Serves: 8
Total Time: 1 hr
Prep Time: 25 min
Oven Temp: 425
Ingredients
U.S. Metric Conversion chart
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for the pan
6 English muffins, split and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large leek, white and light green part only, cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
12 ounce(s) Canadian bacon, chopped
6 large eggs, at room temperature
8 large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 1/2 cup(s) whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
Pepper
1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon(s) Dijon mustard
Directions
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish (or eight 16-ounce baking dishes) with oil. Place the English muffin pieces on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes; transfer to the prepared baking dish (or dishes). Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Spoon the mixture over the English muffins.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, milk, dry mustard, chives, 1 1/2 cups cream, and 1/2 teaspoon each cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the leek-bacon mixture and bake until casserole is puffed, golden brown and just set, 40 to 45 minutes (about 25 minutes for individual dishes).
Ten minutes before the casserole is finished, ielts writing make the hollandaise sauce. Melt the butter in the microwave. In a metal or glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, remaining 1/2 cup cream, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the bowl over (but not in) a saucepan of simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to electric motor ac low. Still whisking constantly, gradually add the melted butter. Sprinkle the casserole with additional chives, if desired, and serve with the hollandaise.

Stars
1 package(s) (8-serving size) or 2 packages (4-serving size) any flavor red gelatin
1 package(s) (8-serving size) or 2 packages (4-serving size) berry-blue gelatin
Cake
3 1/3 cup(s) plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
5 1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 stick(s) (1 cup) butter, softened
1 3/4 cup(s) milk
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
8 whites of large eggs, at room temperature (save yolks for another use)
Whipped Cream Frosting
3 teaspoon(s) unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoon(s) cold water
3 cup(s) cold heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 cup(s) confectioners’ sugar
Extra decorations: tubes of red and blue decorating gel, ielts writing red and blue sprinkles, fresh raspberries, fresh mint
Directions
Stars: Have ready two 13 x 9-inch pans (disposable foil is fine) and star-shape cookie cutters in various sizes.
Up to 1 day before serving: Place red and blue gelatin in separate bowls. Add 11?4 cups boiling water to each and stir until dissolved. Pour into separate pans and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
To unmold Stars: Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap. Dip pans into warm water 10 to 15 seconds to loosen gelatin. Invert onto work surface. Cut out stars with each size cutter from both colors gelatin (you'll have more than needed to decorate cake). Lift stars to lined cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble cake.
Cake: Position racks to divide oven in thirds. Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease, then flour two 8 x 1 1?2-inch-round cake pans and two 6 x 1 1?2-inch-round cake pans (see Cook's Tips).
Place all Cake ingredients except egg whites into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute until blended. Increase mixer speed to high mortgage calculator and beat 2 minutes until fluffy. Return speed to low, add egg whites and beat just until blended. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 1 minute longer or until whites are thoroughly blended. Don't overbeat.
Immediately pour batter into prepared pans, filling each 2?3 full. Smooth tops.
Stagger pans on oven racks so no pan sits directly above another. (Pans can remain in same position during baking.) Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of each layer comes out clean (smaller layers may finish baking first).
Cool cakes in pans on wire racks 5 minutes before inverting on racks to cool completely.
Thirty minutes before assembling cake: Place a large bowl and beaters of an electric mixer in freezer 15 minutes.
Frosting: In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water Loop app and let stand 1 minute. Place over low heat and stir with a rubber spatula until completely dissolved. Pour into small bowl and cool about 5 minutes (mixture should still be warm).
Using chilled bowl and beaters, beat cream on high speed until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add confectioners' sugar and beat 30 seconds until blended. Add gelatin mixture, increase mixer speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Use immediately. Makes 6 cups.
To assemble cake: Place one 8-inch cake layer on serving plate. Spread top with 1 cup frosting. Top with remaining 8-inch layer. Center a 6-inch layer on top. Spread top with 3?4 cup frosting. Top with second 6-inch layer. Frost top and sides.
Gently press some Stars onto cake. Pipe stripes with piping gels; add sprinkles. Garnish with berries and mint.
To serve: Cut top tier in wedges down to bottom tier, then cut bottom tier. Add 1 or 2 of the extra Stars to each serving.

