Employee Birthdays On the Menu: Sous Vide Even the most talented chef can struggle with cooking a piece of meat or seafood perfectly every time at least when only using traditional techniques and equipment like a skillet or oven. That s why many professional cooks use the sous vide method. This French term meaning under vacuum refers to food that is placed in a sealed bag with desired seasonings, then cooked in a temperature-controlled water bath. The water heats the food to the desired temperature and can safely keep it there for hours, or even days, without overcooking it. The chef can finish the food by grilling or searing its exterior. The resulting dish is juicy, tender and full of flavor. In practice since the 1970s, the method is gaining popularity with home cooks, thanks to the availability of sous vide equipment. American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, born June 8, 1867, in Wisconsin, is considered the most influential architect of his time. He designed more than 1,000 structures and became known for a style called Prairie School, which incorporated what he called organic architecture.

How old were you when you learned to ride? What other wheels did you have as a kid perhaps a wagon, pedal car, roller skates or a homemade soap box derby car?

5 6 Talk About It Wheels in Motion From riding in a wagon to pedaling a bicycle, many childhood adventures take place on wheels. Use these questions to roll into a discussion about bikes, trikes and more. Did you have a tricycle or bicycle when you were growing up? If so, what did it look like? How old were you when you learned to ride? What other wheels did you have as a kid perhaps a wagon, pedal car, roller skates or a homemade soap box derby car? Did you use wheels to do a job or chore, such as deliver newspapers on a bicycle or drive a farm tractor? When you got older, did you learn to drive a car, truck or motorcycle? What was your favorite set of wheels as an adult? Starry, Starry Night One of the most magnificent sights in nature, the night sky has been inspiring stargazers for centuries. Adding to its beauty are 88 identifiable star patterns, called constellations. Have some fun finding a few of the most famous: Orion. The distinct figure of Orion the Hunter is easy to find by his belt, represented by a row of three bright stars. Ursa Major. The name of this constellation means Great Bear, and it is notable for containing the Big Dipper, one of the most recognizable star patterns. The Big HAPPY FATHER S DAY Dipper forms the bear s tail and part of its back. Ursa Minor. In Greek mythology, the Little Bear is the child of the Great Bear, and is also called the Little Dipper. The dipper s handle is the bear s tail. Polaris, better known as the North Star, is the tip of the tail and has been used for navigation for thousands of years. Canis Major. The brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is located in this constellation, which means Great Dog. Look for stars that form a stick figure, with Sirius as the head. Cassiopeia. Named for a queen in Greek mythology, this constellation s five bright stars create an M or W shape. Scorpius. Meaning Scorpion, Scorpius is usually located near the horizon, where a line of stars curve into an upside-down question mark, forming the animal s tail.

7 A Pink Drink Sipping a refreshing glass of pink lemonade is the perfect way to cool off when the temperature climbs. But have you ever wondered who invented the drink, and why it s tinted pink?

In one, Henry Allott, a teenager working at a circus concession stand, accidentally dropped red cinnamon-flavored candies into a batch of lemonade.

6 7 A Pink Drink Sipping a refreshing glass of pink lemonade is the perfect way to cool off when the temperature climbs. But have you ever wondered who invented the drink, and why it s tinted pink? Most historians have traced pink lemonade to 19th-century traveling circuses, where traditional lemonade was already a popular refreshment. Two stories of the origin of the pink version stand out. In one, Henry Allott, a teenager working at a circus concession stand, accidentally dropped red cinnamon-flavored candies into a batch of lemonade. He served the rosy-hued drink to his waiting customers, and it was a hit. A second story claims circus worker Pete Conklin ran out of water while making lemonade. He grabbed a nearby tub of water that a performer had used to wash her pink tights, added it to his mixture, and sold it as strawberry lemonade. However the beverage came to be, it continues to be a popular thirst quencher. The pink lemonade sold today is usually tinted with fruit juices and extracts or red food dye. So why does the pink drink remain a favorite? Psychologists believe that its pastel color is relaxing and calming, providing ideal relief on a hot summer day. Pickin and Grinnin For more than two decades, star-studded country music and cornball comedy combined to produce one of the most successful shows in television history. Just ask the fans of Hee Haw, which premiered June 15, The variety show s creators were inspired by the popularity of Rowan and Martin s Laugh-In and wanted to make a country version. Roy Clark and Buck Owens co-hosted the series, which took place in fictional Kornfield Kounty. Along with music, the show featured old-fashioned rural comedy in recurring segments like Pickin and Grinnin, What s for Supper? and Lulu s Truck Stop. In addition to famous cast members such as Roy Acuff and Minnie Pearl, Hee Haw showcased a long list of high-profile guest performers, from country legends to artists in a variety of genres. Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. are just a few of the singers who made appearances. Dozens of TV, film and sports stars including Ed McMahon, Ethel Merman, Big Bird from Sesame Street and Mickey Mantle also paid visits to Kornfield Kounty. The Senior Games Much like the Olympic Games, the National Senior Games is an inspiring display of hard work, dedication and athleticism. The competition is the largest multisport event in the world for seniors and takes place every two years in a different U.S. city. The first Senior Games were held in 1987 in St. Louis. In recent years, the games have attracted more than 10,000 athletes, all over the age of 50, including some centenarians. After competing at the state level, qualifying athletes attend the national games for a chance to win a gold, silver or bronze medal in their events. Currently, 19 sports are offered, including basketball, tennis, swimming, golf, bowling and shuffleboard. This year s competition is June 2 15 in Birmingham, Ala.
