| How to Make Savoury French Toast Posted: 21 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST Do you have a breakfast with your relatives, and they're all bringing a variety of delicious foods, but you have nothing to bring? Your friends and family are all bring dishes like toast and omelets, but you just sit there awkwardly. Well, this article will be teaching how to make a quick and delicious breakfast toast that everyone will find appetizing! [Edit]Ingredients - 1 egg
- 2 slices of white bread
- Oil
- Salt (optional)
- Syrup or Flavoring (Optional)
- Prepare the egg. This recipe requires only one egg, which will make approximately one serving of egg toast. Start by cracking your egg into a large, flat bowl that is wide enough for your bread. Beat the egg continuously until there are no more traces of egg white, and you are left with a cohesive liquid.
- Make sure you beat carefully and thoroughly so that your dish will be evenly cooked, and taste the same throughout.
- You can use anything instead of an egg beater that is a decent beating tool, such as a whisk, or even a fork.
- You can add a pinch of salt for extra flavor, but this is not required to make the dish.
- Slice the bread. Since this delicious dish uses eggs as the main source of nutrition, the bread should not be anything complicated. We recommend you use plain white bread found in your local market, but whole grain should work just as good. The shape of your bread doesn't really matter, but we recommend you cut it diagonally into 2 equal triangles, so you can save some bread.
- You can cut the crust off, depending on your preference. But note that if you don't like the toughness of the crust, the bread crust softens after cooking with the egg, leaving a soft, crunchy texture throughout.
- Prepare the pan. The pan of this dish should be somewhat larger than the bread, leaving enough room for excess egg mixture, as some of it will separate from your bread. Start the fire or heat the stove top to medium power and let your pan sit there, preheating, for a couple of minutes before you start. Put about of oil, or butter, onto the pan and spread it around. Be careful so that you don't put too much, or it will get too oily. (You can skip this step if you have a nonstick pan.) If you put too little, your toast may stick onto the pan. The right amount is just a little less than you would use to fry an egg.
- Dip your bread. Before just putting your bread directly into the pan, you will need to dip it in the egg mixture you had prepared earlier. Dip your bread into the bowl you mixed the egg in, it should fit perfectly. Make sure you let the bread soak up the egg, but make sure you don't leave it in so long that it falls apart.
- Don't dip too much or else you will run out of the egg mixture, and your bread could fall apart. However, make sure you don't add too little or else it could ruin the taste, and texture of this dish.
- If you feel like you have prepared too little of the egg mixture, you can crack more as needed.
- Put your bread into the pan. Now that your bread is dipped and wet, you need to put your bread into the pan. Do so by carefully placing it in the middle of the pan. It is perfectly normal if some of the egg mixture drips off your bread and onto the pan, just remember to scrape this up before cooking the next piece to avoid burning. Place carefully.
- Cook your bread. Fry your bread at medium heat until one side is golden brown. The upper side should be light yellow. Check the bottom side every once in a while to make sure it is not burning, but a perfect golden color. Then, flip the bread and do the same for the other side.
- Be careful not to rip your bread in the process, as the bread will become very soft. (The bread in the picture above has already been flipped).
- Take it out. When both sides are cooked golden brown, turn off the heat. Carefully take out the bread with a fork or a spatula. Since your bread has just finished cooking, it will still be hot, so make sure you do not touch it. Your savory egg toast is almost done!
- Repeat. Repeat the previous steps until you run out of egg mixture, or you're satisfied with the amount you have made. Your bread will cook faster after the first slice, since your pan has already been heated.
- Flavor it. Now that all the cooking is complete, you have the option to add some more flavor to it, or just eat it plain. You can add anything you would like. Here are some of the things you can add on top of your bread:
- Syrup (Maple, chocolate, etc.)
- Condensed Milk
- Honey
- Sugar
- Jam
- Enjoy your savory French toast! Just try not to eat too much!

