The Dentist

Physician Geoffrey Hart, working with a grant from the National Institutes of Health, recently developed the Pedi-Sedate headgear to trick waiting-room kids into inhaling nitrous oxide while playing video games, thus knocking themselves out and, according to Hart's company, "dramatically improv(ing) the hospital or dental experience for the child, parents and healthcare providers." The helmet contains sophisticated sensors to monitor the dosages and effects on the child.

Government

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.

Snakes Head Found in Broccoli


Here's something for you to think about the next time you go out to eat.

CLIFTON PARK, New York (May 7) - A diner at a restaurant in upstate New York says he got a little something extra with his broccoli — a severed snake head.
Jack Pendleton told The Times Union of Albany that he was at the T.G.I. Friday's restaurant in the town of Clifton Park on Sunday when he spotted something gray mixed in with his vegetables. He realized it was a snake head the size of his thumb, with part of the spine still attached.
"I start to turn it over. I see this gray-green patch," he told The Times Union.
"I could see these black, rotted eye sockets on the top," he added. He said the head had part of spine attached.
"I stopped eating," he said in The Times Union. "I told my girlfriend, 'I think this is a head.'"

What would you do? Would you sue the restaurant?

Frog Legs


Wok-Tossed, Twice-Cooked Crispy Salt and Pepper Frog Legs

2 pounds cleaned frog legs
3 tbs. kosher salt
3 egg whites
1 cup corn starch
4 cups peanut oil
2 tbs. peanut oil reserved from the 4 cups
12 scallions, cut in 2-inch lengths
1 golf-ball-sized piece of fresh ginger, cut into thin needles
1 tbs. sea salt
1 tsp. ground white pepper
2 tbs. sugar
5 dried red chiles

Toss frog legs with kosher salt, and let sit for 15 minutes. Press in a dry towel to remove moisture. Dip frog legs in egg whites, then dredge in corn starch. Fry to crisp in several batches. Tip off the oil, (strain and let cool, reserving for another use) leaving 2 tbs. behind, and increase the heat to high. When smoking, add the scallions, ginger, died chiles and swirl the wok, add the frog legs. Toss a few times, adding the salt, pepper and sugar in thirds as you rotate the food across the wok surface. Toss and serve; the sauce below is nice for dipping.

FU-XIAN DIPPING SAUCE FOR FRIED FROG
1/2 cup shallots, thinly shaved
3 tbs. red and green hot chiles, minced
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock
3 tbs. Chinese rice wine or sake
3 tbs. sugar, or more to taste
1 tbs. ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Combine and use immediately.
