INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Squirt a few spoonfuls of the liquid dish soap into the palms of your hands and rub it through the greasy hair. Rinse the soap out with warm water until the water runs clear and there aren't any bubbles.  Consider using a conditioner after using the dish soap because the dish soap will strip your hair of its natural oils. Be careful not to get any detergent in your eyes. Try using a detachable shower head to rinse your hair. This way you can hold it up to your scalp and use your free hand to shield your eyes.

SUMMARY: Use liquid dish soap with degreaser to cut through the oil.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you want to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you want to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in its original location on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered. You can even create zig-zag lines by moving your arm back and forth in a uniform way across the entire sheet of cake balls. Place one berry on the top of each cake ball as a garnish. Combine 1/4 cup butter, a cup of flour, and 1 cup brown sugar together in a medium bowl. In a 350ºF/180ºC oven, bake the topping for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle on top of the cake balls. To ensure a hard coating and for any topping to appear more uniform, place the cake balls in the freezer or refrigerator for an hour or two.

SUMMARY: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest. Drizzle additional melted chocolate on top. Use the blueberries on the cake balls. Make the streusel topping. Chill the cake balls again. Finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Different occasions and events call for different types of ‘thank you’ etiquette.  While there’s no rule that says you must follow these guidelines, they have become tradition.  It is typical to send a ‘thank you’ note or card for the following reasons:  Receiving any type of gift, including money.  The gift may be for your birthday, anniversary, graduation, house warming, holiday, etc. Attending a dinner party or special occasion (i.e. Thanksgiving) at someone else’s house. It is customary to send a handwritten 'thank you' card to anyone who has done one of the following things for your wedding.  It is also customary to send the card within 3 months of the event, although it is much easier to keep yourself up-to-date if you send cards when you receive gifts instead of waiting until after the wedding is over.  Someone who has sent you a gift for your engagement, wedding shower or wedding, including money. Someone who was a member of your wedding party (e.g. bridesmaid, maid of honour, flower girl, etc.). Someone who hosted a party of some kind in your honour (e.g. wedding shower, engagement party, etc.). Someone who helped you plan or execute your wedding, including the vendors and suppliers who made your wedding a success (e.g. baker, flower arranger, decorator, chef, etc.). Anyone who went out of their way to help you while you were preparing and planning your wedding (e.g. the neighbour who mowed your lawn, etc.). If you have been interviewed for a job, internship, or volunteer position, you should send a ‘thank you’ note or card to the interviewer as soon as possible after the interview is finished.  Make sure you personalize the card or note to be specific about the job for which you were interviewed, and even mention something specific from the interview. Ensure that you’ve spelled everyone’s name properly.  There would be nothing worse than sending a ‘thank you’ note after an interview and spelling the interviewer’s name wrong. Use formal greetings in your ‘thank you’ note unless the interviewer introduced themselves by their first name and insisted you call them that. In the case of interview ‘thank you’ notes, it is not uncommon to send a personal email rather than an actual card or letter.  Logistically this might be the better option if physically getting a card or a note to the interviewer is difficult or might take too long. Receiving any type of financial assistance in university or college is awesome.  Many of the scholarships and bursaries provided to students come from donations. Whether donated from an individual, family, estate or organization, sending a ‘thank you’ note for providing you with the funds is a great way to show your appreciation.  If the scholarship or bursary was awarded via your school, the department who choose the recipients should be able to assist you in obtaining a mailing address for where to send the ‘thank you’ note. Since these are not people you know personally, keep the ‘thank you’ letter formal and elegant, rather than casual. Before sending the letter make sure you check (and double-check) that there are no spelling or grammar errors.  You may even want someone else to read it over for you in case you’ve missed something. ‘Thank you’ notes like this are best sent via formal business letter on nice paper, as opposed to a handwritten note or card.

SUMMARY: Be aware of ‘thank you’ etiquette. Send wedding ‘thank you’ cards within 3 months. Write a ‘thank you’ note for an interview immediately. Create a personal ‘thank you’ to the donors of a bursary, grant or scholarship.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Discard the ice water when you are ready to serve your drink. Fill the glass 2/3 to 3/4 full of ice. The cooling of the ice in the mixing glass will create a vacuum that will help to hold the seal between the two containers.  You may need to gently strike the outside of the tumbler where the metal meets the glass with your hand to break the seal. Set the mixing tumbler aside.

SUMMARY:
Chill a serving glass by placing it in the freezer for 5 minutes or by filling it with ice water. Pour the ingredients for your cocktail into the mixing glass. Invert the tumbler and place it over the top of the mixing glass, pushing tightly to seal the tumbler against the mixing glass. Shake the cocktail over your shoulder using one hand to hold each container. Hold the mixing glass in your non-dominant hand and use your dominant hand to remove the mixing tumbler. Place a hawthorn strainer over the top of the mixing glass and strain the shaken cocktail into your chilled glass.