| How to Increase Walking Stamina Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:00 PM PST If you've decided you want to improve your fitness, walking is a good choice. It's free, simple, and adaptable to your schedule. If you've been relatively sedentary, you might find that you can't walk very far at first without getting sore or out-of-breath. You just have to keep at it! If you try to walk a little further every day, you'll find that your walking stamina gradually improves. If you don't have the patience for that, there are a few other tricks you can try to help you reach your goals faster.[1] [Edit]Improving Cardiovascular Fitness - Walk for at least 30 minutes 3 to 5 days a week. Going for regular walks improves your cardiovascular fitness gradually, but don't sweat it if you can't walk this long initially. Over time, your body will get used to a certain level of activity, and that makes it easier for you to walk longer.[2]
- If the outdoors aren't available to you this often or if the weather is unsuitable, use a treadmill or stationary bike inside instead.
- Go on a longer walk at least one day a week. Plan a longer walk for at least one of your sessions so you can gradually push your endurance. When you first start, the distance will likely be relatively short. However, as you progress, the distance will grow (as will the time commitment).[3]
- For example, when you first start out, you may only be able to walk without getting tired. That would be your long walk. Each week, increase your long walk by .
- Don't worry about where you start — just focus on improving a little each week.
- Walk at a brisk pace of about per hour. This pace is faster than a stroll, but likely not the fastest you can walk. If you download a step app for your smartphone or smartwatch, it will help you keep pace.[4]
- Listening to music while you walk can help you keep the pace. There are some smartphone apps, such as PaceDJ and RockMyRun, that will help you plan your playlist to include songs with the correct number of beats per minute to keep you on pace.
- Vary terrain and elevation to change the level of resistance. Walking on grass or sand is more difficult than walking on a paved walking trail. Including plenty of hills on your route helps build your stamina as well.[5]
- When walking uphill, lean forward slightly to ease the weight on your leg muscles. Slow your pace as you head downhill and take shorter steps to avoid putting too much strain on your knees.
- Carry weight while walking. If you only have a short period of time to walk, add resistance to work on your stamina. You can buy ankle and wrist weights at sporting goods or department stores (or online), but this type of equipment isn't strictly necessary. You can also simply put a few books or solid objects in a backpack and carry that.[6]
- Keep track of the amount of weight you're carrying so you can increase it incrementally. For example, you might walk with 10 pounds for 1 week, then start carrying 15 pounds.
- After you've been walking with weight for a few weeks, try walking without the weight and see how much further you can go.
[Edit]Including Activity in Daily Life - Find ways to include walking in your regular routine. Think of what you do throughout the day and figure out how you can introduce more walking into the mix. You'll gradually build stamina by getting your body accustomed to moving constantly rather than being sedentary. Here are some possibilities you might try:[7]
- Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Park further away from shops and walk the distance through the parking lot.
- Walk or bike to work.
- Pace while you're talking on the phone.
- Do stretches while watching TV.[8]
- Download a step-tracking or general fitness app. A fitness app, such as MyFitnessPal or Map My Fitness, allows you to set goals for yourself to stay active and increase your walking stamina over time. Some trackers also have features that allow you to compete with others who have the same app, which can provide you with additional motivation.[9]
- Some smartphones come with built-in activity trackers that you can use for free. You can also buy activity trackers, such as FitBit, that allow you to record your workouts. These devices often also measure the distance you've walked and include information about your elevation, heart rate, and calories burned.
- Do at least 10 minutes of physical activity at a time. If you're trying to improve your stamina, shorter bursts of activity won't have the same benefits (although they will help). Even if you're just pacing around your home or jogging in place, keep up your activity for at least 10 minutes.[10]
- For example, you might go on a 10-minute walk after each meal. That spreads your activity out over the course of the day and gets your body used to walking more (even if you've broken the longer walk up into pieces).
- Try bodyweight exercises when you have downtime. Because bodyweight exercises don't require any equipment, you can do them anywhere. Any downtime you have waiting for something or someone can be put to use to help you become more active, even if it's simply doing a few jumping jacks or toe touches. Staying active during these times rather than just sitting down and waiting will help improve your cardiovascular stamina and endurance over time.[11]
- For example, you might do squats or lunges in the kitchen while you're waiting for water to boil.
- Always warm up your muscles before you start walking or doing other exercises. It will keep you from getting cramps or other injuries.[12]
[Edit]Warnings - Talk to your doctor before you start a new exercise regimen, particularly if you have a chronic health condition or have recently recovered from an injury.

