and the outfeed table is under the handle, that you hold firmly to the freshly cut timber.
The outfeed table is fixed.

OPTIONS:
- When planer blades are wet or clean it stands unfixed for one year. It stays fixed when the table is sitting upright.
- The balanced position of the two crates is the norm here, so don't worry about these positions. Set your edge lengthwise over the fixed edge.
- The blades should be set fractionally above the outfeed table. This method will allow you to set them both to the same height and parallel to the table.
- Choose between angles on which the blade will have to be pushed to the gap. The outfeed table will be the upper plate.
