In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Discard any flowers which have rotten parts or which have been eaten by insects. Gently shake or blow on the flowers to remove debris. Unless you like the way they look, there isn't much purpose in keeping the whole stem. The head of the flower is what contains its healing properties and flavor, but if you like the way the stems look or smell, you can leave them on. For example, if you want to use the chamomile to make tea, it will still work whether or not you keep the stems. The flower is the part that will give the tea its taste and health benefits. Soak them gently in a bowl of cold water for a minute or so. Be careful not to destroy the delicate blossoms by handling them roughly or spraying them with a stream of water. Drain the flowers using a mesh strainer and gently pat them with a towel to help them dry. If you think the flowers aren't dirty or contaminated with chemicals, it's best not to wash them. Getting them wet increases their chances of getting moldy as they dry. Place them in a single layer on a flat piece of newspaper, bedsheet or a mesh screen. Make sure the flowers don't overlap since that will slow down the drying process. Leave some space between each flower. Put them indoors in an area that's warm, well ventilated, and not humid. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. A good option is a glass jar with a lid that seals. Keep the container in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
Summary: Look through the flowers and remove any insects or debris. Remove the stems if you want to. Wash the flowers in water if you think they were exposed to pesticides. Lay the flowers out to dry. Leave the flowers to dry for 1-2 weeks. Store the flowers in an airtight container once they are completely dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Select a small mug to make your cookie in. It should have room to expand as it bakes, so use a mug that holds about 8 ounces. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the mug and microwave it until it melts. It will only take a little time in the microwave for the butter to melt. Try 5 seconds before adding more time. You don't want to boil the butter or it will start sputtering in your microwave. Stir in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of packed brown sugar, and one pinch of salt. You can use a spoon, a fork or a small spatula to stir. Ensure that the mixture is completely combined and that there are no lumps of brown sugar. You can use 2 tablespoons of just one kind of sugar, if you like. The brown sugar will give a richer flavor because it's flavored with molasses. Crack 1 egg and separate the yellow yolk from the egg white. Throw away the egg white since you won't need it for this recipe. Add the egg yolk to the mug with your creamed butter and sugar mixture. Stir in the egg yolk until it's completely combined. You could store the egg white in the refrigerator to use in another recipe. Just use it within a few days. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of flour and stir it into the mug just until you can't see the flour anymore. Add 2 full tablespoons of chocolate chips and stir it again so the chocolate chips are evenly distributed in the mug. Avoid eating any of this cookie dough before cooking it since it does contain raw egg yolk. Place the mug of cookie dough in the microwave and cook it for 40 seconds. Check to see if the cookie is done. If it is, the cookie will look dry. If it looks runny or raw, microwave the cookie in 10 second intervals until it looks cooked. Serve or eat the cookie immediately. Avoid microwaving the cookie for more than 1 minute total. The cookie will keep cooking as it cools, so you don't want to microwave it too much.
Summary: Melt butter. Add the sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the egg yolk. Add the flour and chocolate chips. Microwave the cookie in the mug.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Not all theaters will require the same formality of dress. Pay attention to what kind of production you'll be attending and decide the most appropriate way to dress. For instance, it's improbable that a production aimed for children will require any particular fashion sensibilities, whereas attending even a small, locally produced opera might make you want to consider nicer wardrobe choices. In this case it's all about context. Special black tie events and opening nights will usually call for formal attire, while you should feel free to dress casually for the average Broadway or matinee show, or for more conceptual dramas like those put on by black box theaters. It can be a good idea to run a search or call up the theater managers before a show to find out whether there is an expected dress code. If you're ever uncertain about what to wear to a given event and have no guidelines to follow, it's usually alright to go casual. If you've seen the show before, or if a merchandise booth is selling souvenirs before the show, grab a t-shirt or hat to show your support. Many long-running or family oriented shows appreciate when fans show up wearing that production's apparel. These products are often unique and exclusive to that live performance, so you'll never have a better chance to model them. This is a no-no for most opening nights and more focused productions, but for established shows like The Lion King and Wicked it is encouraged and can be a lot of fun, especially for younger kids. Dress yourself or your child up as your favorite characters and have fun immersing yourself in the event. Just don't go too overboard with costumes and propsremember, an audience member's appearance can be distracting. Do some research to find out whether a particular show recommends the use of costumes and props before you buy your tickets and decide what to wear. Even then, keep elaborate costumes reasonable and don't be tempted to act out or make noise during the show. In rare instances it may be okay to come as you are. Off-Broadway shows and smaller productions usually don't mandate a dress code, so jeans and sneakers won't be an issue. Make sure you always know ahead of time what the expected mode of dress is for a given production or venue, and enjoy an increasingly uncommon opportunity to present yourself fashionably at a formal society event. Even if normal clothes are allowed, it's never a bad idea to dress nicely. Your appearance says something about your character, so make sure it has good things to say.
Summary:
Know what is expected. Buy and wear merchandise. Put on costumes and facepaint. Wear everyday clothes.