| How to Understand Cocktail Measurements Posted: 20 Nov 2020 08:00 AM PST Cocktails are a fun way to mix alcohol and other ingredients to create delicious tasting drinks. Some cocktail recipes call for strange-sounding measurements that can be hard to convert into ounces or milliliters. If you want to impress your friends and family by making great cocktails, understand how much alcohol is in a shot, use measuring tools, and use your judgement to determine when a drink tastes good. [Edit]Learning Measurement Names - Measure parts based on the volume of your serving glass. When a drink calls for "parts," it is referring to the ratio of ingredients within the cocktail. You can take some liberties with how much of a certain drink you would like to make. This is great for drinks where you may want to make a pitcher for a large gathering.[1]
- For example, if a recipe calls for 1 part vodka and 2 parts tonic water, you can either pour 1 shot of vodka and 2 shots of tonic water, or 2 shots of vodka and 4 shots of tonic water, etc.
- Pour of alcohol for a standard shot. Shot glasses can come in different shapes and sizes. If a recipe is calling for a shot of alcohol, pour into your drink. A double shot refers to 2 shots, which is .[2]
- Many recipes don't require their alcohol measurements to be exact.
- Use of alcohol if your cocktail calls for a jigger. A jigger is a measuring tool that holds a little over 1 shot of alcohol. If you don't have a jigger, you can measure out of alcohol to mix into your drink. Some jiggers hold different amounts of liquid, but a standard one is .[3]
- Only classic cocktails, like Old Fashioneds and Cosmopolitans, will use this measurement.
- Pour of alcohol if your drink calls for a pony. A pony gets its name from the classic American shot glass. This amount of alcohol is slightly less than the standard shot glass used now. Use slightly less than a full shot of alcohol if your recipe calls for this measurement.[4]
- Cocktails that call for a pony will usually say it in their name, like Pimm's Pony Cocktail or the Pony Express Cocktail.
- Count to 1 while you pour for a splash of something. A splash is a measurement that is fairly subjective. You can standardize it slightly by counting to 1 while you pour your splash of whatever ingredient the recipe calls for. You can add more or less if you choose to do so.[5]
- If you are uncertain, pour a small amount of your ingredient and taste it. Add more if you think it needs it.
- Cocktails often call for splashes of citrus juices, simple syrups, and berry juices.
- Use 3 to 6 drops of bitters for a dash. When a recipe calls for a dash, it is most often referring to bitters in a cocktail. A dash is another measurement that is very subjective. Add 3 to 6 drops of bitters to your drink depending on how you like your drink. Start with less and add more if you would like to.[6]
[Edit]Using Measurement Tools - Attach a bottle spout on liquor bottles for control during a free pour. Free pours are when you pour alcohol straight from the bottle without using a measuring tool. To give you better control, attach a meal bottle spout on the mouth of a liquor bottle before you pour. These spouts help slow down the flow of liquor.[7], 2 counts is , 3 counts is , and 4 counts is .}}
- Use a double jigger for shots and double shots of alcohol. Double jiggers have openings on both ends instead of just 1. The smaller opening holds about a shot of alcohol, and the larger opening holds about 2 shots of alcohol. Pour your alcohol into 1 side of the jigger up until the fill line. Then, pour your liquid into a cocktail glass.[8]
- Some jiggers are slightly bigger or smaller than a shot or double shot.
- Pour ingredients into a cocktail beaker to measure as you pour. Cocktail beakers hold between and . Cocktail beakers are helpful tools to make most drinks. If you only have a few ingredients, pour them 1 at a time into a cocktail beaker. Add up the amounts of all the ingredients that you have, and subtract them from the total as you pour them into the beaker.[9]
- For example, if your recipe calls for of vodka, of triple sec, and of lime juice, add those up to get . Use the measurements on the side of the beaker to measure each ingredient until you get to .
- Measure your ingredients in a measuring cup for an easy conversion. If you don't have any bartending specific tools, use a clear measuring cup that you already have. Ones that don't hold much volume are the best because they will have smaller measurements on the side. Pour your ingredients in the measuring cup 1 at a time and add them up as you go.[10]
- For example, if your recipe calls for of Campari, of orange juice, and of sparkling water, use your measuring cup to pour each ingredient one at a time until you reach .
