On the Menu: Sous VideEven the most talented chef can

struggle with cooking a piece of meat orseafood perfectly every time—at leastwhen only using traditional techniquesand equipment like a skillet or oven.That’s why many professional cooksuse the sous vide method. This Frenchterm meaning “under vacuum” refers tofood that is placed in a sealed bag withdesired seasonings, then cooked in atemperature-controlled water bath. Thewater heats the food to the desiredtemperature and can safely keep itthere for hours, or even days, withoutovercooking it. The chef can finish thefood by grilling or searing its exterior.The resulting dish is juicy, tender andfull of flavor. In practice since the1970s, the method is gaining popularitywith home cooks, thanks to theavailability of sous vide equipment.

American ArchitectFrank Lloyd Wright, born June 8,

1867, in Wisconsin, is considered themost influential architect of his time. Hedesigned more than 1,000 structuresand became known for a style calledPrairie School, which incorporated whathe called “organic architecture.”

Starry, Starry NightOne of the most magnificent sights

in nature, the night sky has beeninspiring stargazers for centuries.Adding to its beauty are88 identifiable star patterns, calledconstellations. Have some fun findinga few of the most famous:

Orion. The distinct figure of Orionthe Hunter is easy to find by his belt,represented by a row of threebright stars.

Ursa Major. The name of thisconstellation means “Great Bear,”and it is notable for containing theBig Dipper, one of the mostrecognizable star patterns. The Big

Dipper forms the bear’s tail andpart of its back.

Ursa Minor. In Greek mythology,the “Little Bear” is the child of theGreat Bear, and is also called theLittle Dipper. The dipper’s handle isthe bear’s tail. Polaris, better knownas the North Star, is the tip of thetail and has been used fornavigation for thousands of years.

Canis Major. The brightest star inthe night sky, Sirius, is located inthis constellation, which means“Great Dog.” Look for stars thatform a stick figure, with Sirius asthe head.

A Pink DrinkSipping a refreshing glass of pink

lemonade is the perfect way to cooloff when the temperature climbs. Buthave you ever wondered who inventedthe drink, and why it’s tinted pink?

Most historians have traced pinklemonade to 19th-century travelingcircuses, where traditional lemonadewas already a popular refreshment.Two stories of the origin of the pinkversion stand out. In one, Henry Allott,a teenager working at a circusconcession stand, accidentallydropped red cinnamon-flavoredcandies into a batch of lemonade.He served the rosy-hued drink to hiswaiting customers, and it was a hit.

A second story claims circusworker Pete Conklin ran out of waterwhile making lemonade. He grabbed anearby tub of water that a performerhad 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 thirstquencher. The pink lemonade soldtoday is usually tinted with fruit juicesand extracts or red food dye.

So why does the pink drink remaina favorite? Psychologists believe thatits pastel color is relaxing andcalming, providing ideal relief on a hotsummer day.

Pickin’ and Grinnin’For more than two decades,

star-studded country music andcornball comedy combined toproduce one of the most successfulshows in television history. Just askthe fans of “Hee Haw,” whichpremiered June 15, 1969.

The variety show’s creators wereinspired by the popularity of “Rowanand Martin’s Laugh-In” and wanted tomake a country version. Roy Clarkand Buck Owens co-hosted theseries, which took place in fictionalKornfield Kounty. Along with music,the show featured old-fashioned ruralcomedy in recurring segments like“Pickin’ and Grinnin’,” “What’s forSupper?” and “Lulu’s Truck Stop.”

In addition to famous castmembers such as Roy Acuff andMinnie Pearl, “Hee Haw” showcaseda long list of high-profile guestperformers, from country legends toartists in a variety of genres. JohnnyCash, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn,Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis andSammy Davis Jr. are just a few of thesingers who made appearances.Dozens of TV, film and sports stars—including Ed McMahon, EthelMerman, Big Bird from “SesameStreet” and Mickey Mantle—also paidvisits to Kornfield Kounty.
