Problem: Article: If you're extracting a single shot, you'll probably want to stop the shot once it's brewed for around 20 seconds. If you're extracting a double shot, you'll want to let it go for 20 to 30 seconds. Turn off the machine once you've got the desired volume and the shot begins to turn blonde. Most single shots will be about 1 ounce (30 ml) and double shots are usually 2 to 2.5 ounces (60 to 75 ml). Set the espresso on a small plate and serve it right away. You'll also need to remove the portafilter and dump out the puck of moist espresso grounds. Rinse the portafilter out and wipe it dry. Purge (clean) the brew head by running water through it for a few seconds and then return the portafilter to the brew head. Consider serving the espresso with chocolate covered espresso beans or a small cookie. You could also use it in a latte, cappuccino, or flavored coffee beverage.
Summary: Stop the shot. Serve the espresso and clean the machine.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Putting a tight brace around the center of your forearm can take pressure off of the tendons in the sore elbow and the muscles that move your arm. This, in turn, will decrease the amount of pain you feel from the damaged tendons. When you put the brace on your arm, cinch it tight about 2 inches (5.1cm) below your elbow. Purchase a forearm or elbow brace at any large pharmacy or drug store. They're usually inexpensive and should cost less than $10USD. Ask a physiotherapist or partner to help you put on your brace to make sure it's the right size. Pinpoint the most tender or painful spot on your elbow. Use 3-4 fingers on your other hand to massage the tender spot with long, firm strokes. Exert moderate pressure, but not enough to worsen the pain. Massage from well below to well above that spot. Do this 1-2 times a day. You will find that the pain extends to the areas surrounding the elbow, so massage any areas that feel pain. Use a small amount of natural massage oil to help ease the pain. Hold a frozen gal pack or any other kind of ice pack directly against your painful elbow for 15 minutes. Do this 34 times per day, and space the ice applications out by at least 45 hours. Ice will help to reduce the tendon (and muscle) inflammation and will also cut back on the amount of pain you're feeling. The cold temperatures may also reduce inflammation in the damaged tissue. You can purchase a gel-filled ice pack at any pharmacy or supermarket. If you don't have an ice pack handy, try holding a bag of frozen peas or frozen corn against the elbow. NSAIDsnon-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicationsinclude ibuprofen, naproxen (found in drugs like Aleve), and diclofenac (found in Cambia and Cataflam). These medications will have 2 effects: they'll stop (or reduce) your elbow pain and decrease the swelling in your damaged tendons. Always follow the directions printed on the side of the NSAID packaging. Do not exceed the daily recommended dosage. Not all NSAIDs are taken orally. Drug companies also make topical creams that can be purchased over the counter at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Rub a topical cream directly onto the elbow that has tennis elbow. The cream will decrease pain and swelling, just like the oral NSAIDs. Follow the directions on the tube of NSAID cream closely. Do not use more cream than directed and apply the cream only as often as the packaging suggests.

SUMMARY: Wear a forearm brace to cut back on elbow pain. Massage the painful points on your elbow with your other hand. Ice your elbow for 15 minutes at a time. Take NSAIDs to stop the pain and reduce elbow swelling. Apply a topical NSAID cream to the elbow for a more specific treatment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While lox is the popular option for salmon that goes on a bagel, you can use any type of smoked salmon instead. Toast a bagel and smear it with cream cheese. Take 1-2 thin deli slices of smoked salmon or lox and layer them on top of the cream cheese. For an additional flavor, add 2-3 slices of tomato. Replace the tomato with a few slices of avocado if you want a contemporary version of this snack. Smoked salmon makes an excellent addition to a salad. Hot smoked salmon works well with heartier vegetables like carrots and fennels, while cold smoked salmon can be used to replace chicken in most recipes. Use vinaigrette or poppy seed dressings instead of Caesar or ranch when building a smoked salmon salad. You can cut thin slices of salmon before adding it to a salad, or opt to shred it with a fork. You can also weigh it down with a heavy can or bowl before cutting it if you want to remove a lot of the juices. Smoked salmon doesn't really work that well in salads that utilize a lot of fruit. Sweet flavors and fish don't tend to work well with one another.
Summary: Throw cold smoked salmon on top of a bagel with cream cheese. Add smoked salmon to a salad.
