Why is it called 'hollandaise'?
That it mimics a Dutch sauce is one of the reasons given for the name 'hollandaise'. The French word means 'Dutch'. It's supposed to have been served in the course of a state visit by the King of Netherlands.The word 'sauce' also is a French word. It comes from the Latin word 'salsus', for 'salted'. Salt indeed is one of the ingredients in hollandaise sauce. The recipe tends to call for butter, egg yolks, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and white or cayenne pepper.Additionally, it has the hallowed status within French cooking as being one of the mother sauces of the country's 'haute cuisine' ['fine food']. That means that it's the source for a number of what are called 'derivative' sauces. The derived sauces differ from the mother by including other ingredients or in making a change or changes to the standard ingredients. Two delicious, derived sauces are 'Sauce au vin blanc', which adds fish stock and white wine; and 'Sauce Noisette', which calls for browned butter.One of the best known and most respected uses of hollandaise is as the sauce in Eggs Benedict.
What is popcorn used for?
Popcorn was an important food for the Aztec Indians, who also used popcorn as decoration for ceremonial headdresses, necklaces, and ornaments on statues of their gods. The Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies, an organisation of 13 oil companies operating in Norwegian waters, is organising a major exercise focused on cleaning up ocean oil spills using popcorn to simulate the oil instead of actually using sticky crude. When popcorn absorbs water it forms an emulsion that is very similar to spilled oil, and mimics the effect of ocean currents on oil. "We didn't want to spill real oil, but wanted the exercise to be as realistic as possible while also being environmentally friendly," operation adviser Kaare Joergensen told The Associated Press. After the popcorn is dumped about 300 people in more than 30 boats, plus observation aircraft, will respond as they would if it had been a real oil spill from one of the many offshore oil platforms that make Norway the world's third largest oil exporter. The boats will use oil spill booms to contain and clean up the popcorn at sea, while people on shore will practice cleanup techniques on land. After the exercise, the popcorn will be used as little food supplement for fish, birds and wildlife. Eating - with butter and salt. Sometimes I use it to pack fraigle things But usually I EAT IT! Using a needle and string, pierce each hull and run down the string until string is full. Use it to decorate Christmas trees. --- I like the idea of packing fragile things. When the person opens the package, if the popcorn is still good, it seems like a pleasant surprise.
Which branch is the leader of the military?
No branch of the Military Service is the leader of the military. Consider some of the following leadership elements:The President of the US (Executive Branch) is the elected Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.The Secretary of Defense is a political appointee who deals with budgetary matters, organization, strategic defense planning and the big picture.The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff provides the Commander in Chief with the very best military advice available and this post has been held by members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Marine Corps.The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies provide a variety of inputs to support the military.The Army is the largest branch in terms of numbers.The Navy and the Air Force share first place in total available destructive power.The Navy and th Air Force equally share the need to transport a US presence to anywhere in the world and this is where a power and position as leader of the military starts to get fuzzy. After all if the military can't reach the point of conflict rapidly and with all the tools it needs, then it is an incomplete and ineffective force.The UK became an Empire and a world presence based on a projection of Naval power to distant shores and the ability to secure and hold that ground.The US Navy mimics this profile of force projection supported by a Corps of Marines capable of securing a sustainable beachhead anywhere, Seals for Special Operations and a Fleet that is capable of and able to put boots on the ground anywhere in the world within 48 hours.No service holds a pre-eminent position.Each Branch provides a single slice of the pie that makes up an effective and complete national defense system. At it's core is the strength and mass of the US Army and the focal point of the Army is the individual rifleman.
