Cooking
Today, I made French toast by myself. As she was ready to walk out the door, I asked Granny a quick question about what she put in the egg mixture to make French toast. She said that she used milk, pancake mix, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. She suggested using a pie plate as well, but because the area was so large, I decided to use a plastic container to allow it to soak more freely. I used three eggs, a pinch of salt, a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract, cinnamon, 2 1/2 tablespoons of pancake mix, and three eggs. While the cooktop was heating up, I soaked a piece of bread in the eggs. After the pan had completed preheating, I coated it with butter and flipped the bread in the eggs for a few seconds before placing it in the pan. I flipped it a few times before putting it to a dish to make sure it was perfect. I did the same thing with the other one and the beginning of the last one, but I still had some egg left over, so I plopped it on top of the French toast and it turned into a pancake. I only had to turn it once more and wait two minutes before transferring it to the plate, and it looked like a giant fluffy pancake with all three stacked on top of each other when I looked at it.
Biology
Today I read a article on the different types of coral reefs. Firstly was the Fringing reefs, some of which are right along the beach, are number one. They can also produce shallow subtidal or intertidal areas with sandy bottoms, although they are not large enough to be called lagoons. The Barrier Reef, which runs parallel to the shore, is the second. They're large, and they're separated from the shore by a lagoon. Due to its formation, the barrier reef wall is the difference between deep blue oceans and crystal clear gorgeous waters. Finally, there are the Atolls, which are located in the Indian Ocean. In the Caribbean, there are only roughly 27 identified atolls. In comparison to the Caribbean, the IndoPacific has far more atolls.
