Q: You need to be careful when picking a place to bike with your dog. Trying to bike on terrain that is either too undeveloped or too congested can be dangerous. The optimal location is a lightly traveled road or a designated biking path.  Riding with a dog can triple your width, making it difficult if not impossible to ride in a designated bike lane on the side of the road.  Considering that your dog might be less than fully visible and its roadside etiquette rather unrefined, this is a very dangerous option. However, if there is a lightly traveled country road nearby, with a low speed limit and no overly sharp turns, this could be a viable option for biking with your dog.  Mountain biking with your dog is at least as risky. Rough terrain will require precise navigation and excellent balance, which can be difficult to maintain with your dog pulling on you.  Your best option will be a long straight path with no automobile traffic. You should also consider the likelihood of encountering pedestrian or bike traffic. Although this is less problematic, you still want to avoid it, especially when starting out. It will take some time for your dog to become accustomed to be the behaviors and the levels of exertion necessary for biking with you. After you have trained your dog you will want to take him or her on a short, slow ride, no more than a few minutes long.  Make sure that your dog is only jogging gently next to you. Give treats and praise to build positive associations with biking. Every time that you go out, increase the time and the pace of your excursion. Be attentive, however, to signs that you are pushing your dog too hard.  If so, adjust your pace. Eventually your dog should be able to go longer distances at greater speeds.  Your dog's paw pads will grow tougher with more running. They might, however, start off sensitive. Check them after a run to verify that there are no signs of damage or injury. Also be aware of limping, itching, or chewing on the paw; all of these can indicate that the paw might be injured.  Inspect to make sure that there are no signs of chaffing where the harness is pulling on your dog. Throughout the ride be attentive to your dog's behavior.  If she begins to show signs of laziness or appears unenthusiastic, call it a day and come back out some other time. Heat stroke is a serious condition that can cause organ failure. To prevent heat stroke you should avoid strenuous exercise in extreme heat.  Even then, you must be mindful for signs of heat stroke. Some dogs will be more inclined toward it than others.  You should be particularly mindful of heat stroke if your dog is either very young or old, obese, short-nosed, has a thick coat, or has an underlying medical condition.  Signs of heat stroke include: Rapid or erratic heartbeat, rapid breathing, exaggerated panting, loud heaving, excessively drooling or frothing at the mouth, vomiting, dizziness,  shaking, and unconsciousness. If you suspect that your dog is experiencing heat stroke stop, move to a cooler area, give the dog a small amount of water, and sponge him or her down with cool (not cold) water. A change in temperature that is too rapid can be dangerous. Exposure to cold water Whether through trial and error or because your veterinarian has told you that your dog is not equipped for it, you might find that your dog can not run alongside you. That does not mean, however, that you can't enjoy a bike ride together.  For small dogs (which shouldn't run alongside you anyway) one can purchase bike baskets.  For larger dogs, there are also trailers and side cars that can be used to carry your dog with you.
A: Choose a location. Start out slow and short. Increase the time and pace. Watch for signs of heat stroke. Carry your dog.

Q: Eventually, you’ll glaze the ham about 15 to 20 minutes before it’s finished cooking. To have the glaze ready in time, start working on it around 45 to 60 minutes before you expect the ham to be done. Quick glazes take mere minutes, and even those that need to be reduced on the stove top take under 15 minutes. For the easiest, no-cook option, simply whisk together 1 ⅓ cup (265 g) of dark brown sugar with 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of orange juice, red wine, or cognac. Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved completely. Alternatively, combine 1 ⅓ cup (265 g) of light brown sugar, 2⁄3 cup (160 mL) of soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small saucepan, then bring the ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat once the mixture has reached a boil. Stir it occasionally, and simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it’s thickened slightly. Then turn off the heat, and allow the glaze to cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before brushing it over the ham. Whisk together 1 1⁄3 cups (320 mL) of molasses, 2⁄3 cup (160 mL) of bourbon, and ½ teaspoon (1 g) of ground cloves in a small saucepan. Bring the ingredients to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, turn off the heat, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Combine 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of maple syrup, 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon (16 g) of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon (¾ g) of ground cinnamon in a small saucepan. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it’s syrupy and has reduced to 1 cup (240 mL). Let the glaze cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before brushing it over the ham. You can find countless recipes for glazes, but coming up with your own glaze is easy. Experiment with ingredients on hand until you've balanced sweet, acidic, and savory flavors. Aim to make between 1 and 2 cups (240 and 470 mL) of glaze, and reserve about a third of it to serve at the dinner table. The basic ingredients of a glaze are a sweetener (such as brown sugar or molasses), an acid (such as vinegar or orange juice), and herbs or spices (such as thyme or cloves).
A:
Prepare the glaze after putting the ham in the oven. Whisk up a brown sugar glaze if you want a simple, classic option. Simmer a soy sauce glaze to add savory notes. Combine bourbon, molasses, and cloves for a deep, warm glaze. Make a maple-orange glaze for a tangy, bright flavor combination. Try coming up with your own custom glaze.