These stretchy, durable sensors
f we must have an Internet of Things, it makes no sense to leave clothes out of the party. But clothes must be worn, washed, bunched up and folded — it’s hard to make electronics that can survive all that. Plenty are trying, though; the latest attempt is from Harvard’s Wyss Institute, which uses a simple but effective layering method to make a durable, customizable flex sensor .
It’s quite basic, in a way: a material sandwich with layers of conductive fabric above and below a filling of silicone. When the fabric stretches, the silicone gets thinner and the conductive layers get closer together, changing their capacitance and producing a different electrical signal.
The way the layers are assembled, with the fabric laid on the liquid silicone and allowed to cure, physically locks the layers together. So the signal is more predictable and the fabric always returns to a base capacitance — meanwhile, even slight bending or stretching instantly produces a measurable change. It also works when chopped into arbitrarily sized and shaped pieces .
The team put together a glove using multiple pieces of the material, and found that fine movements of the fingers could be detected easily.
“Our sensor’s greater sensitivity means it has the ability to distinguish smaller movements, like slightly moving one finger side-to-side rather than simply whether the whole hand is open or clenched in a fist,” explained graduate student Vanessa Sanchez, co-author of the paper describing the material, in a Harvard news release offshore company.
That could be a boon for all kinds of industries, from sports to virtual reality. Many current solutions for body tracking are rigid and weird, like exoskeletons that fit onto your knuckles or stopwatch-sized trackers mounted inside athletic garb.
This material is still in its early days, however. Because the signal is so simple, it can’t be fundamentally directional without some careful tweaking — meaning the system could only tell that a piece is bending, not that it’s bending to the right or left. I have faith that clever engineers will solve that problem, though, whether by signal processing or different ways of cutting and attaching the material.
The team details their process in the latest issue of Advanced Materials Technologies. If you’re interested in trying it yourself, it’s also documented at Harvard’s Soft Robotics Toolkit.

The team details their process in the latest issue of Advanced Materials Technologies. If you’re interested in trying it yourself, it’s also documented at Harvard’s Soft Robotics Toolkit.

Cauliflower Gratin with Crispy Sage Leaves
From Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
Packed with antioxidants, this dish is as healthy as it is flavorful. It uses a lightened-up bechamel sauce, so you get the richness without the butter. And the fancy sage garnish couldn't be easier: All you need is 10 seconds to flash-fry the fresh leaves in some vegetable oil.

sweet potato cauliflower gratin with crispy sage leaves
Courtesy of Martha Stewart
Serves: 6-8
Total Time: 2 hr
Oven Temp: 350
Ingredients
U.S. Metric Conversion chart
2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
1 cup(s) whole milk
1/4 cup(s) freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon(s) freshly grated Parmesan
20 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon(s) fresh sage, chopped
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 pound(s) sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 head(s) cauliflower, quartered and sliced 1/4-inch thick pora wigs
Vegetable oil, for crisping sage
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and 1 cup water. Cook, whisking, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and the chopped sage. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour a third of the sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Arrange a third of the sweet potato and cauliflower slices along the bottom. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat twice with remaining sauce and vegetables. Cover dish with parchment-lined foil and bake until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Remove foil and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of cheese. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 china work visaminutes before serving.
Meanwhile, crisp sage leaves: Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in a small pot over medium-high heat until surface is shimmering slightly. Add a few leaves at a time (they'll bubble up) and cook until crisp, but still bright green, about 10 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Mice Travel
Season with salt. Top gratin with leaves.

Citrus Butter Roasted Turkey
From Country Living
This recipe has been tested by Country Living
Oven management on the big day can be hectic, but don’t stress. Bake your sides once the bird comes out of the oven. The turkey will stay warm for about an hour, leaving you plenty of time to finish cooking the meal.
