Homemade English Muffins & Hollandaise Sauce

So, what do you do when you crave something but you don’t have the ingredients at home and you’re too tired to go to the store? What do you do when you want Eggs Benedict but you don’t have English muffins (I mean besides crying)? I know it’s hard to think about… it’s one of those things that no one ever wants to think about… but it happens. Sometimes in life you have to face challenges head on and make your own English muffins.

Poached eggs with mixed leafy vegetables, tomato, hollandaise sauce, and homemade english muffins.

To be honest, I wasn’t so happy that I’d have to make my own English muffins. There are so many delicious types in the stores (whole wheat, white, sourdough) what’s the point of slaving over a hot griddle? Yes, by the way, English muffins are not baked, they’re fried!

Tutorial: Opening A Coconut

If you’re looking for the tutorial on how to open coconuts, scroll to the bottom of the page.

The last week had a lot to do with escalators. I’m currently in Coronado, a part of Panama, for my winter break. While browsing the Internet I came across a video that is allegedly of people trying an escalator for the first time. At first I found it kind of funny, but then I tried to understand how what I saw was possible. I mean it’s not that hard to ride an escalator, I think.

I thought of two different reasons: the handrail couldn’t support much mass and the handrail was moving at a different speed than the steps. If you watch the video carefully you can see that the passengers only start to fall when they grab onto the handrail. You can also see that the handrail moves slower than the steps so the people fall backwards.
