INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The foyer conveys the first impression of a home's interior. Center a traditional chandelier, contemporary pendant, or transitional close-to-ceiling fixture in your hallway to provide basic illumination and create a welcoming atmosphere. Make your artwork come to life and illuminate it with halogen light from track or adjustable recessed down-lighting. Mirrors also add a special decorative touch to a foyer. Not all foyers can accommodate a large chandelier, so make sure the size proportions are correct. Likewise, if you have a larger space, you'll need a larger fixture. If you'll be able to view the fixture from above, make sure to select a foyer chandelier or pendant that looks attractive from second story viewing. To prevent accidents, stairs should be lit from top to bottom with switches in both places. For safety in hallways, place lighting fixtures every 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0m). Tie in the fixtures you choose by matching your foyer chandelier or pendant with close-to-ceiling fixtures for hallways and smaller chain hung fixtures for stairways. Always mount a sconce above eye level (approximately 66" from the center of the fixture to the floor) so that the lamp source is not visible.

SUMMARY: Use lighting and decoration for a first impression. Make sure to size the decorative fixture to the space. Remember that stairways and halls must have good general lighting for safety. Use matching wall sconces to complement the hanging foyer fixture.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Preheat your oven to 325F (163C). In a large bowl, mix 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 3 eggs, 0.5 cups (120ml) coconut milk, 0.5 cups (120ml) milk, and 2 cups (470ml) grated coconut. Pour the mixture into a greased, medium-sized cake pan and bake for 25 minutes. Make coconut cream cake pops by crumbling coconut cake in a bowl and stirring in vanilla frosting. Add frosting and stir until the mixture has a dough-like consistency. Roll the dough into ping pong-sized balls and chill them in the fridge for 2 hours, then insert lollipop sticks. For an added touch, dip the cake pops in melted chocolate and chill them for another 2 hours. Make chocolate-covered coconut candy by mixing 1.75 cup shredded coconut, 1.75 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 cup chopped almonds, and 0.5 cups (120ml) condensed milk in a medium-sized bowl. Roll the mixture into balls that are approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) in size and chill them in the fridge for 20 minutes. Dip the balls in melted chocolate and let them cool for another 20 minutes. Coconut flour is a protein-rich, gluten-free alternative to regular flour. While it can be used in place of regular flour, you should swap it in at only a third of the flour that your recipe calls for, as it is much more absorbent. Be sure to mix your ingredients very thoroughly to prevent the coconut flour from clumping.
Summary: Bake a coconut cake. Make coconut cream cake pops. Make coconut candy. Replace grain-based flour with coconut flour for baking.

A clam shell that is open when you receive it or opens easily by hand is typically dead. Keep the living clams and throw away any dead clams. Using a stiff brush, scrub the shell of each clam under cold, running water. This will rid the shell of any residual salt and sand. Though you don't have to do this, it will help loosen up the clams a bit before you try to shuck them and will make the entire process easier. Here's how you do it: Pour 1 gallon (3.8L) of water into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup (78.86 ml) of salt to the gallon of water. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved into the water. Place all your cleaned clams in the water/salt mixture. Let the clams soak for 20 minutes. Drain water/salt mixture. Repeat the process of soaking your clams in a water/salt mixture 2 more times. Place all the clams on a tray and them put them in the refrigerator for an hour. This will help relax the clams and make it easier to open their shells.

One-sentence summary -- Make sure the clams you're going to be shucking are alive. Clean your clams. Soak the clams. Refrigerate your clams.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For a small window, you may only need one curtain to cover the whole thing. However, if you're covering a larger window, you may want two curtains that part in the middle. For an extra-large window, you may want to consider multiple curtain panels. When you're taking your widthwise measurements, be sure to divide the final number by the number of panels you want before cutting your fabric. For instance, if you need 30 feet (9.1m) to cover a window and you want three separate panels, each panel must be 10 feet (3m) wide (30 3 = 10). You have a lot of choice when it comes to choosing fabrics for curtains, but you should take into account what kind of effect you want to achieve. For instance: To add a bit of privacy without blocking out too much light, choose a lighter weight material that has some transparency, such as voile or linen. To block out light or drafts, choose a heavier material, such as velvet, corduroy, tapestry, or damask. For an ultra-lightweight curtain in areas where you don't need privacy, try lace, chiffon, or organza.

SUMMARY:
Decide how many curtains you need. Choose a fabric.
