Finally, Science That Matters!

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Research chefs at a culinary lab in Bellevue, Washington believe they’ve discovered the way to make the best french fries. The potato batons are vacuum-sealed with 2% salt brine in bags, then bombarded with intense ultrasound waves from the same device that dentists and jewelers use. Afterward, they’re vacuum-dried, then double-dipped in extremely hot oil. The result: A hugely satisfying crunch when you bite through the exterior that yields to a center of incredibly smooth mashed-potato consistency.

Who has the best fries in town?  Let us know at www.q92timmins.com

I read this today and thought it was pretty interesting.  Is it possible to move the station to the Hollinger Water Park?

HOW TO SURVIVE WORKING IN SUMMER:

• Give Yourself a Break – Too many of us fail to take any vacation whatsoever. Commit to using at least part of your accumulated vacation time during summer.

• Look Into Flex Time – See if you can work longer hours Monday through Thursday in order to leave early on Friday, or come in earlier each day so you can leave earlier and enjoy summer afternoons.

• Bring Summer Into the Office – Put flowers on your desk, a beach screensaver on your computer, play some summer music, etc.

• Make the Most of Your Lunch Hour – Get outdoors in a nearby park and treat yourself to a business day picnic, or find a café with outdoor seating.

• Take Your Work Outside – See if you can move a meeting outdoors, or try to steal some quiet moments outside with your laptop

Britain’s NME polled their readers to pick the ‘Greatest Singers Of All Time.’ Topping the list was the self-proclaimed “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, followed by Queen‘s Freddie Mercury, with “The King” — Elvis Presley – rounding out the Top Three. Coming in at Number Four was Guns N’ Rose frontman Axl Rose — with John Lennon just eking into the Top Five. Vintage Vinyl News reported that “over 10 million votes were cast along with 4,000 Facebook comments.” It’s interesting to note that only three vocalists made their debut recordings within the past 30 years.
