French Toast Macarons

French Toast Ganache
200 grams of heavy cream
60 grams of rum
3 grams of cinnamon
vanilla (to taste)
50 grams all natural maple syrup
250 grams white chocolate

First make the ganache.  Combine the heavy cream, rum, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla over a bain marie. 
Bring to a boil and then pour over white chocolate.  Let sit for about a minute and then stir to emulsify.  
Put ganache over an ice bath and then put plastic wrap directly over the surface of your ganache.  Wait until the ganache is cool and then put into a stand mixer with the whip attached.  Your ganache should get light and creamy.  If needed add more heavy cream.  
Put in the refrigerator until needed.

Cinnamon Macarons
212 grams of almond flour
212 grams of powdered sugar
3 grams cinnamon
vanilla (to taste)
82 grams egg whites
90 grams egg whites
20 grams of sugar

For macarons, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Sift the almond flour, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Pour 82 grams of egg whites and vanilla and combine with a spatula, until evenly distributed.  Set aside.
Place the remaining 90 grams of egg whites into a bowl with a mixer and mix on high until egg whites double in size.  Then slowly pour in the 20 grams of sugar.
Fold 1/3 of your meringue into the almond mixture a little at a time until all the meringue is used and it's an equal consistency.  You should see 'ribbons' in the batter.  The batter should be pretty thick.
Transfer to a pastry bag.  Hold the bag upright and lightly squeeze into a desired circle size on parchment paper and a cookie sheet.
Wait 20 minutes for macarons to set.
Put into the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 320 degrees.  Let bake for 9 to 12 minutes.  Repeat.
Pipe ganache in between two macarons and put together.  Repeat. 
Add cinnamon to sides of macaron if desired.

In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar.

Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color.

"The Rainbow Comes ad Goes" by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt I started reading this book while in line to meet Anderson Cooper at a book signing in Madison, Connecticut.  This was truly an excellent and interesting read.  Gloria Vanderbilt had such an insane and thrilling life, and Anderson Cooper was perfect at interviewing his mother.  I definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether a fan of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, or just someone interested in pop culture and biographies.  This was a fast read.     "The Starboard Sea" by Amber Dermont I bought this book because it was on sale and it was inexpensive.  However, I ended up loving it, and I'm so happy it was on sale that day in Barnes and Noble, for if it wasn't, I probably would have never read it or picked it up.   This book is about the lives of very wealthy teenagers at boarding school, but the main character, Jason, is spilling the secrets on ...

Menopause Risk Assessment, Saving Ovaries Can Better Women’s Health

  Menopause Risk Assessment, Saving Ovaries Can Better Women’s Health As organs start to fail, other health complexities come with it.   The female reproductive system is no stranger to this phenomenon.   “The primary problem of the gaining population is the serious detriments caused by the aging of various organs and the decline of their functions” (Zhang et al., 2019).   Ovaries are one of these organs that women, and the public, accept will fail on them one day, most likely when they still have decades of life ahead of them.   Organ aging is highly associated with a variety of diseases, and menopause is a cause of this.   “The decline of ovarian function and the arrival of menopause, which then lead to multiple organ dysfunction, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, senile dementia, and so on…the risk index is much higher than that of men of the same age” (Zhang et al., 2019).   Once one organ starts to go (the ovaries) other orga...
