Surely you've seen the hexaflexagon YouTube video by now. The short speedy clip, which makes math actually entertaining and mind-bending, was released in October and went viral, now earning north of 4 million views. 

It propelled its creator, vihart (full name Victoria Hart and self-described mathemusician) into the limelight, though she was already a heroine to math educators for her "Doodling in Math Class" videos where she explains fractals and Fibonacci with elephants, camels and pine cones. 

Now she's put out another video, a recipe for a hexaflexagon taco using a strip of tortilla, which is also going viral as we speak. Just watch what happens to that guacamole! 

Taco Bell, don't get any ideas!

See the video below.

How To Make Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

Cooking With Dog (not what you think), arguably the best YouTube cooking show out there, has been back for a while after the chef was injured in a bicycle accident earlier this year. Their latest recipe shows them how to make pineapple ice cream, a favorite in subtropical Okinawa, without the use of a single ice cream maker.

It may not be as mind-blowingly revelatory as that YouTube video of the water bottle egg separating trick a few weeks ago, but still, if you have a freezer and a food processor, it demonstrates that you needn't spend any more money on extra equipment if what you're after is a fruit-based ice cream. The recipe also works for peaches, and I would imagine, strawberries, or anything else that you can freeze...bananas, mangoes, roasted garlic??

Did you see that egg-yolk-separating-water-bottle trick video that Michelle posted about this morning? I was one of the many people who were mesmerized by the revelation of that YouTube clip this past weekend. It's one of those slap-your-forehead moments that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of that before?"

There comes a moment in every Hatch chile lover's life when they triumph over the line at the store, come home with two sacks of hard-won green chiles, and then realize that they're fading fast and they now have to figure out what to do with 60 pounds of spicy peppers. Most go into the freezer, but then they tend to migrate toward the back and they go forgotten until the next summer, when it's a race to finish them and get the next batch.

Cooking with Dog, one of the most popular YouTube cooking shows, went on an involuntary hiatus when the star, a Japanese woman who just goes by "Chef," was injured in a bicycle accident in January.

While she has been recovering, the YouTube channel filled the time with remastered episodes from the past. But last week, there was a brand new episode. The Chef isn't yet back on duty, but she did make an appearance to introduce a guest cook who filled in just for this episode.

Popular YouTube Chef Seriously Injured

cooking_with_dog_chef.jpg
​If Cooking With Dog isn't the most popular cooking channel on YouTube, it is certainly the most beloved. The series of cooking shorts that details, step-by-step, the creation of more than 70 Japanese dishes was recently selected for a YouTube Japanese Award. Our sister blog SFoodie shares our love and did a list of Top 5 Cooking With Dog Episodes a few weeks ago. 

The latest entry, uploaded yesterday, started typically with the woman our "dog" narrator refers to as Chef preparing a dish (an oyster and egg donburi). But it ended with a bombshell. A note stated that the woman recently "sustained serious injuries while riding her bicycle in the suburbs of Tokyo."
