I went hiking in North Cascades National Park and Mt Rainier National Park in early July, 2011.

Hiking Gap Mountain
Gap Mountain is in Troy, NH. It's a short hike to the top, about an hour. It's worth it; when you get there, there are wild blueberry bushes!
When I went in late June, the blueberries weren't ripe yet.
Here are some pictures:

The Scale of the Universe
This is me figuring out the scale of everything at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. You should go. It will blow your mind.

Bagel Day!
Today I decided to make my own bagels.
For a while it has been bothering me that you can easily buy a poppy seed bagel, and you can easily buy an egg bagel, but it is impossible to find an egg bagel with poppy seeds. So you need to make one yourself.
I made some plain and some with poppy seeds.
Here are some pictures (click to enlarge):
Here is the recipe I used:
Egg Bagels
Bagel ingredients:
4 eggs
2 packets of yeast
8 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Glaze ingredients:
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
Optional ingredients:
Poppy seeds or sesame seeds or whatever.
Instructions:
Mix together all dry bagel ingredients well. Stir in all wet bagel ingredients. Knead for 10 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise in warm place for twenty minutes.
Punch down the dough and divide into 30 pieces. (I did this rather unevenly so some of the bagels turned out big and some small. It doesn't really matter.)
Roll into nice balls. Punch a hole through the center of each ball and then spin it around a chopstick to make the hole bigger. The chopstick thing is my own idea and probably a crazy one.
Put them on trays and allow to rise for fifteen more minutes.
While they are rising, make the glaze by mixing 2 egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl.
Cooking:
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Use the chopstick to drop bagels in boiling water 5 inches deep and boil for about three minutes; turn each bagel once. I did 4 bagels at once.
Place on greased sheet and brush on egg yolk glaze. Sprinkle on poppy seeds or sesame seeds or nothing or whatever you want.
Bake at 450°F for 18-20 minutes.
Don't burn yourself. Eat with honey or cream cheese.

Princess Tiara Cupcakes
Iced the cupcakes with pink icing, smoothed the icing, then put white sugar sprinkles. The sugar looks like diamonds maybe?
After these were in the cupcake holder I thought they needed some fairy magic wands, so it was back to the melted chocolate on wax paper. If you trail the ends to a point you can spike them right into the cupcakes.
Next time I think I will make the magic stars a bit pointier.
White Chocolate Tiaras
These set in 1 minute in the freezer. Don't forget to add the little pink pearl sprinkles while the chocolate is still liquid!
Making Cupcakes
These are "princess crown" cupcakes. I made the crowns out of marshmallows--cut out the center with a coke can tube, then dyed them in yellow food coloring and let them dry overnight.
It was lots of fun!

The Tree that Time Built
Do not fret, and do not doubt
You are in time, you can't fall out
No matter what you say or do
You are in time, time is in you
And everything that is to be
Will be in time, upon this tree

Chris drives with Trapster on WBZ-TV
I got my 2 minutes of fame on the local CBS News affliate WBZ-TV in Boston. I drove around with reporter David Wade talking about a cellphone application called Trapster that helps you find police speed traps. Funny!
