Learn how to make an Egg-Raf-Muffin

Breakfast is the most essential of meals! And the one meal where you can eat desserts, meats, carbs, and other delights in a single meal. My favorites being: pancakes, waffles, omelets, and  of course... The EGG RAF MUFFIN! This last one has evolved from using an English muffin, to Burger buns, to now the healthy choice of whole wheat bread. In order to counter balance the healthiness of whole wheat, I load up my sandwich with ham and cheese. Anyway, this is an instant classic, so try surprising your special someone in the morning with an Egg Raf Muffin breakfast.

Learn About New England Hot Dog Buns

I had never known of another type of bun for hot dogs other than the traditional side cut, until I moved to New England. This top cut bun actually makes perfect sense for Lobster Rolls and Hot dogs, you get a larger surface area for extra butter and toastiness!

Learn to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

Learn about different fries

Are you a fry aficionado? I would say that most foods could be complemented by the right fry, and you could even make a whole meal out of fries. One of my favorites in Boston is at "Saus" where you can have fries as a meal! Anyway, here're other typologies of fries.

Learn how to ski - South Park style

Ski season is here, and we need to make the most out of it. I haven't gone skiing much, but I think this is an instant classic way of learning from the South Park ski instructor "Thumper". You can check it out here: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s06e03-asspen around minute 3:45
Anyway, it's quite simple, just pizza or french fry, and you're bound to "have a good time."  ^-^

Learn to properly pronounce Worcestershire Sauce!

This is probably the trickiest condiment to pronounce. Yet, I've seen it being used on everything. Maybe only if you have lived in England or Massachusetts you will know it's tricky name since the sauce is originally from Worcester, England. And since Massachusetts was settled by English in the 1600's, most of the towns are named after towns in England, like Worcester. So anyway, enjoy asking properly for the Worcestershire sauce for your next shrimp cocktail, bloody Mary mix, or steak meal.

Learn to enjoy the new year!

Many people set a bunch of unreachable new year resolutions, and other classic ones like lose weight, exercise more, get a new job. Just enjoy each new day, and take that leap of faith! Happy New Year

Learn about US Airports

I'm sure we all have our picks for the worst airports, and worst airlines, so what does it mean for when you're traveling for the coming holidays? These are diagrams for the 25 busiest airports throughout the year, 10 busiest during the Holidays (Thanksgiving), and a combination of the worst airports with the worst airlines. I have to say, I hate DELTA the most even though in the ranking they were 5th worst. It so happens that Delta's home base is Atlanta, which is also in the list for worst delays. Combine both, and you have the worst travel experience! I had to go through such an experience on a trip to Korea, where Delta lost our bags, delayed our flights so we missed our connections, and left us hanging. Thank God for foreign airlines!

Learn about "Murses"

You may have heard this term before, but let's analyze what it means. So far, I've identified two uses of the term, both terms equally useful as they are funny. Here's the breakdown:

Learn to Fold Clothing

I try to keep my clothing organized, and folded neatly. Shirts are easy, but what do you do with smaller items? Specifically socks, should they be folded or rolled? I always choose to fold them together. I know that by rolling them together you keep the pair in check, but folding them actually saves more time and doesn't ruin the elasticity of the socks. I've always been very paranoid about what happens to the elastic of that one sock that is doing all the work of keeping them together. So here's how I fold:

Learn about the cost of skipping school

I'll admit that I've never skipped a class in my life. Not because I'm a nerd, but because the implications of skipping a class are too costly, literally. Have you ever thought of how much a class is worth per day? If you went to a private school it'll be around $70 per hour of class. ($70 an hour is equivalent to a salary of $145,600 a year by the way) This is why Higher Education Institutions make such a great business. You pay in advance for a service in education, but there's no refunds when you skip. It would be nice if you could pay per day. That way it wouldn't matter economically if you miss the class or not for any reason. If you miss a class because your sick and have to go to the doctor, you're basically paying for the class you missed and for the doctors visit. Shouldn't you be able to get a note for a refund? Anyway, being sick is one thing, but think about what you can do with that money next time you consciously decide to skip.

Learn how to dress for the winter

Summer came and went, and Halloween marks the end of the season and the beginning of winter. So how to dress up for these coming cold days? Well, check it out:

Learn about an Alternative Source of Clean Energy

I had posted before about how eating less might help save the planet. But maybe there's an alternative approach so solving the energy crisis, and we might be sitting literally on a source of clean energy! Have you ever visited a children's museum or a museum of science? They always have an exhibit of a stationary bike connected to a generator powering a light bulb. Why hasn't anybody looked into this?!! The trick is to make this a collective effort. A single bike might power a laptop, but collectively we could power some homes. If all the gyms would connect all of their aerobic machines to a generator, they could produce a significant amount of energy. We could fill two birds with one stone: fight obesity in America by making people exercise at the generator gyms. This would mean that America would be #1 in Energy Source from its obese population. So next time you're eating a chocolate bar, remember that you might help solving the energy crisis one day.

Learn about the evolution of Halloween

Halloween evolved from it's Celtic origins of celebrating the Harvest to becoming a fun excuse for dressing  up. I never really went "trick or Treating" during Halloween, but I do dress up and eat lots of chocolates. So even though people grow up, let's keep Halloween going cause there's always a reason for dressing up. Let's see how this girl managed the transition of Halloween as a girl to Halloween as a woman.

Learn how to give a Hand Shake

Living in different countries, I've found myself in some weird situations while greeting where I didn't know if to give a hug, a kiss on the cheek, or hand shake with pat on the back. You can never go wrong with a solid, firm, international hand shake. Have you ever given a hand shake where the other person sneaks in too early and it feel like you're shaking a fish? Or when they get deep in there and your thumb gets all tied up? A proper hand shake goes a long way in most cultures, so learn the way.
